Why did JPMorgan buy First Republic Bank
by Gunnar Larson 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

xNY.io - Bank.org is pricing this crypto RICO at $10B. What they did to us at First Republic has nothing to do with the hush money situation. Honestly, they let Gunnar Larson speak his mind and I appreciate the Cypherpunks list for that utility. Anyhow, I heard the NY-DFS Superintendent banks at First Republic too. Small world! ---- https://www.marketplace.org/2023/05/01/for-jpmorgan-loss-sharing-sweetened-… JPMorgan won that auction, and it's paying a cool $10.6 billion for the bank, but not without some guarantees. JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said the deal to rescue First Republic only modestly benefits his bank.

I'm so old I remember when this rotten creep could pass himself off as anarchist. " . . . Molly Fischer writes that, at the end of his life, Graeber was active in the UK Labour Party. “The reason I support [Jeremy] Corbyn, or am happy about him,” he said in an interview, “is because he is willing to work with social movements.” Graeber, reports Fischer, “had struck up a connection with John McDonnell, Corbyn’s shadow chancellor of the exchequer [in] an effort to bring ordinary Britons into the workings of government.” Corbyn’s communications director described Graeber as someone “sparking the imagination for what’s politically possible.” Responding to the charges of antisemitism that, in part, led to the end of Corbyn’s leadership, Graeber recorded a video in his defense . . . " It is not clear, to me at any rate, that one can be an anarchist and not also be an egalitarian and an anti-statist! Any and all pro Graeber anarchists of the last decade will be called to account and severely punished for their depraved indifference since May 2012.

Big fish. ---- Scotland’s Salmon Farms Navigate Troubled Waters for Global Industry https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-01-20/scotland-s-salmon-farms-… At a village hall near Loch Linnhe, a sliver of water sandwiched between the Hebrides and Glasgow, Stewart Hawthorn laid out his plan to build the biggest salmon farm in the UK near this aging rural community. Once completed, the managing director of Long Loch Salmon said, it would create at least 16 jobs. It would feature eight enclosures holding up to 8,000 tons of fish, with a density double the industry standard. And most importantly, he claimed, it would help alleviate one of the biggest problems plaguing the business — excessive death rates.

Like his dad, an ex-Marine who worked as a welder on the space shuttle and Mars landers, Greenewald liked looking up at the stars. One day he decided to feed his curiosity by surfing the Web, which at the time meant dialing into America Online and waiting patiently. When he had a connection, he went to the Computer UFO Network, or cufon, a site that had been around since, believe it or not, 1983, disseminating “reliable, verifiable information” on UFO phenomena. cufon had just posted what it claimed to be a document from the United States government describing the sighting of a mother ship—that is, a large aircraft that could release smaller “parasite” aircraft—flying over Iran. Greenewald clicked. It was a report from... Greenewald sent a foia request for the missing files, but the CIA said it could not find them. Greenewald then sent a ninety-seven-page fax to the CIA proving their existence. The CIA admitted it had made a mistake but said that Greenewald would need to pay $425.80 for the remaining pages. For a while he called himself an archivist. “But at this point I don’t even know if that’s accurate, because it is more than that. I’m trying to educate the public on what really is there to be discovered. I’m not sure how to label it.”

Anarchism calls for full unemployment https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/milton-friedman-the-prizefight… ( Reposts not solidarity and support for Nuclear Wintour and similar Walking Corpse Media ) Btc is impeccably monetarist . . . right up to the point each sat becomes worth a million dollars and Keynes takes the reins. Divisibility: Bitcoin is much more divisible than fiat currencies. One bitcoin can be divided into up to eight decimal places, with constituent units called satoshis. Bitcoin is divided into units as small as 0.00000001 BTC. In the future, if needed, the divisibility of bitcoin can be increased to 100 billion smaller parts Tokenization with any cryptocurrency, combined with virtually unlimited supply, means you’ll soon be able to securitize your household mortgage and . . . oh wait. " You expect me to talk about the interest rate on stablecoins? " No Mr Bond. I expect you to die! Friedman always pushed for state management of the money supply). To Burns, Friedman was a conservative because his prescriptions were often based on historical analysis, and because his career followed the arc of postwar American conservatism, with its “hybrid blend of libertarian economics, opposition to Communism, and defense of traditional values and hierarchies.” And if ordinary Chileans didn’t understand ’ Freedom to choose " and ’ Public choice ’ economics there was always august general Pinochet to assist them. Similar to Presidente Bukkake in neighboring El Slavador… And Von Miele of Val Verde. The Strasser junta. And the Immobilari. It may well be a sign of Libertarian statists decline when they drop all talk of smaller , leaner government in favor of smaller, leaner nuclear-power stations. Maybe! Austro-Libertarian Orcs are working tirelessly to bring forth netstates where crypto Reagans and cypherpunk Thatchers roam free. The suspense is terrible - I hope it lasts!
