May 16, 2013 - Construction work, as part of the 2013 Street Improvement Program, will begin shortly. Knelsen Rock Products Ltd. was awarded the 2013 contract, which includes paving of the Pat Hardy School and RCMP park-ing lots; trail paving; and surface work along Mink Creek Road (from the 55 Street intersection east for 1.5 kilome-tres), 41 Avenue (west of Dahl Drive), 34 Avenue (between Caxton Street and Ravine Drive), and other areas through-out town. Area residents will be informed of construction work and schedules when they are confi rmed.

Bail-out Is Out, Bail-in Is In: Time for Some

Publicly-Owned Banksby Ellen Brown

(Continued on page 27)(Continued on page 22)

Editor's Note: Canada has the same general setup as the U.S. one in regards to the depositors in the following article. What is more im-portant, Canada is signatory to the same G20 and other documents that now allow banks to confi scate the money of their deposi-tors. Where does it end?

“[W]ith Cyprus . . . the game itself changed. By raiding the depositors’ accounts, a major central bank has gone where they would not previously have dared. The Rubicon has been crossed.”

—Eric Sprott, Shree Kargutkar, “Caveat Depositor”

The crossing of the Rubicon into the confi scation of depositor funds was not a one-off emergency measure limited to Cyprus. Similar “bail-in” policies are now ap-pearing in multiple countries. (See my earlier articles here.) What triggered the new rules may have been a series of game-changing events including the refusal of Iceland to bail out its banks and their depositors; Bank of America’s commingling of its ominously risky de-rivatives arm with its depository arm over the objections of the FDIC; and the fact that most EU banks are now insolvent. A crisis in a major nation such as Spain or Italy could lead to a chain of defaults beyond anyone’s control, and beyond the ability of federal deposit insur-ance schemes to reimburse depositors.

The new rules for keeping the too-big-to-fail banks alive: use creditor funds, including uninsured deposits, to recapitalize failing banks.

Can we avoid a lost generation? With more and more young people becoming

unemployable, radical measures are needed on several fronts.

by Norman Bailey, adapted for Can-ada by Dan Parker. Alberta is currently a special case regarding employment.

The current issue of The Econ-omist has a cover picture of people being discharged into a trash dump, with the headline "Generation Job-less" and the subtitle "The Global Rise of Youth Unemployment". In the article inside the magazine it points out that youth unemployment, as re-ported by offi cial statistical agencies, which undoubt-edly miss many of the unemployed, even so totals more than the population of the United States.

Other recent articles were titled Long-Term Jobless-ness is a National Emergency (McClatchy newspapers) and By Any Measure the Jobs Disaster Continues (Wall Street Journal). It is obvious that this phenomenon is re-sulting in, and will continue to increasingly result in, a rising pool of jobless and rootless youth looking for a means of survival in a world which simply no longer needs them. A perfect recruiting pool for terrorist and guerrilla organizations and criminal syndicates. They will retaliate against a world that does not value them by destroying that which they perceive as preventing them from having a meaningful future, or to aiding the criminal bosses in stealing the results of the productivity revolution created by others.

With all due respect to the many economists, soci-ologists, other academics and journalists who have sug-gested multiple explanations for this extremely danger-ous phenomenon, the basic reason is very simple: all the advances in technology and therefore productivity in recent years have been increasingly capital-intensive and therefore decreasingly labor-intensive. Advanced


Do we really have a free press?by Dan Parker

“The study of money, above all other fi elds in economics, is one

in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not

to reveal it"— John Kenneth

centuries and which will have to be fought sooner

or later, is the people versus the banks."— Lord Acton

freedom versus tyranny.— Hannah Arendt

The Community Advisor is cele-brating its 10th Anniversary this year. This is somewhat surprising for a project started on a shoestring that is heavily critical of the institution that provides the lifeblood for any pub-lication; which is to say the money system. This is due in no small part to supporters who know how important a free media is to democracy. The truth of the matter is, how money is created, and who benefi ts, should be the biggest media story of our times.

Unfortunately, the mainstream media either misses or misrepresents the story of the century. It should be point-ed out the deception regarding how our money works in the media is not a refl ection on the individuals involved, but instead an examination of how power systems have worked since before the beginning of recorded history. An early example of this dynamic is how a witch doctor gained power over a tribe by tricking its members. In modern times, the power system has tricked journalists, many politicians, most bankers and the general public

Fight Disease or Create Health?Written by Verna Ellis, Health SolutionsWe learned from “Goldilocks” in the previous articles that

our medical profession (allopathy) operates in a ‘reduction-ist’ paradigm and our bodies are holistic. This contradiction in thought leads to more problems than solutions. James L. Chestnut, B.Ed., MSc., D.C., says it better than anyone:

The Plant Analogy By James L. ChestnutLet me give you an analogy so that you can understand.

We can all agree that all living organisms are made up of cells working together to maintain life. Each organism is in fact an ecosystem of cells. I like to think of all my patients this way. I just see ecosystems of cells that are toxic or defi cient and my job is to help them become pure and suffi cient. When this oc-curs the ecosystem naturally goes back to its natural state – ho-meostasis and health. There are countless examples of this to prove I am right. Stop smoking and your lungs clear (as long as you have not exhausted your innate ability to adapt). Stop polluting rivers and the plants and fi sh come back. Walk away from a logged forest for long enough and a forest will return. The less we intervene in natural ecosystems the healthier they are – period. When people realize that they are ecosystems they will stop polluting themselves and start making ecologi-cally friendly or physiologically compatible lifestyle choices.

Back to my analogy. Think of plants. If you had a bunch of plants that were wilting what would you do? Add drugs and remove parts? I doubt it. You would ask intelligent questions such as if the plants were getting enough sunlight. You might notice that the wilting plants were in the shade and, realiz-ing that these particular plants required a lot of sunlight, you would intelligently put them in the sun. Well they should all stop wilting right? Guess what. They all wilted more! If you were doing a study you would have to conclude that sunlight made plants worse. But you knew these plants were defi cient in sunlight, how is this possible?

What if they were also defi cient in water? Putting a dry plant in the sun could indeed make it dry out faster couldn’t it? Ok then, let’s give all the plants water and put them in the sun. You’re a brilliant clinician! Too bad only a few of the plants got better. In other words, no signifi cant difference between water and sunlight and fl ipping a coin or water and sunlight and fake water and sunlight. Your study concludes that water and sunlight has no benefi cial effect on wilting plants. Why? Some of the plants were saved! Sorry, not statistically signifi -cantly better than the control group and in the RCT (random clinical trial) model you must conclude that your intervention had no effect. How scientifi c! What a wonderful gold stan-dard!

But wait, you won’t give up. You will also add nutrients to the soil. Now you have well fed, well watered plants bask-ing in the sun all day. Surely your plants are totally suffi cient now and will thrive. Sorry, only a few get better again. How is this possible? Your study will be quoted as evidence that water, sunlight, and food is no good for plants. But we know for sure plants will die without this stuff! Sorry, we must be scientifi c and your RCT study clearly showed that water, nu-

Letter to Editor75 year old seniors should be made

aware that Alberta Transport does not require them to complete a Simard MD or Drive Able assessment for the renewal of their operator's licence.

In 2011 random testing of high pro-fi le citizens all actively employed was carried out in one Alberta community. All except two failed the Simard MD

including an Alberta Cabinet Minister. The Redford Government should

not allow private for profi t agency to perpetrate this massive multi-million dollar scam against our seniors.

Our physicians should not recom-mend this corrupt protocol.

(Continued from page 8)trients, and sunlight were not any better for plants than fake water, nutrients, and sunlight.

But if I take healthy plants and take away water, nutrients, and sunlight they will all die! Wait a minute, did you want to study healthy plants? That is not within the paradigm of allopathy because it cannot answer the real important ques-tions of whether or not your intervention improved symptoms or treated a disease. In allopathy you must evaluate everything based on these criteria.

By the way, why didn’t your plants all thrive if you gave them all water, nutrients, and sunlight? They were toxic! Your neighbor was dumping out his oil in his back yard and it got into the root systems of your plants!

I hope you see that in order to be healthy and well, in order to maintain homeostasis, ecosystems have to have suffi ciency in ALL the required nutrients, and purity in ALL aspects of their environment AT THE SAME TIME, for a period of time! This is what your patients need, they are ecosystems of cells.

I hope you also realize that in every case it was NOT a genetic problem with the plants or the cells of the plant ecosys-tem that was the problem. The problem was the defi cient and toxic environments the plants were in. However, if you stud-ied the genetics of these sick plants you would see different genes being expressed in the sick plants than in healthy ones. This is the EFFECT of the defi cient and toxic environment, NOT the CAUSE! Interesting isn’t it?

Regular Meeting of Council. Completion of projects over the past several months, as well as upcoming initia-tives, prompted the review of the concept plan. Some changes and enhancements to Rotary Park for this year include: the construction of a new playground south of the Splash Park; the closure of the central access road and north east parking lot (which will remain for avail-able maintenance and winter use only); additional picnic tables, pads, and tree planting; and relocation of trails adjacent to the pond.

Community Business Beautifi cation Grant funding has been allocated to the Whitecourt Golf and Country Club and Super 8 Whitecourt. The grant provides assis-tance to local businesses and organizations to contribute to the beautifi cation of the community, and increase the aesthetic appeal of streets and neighbourhoods.

A development agreement for the second phase of Riverstone Estates has been approved. The new subdivi-sion includes 30 single family lots.

Council also discussed recent correspondence from Premier Redford regarding a future hospital for Whitecourt, and chose to respond with a letter empha-sizing that while the Town is pleased that funding for planning has been included in the 2013/14 Provincial budget, the Town will continue to press for a scheduled commitment for a capital project.

This is one of those questions where there is no sin-gle right answer. In other words, it depends on how you use your computer. There a couple of instances where you would have to keep it on, they are 1: at work – where your network administrator does a backup or updates at night 2: if it is acting as a server on a LAN. If you do not fall into either one of these categories, then you have a choice about whether or not to leave your machine on. There are lots of pros and cons for both sides, let’s take a look at a couple.

The main reason why you might want to turn it off is cost. A typical PC consumes something like 300 watts. Now with energy-saving features on most PC’s you can cut that fi gure in half. So typically that’s about an extra 100 - 150 per year on your hydro bill for leaving your PC on.

The argument for leaving your computer on all the time is that turning it on and off somewhat stresses the

computer's components. ‘Chip creep’ is what they call it – this used to be a problem but with today’s technology this is really less of an issue. Hardware has become quite reliable …. now software that’s a different story. Booting up and shutting down are the most likely times to run into a problem.

So it comes back to how often you use your computer. I personally never turn mine off but I use my laptop and desktop every day.

alike about the true nature of the money system. Those in fi nancial, media and other careers who do see the light must keep silent or risk losing their livelihoods.

Hebert Schiller in Culture Inc., summarized how our critical information sources can be compromised. He wrote: “It is not necessary to construct a theory of inten-tional cultural control. In truth, the strength of the control process rests in its apparent absence. The desired systemic result is achieved ordinarily by a loose, though effective, institutional process. It utilizes the education of journal-ists and other media professionals, built-in penalties and rewards for doing what is expected, norms presented as objective rules, and the occasional but telling direct intru-sion from above. The main lever is the internalization of values.” The occasional but telling intrusion from above can take the form of ‘your story or your job’.

One of the strengths of the current economic decep-tion in the mainstream media is that the ideas put forth are so silly as to be believed by the majority, simply be-cause most people cannot imagine themselves telling such whopping lies. This is known as the big lie concept, or what the American writer Kurt Vonnegut referred to as ‘the capacity to astonish’.

For example, in the past, people went hungry, even while in the midst of plenty, during the Great Depres-

sion. When WWII started, the productive capacity that was always available became apparent when not only men, but also women were hired and paid. Once more they could afford suffi cient food and ad-equate shelter. There was no explanation why it was economically possible to build almost anything after September 10, 1939, the day Canada declared war, while previous to this day it was held to be unafford-able to provide many basic needs to the citizens.

During this time, the farmers did not make out so bad, outside of the dust-bowl. If one had to pre-cisely describe why this happened, one would say it was because the econom-ics that caused the city go-ers so much pain could not be adequately explained to cows, pigs, chickens and garden vegetables. Outside of the dustbowl, they kept on producing at the same rate as before the depres-sion. That is: economically speaking, a head of let-tuce displayed more intel-ligence than the so-called learned economists of the day. This is not a joke. There were intelligence economic ideas of course, but they were demonized by the mainstream media, when they were mentioned at all.

Politically speaking, the purveyors of the estab-lishment economic theory were of course extremely intelligent. In presenting

Why People are Investing in Real Estate Like Never Before

1.) Proven Concept: Just compare.2.) Real Estate is an Asset: It can be seen, it is real, not just

"paper". (i.e. stocks and bonds)3.) Real Estate Offers Great Flexibility: You can sell it to cash

out your profi t, rent for cash fl ow, or renovate and remortgage for leverage.

4.) Banks Put Up The Majority of the Money: With no stake in the appreciation.

General Types of Investing1.) Flips: There are a large number of investors wanting to fl ip

homes or sell the property in 6 months for a higher price and profi t.

Most in this category end up with less profi t than anticipated and put in more personal hours than expected. There is a large number of these investors and only the extreemly organized ones will suc-ceed in the long term. 2.) Short Term: As Real Estate prices go up and down while continuing on an upward swing over many years, investors will try to ride the wave on an area of substancial growth (Buy low, sell high). Anywhere from 1-5 years depending on the market and other factors. 3.) Long Term Holds: This is the most suc-cessful group because it is almost foolproof. The plan is simple as long as you are in for the long term (5-25 years you will ride infl a-tion). Although there are ups and downs along the way, equidy and appreciation will continue to widen. It is a fact that over 95% of all millionaires have made their money this way. 4.) Recreational and/or Retirement: They planned well and want to spend their money.


economic ideas about production that were inferior to what a thriving head of lettuce knew, they were merely indulging in the big lie technique. Their economic proc-lamations were so preposterous that they were initially believed by most of a fi nancially uneducated public who could not imagine themselves presenting something so outrageously silly as being factual. Sensible economic ideas were then presented as being silly, to fi nish out the requirements of the big lie technique.

Not to put too long a story on it, but the bank’s trick of creating money from nothing as debt, at compound interest has essentially resulted in debt slavery for most individuals. Banks do not lend the money of their de-positors. They create the money out of thin air, subject to a small capital adequacy requirement imposed by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Swit-zerland. The bank has created nothing except for a book-keeping entry, and for this demands repayment of both principal and compound interest of a debt they have cre-ated out of thin air. For the great majority of the people, even if they do not have any personal debts, they would be bankrupt if they ever had to pay their share of munici-pal, provincial and national odious debts and liabilities. The looming derivatives fraud only adds to this mess.

In heeding the dictum that a problem must be solved at the level it was created at, this paper has focused on international fi nance and largely stayed away from fo-cusing on the national, provincial and local politics that dominate the mainstream media. However, at these lev-els there is also a job to be done to bring more transpar-ency, and hence democracy, to the issues of the day. The mainstream media does a fair job of exposing injustice here. However, without acknowledging the injustice in-herent in the banking system, they cannot do more than offer band-aid solutions. And in bowing down to the in-ternational fi nancial system, the mainstream media must by rights temper or eliminate deserved criticism on the part of the local, provincial and national people who are staunch supporters of the corrupt international situation. The upshot is that our information sources have become increasingly compromised at all levels.

As always, the truth will out, and this is taking many forms. The best options presented do not demonize any of the players involved, but instead look at the problem from a systems perspective. Most of the super-elites are caught in damned if you do, damned if you don’t situ-ations; which results from having a lack of accountable government at the global level. Still, the solutions must start at the grassroots level. The old saying think global, act local, applies equally to our politics in an intercon-nected world, as it does to the environment.

3rd, 1924. Mrs. Elmer Nichols died in childbirth at a nursing home in Westlock. The family, with the help of the grandmother stayed on the homestead. The mother and baby were buried in a corner of the yard, and were the fi rst graves in the present cemetery. Now at the time of writing, there are many old-timers as well as more recent members buried there. At the time of her burial Elmer set out a little spruce tree a little way from the foot of the graves, the tree is now a tall tribute to the community at large.

About 1926, settlers began coming in. The closest store and post offi ce was at Fort Assiniboine, some four-teen miles away, where Billy Combes was storekeeper, and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Roach had the post offi ce and a stopping off place. Anyone who went to the Fort brought back groceries and mail for all the neighbors.

About this time Alex Nickle bought the Anton Hol-mes place, and his wife, Mary and son, Clarence, moved into the little log house, but shortly after built a big and comfortable log house. The district was now settling up fast, as people were coming in from other places and were taking up homesteads.

Fern, the eldest Nichols girl had married and moved to Fawcett. At the same time the Olaf Finsteads, who now had a baby daughter, moved to Fawcett leaving their homestead. In July of 1926, Sam Sheren and wife and baby, his brother, Charles, and their mother came to the district. In August of that year, Sam traded the car he had come in to Olaf Finstead for his place, the site of the old Klondyke City. During this time many set-tlers had come in, among others were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Utas and boys, who kept a few groceries at one time, but soon gave it up. Other settlers were: Mark Robin-son and sons, Rex and Billy. Duncan Mclntosh, Mr. and

Mrs. Walter Thompson Sr.

Mrs. Andy Ehl, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Vanstone and family, Mike and Nick Jackman and families, the Fred Lozens, the Ed Dersch family, S. Edeen and family, Joe Pruden and family, Ben Smith and family, Al Mitchell and fam-ily and Dan McPhee, a bachelor.. These were among the earliest, others came later.

In 1929, Andy Ehl started a little sawmill west of the settlement, and with the help from the settlement got out some lumber, most of which was used locally. The set-tlement had been some eighty miles from Westlock and the nearest railroad. There wasn't much in the way for roads, just trails through the bush. so it wasn't easy get-ting supplies in, or any lumber, or anything out. These early settlers had hauled their wheat to Westlock with four horses and a sleigh in the winter time. Some cattle were driven all the way to Westlock on foot, to market. The land clearing wasn't very fast as it was all done by hand and broke with horses.

(Continued from page 6)robotization and 3-D manufacturing; information and bio-technology wonders, even advanced medical devices and procedures all require greater investment in capital and in scientifi c and technical and managerial skills, and less and less real demand for labor.

This being the diagnosis, and the prognosis being starkly pessimistic, what does the prescription look like?

One possibility, remarkably recommended by many groups that claim to be favorable to the "working class", is an economy based more and more on government hand-outs, loans and assistance of all kinds, which will inevitably tend toward a social structure made up of an underclass, in-cluding immigrants, doing menial labor; a permanent and growing class of what may be called "serfs of the state", dependent on government income transfers (about sixty million in the US at this time), a class of well-remunerated knowledge workers and a small but extremely wealthy class of owners of productive capital. But this structure is unsustainable, because society cannot maintain its cost indefi nitely, leading to the kinds of situations seen today in many of the European Union countries, where "auster-ity", demanded for bailouts, precisely affects most strongly those dependent on the state. It should be noted that for the fi rst time in the history of the radical May-Day demonstra-tions, so prominent in Europe and elsewhere, such demon-strations were widespread this year in the US.

The only sustainable solution is investment in scien-tifi c and technical education to increase the pool of truly productive knowledge workers, and even more important, to adopt measures to encourage the spread within soci-ety of the ownership of productive capital, about which I have written several times previously — such things as employee stock ownership plans and community invest-ment trusts.

Where does Canada stand in this melancholy picture? Many graduates of our universities end up in McJobs, with massive debt, and little prospect of meaningful em-ployment.

The other challenge, that of the spread of capital ownership in society, has scarcely been touched. At one time the Federal and Provincial Conservative Parties were more attentive to this obvious solution for creating smaller government. Federally, the idea was championed by Winnet Boyd, chief engineer for the most advanced jet engine in the world at the time. Will the advocates of smaller government once again see the light?

Norman A. Bailey, Ph.D., served as Senior Director of International Economic Affairs for the United States National Security Council (NSC) between 1981 and 1983 and is currently Adjunct Professor of Economic Statecraft at The Institute of World Politics, Washington, DC.

Advisor Increases ReachFor some time now, the Communicty Advisor has

been the largest circulation print media in town. How-ever, with 4,100 copies being mailed to everyone in Whitecourt and then 850 being left at area businesses, there was undoubtedly some duplication.

To reach more people with the important economic news that only the Advisor is currently publishing, lo-cal copies will be matched to that which our competi-tors fi nd suffi cient to cover Whitecourt. With the money saved here, and some additional investment, copies of the Advisor will be mailed out to the entire Whitecourt trading area. This type of distribution is known in the industry as total market coverage, or TMC. In addition-

In Love and WonderingDear Abby, I've never written to you before, but I

really need your advice on what could be a crucial deci-sion. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.

The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them."

I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive, although I can hear a car setting off, as if she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?

I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her. Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife.

I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to park my Harley Davidson Heritage next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that mo-ment, crouching behind my Harley, that I noticed that the rocker boxes on my engine seem to be leaking a little oil. Is this something I can fi x myself or should I take it back to the dealer? - Thanks, Mike.

But isn’t that theft?

Perhaps, but it’s legal theft. By law, when you put your money into a deposit account, your money be-comes the property of the bank. You become an unse-cured creditor with a claim against the bank. Before the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was instituted in 1934, U.S. depositors routinely lost their money when banks went bankrupt. Your deposits are protected only up to the $250,000 insurance limit, and only to the extent that the FDIC has the money to cover deposit claims or can come up with it. The question then is, how secure is the FDIC?

Can the FDIC Go Bankrupt?

In 2009, when the FDIC fund went $8.2 billion in the hole, Chairwoman Sheila Bair assured depositors that their money was protected by a hefty credit line with the Treasury. But the FDIC is funded with premi-ums from its member banks, which had to replenish the fund. The special assessment required to do it was crip-pling for the smaller banks, and that was just to recover $8.2 billion. What happens when Bank of America or JPMorganChase, which have commingled their mas-sive derivatives casinos with their depositary arms, is propelled into bankruptcy by a major derivatives fi -asco? These two banks both have deposits exceeding $1 trillion, and they both have derivatives books with notional values exceeding the GDP of the world. (em-phasis added)

Bank of America Corporation moved its trillions in derivatives (mostly credit default swaps) from its Mer-rill Lynch unit to its banking subsidiary in 2011. It did not get regulatory approval but just acted at the request of frightened counterparties, following a downgrade by Moody’s. The FDIC opposed the move, reportedly pro-testing that the FDIC would be subjected to the risk of (Continued on page 28)

becoming insolvent if BofA were to fi le for bankruptcy. But the Federal Reserve favored the move, in order to give relief to the bank holding company. (Proof positive, says former regulator Bill Black, that the Fed is working for the banks and not for us. “Any competent regulator would have said: ‘No, Hell NO!’”)

The reason this risky move would subject the FDIC to insolvency is that under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005, derivatives counter-parties are given preference over all other creditors and customers of the bankrupt fi nancial institution, including FDIC insured depositors. Normally, the FDIC would have the powers as trustee in receivership to protect the failed bank’s collateral for payments made to depositors. But the FDIC’s powers are overridden by the special status of derivatives. (Re-member MF Global? The reason its customers lost their segregated customer funds to the derivatives claimants was that derivatives have super-priority in bankruptcy.)

The FDIC has only about $25 billion in its deposit insurance fund, which is mandated by law to keep a bal-ance equivalent to only 1.15 percent of insured deposits. And the Dodd-Frank Act (Section 716) now bans tax-payer bailouts of most speculative derivatives activities. Drawing on the FDIC’s credit line with the Treasury to cover a BofA or JPMorgan derivatives bust would be the

(Continued from page 27)equivalent of a taxpayer bailout, at least if the money were not paid back; and imposing that burden on the FDIC’s member banks is something they can ill afford.

BofA is not the only bank threatening to wipe out the federal deposit insurance funds that most countries have. According to Willem Buiter, chief economist at Citigroup, most EU banks are zombies. And that explains the impetus for the new “bail in” policies, which put the burden instead on the unsecured creditors, including the depositors. Below is some additional corroborating re-search on these new, game-changing bail-in schemes.

Depositors Beware

An interesting series of commentaries starts with one on the website of Sprott Asset Management Inc. ti-tled “Caveat Depositor,” in which Eric Sprott and Shree Kargutkar note that the US, UK, EU, and Canada have all built the new “bail in” template to avoid imposing risk on their governments and taxpayers. They write:

[M]ost depositors naively assume that their deposits are 100% safe in their banks and trust them to safeguard their savings. Under the new “template” all lenders (in-cluding depositors) to the bank can be forced to “bail in” their respective banks.

Dave of Denver then followed up on the Sprott commentary in an April 3 entry on his blog The Golden Truth, in which he pointed out that the new template has long been agreed to by the G20 countries:

"Because the use of taxpayer-funded bailouts would likely no longer be tolerated by the public, a new bank rescue plan was needed. As it turns out, this new "bail-in" model is based on an agreement that was the result of a bank bail-out model that was drafted by a sub-com-mittee of the BIS (Bank for International Settlement) and endorsed at a G20 summit in 2011. For those of you who don't know, the BIS is the global "Central Bank" of

Central Banks. As such it is the world's most powerful fi nancial institution. "

The links are in Dave’s April 1 article, which states: "The new approach has been agreed at the highest lev-els . . . It has been a topic under consideration since the publication by the Financial Stability Board (a BIS com-mittee) of a paper, Key Attributes of Effective Resolu-tion Regimes for Financial Institutions in October 2011, which was endorsed at the Cannes G20 summit the following month. This was followed by a consultative document in November 2012, Recovery and Resolution Planning: Making the Key Attributes Requirements Op-erational."

Dave goes on: "[W]hat is commonly referred to as a "bail-in" in Cyprus is actually a global bank rescue mod-el that was derived and ratifi ed nearly two years ago. . . . [B]ank deposits in excess of Government insured amount in any bank in any country will be treated like unsecured debt if the bank goes belly-up and is restruc-tured in some form."

Jesse at Jesse’s Café Americain then picked up the thread and pointed out that it is not just direct depos-its that are at risk. The too-big-to-fail banks have com-mingled accounts in a web of debt that spreads globally. Stock brokerages keep their money market funds in over-night sweeps in TBTF banks, and many credit unions do their banking at large TBTF correspondent banks: "You say you have money in a pension fund and an IRA at XYZ bank? Oops, it is really on deposit in you-know-who's bank. You say you have money in a brokerage ac-count? Oops, it is really being held overnight in their TBTF bank. Remember MF Global? Who can say how far the entanglements go? The current fi nancial system and market structure is crazy with hidden risk, insider dealings, control frauds, and subtle dangers."

Also at Risk: Pension Funds and Public Revenues


JUNE 2013 Community Advisor PAGE 29(Continued from page 28)

William Buiter, writing in the UK Financial Times in March 2009, defended the bail-in approach as better than the alternative. But he acknowledged that the “un-secured creditors” who would take the hit were chiefl y “pensioners drawing their pensions from pension funds heavily invested in unsecured bank debt and owners of insurance policies with insurance companies holding unsecured bank debt,” and that these unsecured credi-tors “would suffer a large decline in fi nancial wealth and disposable income that would cause them to cut back sharply on consumption.”

The deposits of U.S. pension funds are well over the insured limit of $250,000. They will get raided just as the pension funds did in Cyprus, and so will the insur-ance companies. Who else?

Most state and local governments also keep far more on deposit than $250,000, and they keep these revenues largely in TBTF banks. Community banks are not large enough to service the complicated banking needs of governments, and they are unwilling or unable to come up with the collateral that is required to secure public funds over the $250,000 FDIC limit.

The question is, how secure are the public funds in the TBTF banks? Like the depositors who think FDIC insurance protects them, public offi cials assume their funds are protected by the collateral posted by their depository banks. But the collateral is liable to be long gone in a major derivatives bust, since derivatives claim-ants have super-priority in bankruptcy over every other claim, secured or unsecured, including those of state and local governments.

The Cyprus Wakeup Call

Robert Teitelbaum wrote in a May 2011 article titled “The Case Against Favored Treatment of Derivatives”:

". . . Dodd-Frank did not touch favored status [of derivatives] and despite all the sound and fury, . . . there are very few signs from either party that anyone with any clout is suddenly about to revisit that decision and simplify bankruptcy treatment. Why? Because for all its relative straightforwardness compared to more diffi -cult fi xes, derivatives remains a mysterious black box to most Americans . . . . [A]s the sense of urgency to reform passes . . . we return to a situation of technical interest to only a few, most of whom have their own particular self-interest in mind."

But that was in 2011, before the Cyprus alarm bells (Continued on page 30)

went off. It is time to pry open the black box, get edu-cated, and get organized. Here are three things that need to be done for starters:

Protect depositor funds from derivative raids by • repealing the super-priority status of derivatives.Separate depository banking from investment • banking by repealing the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 and reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act.Protect both public and private revenues by es-• tablishing a network of publicly-owned banks, on the model of the Bank of North Dakota.
