It says that Northern Rock would have needed far greater funds - and that if this finance had been provided three weeks ago or so, the liquidity would not have eliminated the Rock's funding difficulties.<BR/><BR/>It is slightly odd that the Bank should divulge this to me now, because it failed to provide this detail (or any answer at all) when I asked this afternoon whether what it announced today could have provided succour to Northern Rock. So although the Bank of England has changed course in respect of the way it is prepared to tackle the crisis in the money markets, it is sticking to the position that it has no regrets about the way that it provided its initial support to Northern Rock." </B><BR/><BR/><BR/>If the above statement is correct (and there is no reason to doubt it) It is evident that the situation is a great deal worse than was at first understood. It is also evident that the Bank / FSA / Treasury are not providing information which can affect the share price in the appropriate and legal way.<BR/><BR/>It is further evidence that the company was insolvent prior to the first public announcements made last week about BOE funding for the company.<BR/><BR/>The shares must be immediately suspended.The Directors must make a statement on insolvency and Administrators brought in to run the company.zizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249645812407323273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-54193510067295731482007-09-19T22:47:00.000+01:002007-09-19T22:47:00.000+01:00'The Coming Battle' written in 1899 is readable on...'The Coming Battle' written in 1899 is readable online:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/comingbattle/cbtabcon.htm" REL="nofollow">The Coming Battle</A><BR/><BR/>It basically goes into detail about how Bankers (or the 'International Gold Trust') took over the economy of the US during the 1800s. <BR/>Some very interesting quotes & research in there, which makes it kind of a dense read. <BR/><BR/>Particularly the part about the demonetization of silver (and the marginalization of the Greenback party) in the US which could be the largest single wealth confiscation in the history of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-17534692183477804512007-09-19T20:55:00.001+01:002007-09-19T20:55:00.001+01:00That Thomas Jefferson quote is also a blinder...I ...That Thomas Jefferson quote is also a blinder...<BR/><BR/><I>I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.</I>Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01467757421113856218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-52584320768267241662007-09-19T20:55:00.000+01:002007-09-19T20:55:00.000+01:00Excellent photo of the N.R.
