MaliaJYy - Jika perbahasan hutang siling Amerika Syarikat melepasi detik jam sebelas, dan lalai ekonomi terbesar di DUNIA menjadi kenyataan, yang membawa bank-bank pusat di seluruh DUNIA sedang menyiapkan diri untuk mengurangkan kerugian dan memastikan fungsi ekonomi DUNIA.

Ikut Terkini LIVE (LIVE UPDATES) RT mengenai krisis
bajet Amerika Syarikat

Jika undang-undang Amerika Syarikat tidak mencapai kata sepakat bajet dan menaikkan hutang siling pada Khamis Oktober 17, Amerika Syarikat akan menjadi kuasa Barat pertama yang lalai seperti Nazi Jerman pada tahun 1933, dan akan menghantar pasaran ke wilayah ‘Uncharted’.

Selebihnya DUNIA sedang bersiap sedia untuk apa yang akan berlaku jika rang undang-undang tersebut ditolak, dan inci Amerika Syarikat dekat dengan tidak membayar hutang, yang sebahagian besarnya adalah asing dipegang dalam bentuk Bon Perbendaharaan Amerika Syarikat.

Bank-bank pusat telah mula bersedia untuk senario kes terburuk jika Amerika Syarikat tidak bersalah, yang akan mengakibatkan penurunan nilai serius bon Perbendaharaan, bayaran lewat, dan versi yang lebih besar-besaran penutupan kerajaan sekarang.

“Oleh kerana pada masa lalu ia sentiasa diselesaikan sememangnya bukan alasan untuk gagal berbuat perancangan luar jangka,” Jon Cunliffe, yang akan menjadi Bank Timbalan Gabenor England bagi kestabilan kewangan pada bulan November, kata ahli parlimen UK.

 “Saya menjangkakan Bank of England untuk merancang untuk itu [lalai Amerika Syarikat]. Saya harapkan ‘actors’ sektor swasta untuk berbuat demikian, dan di negara-negara lain juga, “kata Cunliffe, yang mengakui lalai sebagai” risiko utama kepada [global] sistem kewangan”.

Bank Pusat Eropah dan Bank Rakyat China (PBC) telah melanda perjanjian yang bergerak kedua-dua bank lebih jauh dari orbit dolar. Kedua-dua bank bersetuju untuk ‘menukar’ $56 billion bernilai yuan untuk $60.8 billion bernilai euro.

Banyak bank-bank pusat mempunyai rizab dalam bentuk Dana Kekayaan Sovereign , yang juga berisiko jika mungkir Amerika Syarikat, kerana banyak aset dipegang dalam dolar. Kenderaan-kenderaan ini pelaburan boleh dilumpuhkan oleh lalai. China dianggarkan lebih daripada $1.3 trillion - terbesar di DUNIA.

Peralihan bersejarah

Neil Mackinnon, bekas UK rasmi Perbendaharaan, memberitahu RT tango lalai Amerika Syarikat menandakan satu perubahan dalam paradigma ekonomi global, dari Barat ke Timur.

Jika Amerika Syarikat tidak bertindak segera,” dolar akan merosot dan kepentingannya akan berpindah ke sistem mata wang berbilang kutub dan mata wang lain akan mengambil di atas kapal lebih penting,” kata MacKinnon.

Pada hujung minggu, pemimpin ekonomi dari seluruh dunia bertemu di Washington DC pada mesyuarat tahunan Tabung Kewangan Antarabangsa. Pengarah urusan dana, Christine LaGarde, mengeluarkan amaran keras sistem kewangan global boleh memasuki kemelesetan jika Amerika Syarikat terlepas tarikh akhir hutangnya.

Senat Amerika Syarikat berkata, mereka akan mengumumkan perjanjian untuk menamatkan penutupan dan melanjutkan siling hutang pada hari Selasa, yang akan melalui ke House, di mana ia akan menghadapi keras lawan Obama Republikan yang mahu mengurangkan pembiayaan Akta Penjagaan Mampu.

Pemimpin Majoriti Senat, Harry Reid, seorang Demokrat, mengatakan Selasa mempunyai potensi untuk menjadi “hari cerah” dan membawa tenang kembali ke pasaran global.

Plan B: Central banks getting ready for financial Armageddon

If the US debt-ceiling debate goes past the eleventh hour, and the default of the world’s largest economy becomes a reality, leading central banks around the world are gearing up to minimize losses and keep the world economy functioning.

Follow RT's LIVE UPDATES on the US budget crisis

If US lawmakers don’t reach a budget consensus and raise the debt ceiling by Thursday October 17, the US will become the first Western power to default since Nazi Germany in 1933, and will send markets into uncharted territory.

The rest of the world is bracing itself for what would happen if the bill is rejected, and the US inches closer to defaulting on its debts, which are largely foreign- held in the form of US Treasury Bonds.

Central banks have begun preparing for the worst-case scenario if US does fault, which would result in a serious devaluation of Treasury bonds, delayed payments, and a more large-scale version of the current government shutdown.

“Because in the past it’s always been sorted out is absolutely not a reason to fail to do the contingency planning,” Jon Cunliffe, who will become the Bank of England’s deputy governor for financial stability in November, told UK lawmakers.

“I would expect the Bank of England to be planning for it [US default]. I’d expect private-sector actors to be doing that, and in other countries as well,” said Cunliffe, who acknowledged a default as “the main risk to the [global] financial system”.

The European Central Bank and the People’s Bank of China (PBC) have struck a deal that moves both banks farther from the dollar orbit. The two banks agreed to ‘swap’ $56 billion worth of yuan for $60.8 billion worth of euros.

Many central banks have reserves in the form of Sovereign Wealth Funds, which are also at risk if the US defaults, as many of the assets are held in dollars. These investment vehicles could be crippled by a default. China’s is estimated at more than $1.3 trillion - the world’s largest.

A historic shift

Neil Mackinnon, a former UK Treasury official, told RT the US default tango marks a shift in the global economic paradigm, from West to East.

If the US doesn’t act soon, “the dollar will decline and its importance will move to a multi-polar currency system and other currencies will take on board more importance,” said Mackinnon.

Over the weekend, economic leaders from around the world met in Washington DC at the International Monetary Fund’s annual meeting. The fund’s managing director, Christine LaGarde, issued a harsh warning the global financial system could enter a recession if the US misses its debt deadline.

The US Senate said they will announce a deal to end the shutdown and extend the debt ceiling on Tuesday, which will pass through to the House, where it will face Obama’s hard-nosed Republican opponents who want to cut funding of the Affordable Care Act.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said Tuesday has the potential to be a “bright day” and bring calm back to the global markets.


London to become Chinese Offshore banking centre

MaliaJYy - Britain telah melonggarkan peraturan yang ketat bagi bank-bank Cina bersedia untuk melabur di London. Beijing pula membuka pasaran kepada pelabur yang berpangkalan di Britain, menandakan langkah terbaru untuk menubuhkan yuan sebagai salah satu mata wang utama di DUNIA.

“Sebuah negara yang besar seperti China perlu mempunyai mata wang global,” kata UK menteri kewangan , George Osborne, semasa 5 hari lawatan rasmi ke China. Dan UK adalah dengan senang hati bersedia untuk menyumbang” melalui pusat antarabangsa kewangan : London”

Di bawah program perintis bersetuju, China dibenarkan pelabur yang berpangkalan di London untuk membeli sehingga 80 bilion yuan ($13.1 billion) daripada saham, bon dan instrumen pasaran wang secara langsung , mengelakkan Hong Kong transaksi, laporan Reuters.

Sementara itu, Britain akan membenarkan bank-bank China membuka cawangan borong di London, memudahkan peraturan-peraturan negara telah dikenakan selepas krisis kewangan tercetus. Sejak tahun 2008, Britain telah menegaskan bahawa pemberi pinjaman yang paling asing harus menubuhkan operasi UK mereka sebagai “anak-anak” dan bukannya cawangan, yang menyediakan perlindungan yang lebih besar bagi pendeposit dan pembayar cukai. Peraturan yang kurang akan disambut oleh peminjam Cina yang sentiasa mengadu kaedah yang dibuat sukar untuk beroperasi di Britain, mendorong mereka untuk bergerak banyak perniagaan mereka ke Luxembourg.

Selain itu, London dan Beijing akan perdagangan yuan berbanding dolar secara langsung, mengelakkan dolar.

“Mata wang China, renminbi, tidak terlalu terkenal di Britain pada masa ini. Tetapi sepanjang hayat saya, saya fikir ia akan menjadi hampir biasa seperti dolar, dan saya mahu perniagaan British yang terlibat dalam perdagangan itu, melabur di dalamnya,” Osborne memberitahu BBC televisyen di China.

Pada masa akaun London untuk 62 peratus daripada dagangan yuan di luar China dan Hong Kong, menurut data daripada pembekal perkhidmatan kewangan SWIFT. Langkah terbaru ini akan memberi kesan renminbi yang lebih kukuh di Eropah dan menguatkan platform London untuk membangunkan RM (renminbi) pasaran bon luar pesisir.

Menurut ramalan HSBC, dalam tempoh 5 tahun 1/3 daripada jumlah perdagangan China akan berada di yuan, yang akan membuat ia ditukar sepenuhnya dan meningkatkan ke dalam top 3 mata wang pertukaran. Menurut data yang dikumpul oleh Bloomberg, yuan telah mengukuh 36% peratus berbanding dolar dan 47% peratus berbanding pound sejak 2005.

London to become Chinese offshore banking centre

Britain has relaxed stringent rules for Chinese banks willing to set up in London. Beijing in turn opened up its markets to British-based investors, marking the latest move to establish the yuan as one of the world’s key currencies.

“A great nation like China should have a global currency,” said UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, during his official five day visit to China. And the UK is gladly willing to contribute “through the international center of finance: London”.

Under the agreed pilot program, China sanctioned London-based investors to buy up to 80 billion yuan ($13.1 billion) of stocks, bonds and money market instruments directly, avoiding Hong Kong transactions, Reuters reports.

Meanwhile, Britain will let Chinese banks set up wholesale branches in London, easing regulations the country had imposed after the financial crisis broke out. Since 2008, Britain has insisted that most foreign lenders should set up their UK operations as "subsidiaries" rather than branches, which provides greater protection for depositors and taxpayers. Less regulation will be welcomed by Chinese lenders who have always complained the rules made it hard to operate in Britain, prompting them to move much of their business to Luxembourg.

On top of that, London and Beijing will trade the yuan against the dollar directly, avoiding the dollar.

"The Chinese currency, the renminbi, is not terribly well known in Britain at the moment. But over my lifetime I think it's going to become almost as familiar as the dollar, and I want British businesses involved in trading it, investing in it," Osborne told BBC television in China.

Currently London accounts for 62 percent of yuan trades outside China and Hong Kong, according to data from financial services provider SWIFT. The latest move will give the renminbi a firmer footprint in Europe and strengthen London's platform to develop the offshore RM (renminbi) bond market.

According to an HSBC forecast, within 5 years a third of China’s total trade will be in yuan, which will make it fully convertible and elevate it into the top 3 exchange currencies. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, the yuan has already strengthened 36 percent against the dollar and 47 percent versus the pound since 2005.

ission Of Dajjal-Antichrist: Israel Super Power & Ruling State Of the WORLD


MaliaJYy - Mission of Dajjal-Antichrist: Israel Super Power & Ruling State Of the WORLD: Sheikh Imran Hosein Rahmatullahi 'alaih. In a Friday interview, Mark Glenn, from The Crescent and Cross Solidarity movement, lashed out at Israel for its nuclear stockpile, saying Tel Aviv is the only regime that "has threatened to take the entire world down in a nuclear Armageddon (Malhama) in the instance that her precious experiments in Jewish self-rule in the Middle East ceases to materialize."

"There is no other country in existence today that has basically told the entire world that if we are going to go down we are going to take the rest of the world down with us," he added.

Even Israel's most prominent military professor, Martin Van Creveld, has once alluded to such nuclear ambitions by Israel and confirmed that Tel Aviv has several hundred atomic warheads and rockets targeted at all directions - mostly at European capitals - and that Tel Aviv is ready to take the entire world down before the regime itself ceases to exist, Glenn pointed out.

The analyst expressed regret that the nuclear threat from Israel looms over the WORLD, while Tel Aviv continues to use its mainstream media outlets to level allegations against other countries, accusing them of possessing non-civilian nuclear programs.

Israel is widely believed to be the sole possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Tel Aviv began building its first plutonium and uranium processing facility, Dimona, in the Negev desert in 1958.

Former US President Jimmy Carter has stated that Israel has a nuclear arsenal that includes between 200 and 300 warheads. Decades of recurrent reporting and aerial footage have also established the possession of atomic arms by Israel.

Under its official policy of nuclear ambiguity, Tel Aviv neither confirms nor denies the possession of nukes and refuses to join the (NPT) or allow inspections of its nuclear facilities.
