For all intents and purposes the second can be ignored, because ashas been made clear over the past few days, and as will bedemonstrated below, the actual rollover from non-Peripheral bankswill be de minimis, the bulk of impaired debt being held by banks inthe host countries as is, and used as collateral with the ECB in theform of par instruments for cash.
Now the second part of the mechanism was never an issue furtherdemonstrated by the plunge in net notional in Greek CDS as corebanks no longer needed to hedge exposure and instead opted todivest their holdings. This is merely a red herring that attempts toconfuse the issues associated with the first, and far more importantconcept: the nuances of the EFSF and its imminent expansion. Andexpand it will have to, because in reality what is happening is thatthe net debt of the countries will end up growing even more overtime for one simple reason: this is not a restructuring of existingdebt from the perspective of the host country! Simply said Greekdebt will continue growing as a percentage of its GDP, meaning it,and Ireland, and Portugal, and soon thereafter Italy and Spain willbe forced to borrow exclusively from the EFSF. Therein lies the rub.In a just released report by Bernstein, which has actually done themath on the required contributions to the EFSF by the corecountries, the bottom line is that for an enlarged EFSF (which iswhat its blank check expansion today provided) to be effective, itwill need to cover Italy and Belgium. As AB says, "its firepowerwould have to rise to €1.45trn backed by a total of €1.7trnguarantees." And here is where the whole premise breaks down, ifnot from a financial standpoint, then certainly from a political one:"As the guarantees of the periphery including Italy areworthless, the Guarantee Germany would have to providerises to €790bn or 32% of GDP." That's right: by not monetizingEuropean debt on its books, the ECB has effectively left Germanyholding the bag to the entire European bailout via the blank checkSPV. The cost if things go wrong: a third of the country economicoutput, and the worst case scenario: a depression the likes of whichGermany has not seen since the 1920-30s. Oh, and if France getsdowngraded, Germany's pro rata share of funding the EFSF

jumps to a mindboggling €1.385 trillion, or 56% of GermanGDP!
The Europarliament, ECB and IMF may have won their Pyrrhicvictory today... But what happens tomorrow when every German (ina population of 82 very efficient million) wakes up to newspaperheadlines screaming that their country is now on the hook to 32%of its GDP in order to keep insolvent Greece, with its 50-some yearold retirement age, not to mention Ireland, Portugal, and soon Italyand Spain, as part of the Eurozone? What happens when thesesame 82 million realize that they are on the hook to sacrificinghundreds of years of welfare state entitlements (recall that Otto vonBismark was the original welfare state progentior) just so a fewperipheral national can continue to lie about their deficits (the 6month Greek deficit already is missing Its full year benchmark targetby about 20%) and enjoy generous socialist benefits up to anincluding guaranteed pensions? What happens when an alreadymortally wounded in the polls Angela Merkel finds herself in the nextgeneral election and experiences an epic electoral loss? We will findout very, very shortly.
Here is Bernstein with the full breakdown:
Continuation of the current strategy with a materially enlargedEFSF and private sector participation in liquidity support
Despite the failure of the current strategy, there is still a theoreticaloption of an extension of the current liquidity support with amaterially enlarged EFSF that would also be buying governmentbonds in the secondary market. We believe this is the least likelyoption given the size of the fund required to achieve the objective.
An extension of the EFSF to cover Italy and Spain wouldrequire a €790bn (32% of GDP) guarantee from Germany
This strategy is not only unlikely to succeed but would also run intosome serious structural difficulties. To cover 100% of the roll-overfor Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Belgium as well as anallowance for bank support at 7% of the banks' balance sheets untilthe end of 2013, the support mechanism(s), would need to be ableto deploy a total of €2.4trn in available funds.
Assuming the Greek Loan facility and the EFSM remain in place, theEFSF would have to increase its deployable funds from currentlyabout ~€270bn to €1,450bn.
Given the 20% overcollateralization requirement on the currentEFSF structure and the fact that countries that receive EFSF supportare not able to provide valid guarantees mean that in order tocreate a €1.45trn funding capacity, the total fund would have to be€1.7trn. The guarantees to be provided by Germany wouldhave to be €791bn or 32% of GDP.
The Fatal Flaw In Europe's Second "Bazooka" Bailout: 82 Million Soon To Be Very Angry Germans, Or How Euro Bailout #2 Could Cost Up To 56% Of German GDP | zero hedge
There is a legitimate question whether in particular Germanywould see the point of committing that kind of support to aconcept that has so far been extremely unsuccessful. It alsowould expose Germany to a worst case scenario of a Frenchdowngrade. Without France, the guarantee need would rapidlymove towards the whole of the €1.7trn. As the market is gettingincreasingly concerned about France, the odds are heavily stackedagainst an extension of the EFSF as a pure liquidity supportmechanism.
If Banks were to participate in a liquidity expansion theircontribution would be minimal
Within the current strategy one of the open questions is whether ornot the private sector can participate by providing liquidity to theperiphery countries. We believe this to be a fundamentally marginaldiscussion despite its enormous political importance.
Based on the stress test data released on Friday, we find thatwhilst the banks account for the majority of the very shortterm paper, their total share of the funding requirement into2013 is just 23% and 16% of the total EFSF.
The question is how big the private sector participation could be.Taking the "French proposal" as a guide, the private sectorparticipation would reduce the size of the EFSF by €137bn or 9% ofthe €1.45bn EFSF funding, assuming 70% of the debt is rolled over,30% collateralization and 75% of banks participate.
The Fatal Flaw In Europe's Second "Bazooka" Bailout: 82 Million Soon To Be Very Angry Germans, Or How Euro Bailout #2 Could Cost Up To 56% Of German GDP | zero hedge
The problem with this private sector participation so far has beenthe risk that this may be regarded as a default by the ratingagencies. As a consequence the banks would have to write downthese exposures to market prices. This exercise would lead toreported write-downs for the European banking sector of €75bn,0.55 times more than the liquidity support that the EU is seeking.And in particular in Portugal and Greece the fallout of the MTMlosses far outstrips the increase in liquidity.
Even more importantly, more than half of these losses wouldoccur in the banks of the periphery countries themselves. Inthe absence of an open market for these banks, the losseswould have to be made up by the governments themselvesand subsequently added back to the EFSF utilization.
And there you have it: the cost of the euro not plunging today as aresult of the ECB not proceeding with outright monetization, is thatGermany is now the ultimate backstopper of all of Europe's risk. Andwhile before, when the EFSF was just over €400 billion or so, themarket could largely ignore the risk, a €1.5 trillion "upgrade"certainly changes the equilibria dynamics. In an attempt to avoidthe appearance of inviting inflationary pressures on Trichet's centralbank, Germany has directly onboarded the risk associated withterminal failure of this latest and riskiest "bailout" plan and in doingso may have jeopardized anywhere between 32% and 56% ofits entire annual economic output. One wonders if the risk ofrunaway inflation is worth offsetting the risk of a plunge into theworst depression in the nation's history? It sure isn't for the Fed.
The most ironic outcome would be if the eurozone, in an attempt toprevent further contagion at the periphery, simply invited thevigilantes to bypass Italy (recall how everyone was shocked thatinstead of attacking Spain, it was Italian spreads that got destroyedin a manner of days), and head straight for the country on whoseshoulders lies the fate of the entire EUR experiment?
Is Atlas about to shrug and topple the entire oh so heavy house ofcards?

Sarkozy & Bernlusconi & Merkel had asummit today, and they talked, andtheir words were delicious and soothing,filling the air with hope & cheer, andthey said there will be no defaults of anyEuro Member, the EUR will besupported, and they will magically makeall the debt crises and vexing mathproblems go away immediately.
So, it's fixed.
They fixed it. They fixed all theproblems.
Growth can resume now, and debt is nolonger an issue, nor is the tensionbetween those in stronger EU MemberStates and weaker ones, nor is thestrength/weakness of the EUR given thattrillions of fresh EUR will be printed anddistributed if these dear leaders are tobe taken at their word.
They're very competent.

The fatal flaw is, no one is ever againgoing to buy Credit Default Swapsbecause they know they will never payoff because of government and centralbanking cartel shit.
That also makes the holders of thoseCDO's very angry since their CDOholdings are now worthless.
I hope they didn't get some billionaireCDO holders angry by doing this. Theymay put a hit squad out on the peoplewho did this like they did to Scarface.

Michael, I thought CDS are onemore trading instrument, well- OTCtrading, but still trading... Long CDSpositions are profitable when thesovereign debt crisis soap heats up,and short CDS positions areprofitable when it cools down, asrecently. When TPTB are positionedlong, they give governments andmedia the order: Drama, drama,please! Then, when they gotenough, they take short CDSpositions and order: Conference andagreement, please!
I thought nobody is ever seriouslyconsidering the 'Credit Default'event, such a hypotetical event isjust a pretext to justify this kind ofponzi derivative.
Am I so wrong?

Along with going "full fiat," Nixon visitedChina somewhere around that time withwhat appeared at the time to be full 180degree in stance towards the communistcountry.
Not trying to imply anything. Just puttingtwo "dots" on the board for the fun it. If weare going to talk about WWIII alreadyhaving been waged (on-going) via pen anddigital 1's and 0's, I don't think the cold warmentality is off the table.

You are right that it is World War IV but I thinkfor the wrong reasons. One of the insiders thatI always enjoyed listening to was former CIADirector James Woolsey. He is not a douche likethat Leon Panetta that just got thrust into theposition. He has always stated that the ColdWar was World War III. I agree with him onthat. Just add up the American casualties andcosts in treasure that went into that debacle.
The sad part is if you believe the Cold War wasWorld War III you still have to think the nextone will be worse. This is going to result fromsuch huge economic imbalances that it bogglesthe mind what the casualty figures can be in thisone. The "emerging market" countries shouldbe the ones fearing what is coming the most. They are always the biggest losers in proxy warsand major conflicts. This time will be nodifferent.

This is only slightly off-topic and more than partlyfacaetious, but I think part of the fascination with theNazis stems from the fact that their uniforms were (gayinflection) "fabulous". The all black with the little skull onthe hat, and the cool iron cross medals. Hitler shouldhave given up painting and gone into fashion design. Hewould have been a smashing success and WWII averted.

Hugo Boss designed all nazi uniforms.

normally barbarism and order are contradictions...the Nazis blended both together. Their barbaric,cruel nature expressed itself by order and a somepeak-of-civilization-appeal. Germans have alwaysbeen obsessed by order and therefore even the mostbarbaric terror regime had maximum system andorder.
The uniforms themselves are nothing particular. Youhave that impression because the uniforms areassociated with what the Nazis were about. And thisis sublime, and sublime = fascinating.

My late wife's grandfather(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._Pollard)was commissioned by the military to investigateGermany's light water facilities after the liberation ofmost of the concentration camps.
He took many, many pictures. I have them.
In one, at Auschwitz Birkenau (he got some sort oftour), you can clearly see the ovens still sitting REDHOT.
Dude even became a priest after Oak Ridge. Readthe wiki.

They were in work camps. Between 350-500k died of starvation, disease and murderby Nazis. The Red Cross was able to visitand document. Of course, they are alsoaccuse of being an anti Semitic organization.
I guess if you don't swallow the holohoaxreligion hook line and sinker, you are somekind of hater. 100 million people died in thepast century due to fucking wars and all wewrite or talk about is a quarter million Jews(turned 6 million).. What does that tell you?

#1479868It's pretty hard to put numbers onall of this. Stalling killing 30 million,Tens of millions killed in Asia. I amanti war and anti killing. I view itALL as a tragedy.
Regardless of how many Jews diedin Europe it was TOO MANY !! I domorn the suffering of the EuropeanJews but I do NOT use it to endorsethe state of Israel! Period!
This is the problem I have with the6 million. It's an eye catcher, a"religion" that gives Zionistsundeserved sympathy wherebyallowing them to commit crimesagainst Arabs.
Read/Watch Norman Finklestein onthe holocaust industry. Of courseJews went to camps. It was horribleand should never be forgotten, but,it (Jews suffering) should not beamplified as to be "set above" thesuffering of all others in this world.When I see that, it raises a red flagand makes me wonder who isactually in control ofmedia/information/politics.

6 million exceeds # of Jews in Axis Europe by +1million. Actual death camp railroad lading bills,plus populations of Jew ghettos drained into oneor another death camp = 2.5 million. Another 1.1million Jews killed off 1941-43 during pre-emptiveand actual anti-partisan operations east of theJune 22 1941 German-Russian demarcation line.So: 3.6 million. That's about it, less all the lieingby both Zionists and Deniers. By the way, thisis about half the number of people done to deathduring the 1942-44 eastern India scorched earthTerror Famine in Assam/Bengal provinces(bordering on Burma) engineered by Zionist stoogeWinston Churchill. Heard muchabout THAT "holocaust" lately? Thought not....theVictors write the history books.

The USSR fought the Germans just as much as the Alliesdid.
In fact, about half of all lives lost in that entire war werelost by Russia.
Without Russia on the Eastern front, the Allies would nothave won from the Germans.
It was a very, very close victory for the Allies +Russians. Germany was working hard on truly amazingtechnologies and without a few miscalculations on theirside, they would have run over Russia and the Allies inW. Europe.
Just go dig into the German atomic bomb project, howthey already had flown to the skyline of Manhattan forreconnaissance, how they were way ahead in the field ofelectronics by the end of the war, how they wereenriching U235, how U235 + infrared-fuses + Japanesemen were discovered and captured on a Germansubmarine.. and suddenly the U.S. has enough enrichedU235 to drop a weapon on Japan..

The men thathold the bonds right now know that they have no risk ofpaying for their sins. Bonds are risk free, don't you know? It can all be passed to the lower species.

The article seems to imply that Germany would be willing to payout some obscene amount of its GDP to subsidize the continuedprofligacy of the southern European States, which seems unlikelyto put it mildly. Failure to explicitly endorse the monetizationissue is also problematic, but from more than the traditionalcan-kicking perspective. The entire Euro-zone is now moredependant on Germany than it was before to prevent collapse,and the French are more irrelevant than ever before. Whathappens if they replace Frau Ferkel with Little Adolf? Germany is in a position to demand outright monetization andthe installation of a Bundesbank Bernanke at the ECB at thethreat of leaving the Euro-zone and leaving the rest of Europewith an even bigger burning bag of shit on their door step. Bymonetizing the Euro Germany gets what it needs to supportdomestic exports through a weak Euro. WW3 would be overwithout a shot fired and Germany conquers Brussels (again), soonto WW4 (the "anything but" axis Berlin-Moscow-Beijing vs.Washington and the $ aligned States). By postponing theinevitable resolution of the monetiztion question the other Euro-zone States would appear to be placing themselves at the mercyof the German political establishment, which works fine with aMiss Piggy figurehead running the show, but that paradigm mightnot be maintained if a more results-oriented establishmentcomes to power.

Actually I am presuming that (outside the offascist/socialist single fiscal policy ambitions ofthe aspiring dictators in Brussels) the mindless can-kicking opens the door something even more nefariousas an unintended consequence of the current illconceived actions. China is propping up the Eurozoneout of financial self-interest, Russia has been working itsway into the multilateral EU institutions, meanwhile theEU has been increasing its dependency on Russianenergy, despite the convenient reminder of theoccasional drops in pipeline pressure whenever there is aparticularly cold winter in Europe. Both Russia and Chinahave an issue with USD hegemony. So what happenswhen the bill for the current round of can-kicking comesdue if Russia and/or China make an offer that can't beeasily refused to the next German government ? Orabsent the Russians and Chinese getting involved, whatoptions does the next German government have otherthan outright monetization of EUR (and extractingconcessions from Brussels and the other Eurozonecountries in exchange for something which ironicallysupports German manufacturers and bankers) orleaving and destroying the Eurozone?

Sold Euro just in time ? A depression means the currency (Euro) willrise sharply.
Anything the ECB et al does is just to buy time and wait for the USto implode. So far they are doing a good job. The Euro is up, there issome austarity coming down the pike and they are raising interestrates.
Contrast that with the US....

Chinese are doing a great job in duplicating entire cities likeFlorence, Hallstatt, Dorchester and others. China knows europeis days away from warpocalypse and few/no cities will remainstanding when it's over.

The USSR's vaunted military was not much more ofa POS that the USSA's vaunted military.
The administrations in Washington have went fromnot wanting to waste million dollar cruise missiles ona few goat-fuckers in tents, to wasting trillions ofborrowed dollars and thousands of lives on afew goat-fuckers in tents. In a decade, Washingtonhas been no more successful in pacifyingAfghanistan than Moscow was during its decade-long-infatuation with the country.
Furthermore, in eight years the USSA has failedto increase Iraq's oil production and exports to theglobal market to anything above the levels achievedduring the Oil-for-Food racket or above pre-embargo/sanctions, pre-Iran-Iraq levels, and inexchange for the vast wealth expended in thatpursuit, the US has secured a relatively small pieceof the Iraqi oil concession pie for US oil firms. Meanwhile the Russians are doing quite nicely inIran, despite any bad memories of the USSR'sannexation of Iranian oil fields in the late 40's.

Idiot politicians again. Forcing a prosperous market to gounderground as a whole and push the revenues in the handsof organised crime.Really, deplorable unfounded and irretrievable descisions likethis make you want to go into politics and destroy theseassclowns that are wrecking our free world.

Of course, the whole "war on drugs" is keeping acriminal circuit very liquid. Just recently psylocybin(magic mushrooms) was made illegal, guess wherethat trade moved to. Exactly the same as happenedin the case of MDMA production (XTC) in the earlynineties. Pushing it into obscurity only creates higherprofit, and with that, involvement of professionalorganised crime groups. Oversight over a marketand protecting potential victims then becomesimpossible.
And now, the next step: Criminalising users willmake it worse though: The issue is about individualrights, and control of the State (and now Europe)over what individuals are supposed to do, regardlessof any scientific findings (that show criminalising isonly creating more problems). And much moreimportant than some tourist revenues, or the"image" of Amsterdam.
It's another example how, in the push for control,the politicians are willing to wreck society. Thepurpose is conditioning the civillians they're criminalsif they engage in these things, and that they acceptthey'll lose their citizen's rights, for something thatcan not be regarded as a crime, under principles ofdutch law. All of this, regardless of public opinion(polls clearly show a strong majority think thecoffeeshops should remain). So they're now nibblingat the edges. The whole thing is a travesty. The"role model" is a failed policy in the USA, andincreasingly France, who dictate policy here moreand more.

it's a shame really, last time i was there, thetown of Eindhoven was considering growing theirown to supply the coffee shops. seemed like asensible move in the right direction, consideringthe mad greenthumbs the Dutch are.
Holland is a strange country to me. seemedlike an schizophrenic clash between toleranceand fascism. doesn't make for a good mix.
then again, new amsterdam's no better.

Will the Germans complain or protest? I don't know if that is theirM.O. I haven't been to Germany but I've been to Austria. Iremember there was a red light with no car, motorcycle or donkeycart within miles. My wife and I crossed the street and didn't give ita second thought. The Austrian girl (about 19) didn't step a foot offof that curb. I was probably on my second Duvel when she was stillwaiting at that light. Poor kid.

Amazing how much power these people(pigmen/IMFsters/Eurosoviets/etc) wield to be able to make Merkel theirbitch. It's clear that Merkel doesn't want to do this, her people don'twant it, the German constitution says she can't etc ... but still she doesit. The notion that the rule of law or voters control any aspect of theworld anymore is simply laughable.

So a plunging euro is 'fatal' to europe? Not likely.
FOFOA: If the euro weakens on the global currency stage Europe willstart running an overall trade surplus again, like China, which will softenthe blow of a contracting internal economy. If the euro strengthens,things like cheaper oil will help soften the contraction. Internally thepoliticians have their hands full. No doubt! Externally, the euro is justfine. To the euro, just like FOA said, the politics of the PIIGS andGermany are little more than a sideshow.
And notice I didn't even mention gold yet. Anything that would appear toseriously threatens the euro, like an outright sov. debt default, wouldexplode the price of gold which would simultaneously rescue the eurobalance sheet and kill the dollar.

EUR won't plunge. China is in their buying everyday. As for oilplunging $118 brent, could contract 20% and bring it back to levelsnot seen for 6 months.
What is fatal to the EUR is the citizens of Europe waking up andrealizing that they are all being enslaved so the French and Germanbanks get to avoid the consequences of their bad behavior.
Ten years from now we will look back at this period as the last timewe could have our changed course. Today the elites decided to putus on a collision course with fate. That fate will be sealed when weget some non material deficit deal out of the US at some point in thenext week.

When? Can you point to an election where either candidatewould have changed course? We have been on this course agood damn long time and pat the point of no return in the US inthe 60s. Funny how the Europeans also got blindsided into thissystem. Celebrated 50 years of the EU a couple years back, oddhow little known treaties signed by politicians on the take willbite one's children and grand children in the ass. Or maybe theChinese have a chance in their open and free society.
None of have a choice, some of us have the illusion of choice. Ifthat choice is different then what the big boys want then thatchoice is ignored. Try to press your choice over theirs and onesoon realizes why they own the police and military.
