IMF Executive Board Approves Major Expansion of Fund’s Borrowing Arrangements to Boost Resources for Crisis Resolution
Press Release No. 10/145
April 12, 2010
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today approved a ten-fold expansion of the Fund’s New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB) and the transformation of the Fund’s premier standing credit arrangement into a more flexible and effective tool of crisis management. The NAB will be increased by SDR 333.5 billion (about US$500 billion) to SDR 367.5 billion (about US$550 billion), representing a major increase in the resources available for the Fund’s lending to its members. more
Can anyone tell me what an SDR (special drawing right) actually is, and why it's worth about $1.5 US? It's bad enough when individual countries and the EU print worthless fiat money, but now the IMF, a group of semi-private bankers, can on a whim, conjure into existence 34 billion SDRs, to be used to enrich more of their banker friends (I'm sure Goldman Sachs won't miss out on this teat's suckfest.) In case you were wondering, the US is the largest contributer to the IMF, so those are your tax dollars at work. We'll probably be bailing out Greece, to be followed by the rest of the PIGS, after selling 200 tons of IMF (mostly US originally) Gold to India, and another 200 tons being sold soon (to China?). Let's give all our gold away, I'm sure we can trade it for SDRs. We're f***ed!
Or maybe (conspiracy theory alert), the banksters sold the Indians hollowed out gold bars filled w tungsten, but that's still the banking cabal f-ing some-one.http://www.zerohedge.com/article/genesis-gold-tungsten-rest-story
This is a must read for you conspiracy bugs as it gets into some of the nitty-gritty detail of involvement from Bush, Barrick, Clinton, the Banksters etc. here
The plate belongs to Morgan Stanley Vice-Chairman Rob Kindler. Asshole.

California ire over Borat bonds
By Spencer Jakab
Maybe Bill Lockyer not make benefit glorious state California?
Taking a page out of Greece’s playbook, the peeved treasurer of America’s largest state fired off letters this week to the chiefs of Goldman Sachs and other banks questioning their marketing of credit default swaps on California’s debt. The instruments, he complained, “wrongly brand our bonds as a greater risk than those issued by such nations as Kazakhstan.” (follow link for rest of article)
