Today
Nomi Prins, who was the keynote speaker that just addressed the Federal
Reserve, IMF and the World Bank, warned King World News that there is
no saving this global financial system in the second of a series of
powerful interviews that have now been released.
Who Will Save The System The Next Time It Begins To Implode?
Eric King:
"You mentioned that we are in unprecedented times. And the concern is
that when the 2008 collapse unfolded there was all this money printing
and the banks were bailed out. It really fell on the shoulders of the
taxpayers, but the concern as you said is that this leverage is
growing. There are over one quadrillion dollars of derivatives. With
the leverage totally ramped up in (terms of) the central banks' (balance
sheets), who will save the financial system (this time around)? Who
will save the banks? There are all these bail-ins that have been
written into law in the West and it seems like the next move is just to
steal money from the public. Who will save the system this time when it
implodes?
Nomi Prins: "When
it implodes it will implode more dangerously. The IMF and the Fed have
different ideas about whether rates should stay low or go up. In this
particular round the IMF won. They want rates to stay low because they
don't know what's going to happen to the global financial system if the
availability of cheap money goes away..
"Right
now everyone knows, whether they admit it or not, that (cheap money) is
the only thing that's keeping this (global financial) system afloat.
It isn't production. It isn't savings of individuals because nobody has
any money to save. So there is no there, there.
There Is No Saving This Global Financial System
So
the only policy that these central banks have is to continue to do more
of the same. And the only thing that does is continue to push this
next crisis, or the second leg of the current crisis as I look at it,
down the road. There is no saving this (global financial) system.
All they can do is continue to push the current policies to make it look as if things are operating functionally
- as if these banks are solvent and as if these markets are somehow
elevated on the basis of value and not on the basis of the cheap money
that they are infusing into the system. That's all they can do. They just hope that somewhere along the line this will work out."
