Yesterday I watched Janet Yellen answering questions to the Senate Finance committee. Lots of really good questions from what I could see. Yellen though was like a deer in the headlights.

Now I have been lightly following some of this stuff basically because at this point there is little I can do about it. But now I have some questions...
Seeing that the Chinese Communist Party is getting bailed out for their investments in SVB and Signature banks, what is that dollar amount? Was the United States threatened by the CCP to pay-up? We do know that business people and investors in China face unique challenges when they fail.
Were any of these investors connected to Hunter Biden or any of the Biden family?
How much money did the Biden family have in accounts at these failed banks?
Janet Yellen says this decision was made with the full knowledge and cooperation of the President. Was this before or after his family all checked their balance sheets?
The more this stretches out and unwinds itself, the more this 'bail-out/loan' stinks.
As usual, at least FReepers pose the right questions.
The problem is that the questions frequently stay here.
“Were any of these investors connected to Hunter Biden or any of the Biden family?”
If the Chinese investors were related to the CCP, they are related to the Bidens
“Seeing that the Chinese Communist Party is getting bailed out for their investments in SVB and Signature banks, what is that dollar amount? “
Where did you see investors getting bailed out?
Yellen is no Milton Friedman. That doesn't mean SVB was a foreign hedge fund or Hunter was smoking crack with their CFO.
This was a large bank highly concentrated in one (politically connected) industry that colossally mismanaged its asset-lumpy liability duration matching. Pumping it up to be something much more fiendish is taking their bait, and blinds people to REAL evil.
Which begs the question...
How compromised is Biden and hence our country? How many other politicals are also compromised(Lindsey Graham)?
If all this finance stuff is interconnected, China will go to war this year. But I do not think that attack is going to be on Taiwan.
I mean seriously we have Clinton/Russia, Biden/Ukraine, Biden/China ...not a single thing here indicates peace and stability.
Well, some of that may be the case. But after having slept on the Yellen testimony these are my own questions. At least as far as I know, no one has asked them yet, except for maybe Senator Lankford and they literally shouted him down and timed him out, so Yellen did not have to answer.
I have to get to work now, but I will be checking this thread throughout the day. The questions I am asking are my own.
Yes. Res ipsa loquitor.
Congress, meaning the House, must demand the release of the investors names in the banks that are receiving a bail-out in excess of the $250,000 per account that is FDIC insured. They have the power of the purse, so before we taxpayers are paying those bail-outs we should know who we are paying. And, at a minimum, the recipients should pay taxes on the over $250,000 amount. We should learn who these people are, how they are connected to the Democrat Party, how much they have donated politically and personally. This excess bail-out is not something that should be done without approval of both Houses of the legislative branch. Make our representatives vote on this....of course they won’t like to go on record voting for this give-away.
Well, so far those conspiracy theories have been more correct than wrong. And if it makes the public start asking questions, we just might be on track to claw back our country.
Everything you listed we were lied to about. Now we are supposed to believe and trust them? People lost jobs and livelihoods and some lost their freedom and reside in a gulag in DC.
NO, I think we have a RIGHT TO ASK QUESTIONS and demand truthful answers. I for one am tired of acting like a parent that is catching their kid lying.
Lots of CCP money in SVB, ipso facto a bailout for the CCP.
But you see, clearly now, that there is NO “taxpayer money” bailing out the Chinese - democrat party politicians SVB failures!
It is FDIC money - and other banks (er, THEIR credit holders and investors and account holders!) money bailing out the California banks! The fact that taxpayer money supports (and the Depression-era law requires) the FDIC be supported only means that the taxpayers “pay” by reduced interest earnings on their savings, and investors earn reduced income on their stock purchases is irrelevant.
Listen carefully to the Lankford exchange. Plus Clay and Buck Show is covering this stuff today.
