I think Tim's being a little excitable due to his inexperience in the markets. It's not as bad as he's making it out to be.
It looks like the DJIA crossed the UNCH line about a dozen times today and will probably close about flat. The big winners are Bitcoin, silver and gold, up 15%, 6.5% and 2.5%.
It's a little disturbing that Bidet's degenerate freakshow is backstopping $250,000+ accounts. That's not how the FDIC is supposed to work.

I was trying to figure that out hours before you posted that. And it was going very slowly because my computer was crawling. I couldn't even watch but a few minutes of this video; it just kept spitting, until just now. I finally got to the point where Tim says they are paying the big guys...again. Taxpayers BAILED OUT the too big to fail BANKS. Now the little people aka as "depositors" are BAILING IN it sounds like to save the big guys. That's what I'm gathering, anyway.
From a couple of comments I read yesterday...please someone, read, and tell me if this is what's happening...
(I originally started putting this together yesterday maybe around noon, to respond to one of Horse's posts):
Tweet at HenryMakow:
"MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch · Mar 11 Whoa! Here it is. The moment in 2018 when Donald Trump removed the Dodd-Frank regulations that would have prevented the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. Dont let anyone forget this."
"Greg Becker sold $3.6 million in company stock just days before the bank's collapse. "
====================================
[4um..."Biden:
"Americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe," he reiterated.
Biden made clear that investors in the failed banks will not be protected.
"They knowingly took a risk, and when the risk didnt pay off, investors lose their money," he said, adding that the people running the troubled banks should be fired. "
Some people just can't see the writing on the wall. Its been known for almost 2 years that banks are in big trouble due to greed not about depositors.
Like someone said "I trust my money being under the mattress more than laying in a bank"
The FDIC has only $1.xx for every hundred you have in a bank if it goes bust up to I believe $10.000 or so, more than that amount they have only .77 cents per hundred dollars to give back.
So, if you have $1.000.00 in the bank and it goes bust the FDIC will "cover your loss" to the tune of $10-20. SMDH"

as of 2010 the dodd frank act ,, the banks can take your money..
before,, your money was separate from the banks money.. not now.. because you are an un-secured investor ..nobody forced you to give your money to the bank.. you choose to do it .. you are an investor because they pay you interest .. you invested your money in the bank..
when the bank fails,, un-secured investors are at the back-o-the-line.. pennies on the dollar ,, if your lucky.."
from one of two MeidasTouch twitter feeds...
soooo, is this true? Is this "Depositor" vs. "Investor" vs. "taxpayer" (Biden or Janet Yellen or both said "taxpayers will not be bailing out the banks ...maybe here is where I read it: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/mar/12/silicon-valley-bank-collapse-no-bailout-janet-yellen )...double-speak on the part of Biden and Yellen? I have no idea, but it does seem they have been on a mission to crash the economy and have the banks collapse, to bring in their Great Reset, no?

Here's more:
Silicon Valley Bank has now collapsed, and 95% of deposits were uninsured [[??]]
Friday, March 10, 2023
[you might want to go back and read the whole article for what might be pertinent details for you people that understand this stuff...(I found this interesting, having read somewhere the little guy at the end of the line might be offered some stock in the failed bank instead of his money: "The share sale will come in three parts. The first, amounting to $1.25 billion, will be in the form of common stock and will be offered to investors.") and as I got to the bottom of this article I NOW see where there is a LINK to these BAIL-INS I was reading about...and in my pea-brain, without having gone yet to the link, it sounds like they have pulled a fast one.]
Silicon Valley Bank scrambling to reassure clients to keep money in bank
Despite the warnings from venture capital firms Silicon Valley Bank executives are trying to do everything they can to reassure their clients that the bank wont collapse.
Greg Becker, chief executive officer of SVB Financial Group, the banks parent company, held a conference call with clients on Thursday, March 9, advising them to stay calm amid concerns about the banks financial position.
The roughly 10-minute call with investors was held at about 11:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. Becker asked his banks clients to continue supporting the bank the way it had supported them over the past 40 years. He went on to reassure them that their money in the bank is safe.
My ask is just to stay calm, because thats whats important, said Becker. The last thing we need you to do is panic. [[says the guy who took his millions out of his bank right before it collapsed..."clients"/"investors"...who's who, I wonder.]] He did not provide the conference call attendees with any opportunity to ask questions.
Silicon Valley Bank is a crucial lender for early-stage businesses. The bank has become a partner for nearly half of all venture-backed technology and healthcare companies in the United States that are listed on stock markets in 2022.

Watch this episode of the Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, warns of the coming bank bail-ins that are intended to keep failing banks afloat.
I haven't watched it, and probably won't be able to.
====================
again...
Biden made clear that investors in the failed banks will not be protected.
"They knowingly took a risk, and when the risk didnt pay off, investors lose their money," he said,
If he's saying what I think he's saying, I'd say no, the little guy putting his money in the bank, getting a few cents per year interest, and losing thousands due to Biden inflation, didn't know he was an "investor" and not a "depositor", and thought his hard-earned money/retirement was safe and insured. I'd say no way-in-hell was there full disclosure, which makes it FRAUD of the highest order. Fraud vitiates all contracts. No wonder they recently outlawed lynching, and are going hard after the guns.
==============
One more thing. I looked up the Dodd-Frank Act looking for this bail-in thing the commenter in the twitter article was referring to. I couldn't get very far. I was getting bleary-eyed from reading all their gobbledy-gook. It brought to mind what Jesus said to the Pharisees, who control us to this day, "You make many laws grievous to be born, and don't lift [[do]] one with your little finger." All I saw was this:
(Sec. 335) Amends the FDIA and the Federal Credit Union Act (FCUA) to increase permanently the maximum federal deposit insurance and federal share insurance amount from $100,000 to $250,000. Makes such increase retroactive to January 1, 2008...
"Subtitle D: Other Matters - ...
(Sec. 342) Requires each agency to establish an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion responsible for all matters of the agency relating to diversity in management, employment, and business activities. Requires the Director of each such Office to develop and implement procedures for inclusion and utilization of minorities, women, and minority- and women-owned businesses in all business and activities at all federal agency levels, including procurement, insurance, and contracts.
(Sec. 343) Amends the FDIA and the FCUA to require that a depositor's ((??)) net amount maintained at an insured depository institution in a noninterest-bearing transaction account is fully insured. ..."
Is Sec. 343 where they made the switcheroo? What did the big guys ("clients"?) have I wonder. Non-interest bearing checking accounts? I wonder where all the definitions are.
What's that verse from the Talmud about it being permissible to "Use subterfuge with the goyim."

Dear Newsmax Reader:

Picture This, You Wake Tomorrow To Discover That Your Bank Emptied Your Checking and Retirement Accounts And Used The Money To Pay Its Debts
You Have No Legal Standing, No FDIC Coverage, And No Money In Your Account - It's Gone FOREVER!
Look My Friend, I write this to you with the utmost urgency. What I just described to you is the new law of the land and It was signed into law in 2010 under then President Barack Hussein Obama.
It's known under many different names:
The Dodd-Frank Act. - 4 - March 18, 2020
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
Public Law 111203
H.R. 4173
Bank Bail-In (Google this search phrase: DoddFrank BailIn) The law states that a U.S. bank may take its depositors funds (i.e. your checking, savings, CD's, IRA & 401(k) accounts) and use those funds when necessary to keep itself, the bank, afloat.
That means:
if your bank makes bad investments in derivatives
or makes bad loans to sub-prime borrowers
or manages the bank poorly and cant service its debt
or even worse the U.S. economy has another 2008 collapse
Instead of that bank going bankrupt and the banks assets sold off to be given back to its depositors...
Now the bank simply keeps your money and guess what? The bank is no longer bankrupt. Did you read that? The Bank Keeps Your Money. And here is the kicker,
YOUR ACCOUNT IS NOT FDIC INSURED WHEN THE BANK TAKES YOUR MONEY. NOT ONE SINGLE PENNY.
Its the law of the land and there is nothing you can do about it...]]
the FDIC lawyer goes on to warn:
"...In the event of a failure of an insured depository institution, regardless of its size or whether it is part of a larger enterprise, the FDIC would resolve the insured depository institution using authorities granted in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act)not the Dodd Frank Actand customers deposits would be fully insured up to the $250,000 limit.
As the primary Federal regulator charged with interpreting the FDI Act and insuring consumer deposits up to the relevant limits, we have a statutory and regulatory interest when representations are made regarding deposit insurance. In our view, your representations may violate various Federal and state laws. The FDI Act prohibits any person from knowingly misrepresent[ing] . . . the extent to which or the manner in which any deposit liability, obligation, certificate, or share is insured under this chapter, if such deposit liability, obligation, certificate, or share is not so insured, to the extent or in the manner represented. 12 U.S.C. § 1828(a)(4)(B)(ii). This FDI Act provision, along with 12 U.S.C. § 1828(a)(4)(E), gives FDIC the authority to take enforcement actions against any company violating this law, including but not limited to the authority to issue civil money penalties up to $10,245 per violation per day.
Federal criminal law prohibits falsely advertis[ing] or otherwise represent[ing] by any device whatsoever the extent to which or the manner in which the deposit liabilities of an insured bank or banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 18 U.S.C. § 709. In addition, Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, (15 U.S.C. § 45) prohibits unfair or deceptive advertisements, as does the California Deceptive Practices statute.
We expect your company to correct your advertisements and oral presentations. We also expect you to contact me with your response. You can reach me by email (to rischwartz@fdic.gov)...."
so who's right? Newsmax/MonetaryGold or FDIC/FDI/Richard Schwartz/et al? did it come to pass as warned? Maybe FDIC/FDI/Richard Schwartz/et al should be hoisted on their own petard. For starters.

"How Dodd-Frank Made It Legal for Banks to Confiscate Funds During a Banking Crisis
By GSI Exchange September 26, 2019Updated: August 22, 2022
Should another financial crisis befall us, rendering a number of too-big-to-fail banks insolvent, the good news is that taxpayers will no longer be forced to bail them out.
The bad news is that these large Wall Street banks can now legally bail themselves out internally (referred to as bail-ins) using depositor funds.
Thanks to Dodd-Frank, if you happen to hold your money in a savings or checking account at a bank, and that bank collapses, it can legally freeze and confiscate your funds for purposes of maintaining its solvency.
So instead of relying on government funds (taxpayer money) to save itself from going bankrupt, a bank can simply dip into your deposit accounts to stabilize itself.
To compensate you, the bank will exchange your money for its equivalent value in company shares.
In other words, if a bank fails, it takes your money and hands you an equivalent amount of shares in its failing operation. Ethical? No. Legal? Yes.
Lets look at it from a big-picture perspective: a bank takes on reckless risks, achieves near-bankruptcy, crashes the economy in the process (as what happened in 2008), and retains the privilege of seizing your money to save itself?
Wheres the accountability in all this? How is this even legally permissible?
Well, thanks to Dodd-Frank, banks can legally activate orderly liquidation authority, as stated in Title II of the act.
When you open a checking and savings account, the money you then deposit legally belongs to the bank.
So if you dont technically own your own money, then what do you own?
Simple. You own an IOU issued by the bank.
From the banks perspective, your money is an unsecured debt.
Sadly, Dodd-Frank has set the whole thing up so that derivativeshighly leveraged assetstake precedence over your deposit accounts when it comes to banks paying off their debts.
Counterparties to these derivatives get first dibs; customer deposits are secondary.
Sure, the FDIC may attempt to come to your rescue. The problem is that the FDICs total assets, which are in the billions, are dwarfed by the value of outstanding derivatives, which are in the trillions.
Although your deposits are protected up to the maximum insurance limit of $250,000, this promise is predicated on the FDIC having enough funds to cover each and every account holders deposit claims.
Take JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, as both have commingled derivatives with deposits.
Both have deposits totaling well over $1 trillion. And both hold outstanding derivatives whose total values exceed the entire global GDP.
What happens if they become insolvent? Such a disaster would trigger orderly liquidation authority protocols. In short, a bail-in.
Title II orderly liquidation authority essentially allows the banking system to freeze your funds and take 50 percent or more of it in order to save the banks balance sheets, similar to what happened in Cyprus during their financial crisis in 2012.
This means that any money you store in a bank becomes unsecured debt, making you an unsecured creditor who must then share the burden of bank losses should it face the prospect of insolvency.
And as an unsecured creditor, you have absolutely no legal recourse.
If youre lucky enough to hold your money in a bank that doesnt collapse in the event of a major financial crisis, then your banking institution will likely have to pay fees to help recoup the money spent in stabilizing the other banks that had failed.
But do you think that banks will simply absorb these costs? No, theyre more likely to pass them on to their customers.
Hence, a bailout once again. But this time its more circuitous and less evenly distributed.
Another unsettling fact is that the poor and middle class will likely be the most affected by OLAs negative impact.
How so? Most of the wealthy hold a large portion of their money in equities, debt securities, precious metals, and real estate.
Only the poor and middle class hold the majority of their money in checking and savings accounts. So theyre the most vulnerable.
And if you are keeping your money locked away in a safety deposit box in a bank, the banking institutions also have the right to confiscate and use those funds.
Retirees receiving pensions will also be affected, as pension funds are also subject to confiscation and conversion into bank equity.
This means that if youre retired, living off a pension, and holding most of your money in a checking or savings account, then you may find yourself in a truly desperate position should your bank find itself in financial dire straits..."

The Jews Behind SVBs Collapse
Take the money and run.
Simply sell off your stocks a month before a collapse.
Yids at Silicon Valley Bank did exactly that.
Jeffrey Leerink,
CEO of SVB Securities;
Michael Zuckert,
General Counsel of SVB;
Eric Benhamou
And Joel Friedman,
Directors of SVB,
did a fast-and-dash cash-in.
Their synagogue buddy, Joe Cramer, did a brash sales pitch in. [Clip]
[The 9th best performer year-to-date is SVB Financial. This company is a merchant bank with a deposit base that Wall Street had been mistakenly concerned about. SVB is the old Silicon Valley Bank, recently bought one of our favorite research firms Moffett-Nathanson and its become less dependent on private equity and venture capitalist offerings. Wait a second, those dried up last year, they could come back! Being a banker to these immense pools of capital has always been a very good business. Stocks still cheap. SVBs nearly 40% rally this year is barely a drop in the bucket.]
Pump and dump.
Shilling for Jew boyz at SVB so their stocks sell at prime price, is easy, sleazy bucks for Cramer the Wall Street hawker.
Likely paid off by his fellow Yids to be placed high on his trading pick-list.
Cramer makes $6 million a year.
A typical amount for Jewish fraudsters.
Now, not only did the shysters at SVB take the money and run
they paid themselves big bonus bucks just hours before the run.
Yes, yes, yes, YES,
even the Jews got jewed! [Clip]
[The effect is also being felt overseas. With Israeli prime minister Netanyahu saying the government will take steps to assist businesses that are impacted.]
SVBs Israel branchrun by David Cohen and Gadi Mosheserves 500 Israeli hi-tech companies.
The schmucks took their money out of Israeli banks this month and moved it to SVB!
Dont vorry, you dumb putzes.
The kike at US Treasury will get it, ahh kinda right. [Clip]
[We go now to Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen. Madame Secretary, good morning. Good morning, Martha!]
Why is Madame Kike smiling?
Cause she knows her tribe will pull kikish wool over the goyims eyes. [Clip]
[I want to get straight to it because the markets will soon be open for trading. Does the government need to intervene and take emergency measures because of SVBs failure? Well, let me say Americas economy will rise on a safe and sound banking system that can provide for the credit needs of our households and businesses.]
Lay down goys!
The Jewish scam keeps on raping.
The bitch knows her synagogue buddies at the FED will stabilize the collapse of SVB and other fallen banks by pouring in extra money printed out-of-thin-air.
Its the same old scam.
The scam causes hyperinflation since theres no productivity or tangible assets to back the printed out-of-thin-air money.
Its all stage effect to make the goys feel warm and fuzzy.
The runaway inflation, of course will be blamed on Russia, a new Covid hoax, global warming, supply chain crap, anything to distract the goys from blaming the real culprit the Jew.
So keep a limit in your bank account, add other bank accounts, so as to play the game a little longer.
Then buy gold and silver.
Gold is the Achilles Heel of the Jewish financial system. [Clip]
[Let me say that Ive been working all weekend with our banking regulators to design appropriate policies to address this situation.]
Nu? banking regulators?
Theyre Jews! [Clip]
[Your counterpart in the United Kingdom has said that the government there has ruled out a bailout of the UK arm of the Silicon Valley Bank. Have you also ruled out that kind of government intervention? Well, let me be clear that, uhm, during the financial crisis there were investors and owners of systemic large banks that were bailed out and were certainly not looking, and the reforms we have put in place means that we are not going to do that again.]
Vell oy vey!
SVB has only to change its name to
SUB
Silicon Ukraine Bank
and voila!
Oodles of cash will dash off from JewS Treasury to the SUB bank as fast as you can say Zelensky! [Clip]
[I know you know this region of the country so well because you served at the San Francisco FED years ago. The tech sector has already been suffering from layoffs, its already under pressure, and this is really the hub of American innovation. How severe will the consequences be for that innovation? I think it depends on how this situation is resolved.]
Bait and switch. [Clip]
[Would you be open to a foreign bank coming in as a White Knight to help stabilize the situation with Silicon Valley Bank? So, this is really a decision for the FDIC as it decides on what the best course is to resolve this firm and Im sure theyre considering a wide range of available options which would include acquisitions.]
Vell
Yellen passes the fiat buck.
To whom pray tell?
Those banking regulators!
Yids at the Federal Deposit Insurance CorporationFDICchaired by Martin Gruenberg!
Just another day, just another Jew, just another way for the goyim to get screwed.
Itll be used to get more control and bucks into Jewish hands.
Gruenbergs in cahoots with the Yids at the International Association of Deposit Insurers.
Its domiciled at the Bank of International Settlementsthe BISmanaged by the Rothschild boyz.
Gruenbergs sure to get the Israeli boyz deposits back real quick.
All he has to do is call on his bosom buddies at the BIS.
Rothschilds, Warburgs, Deutche Bank, Credit Suisse, Black Rocks Fink.
Theyll get Israels hi-techs gelt back lickety split.
But the goyim back home, I demur.
Only Wall Streets hairdresser, Joe Cramer, knows for sure.
My guess is that they will print and inflate the National Deficit to 50 trillion, buy up all the Worlds assets, bankrupt the US and go digital.
Then they will make the Goys happy with a 1000 digital check.

The Times of Isreael reports on the fast-and-dash cash-in.
Israels two largest banks, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim, set up a situation room that has been operating around the clock to help firms transfer their money from SVB before it was seized to accounts in Israel.
Over the past few days, teams at LeumiTech, the high-tech banking arm of Bank Leumi, have been able to help their Israeli clients transfer about $1 billion to Israel, the bank said.
The demonic juden are laughing their forked tails off. They relish in telling the dumb cow goyim what they are doing to them only to hear lacky evangelical preachers pump their glory and Gods people status.
Most of them, even the many of the small, rural churches currently stream their services over Facebook.
Just try telling them about Faceberg . You will walk away shaking the dust of your boots in New Testament fashion.

At first it looks like insider trading. On closer inspection, one might see RICO violations with those cashing out from SVB. Were the United States to expel its Yids, Jewkraine would be the largest and likeliest piece of real estate to accomodate them. Maybe thats the plan?
When Yellen says, America relies on a safe and sane banking system that can provide for the credit needs of our households and businesses, (2:45) it comes to mind WHEN are we ever going to have a safe and sane banking system?
Was it Henry Ford who said to the effect that If Americans understood the banking system in this country, there would be torches and pitchforks in the streets overnight?
Dont leave out the possibility of Treasury Department appointees being part of this massive scam with SVB. If the Yellens ever take off for vacation in Isra-hell while the banking system burns, they might have some explaining to do.
Were the United States to expel its Yids, Jewkraine would be the largest and likeliest piece of real estate to accomodate them. Maybe thats the plan?
I doubt that very much. The women over there are trying to flee since most of the men are being killed in the war. ;)
Because I'm not there, I don't know what's going on in Ukraine. Some people there report nothing's happening there. Then you see horrible videos. I don't know but IMAGINE terrible things are going on in at least some parts of Ukraine. I think there were a lot of Christians in Ukraine. I am worried they are being massacred. I watched one video a few nights ago (very interesting: We've Been Lubavitched stateofthenation.co/?p=158166 ) where it was stated 15,000 Christians had been murdered in Donbass. That's just one city. Putin and Zelensky are both Jews. Putin is former KGB and a fake Christian of the Russian Orthodox Church, and...
Texe Marrs posted in 2014 that there was a secret plan to set up a "New Israel" in Ukraine, the homeland of the Khazar Jews.
"...A blue-ribbon committee of scientists reviewed the DNA and other evidence and told the Israeli government that, indeed, the Jews are of the Khazarian bloodline. Prime Minister Netanyahu has secretly decided to settle Jews in Ukraine, and infuse that country with military and intelligence officials. In essence, the Jews will make Ukraine, centerpiece of ancient Khazaria, a second homeland for the Jews..."
Ecumenical Alliance Seeks to Declare Kiev as New Jerusalem
"Last week we told you about Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskys odd comment that his country would become Big Israel. We continued researching the topic and found a lot of fascinating information to share with you about a movement to declare Kiev the New Jerusalem. If the main proponent of the scheme was not a billionaire, we would not pay much attention to it. The deeper we dug, the more we found."

wait a minute, HOW long have those biolabs been in Ukraine?
aaaand i just saw this when i went to get the 'new jerusalem' link:
Shekel Shuffle: Janet Yellen's SVB Bailout was for Israeli Tech Firms
Silicon Valley Banks collapse last Friday created a panic among many Israeli technology companies that had money deposited at SVB. In addition, many Israeli tech startups relied on SVB for funding. Two Israeli banks helped transfer a billion dollars from SVB to Israel hours before the crash. Even more astounding is that billions of more dollars were deposited by Israeli tech companies in SVB and benefited from the US governments emergency bailout announced last Sunday.
On todays edition of TruNews, Well cover the facts about the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellens bailout of Israeli corporations, plus explosive new developments in the House investigation of the Biden crime syndicate.
When Biden was VPOTUS, Ukraine's Prosecuror intended to indict Hunter Biden for fraud.
Ukraine was in line to receive several billions of dollars.
Biden told the President of Ukraine, "If you don't fire the Prosecutor, you will not get the money." ;)
I remember being shocked when I heard him saying that. Thanks for reminding me. I guess that's a key point that has kind of slipped my mind. Either getting senile, or too many diversions.
