Greenspan Fingerprints Found on London Bombs
Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 06:08 PM by BreakForNews


Alan Greenspan may have some explaining to do. Because the fingerprints
of Greenspan's Federal Reserve are all over financial transactions just
ahead of the London bombings.


The Fed has previously supported financial markets by increasing
liquidity to boost the stock market -as happened after 9/11.

But an analysis of stock transactions by financial M.B.A.
"cunningrealist," shows that even though the attacks in London took
place on Thursday, 7th July, the Fed had already hugely increased
liquidity 48 hours before that
--just in time for that liquidity to filter into the market.

Here is his chart of "securities lending" -one way the Fed creates
liquidity. It shows a huge spike on June 30th. This is extraordinary
activity.



Then the Fed almost doubled "temporary liquidity" to $40 billion,
driving this mechanism to a multi-year high on Tuesday, July 5th -and
it kept liquidity elevated on Wednesday and the day of the bombings:

16. George Noory on Coast To Coast AM mentioned the Pound being shorted
and I couldn't find a follow-up article on it.

29. Some graphics
Of the movement of the pound. Looks indeed as something was going on the days before 7/7, though I'm by no way an expert on the finance markets:

26. Bell for most intensive purposes has retired. He will only be airing
about once a month or so. You can laugh about (and yes the anti-Christ guests are a hoot) but it is still the highest rated overnight radio audience in the country.

5. Very interesting!! Here's an article comparing 9/11 and 7/7 Markets

Terrorism, Risk and the Markets
July 10, 2005

Returning to the markets and their reaction to September 11, 2001 versus July 7, 2005, Markets are built to finance future economic growth. The value of the market is a calculus that combines myriad factors, primarily a company’s current and future earnings. One of the major determining factors of future earnings is risk.

Thus, risk will be priced into a stock’s value long before an event occurs. This is precisely what the market has done with terrorism. The market knows the terrorist threat, so when something horrible happens, market actors no longer overreact as they did the week after September 11.

The capital markets are working so efficiently that when Greenspan called his British and European counterparts regarding whether the three central banks should intervene, the decision was to let the markets function since no liquidity problem existed. In short, the terrorists are losing.

They strike at our economic organs thinking that this will cause financial crisis, but the markets already have anticipated their moves. They have lost their most powerful weapon—economic terrorism.



So, thanks to Greenspan, no liquidity problem existed!!! AND this author doesn't know just how true his statement is..."the markets have anticipated their moves."

7. Great Find
...when Greenspan called his British and European counterparts
regarding whether the three central banks should intervene, the decision
was to let the markets function since no liquidity problem existed.


I will update our story with that quote. Thanks

Looks like about $35 billion in extra money pumped in over the week
before the blasts.

14. Yeah - And how is this a 9/11 article anyways?
Error: You can't recommend threads from this forum - Is what I got when trying to recommend this story. This thread is about the London Bombing - So is any story that even mentions 9/11 going to be forced into the 9/11 forum now? Guess people can't be told of the financial manipulations surrounding either "terrorist" attack. Might make them realize the whole official 9/11 story is BS. :(

among all the others about Controlled Demolition and What flew into the Pentagon...

9/11 is a great forum, though!!!

13. Reminds me of the odd airline stock sell-off that happened right before
Sept 11th. Follow the money is always the best rule when trying to figure out why things happen.

Fortunes made on bombing
By Louise Armitstead and Richard Fletcher
11jul05

"THOUSANDS of investors joined sharp institutions in making millions of pounds from the short-lived collapse in share prices that followed the terrorist strikes in London last week.

It was the busiest day of trading for over two years. The London Stock Exchange said 4.75 billion shares were traded on Thursday compared with the recent daily average of about 3.1 billion.
BP and Vodafone were among Britain's largest companies that took advantage of the volatile markets to improve their balance sheets."

21. No yawns here.
Bare with me. In the Eminem video Mosh a terror alert comes on tv.

It's a stage set of Bin Laden which falls over to
reveal Cheney & I think Rumsfeld standing behind it
having a friendly conversation. When they realize
they've been exposed they quickly run off set.

For the past five years the American Corporate Media has
successfully managed the stage set keeping the vileness & criminality
of these merchants of death well concealed from the average American
but this is no video and thousands have died for the greed & avarice of these heartless fuckers that worship power above all. It's up to all Americans to kick the fucking set over & expose these people for what
they truly are.

Thanks for doing your part.

23. Disagree.
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 12:50 AM by Culhavoc
You appear to be confusing liquidity in currency markets with liquidity in equities.

Liquidity in the USD currency market is dictated by fed policy.

Liquidity in respect to "short selling" equities, as I believe you're attempting to illustrate, is based on demand for short shares and how far each dealer is willing to stretch the limits in regard to lending ratios.

The chart that you have provided merely illustrates a sudden uptick in the demand for borrowed securities. Which I agree 100% is shady, to say the least.

Shares that would normally sit in a portfolio collecting dust are loaned by your broker/dealer and sold short by savy traders. This is what is responsible for the uptick in liquidity, not fed policy.


Short Sale Primer:

Lets suppose it's November, 2004 and copies of "Crossing the Rubicon" are selling for $20.00 per copy.

Suppose you hear a rumor that the author will suddenly retire from investigating/reporting everything he's alleged in the book and instead focus on pumping an agenda which mirrors that of Big Oil.

You realize that, on this news, the value of each book will drop like a brick. Lets suppose the value drops to $1.00.

In order to capitalize on this event, you promptly borrow 20 copies of "Rubicon", and dump them all on the open market for a total of $400.00 before news hits the streets.

The value of this book drops to $1.00, and you purchase another 20 copies for $20.00, returning the 20 copies to your dealer.(broker)

You now have a capital gain of $380.00. As your broker I advise you to purchase 19 copies of Webster Tarpley's "911: Synthetic Terror, Made in the USA".
