The US electronic bank run of September 18, 2008 [1 Attachment]

Hello list,

 

Here is a new historical revelation during the crisis in the fall of 2008:

 

Paulson Says Russia Urged China to Dump Fannie, Freddie Bonds

 

Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Russia urged China to dump its Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds in 2008 in a bid to force a bailout of the largest U.S. mortgage-finance companies, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said. Paulson learned of the “disruptive scheme†while attending the Beijing Summer Olympics, according to his new memoir, “On The Brink.†The Russians made a “top-level approach†to the Chinese “that together they might sell big chunks of their GSE holdings to force the U.S. to use its emergency authorities to prop up these companies,†Paulson said, referring to the acronym for government sponsored entities. The Chinese declined, he said. Russia’s five-day war with U.S. ally Georgia started on Aug. 8, the same day as the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Games. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin told

U.S. President George W. Bush during those ceremonies that “war has started,†according to Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman. “The report was deeply troubling -- heavy selling could create a sudden loss of confidence in the GSEs and shake the capital markets,†Paulson wrote. “I waited till I was back home and in a secure environment to inform the president.†Russia never approached China about dumping U.S. bonds, Peskov said today. “This is not the case,†he said by phone. Russia sold all of its Fannie and Freddie debt in 2008, after holding $65.6 billion of the notes at the start of that year, according to central bank data. Fannie and Freddie were seized by regulators on Sept. 6, 2008, amid the worst U.S. housing slump since the Great Depression.

Please note that in early August 2008, transit Rahu, the indicator of manipulation, was stationary and closely conjunct and afflicting the natal Sun in the 7th house. Meanwhile, transit 6th lord Jupiter in the MEP of the 6th house and Saturn in the 2nd house were both afflicted by natal Rahu. Around August 8, 2008 there was also an eclipse of the Sun.

Hello list,

 

One of the most dramatic moments in the US financial crisis last fall was described thus by Pennsylvania Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D), Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, on C-SPAN.

 

“On Thursday [september 18, 2008], at about eleven in the morning, the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous drawdown of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of five hundred fifty billion dollars was being drawn out in a matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened its window, to help. It pumped one hundred five billion dollars into the system, and quickly realized they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks! They decided to close that operation, close down the money accounts, and announce a guarantee of two hundred fifty thousand [dollars] per account so there wouldn’t be further panic out there. [the FDIC insurance coverage limit was increased]. That’s what actually happened. If they had not done that, their estimation was that by two o’clock that afternoon, five and one half trillion dollars would have been drawn out of the money market system of the United States. It would have collapsed

the entire economy of the United States and, within twenty-four hours, the world economy would have collapsed. Now we talked at that time about what would happen if that happened. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it. And that’s why when they [the Treasury and Fed] made the point that we’ve got to act and do things quickly, we did.â€

The electronic bank run took place on a Thursday, September 18, 2008, a few days after Lehman Brothers bank collapsed (on Monday, September 15, 2008). The period and transit influences in the SAMVA USA chart at this dangerous time are very interesting and also consistent with the event:

 

Venus-Jupiter period was operating, giving importance to the transit influences involving transit Jupiter and natal Jupiter. Jupiter rules banking and as 6th lord it rules financial stability. Its natal placement in the 5th house brings to the fore management with regard to its indications. The natal affliction of Rahu in the 10th house of government to the 6th house, which is ruled by Jupiter, indicates manipulation with regard to its indications.

 

There was a malefic combination of rare magnitude at that time. Transit Jupiter at 18° Sagittarius and in the MEP of the 6th house was afflicting transit 8th lord Saturn at 19° Leo and the 2nd house, natal Rahu at 18° Aries and the 10th house. In turn, Jupiter was afflicted by natal Rahu. Importantly, natal Rahu was also afflicting transit 8th lord Saturn. Saturn was also afflicting the 2nd house of wealth, the 4th house of communal harmony (peace of mind of the citizens) and the 11th house of income. As if that was not enough, the transit nodes were stationary on top of natal 2nd lord Sun at 23° Capricorn and 7th house. In short, the indications of banking, financial stability and wealth were being massively threatened. Fortunately, in the 3rd house was a triple conjunction of 3rd lord Mercury, 4th lord Venus and 10th lord Mars. The government reacted to forestall a systemic meltdown.

Transit 1st lord Moon was also conjunct natal Rahu that day.

 

This time may be considered the very peak of the entire crisis, which was predicted in the annual prediction for 2008, based on the SAMVA USA chart, and published on December 31, 2007. See the section CRISIS IN THE FALL:

The prediction was reconfirmed in a number of subsequent articles in 2008, before the crisis broke.
