I just found another person covering this Dallas-Fed-TBTF story:
Matt Taibbi
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/with-blistering-dallas-fed-report-ending-too-big-to-fail-goes-mainstream-20120329

I’ve tried to sign up twice, but the site never sent me the email to register.

I’m not sure if it’s a problem with the site, or a problem with my email address (which is a gmail address and Google is decidely anti-anonymous).

I’ve seen several people pick up on this story.

Cathy Consoli and Robert Reich:

…and the Daily Bell, of course, as you know.

…and blogger George Washington, who posted it on his own blog before cross-posting it on the ever-cynical ZeroHedge:
http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2012-12-23/federal-reserve-bank-dallas-calls-immediate-break-giant-insolvent-banks

The interesting part was when Tyler Durden stopped scanning headlines and making new blog posts long enough to reply to George Washington:

…here we see that ZH ran this (same) story in 2010, when it generated some temporary discussion but no real results, and so Tyler is not going to be holding his breath on this one.

from 2010:

. . .

Nice to see Daily Bell taking this story in a likewise skeptical direction.

The great strength of individualism (an atomistic social order where the individual holds ultimate sovereignty) is that any counter revolution to an imposed social order where the State is boss, can take a million roads and a million forms.

”No one is going to create an anti-Order movement. That would be foolish and unnecessary. It could be infiltrated, bought off, or diverted all too easily. Much too easily. Why play by the rules set by the enemy?

The movement that will topple The Order will be extremely simple and most effective. It will be ten thousand or a million Americans who come to the conclusion that they don’t want the State to be boss, that they prefer to live under the protection of the Constitution. They will make their own independent decision to thwart The Order, and it will take ten thousand or a million forms.

The only weakness is communication. The Order has so wrecked education that reading comprehension is difficult for many — that’s part of the brainwashing program.

that was really funny, lol

Hello Cathy.

Here is some friendly advice from my experience.

This YouTube video and the channel it comes from seems to be related to the information of Ben Fulford.

I’ve followed Ben Fulford out of curiosity since 2010.

At first I thought he was mostly for real. Now I think he’s mostly fake. This is because his weekly stories seem to be consistently fabulations — made up.

This blogger always puts his weekly (pay-walled) stories up for free:
Benjamin Fulford 3-26-12…"Over 200 senior bankers arrested last week as new financial system goes online"… "Overall, things are looking very good"

Back in the time when I was not sure if I should believe him or not, I made this to help me see his stories all together in one place:
https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1l1dxQCOv2DuIp8RHIVA7DiseOTyM5Cys6kXUWUzYrrY

I stopped updating it December 2011, but I still check on his reports every week.

It’s a long pattern of making up stories out of data-points from the conspiracy-sphere of the internet and then selling them to his gullible subscribers who never wise up to the fact that almost nothing he says ever comes true or can be verified. When you read his subscribers’ comments to any of his weekly reports, you can see how gullible almost all of them are.

I really hate debating peak oil.

People argue around in circles and never convince each other.

My points still stand. New discoveries aren’t keeping up with demand. They aren’t even keeping up with the global production peak. We are past-peak oil. This leads to a world in which oil is rationed by the people at the top. Even if oil can be abiotic, what really matters is delivering it in excess of demand.

I’m talking about real power, real control, real ability to deliver oil to people and institutions who demand it. We don’t have that power — a cabal of intelligence spooks and capitalist elitists do. They are taking over the infrastructure of everything.

Maybe Peak Oil is just an fake story invented for them to justifiably start rationing it. But the fact is we are all too passive about getting our oil needs supplied to us. So Peak Oil is a reality, right now, until we actually start producing more, instead of less, as we have been on a global basis.

It would be a good place to start by implementing Mr. Pogue’s carburetor on our vehicles by whatever means it takes on an individual basis — because we know that there are monopolistic businesses out there that will not bring this to us on a mass basis — at least not until we are begging for 200mpg because gasoline costs $20 per gallon. The point is you have to be active and empowered on on individual or local community basis — because far-off powers are not interested in empowering you at all.

Even if peak oil is a myth, I don’t know how to actually provision oil, and I don’t know any one who does.

It seems we are dependent on the people who bring and provide oil.

If we are told by the oil mafia/cartel that they can’t discover, develop, and deliver enough oil for the first-world nations to keep growing or even to meet existing demand, then the first-world nations better figure out if they are telling the truth or not.

This is beside the fact that we ought to be concerned about the standards of living for non-first-world nations.

Right now it seems we are living at or past Peak Oil, because global supply levels are stagnant / plateaued and oil demand is dropping (being destroyed) because people don’t have enough money to demand more in the aggregate.

If you don’t believe in Peak Oil, then you had better find someone who can start delivering it in gluts again.

I believe we have transitioned from an era in which producers could develop and deliver oil in excess of demand to an era in which producers can never develop and deliver oil in excess of demand — and this difference will be brutal. No longer will oligarchs use oil to make medicines, agriculture, transportation, and space-age plastic polymers for the un-needed masses of people. They will just use the oil to make those things for the people who serve their needs and their agenda. This is easy to arrange as they always have enough money (new money and old money) to influence and direct the key business and political institutions of the global economy to follow their agenda.

Everyone who doesn’t serve the agenda will have to learn to do without the wealth that comes from working for the economic central planners — just as the third-world peoples historically have.
