Why Bernanke Is in Panic Mode

Gary North reports:
the Federal Reserve has bailed out the biggest banks and has let over 50 little ones die. This is crony capitalism at its most notorious.

The threat is that Congress will discover what should be obvious: the biggest banks last October almost went bankrupt. Bernanke and Paulson admitted this to Congressional leaders. This is how they got the leaders to authorize the Treasury bailout. This is why the FED swapped marketable Treasury debt for unmarketable toxic debt at face value with the biggest banks.

Which banks? The FED refuses to say.
You'll want to read this one.
