The banks have always been insolvent.

But now, the curtains are being pulled back from the brick wall at the back of the “theater of pain

This is true, but believe it or not from what I have seen with my time at Sinopec the Chinese are even more insolvent. The only way the globalists – i.e., international banking nexus – can save the CCP is to crash the US dollar first.

China pushes it’s version of Federal Debt down onto the numerous state-owned companies and this works down through the provinces all the way down to the cities. Thus there is “never” any debt problem at a national level until the state-owned banking sector wobbles. Plus they have the magic of Chinese accounting that doesn’t depreciate fixed assets, doesn’t discount cash flows for investment return analysis, and just makes Yuan denominated debt disappear as part of state policy.

E.g. the Sinopec division Sinopec International which deals outside of China and thus in the US dollar world had accumulated more than USD $700 billion in debt. This was a 4,100 person subsidiary of a 1,200,000 million person company so imagine how much debt the parent organization is holding. This is the case as far as I can tell with every state owned Chinese company, from the national level down to the city level which they can deal with through magic accounting inside their own borders with debt held in their own currency.

China does not have the problem of the “West”. Whatever the counterparty in Chinese finance, every thing that is in China will remain in China.

They have been insolvent since they were allowed to do fractional reserves. One could argue they had a great potential to be insolvent when they loaned “your money, i.e. deposits” to other individuals with little or no collateral. That would be called gambling with your money. Another way to look at this is this makes Bernie Madoff look like a choir child, that is investment firms, which includes banks. Last but not least, if this leads to a world war, then remember, all wars are bankers/industrialist wars. The bankers/industrialists make money on both sides of the street with that one.

In the end it is the little guy for the most part that winds up being castrated.

Banks are no longer intermediaries between private parties.

Pay close attention. The assets that they have unrealized loses on are GOVERNMENT BONDS.

It’s fine and Tandy to pay % interest out and make 2% on government bonds . But when people shift to money markets , banks need to compete.

But I digress. The most important point is the government benefited by financial repression because banks could buy their bonds at a paltry interest rate and pay their depositors zero.

Now the banks have to go out and find real investment opportunities in the private sector. Given the level of confidence in the economy , that’s seems non existent.

My next store neighbor and his wife, in their nineties, died recently. Today 2 grandkids were over there with a gieger counter and shovels. It looked like they came up empty handed.

You probably mean a metal detector? Or were your neighbors dealing in Uranium with Hillary Clinton?

It’s how my children spend a day at the beach. They have found many bottle caps that way!
