Big bubbles, no troubles:
An independent carbon bank, similar to the Reserve Bank, should be set up to oversee a carbon price and investment in clean technology, the peak renewable energy lobby says.
The Clean Energy Council will today release a discussion paper proposing the carbon bank, which it says could be allowed to borrow money to invest in renewable energy projects against the future revenue of Labor’s proposed carbon tax and emissions trading scheme.
Hmmmmm.
An “independent” carbon bank.
Trading in … what you breathe out.
Borrowing … and “investing” … against the future government tax revenue.
In other words, the government … meaning taxpayers … the guarantor for any losses on those “investments”.
In a bankster-designed, multi-trillion dollar, global air-trading derivatives market:
What could possibly go wrong?
National Australia Bank Ltd, Westpac Banking Corp Ltd and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) were all recipients of emergency funds from the US Federal Reserve during the global financial crisis, according to media reports.
Data released by the Fed shows the RBA borrowed $US53 billion in 10 separate transactions during the financial crisis…
The “independent” Reserve Bank is a great model to follow then.
Its track record certainly inspires con-fidence:
Why do we tolerate an “independent” Reserve Bank, whose first legal duty is to maintain a “stable” currency, when it is so clear that they have always utterly failed to do so.
And derivatives, well, they’re safe-as-houses too.
After all, the mortgage-backed derivatives market that blew up America is only a tiddling little market.
So there’s clearly no cause for concern about yet another bankster-driven scheme, to blow up a global, air-backed derivatives bubble:
To give an idea of the vast disconnect between our banks’ “Assets” (66% of which are loans), and their exposure to OTC derivatives, the following chart shows their total Assets – blue line – versus a red line of total Off-Balance Sheet “business” (click to enlarge):
$2.66 Trillion in "Assets" versus $15 Trillion in Off-Balance Sheet "Business"
They say that the main gimmick used to promote Hubba Bubba is that it is less sticky than other brands of bubble gum, and so burst bubbles are easier to peel from your skin.
No worries then.
Sure, we are going to get squeezed dry.
But there’ll be no needing to go shave our heads or rend our clothes when the biggest bubble ever goes POP!
I wonder which flavour we will get.
Raspberry?
Watermelon?
Squeeze Pop?
Or, will it be another new flavour …
Carbon Tax.
“Independent” Carbon Bank.
Behave … debt slave.
Ka-Ching!
