Nov 2008: Deutsche Bank AG received $66 billion in ‘secret liquidity’ funding from Fed. In retrospect – a total waste.

A look back…

Deutsche Bank, AG, along with numerous foreign banking interests with U.S. subsidiaries, enjoyed massive liquidity infusions, courtesy of the U.S. Federal Reserve, to help them deal with their faltering financial conditions and mounting debt burdens during the great financial crisis 2007-2010.

Excerpts from:  Bloomberg  Nov 28, 2011:    

Deutsche Bank AG, Germany’s biggest bank, navigated the financial crisis without capital injections from the German government. The Frankfurt-based bank, which in 2008 reported its first annual loss since World War II, wasn’t so shy about getting liquidity in secret from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The lender tapped the Fed for $66 billion on Nov. 6, 2008 — $28.2 billion from the Term Securities Lending Facility, $21.8 billion from single-tranche open market operations and $16 billion from the Term Auction Facility. John Gallagher, a Deutsche Bank spokesman, declined to say whether the bank took emergency loans during the crisis from other central banks, such as Germany’s Bundesbank.”

During the two years leading into Deutsche Bank’s financial windfall from the U.S. Fed, it was also engaged in the “Sale of toxic securities leading up to the financial crisis” and a Libor Interest Rate Scam” which defrauded U.S. tax-paying citizens via excessive interest charges on municipal loans.

“Deutsche Bank was one of a series of lenders guilty of selling and pooling toxic financial products in the lead-up to the 2007 and 2008 financial crisis.”

The bank signed a $7.2 billion settlement with the US Department of Justice in 2017, after being accused of having sold investors bad mortgage-backed securities between 2005 and 2007…”

Deutsche Bank’s charges involved “espionage, money laundering and interest rate scams,” including:

1. Laundering Russian money – In 2017, Deutsche Bank was fined a total of $630 million (€553.5 million) by US and UK financial authorities over accusations of having laundered money out of Russia.

2. Libor interest rate scam – Deutsche Bank had already been fined a record $2.5 billion dollars bv US and British authorities for its role in an interest scam between 2003 and 2007.

The bank’s London subsidiary pleaded guilty to counts of criminal wire fraud, after it was accused of fixing interest rates like the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor), used to price a hefty amount of loans and contracts across the world. 

3. “Violating U.S. economic sanctions” involving countries like Iran, Libya, Sudan

Meanwhile, during the great financial crisis, a Bureau of Labor statistics report showed that between 2008 and 2010, the U.S. economy suffered the worst employment crisis since the Great Depression, losing roughly 8.4 to 8.6 million jobs. Job losses accelerated rapidly in late 2008, peaking with an average of 700,000+ monthly losses from October 2008 to March 2009. Unemployment peaked at 10% in October 2009, with employment not hitting its lowest point until February 2010.

Subprime mortgage lending exploded during 2004-2006, creating the infamous housing market bubble, precipitating the housing market crash, followed by millions of Americans losing their jobs during the fallout… and then losing their homes as millions of foreclosures swamped the housing market.

If the U.S. Federal Reserve can transfuse the likes of Deutsche Bank with $66 billion in ‘secret liquidity funding’…

Then U.S. citizens deserve nothing less than to be granted that same direct access to liquidity to deal with their own “mounting debt burdens.”

The Leviticus 25 Plan generates $37.303 billion federal budget surpluses annually during its first five years of activation (2027-2031) – and pays for itself entirely over the succeeding 10-15 year period.

The Leviticus 25 Plan is a dynamic economic initiative providing direct liquidity benefits for American families, while at the same time scaling back the role of government in managing and controlling the affairs of citizens.  It is a comprehensive plan with long-term economic and social benefits for citizens and government.

The inspiration for this plan is based upon Biblical principles set forth in the Book of Leviticus, principles tendering direct economic liberties to the people.
