This week, Mitchel reads the first half of “The Secret Bailout of J.P. Morgan: How Insider Trading Looted Bear Stearns and the American Taxpayer”, an extremely informative article by Ellen Brown, http://www.webofdebt.com/articles/banking-bailout.php , which holds that far from “rescuing” Bear Stearns, J.P. Morgan Chase — one of the largest banks in the world — had a hand in intentionally sinking Bear Stearns’ stock and STOLE that company with the help of a $55 billion loan from the Federal Reserve. But before that, Mitchel discusses the news items, below.
