You have posted an advertisement for a book malct….I’m not commenting on a friggin book ad.
Is that a HPC first ?
malct says:
Nooneo – understand your concern but that’s not what was intended.
I saw and heard Cooper being interviewed live on BBC news – what he said is in my description box above – that is NEWS.
At the time the BBC didn’t have a news item covering this – as far as I can see they still haven’t.
The issue of whether banks have one or the other problem iscritical to understanding what is really happening to our money.
I felt that using the info on the book info page was justified and helped to explain his involvement and position
Incidentally his book is “The Origin of Financial Crises ” – he blamed the FED and the Bank of England openly, seems to have a strong relevance this week and I’m not on commission. In fact until he popped up on tele I had no idea he existed.
btw you just did and I doubt it very much. lol

mayor of new york on TV interview has just told the world the banks aren’t insolvent, they have a liquidity crisis.
don’t know if he has written a book and I’m not going to look
malct says:
BBC news just interviewed a bloke called Nick (0.5% cut isin’t enough) Leeson
wonder if he has written a book
malct says:
Sky News just interviewed and optimistic businessman (construction) who’s making a load out of social housing, he called for a 1% cut in interest rates today.
They didn’t say whether or not he had written a book
malct says:
Sky jus interviewed George Osborne
he’s right behind the chancellor and the PM
“We can’t afford to let the banks fail” that’s what the man said
he should write a book
here’s the title “Wealth Extraction 2008”

I’m writing a book……
“Brother can you spare a dime….”
The art of begging in an insolvent world
icarus says:
malct – this guy thinks that central banks are merely misguided. I thought you thought that they were a tool of financial elites.
malct says:
icarus – very true
I was ‘reporting’ what he said
not ‘supporting’ what he said
It was refreshing to hear the fed and boe being blamed and the banks being described as insolvent on msm
Like I said I’ve never heard of the bloke.
