May 16, 2013 - Construction work, as part of the 2013
Street Improvement Program, will begin shortly. Knelsen
Rock Products Ltd. was awarded the 2013 contract, which
includes paving of the Pat Hardy School and RCMP parking lots; trail paving; and surface work along Mink Creek
Road (from the 55 Street intersection east for 1.5 kilometres), 41 Avenue (west of Dahl Drive), 34 Avenue (between
Caxton Street and Ravine Drive), and other areas throughout town. Area residents will be informed of construction
work and schedules when they are confirmed.
The 2013 Community Clean Up Program is underway.
Whitecourt Town Council allocated $1,000 to each of the
following groups for 100 hours of clean up undertaken:
• Tae Kwon Do;
• St. Patrick’s Anglican Church;
• Royal Canadian Air Cadets;
• Parent Council for Student Society;
• Whitecourt Social Experience;
• Royal Canadian Army Cadets;
• Pirates of the CUREibbean;
• Tennille’s Hope;
• Whitecourt Scuba Club (Rotary Pond clean up);
• Illusion Dance Studio;
• E.C.H.O. Society.
There is still funding available for community groups
and organizations wishing to participate in the Community Clean Up Program. For more information visit www.
whitecourt.ca.
In preparation for the extension of 33 Street from the
Hilltop East Industrial Area to Athabasca Flats East, approximately 10 acres of road right of way will be cleared.
DCL Siemens Engineering provided preliminary designs
for the construction of 33 Street from 41 Avenue to Flats
Road, and the design identified that a surplus of fill material would be available from the work. Fill material is
currently required on many sites within Whitecourt, and
clearing the site will allow access to the material this summer and fall for development projects.
33 Street will be closed from Highway 43 to the Alliance Pipeline building on Sunday, June 2 from 8:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. for the Fallen 4 Marathon/Relay. The Fallen
4 Marathon is held annually, and there are a number of
events scheduled for the first weekend in June. For more
information visit www.fallen4marathon.com.
Seniors’ Week is June 3 to 9, and there are a number
of events scheduled throughout Whitecourt to celebrate
seniors. For more information on local events, visit www.

Can we avoid a lost generation?
With more and more young people becoming
unemployable, radical measures are needed on
several fronts.
by Norman Bailey, adapted for Canada by Dan Parker. Alberta is currently a
special case regarding employment.
The current issue of The Economist has a cover picture of people
being discharged into a trash dump,
with the headline "Generation Jobless" and the subtitle "The Global
Rise of Youth Unemployment". In the article inside the
magazine it points out that youth unemployment, as reported by official statistical agencies, which undoubtedly miss many of the unemployed, even so totals more
than the population of the United States.
Other recent articles were titled Long-Term Joblessness is a National Emergency (McClatchy newspapers)
and By Any Measure the Jobs Disaster Continues (Wall
Street Journal). It is obvious that this phenomenon is resulting in, and will continue to increasingly result in, a
rising pool of jobless and rootless youth looking for a
means of survival in a world which simply no longer
needs them. A perfect recruiting pool for terrorist and
guerrilla organizations and criminal syndicates. They
will retaliate against a world that does not value them
by destroying that which they perceive as preventing
them from having a meaningful future, or to aiding the
criminal bosses in stealing the results of the productivity
revolution created by others.
With all due respect to the many economists, sociologists, other academics and journalists who have suggested multiple explanations for this extremely dangerous phenomenon, the basic reason is very simple: all
the advances in technology and therefore productivity
in recent years have been increasingly capital-intensive
and therefore decreasingly labor-intensive. Advanced

Bail-out Is Out, Bail-in Is In:
Time for Some
Publicly-Owned Banks
by Ellen Brown
Editor's Note: Canada has the
same general setup as the U.S. one
in regards to the depositors in the
following article. What is more important, Canada is signatory to the
same G20 and other documents that
now allow banks to confiscate the money of their depositors. Where does it end?
“[W]ith Cyprus . . . the game itself changed. By
raiding the depositors’ accounts, a major central bank
has gone where they would not previously have dared.
The Rubicon has been crossed.”
—Eric Sprott, Shree Kargutkar, “Caveat Depositor”
The crossing of the Rubicon into the confiscation of
depositor funds was not a one-off emergency measure
limited to Cyprus. Similar “bail-in” policies are now appearing in multiple countries. (See my earlier articles
here.) What triggered the new rules may have been a
series of game-changing events including the refusal of
Iceland to bail out its banks and their depositors; Bank
of America’s commingling of its ominously risky derivatives arm with its depository arm over the objections
of the FDIC; and the fact that most EU banks are now
insolvent. A crisis in a major nation such as Spain or
Italy could lead to a chain of defaults beyond anyone’s
control, and beyond the ability of federal deposit insurance schemes to reimburse depositors.
The new rules for keeping the too-big-to-fail banks
alive: use creditor funds, including uninsured deposits,
to recapitalize failing banks.

Do we really have a free press?
by Dan Parker
The Community Advisor is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year.
This is somewhat surprising for a
project started on a shoestring that is
heavily critical of the institution that
provides the lifeblood for any publication; which is to say the money
system. This is due in no small part
to supporters who know how important a free media is
to democracy. The truth of the matter is, how money is
created, and who benefits, should be the biggest media
story of our times.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media either misses or
misrepresents the story of the century. It should be pointed out the deception regarding how our money works in
the media is not a reflection on the individuals involved,
but instead an examination of how power systems have
worked since before the beginning of recorded history.
An early example of this dynamic is how a witch doctor
gained power over a tribe by tricking its members. In
modern times, the power system has tricked journalists,
many politicians, most bankers and the general public

Fight Disease or Create Health?
JUNE 2013

Written by Verna Ellis, Health Solutions
We learned from “Goldilocks” in the previous articles that
our medical profession (allopathy) operates in a ‘reductionist’ paradigm and our bodies are holistic. This contradiction
in thought leads to more problems than solutions. James L.
Chestnut, B.Ed., MSc., D.C., says it better than anyone:
The Plant Analogy By James L. Chestnut
Let me give you an analogy so that you can understand.
We can all agree that all living organisms are made up of cells
working together to maintain life. Each organism is in fact an
ecosystem of cells. I like to think of all my patients this way.
I just see ecosystems of cells that are toxic or deficient and my
job is to help them become pure and sufficient. When this occurs the ecosystem naturally goes back to its natural state – homeostasis and health. There are countless examples of this to
prove I am right. Stop smoking and your lungs clear (as long
as you have not exhausted your innate ability to adapt). Stop
polluting rivers and the plants and fish come back. Walk away
from a logged forest for long enough and a forest will return.
The less we intervene in natural ecosystems the healthier they
are – period. When people realize that they are ecosystems
they will stop polluting themselves and start making ecologically friendly or physiologically compatible lifestyle choices.
Back to my analogy. Think of plants. If you had a bunch
of plants that were wilting what would you do? Add drugs and
remove parts? I doubt it. You would ask intelligent questions
such as if the plants were getting enough sunlight. You might
notice that the wilting plants were in the shade and, realizing that these particular plants required a lot of sunlight, you
would intelligently put them in the sun. Well they should all
stop wilting right? Guess what. They all wilted more! If you
were doing a study you would have to conclude that sunlight
made plants worse. But you knew these plants were deficient
in sunlight, how is this possible?
What if they were also deficient in water? Putting a dry
plant in the sun could indeed make it dry out faster couldn’t it?
Ok then, let’s give all the plants water and put them in the sun.
You’re a brilliant clinician! Too bad only a few of the plants
got better. In other words, no significant difference between
water and sunlight and flipping a coin or water and sunlight
and fake water and sunlight. Your study concludes that water
and sunlight has no beneficial effect on wilting plants. Why?
Some of the plants were saved! Sorry, not statistically significantly better than the control group and in the RCT (random
clinical trial) model you must conclude that your intervention
had no effect. How scientific! What a wonderful gold standard!
But wait, you won’t give up. You will also add nutrients
to the soil. Now you have well fed, well watered plants basking in the sun all day. Surely your plants are totally sufficient
now and will thrive. Sorry, only a few get better again. How
is this possible? Your study will be quoted as evidence that
water, sunlight, and food is no good for plants. But we know
for sure plants will die without this stuff! Sorry, we must be
scientific and your RCT study clearly showed that water, nu(Continued on page 11)

Letter to Editor
75 year old seniors should be made
aware that Alberta Transport does not
require them to complete a Simard
MD or Drive Able assessment for the
renewal of their operator's licence.
In 2011 random testing of high profile citizens all actively employed was
carried out in one Alberta community.
All except two failed the Simard MD
including an Alberta Cabinet Minister.
The Redford Government should
not allow private for profit agency to
perpetrate this massive multi-million
dollar scam against our seniors.
Our physicians should not recommend this corrupt protocol.

trients, and sunlight were not any better for plants than fake
water, nutrients, and sunlight.
But if I take healthy plants and take away water, nutrients,
and sunlight they will all die! Wait a minute, did you want
to study healthy plants? That is not within the paradigm of
allopathy because it cannot answer the real important questions of whether or not your intervention improved symptoms
or treated a disease. In allopathy you must evaluate everything
based on these criteria.
By the way, why didn’t your plants all thrive if you gave
them all water, nutrients, and sunlight? They were toxic! Your
neighbor was dumping out his oil in his back yard and it got
into the root systems of your plants!
I hope you see that in order to be healthy and well, in order
to maintain homeostasis, ecosystems have to have sufficiency
in ALL the required nutrients, and purity in ALL aspects of
their environment AT THE SAME TIME, for a period of time!
This is what your patients need, they are ecosystems of cells.
I hope you also realize that in every case it was NOT a
genetic problem with the plants or the cells of the plant ecosystem that was the problem. The problem was the deficient and
toxic environments the plants were in. However, if you studied the genetics of these sick plants you would see different
genes being expressed in the sick plants than in healthy ones.
This is the EFFECT of the deficient and toxic environment,
NOT the CAUSE! Interesting isn’t it?

Regular Meeting of Council. Completion of projects
over the past several months, as well as upcoming initiatives, prompted the review of the concept plan. Some
changes and enhancements to Rotary Park for this year
include: the construction of a new playground south of
the Splash Park; the closure of the central access road
and north east parking lot (which will remain for available maintenance and winter use only); additional picnic
tables, pads, and tree planting; and relocation of trails
adjacent to the pond.
Community Business Beautification Grant funding
has been allocated to the Whitecourt Golf and Country
Club and Super 8 Whitecourt. The grant provides assistance to local businesses and organizations to contribute
to the beautification of the community, and increase the
aesthetic appeal of streets and neighbourhoods.
A development agreement for the second phase of
Riverstone Estates has been approved. The new subdivision includes 30 single family lots.
Council also discussed recent correspondence
from Premier Redford regarding a future hospital for
Whitecourt, and chose to respond with a letter emphasizing that while the Town is pleased that funding for
planning has been included in the 2013/14 Provincial
budget, the Town will continue to press for a scheduled
commitment for a capital project.

This is one of those questions where there is no single right answer. In other words, it depends on how you
use your computer. There a couple of instances where
you would have to keep it on, they are 1: at work – where
your network administrator does a backup or updates at
night 2: if it is acting as a server on a LAN. If you do
not fall into either one of these categories, then you have
a choice about whether or not to leave your machine on.
There are lots of pros and cons for both sides, let’s take
a look at a couple.
The main reason why you might want to turn it off is
cost. A typical PC consumes something like 300 watts.
Now with energy-saving features on most PC’s you can
cut that figure in half. So typically that’s about an extra
100 - 150 per year on your hydro bill for leaving your
PC on.
The argument for leaving your computer on all the
time is that turning it on and off somewhat stresses the

‘Chip creep’ is what they
call it – this used to be a
problem but with today’s
technology this is really
less of an issue. Hardware
has become quite reliable
…. now software that’s a
different story. Booting up
and shutting down are the
most likely times to run
into a problem.
So it comes back to
how often you use your

alike about the true nature of the money system. Those
in financial, media and other careers who do see the light
must keep silent or risk losing their livelihoods.
Hebert Schiller in Culture Inc., summarized how our
critical information sources can be compromised. He
wrote: “It is not necessary to construct a theory of intentional cultural control. In truth, the strength of the control
process rests in its apparent absence. The desired systemic
result is achieved ordinarily by a loose, though effective,
institutional process. It utilizes the education of journalists and other media professionals, built-in penalties and
rewards for doing what is expected, norms presented as
objective rules, and the occasional but telling direct intrusion from above. The main lever is the internalization of
values.” The occasional but telling intrusion from above
can take the form of ‘your story or your job’.
One of the strengths of the current economic deception in the mainstream media is that the ideas put forth
are so silly as to be believed by the majority, simply because most people cannot imagine themselves telling
such whopping lies. This is known as the big lie concept,
or what the American writer Kurt Vonnegut referred to as
‘the capacity to astonish’.

economic ideas about production that were inferior to
what a thriving head of lettuce knew, they were merely
indulging in the big lie technique. Their economic proclamations were so preposterous that they were initially
believed by most of a financially uneducated public who
could not imagine themselves presenting something so
outrageously silly as being factual. Sensible economic
ideas were then presented as being silly, to finish out the
requirements of the big lie technique.
Not to put too long a story on it, but the bank’s trick
of creating money from nothing as debt, at compound
interest has essentially resulted in debt slavery for most
individuals. Banks do not lend the money of their depositors. They create the money out of thin air, subject
to a small capital adequacy requirement imposed by the
Bank of International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland. The bank has created nothing except for a bookkeeping entry, and for this demands repayment of both
principal and compound interest of a debt they have created out of thin air. For the great majority of the people,
even if they do not have any personal debts, they would
be bankrupt if they ever had to pay their share of municipal, provincial and national odious debts and liabilities.
The looming derivatives fraud only adds to this mess.
In heeding the dictum that a problem must be solved
at the level it was created at, this paper has focused on
international finance and largely stayed away from focusing on the national, provincial and local politics that
dominate the mainstream media. However, at these levels there is also a job to be done to bring more transparency, and hence democracy, to the issues of the day. The
mainstream media does a fair job of exposing injustice
here. However, without acknowledging the injustice inherent in the banking system, they cannot do more than
offer band-aid solutions. And in bowing down to the international financial system, the mainstream media must
by rights temper or eliminate deserved criticism on the
part of the local, provincial and national people who are
staunch supporters of the corrupt international situation.
The upshot is that our information sources have become
increasingly compromised at all levels.
As always, the truth will out, and this is taking many
forms. The best options presented do not demonize any
of the players involved, but instead look at the problem
from a systems perspective. Most of the super-elites are
caught in damned if you do, damned if you don’t situations; which results from having a lack of accountable
government at the global level. Still, the solutions must
start at the grassroots level. The old saying think global,
act local, applies equally to our politics in an interconnected world, as it does to the environment.

Mrs. Beatrice Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Thompson
Sr., newlyweds 1920.
3rd, 1924. Mrs. Elmer Nichols died in childbirth at a
nursing home in Westlock. The family, with the help of
the grandmother stayed on the homestead. The mother
and baby were buried in a corner of the yard, and were
the first graves in the present cemetery. Now at the time
of writing, there are many old-timers as well as more
recent members buried there. At the time of her burial
Elmer set out a little spruce tree a little way from the
foot of the graves, the tree is now a tall tribute to the
community at large.
About 1926, settlers began coming in. The closest
store and post office was at Fort Assiniboine, some fourteen miles away, where Billy Combes was storekeeper,
and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Roach had the post office and a
stopping off place. Anyone who went to the Fort brought
back groceries and mail for all the neighbors.
About this time Alex Nickle bought the Anton Holmes place, and his wife, Mary and son, Clarence, moved
into the little log house, but shortly after built a big and
comfortable log house. The district was now settling up
fast, as people were coming in from other places and
were taking up homesteads.
Fern, the eldest Nichols girl had married and moved
to Fawcett. At the same time the Olaf Finsteads, who
now had a baby daughter, moved to Fawcett leaving
their homestead. In July of 1926, Sam Sheren and wife
and baby, his brother, Charles, and their mother came to
the district. In August of that year, Sam traded the car
he had come in to Olaf Finstead for his place, the site
of the old Klondyke City. During this time many settlers had come in, among others were Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Utas and boys, who kept a few groceries at one time,
but soon gave it up. Other settlers were: Mark Robinson and sons, Rex and Billy. Duncan Mclntosh, Mr. and
Grandpa Bennett, 81 years old.

earliest, others came later.
In 1929, Andy Ehl started a little sawmill west of the
settlement, and with the help from the settlement got out
some lumber, most of which was used locally. The settlement had been some eighty miles from Westlock and
the nearest railroad. There wasn't much in the way for
roads, just trails through the bush. so it wasn't easy getting supplies in, or any lumber, or anything out. These
early settlers had hauled their wheat to Westlock with
four horses and a sleigh in the winter time. Some cattle
were driven all the way to Westlock on foot, to market.
The land clearing wasn't very fast as it was all done by
hand and broke with horses.

robotization and 3-D manufacturing; information and
bio-technology wonders, even advanced medical devices
and procedures all require greater investment in capital
and in scientific and technical and managerial skills, and
less and less real demand for labor.
This being the diagnosis, and the prognosis being
starkly pessimistic, what does the prescription look like?
One possibility, remarkably recommended by many
groups that claim to be favorable to the "working class",
is an economy based more and more on government handouts, loans and assistance of all kinds, which will inevitably
tend toward a social structure made up of an underclass, including immigrants, doing menial labor; a permanent and
growing class of what may be called "serfs of the state",
dependent on government income transfers (about sixty
million in the US at this time), a class of well-remunerated
knowledge workers and a small but extremely wealthy
class of owners of productive capital. But this structure
is unsustainable, because society cannot maintain its cost
indefinitely, leading to the kinds of situations seen today
in many of the European Union countries, where "austerity", demanded for bailouts, precisely affects most strongly
those dependent on the state. It should be noted that for the
first time in the history of the radical May-Day demonstrations, so prominent in Europe and elsewhere, such demonstrations were widespread this year in the US.
The only sustainable solution is investment in scientific and technical education to increase the pool of truly
productive knowledge workers, and even more important,
to adopt measures to encourage the spread within society of the ownership of productive capital, about which
I have written several times previously — such things as
employee stock ownership plans and community investment trusts.
Where does Canada stand in this melancholy picture?
Many graduates of our universities end up in McJobs,
with massive debt, and little prospect of meaningful employment.
The other challenge, that of the spread of capital
ownership in society, has scarcely been touched. At one
time the Federal and Provincial Conservative Parties
were more attentive to this obvious solution for creating
smaller government. Federally, the idea was championed
by Winnet Boyd, chief engineer for the most advanced
jet engine in the world at the time. Will the advocates of
smaller government once again see the light?

Advisor Increases Reach
For some time now, the Communicty Advisor has
been the largest circulation print media in town. However, with 4,100 copies being mailed to everyone in
Whitecourt and then 850 being left at area businesses,
there was undoubtedly some duplication.
To reach more people with the important economic
news that only the Advisor is currently publishing, local copies will be matched to that which our competitors find sufficient to cover Whitecourt. With the money
saved here, and some additional investment, copies of
the Advisor will be mailed out to the entire Whitecourt
trading area. This type of distribution is known in the
industry as total market coverage, or TMC. In addition-

al to the local distribution, a total of 3,500 copies will
be mailed out to residents in Blue Ridge, Carrot Creek,
Fox Creek, Fort Assiniboine, Mayerthorpe, Peers, Sanguodo and Swan Hills. These post offices also include
distribution to smaller centres. For example, the Mayerthorpe mailout includes Rochfort Bridge.
The Whitecourt trading area can be measured by
different means, but the figure generally given is 25,000
people, with 10,000 in Whitecourt itself. The designation trading area refers to locales where the people are
likely to come to Whitecourt to shop and play. By following the TMC distribution strategy, the Advisor will
cover the additional 15,000 people in our trading area
and more than double its reach.

In Love and Wondering
Dear Abby, I've never written to you before, but I
really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has
been cheating on me.
The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the
caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the
girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she
always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't
know them."
I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming
home, but she always walks down the drive, although I
can hear a car setting off, as if she has gotten out of the
car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?
I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it
was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never
touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.
Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife.
I think deep down I just didn't want to know the
truth, but last night she went out again and I decided
to really check on her. I decided I was going to park
my Harley Davidson Heritage next to the garage and
then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the
whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my Harley, that I noticed that
the rocker boxes on my engine seem to be leaking a little
oil. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it
back to the dealer? - Thanks, Mike.

But isn’t that theft?
Perhaps, but it’s legal theft. By law, when you put
your money into a deposit account, your money becomes the property of the bank. You become an unsecured creditor with a claim against the bank. Before
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was
instituted in 1934, U.S. depositors routinely lost their
money when banks went bankrupt. Your deposits are
protected only up to the $250,000 insurance limit, and
only to the extent that the FDIC has the money to cover
deposit claims or can come up with it. The question then
is, how secure is the FDIC?
Can the FDIC Go Bankrupt?
In 2009, when the FDIC fund went $8.2 billion in
the hole, Chairwoman Sheila Bair assured depositors
that their money was protected by a hefty credit line
with the Treasury. But the FDIC is funded with premiums from its member banks, which had to replenish the
fund. The special assessment required to do it was crippling for the smaller banks, and that was just to recover
$8.2 billion. What happens when Bank of America or
JPMorganChase, which have commingled their massive derivatives casinos with their depositary arms, is
propelled into bankruptcy by a major derivatives fiasco? These two banks both have deposits exceeding
$1 trillion, and they both have derivatives books with
notional values exceeding the GDP of the world. (emphasis added)
Bank of America Corporation moved its trillions in
derivatives (mostly credit default swaps) from its Merrill Lynch unit to its banking subsidiary in 2011. It did
not get regulatory approval but just acted at the request
of frightened counterparties, following a downgrade by
Moody’s. The FDIC opposed the move, reportedly protesting that the FDIC would be subjected to the risk of

becoming insolvent if BofA were to file for bankruptcy.
But the Federal Reserve favored the move, in order to
give relief to the bank holding company. (Proof positive,
says former regulator Bill Black, that the Fed is working
for the banks and not for us. “Any competent regulator
would have said: ‘No, Hell NO!’”)
The reason this risky move would subject the FDIC
to insolvency is that under the Bankruptcy Reform Act
of 2005, derivatives counter-parties are given preference
over all other creditors and customers of the bankrupt
financial institution, including FDIC insured depositors.
Normally, the FDIC would have the powers as trustee
in receivership to protect the failed bank’s collateral for
payments made to depositors. But the FDIC’s powers
are overridden by the special status of derivatives. (Remember MF Global? The reason its customers lost their
segregated customer funds to the derivatives claimants
was that derivatives have super-priority in bankruptcy.)
The FDIC has only about $25 billion in its deposit
insurance fund, which is mandated by law to keep a balance equivalent to only 1.15 percent of insured deposits.
And the Dodd-Frank Act (Section 716) now bans taxpayer bailouts of most speculative derivatives activities.
Drawing on the FDIC’s credit line with the Treasury to
cover a BofA or JPMorgan derivatives bust would be the

equivalent of a taxpayer bailout, at least if the money
were not paid back; and imposing that burden on the
FDIC’s member banks is something they can ill afford.
BofA is not the only bank threatening to wipe out
the federal deposit insurance funds that most countries
have. According to Willem Buiter, chief economist at
Citigroup, most EU banks are zombies. And that explains
the impetus for the new “bail in” policies, which put the
burden instead on the unsecured creditors, including the
depositors. Below is some additional corroborating research on these new, game-changing bail-in schemes.
Depositors Beware
An interesting series of commentaries starts with
one on the website of Sprott Asset Management Inc. titled “Caveat Depositor,” in which Eric Sprott and Shree
Kargutkar note that the US, UK, EU, and Canada have
all built the new “bail in” template to avoid imposing
risk on their governments and taxpayers. They write:
[M]ost depositors naively assume that their deposits
are 100% safe in their banks and trust them to safeguard
their savings. Under the new “template” all lenders (including depositors) to the bank can be forced to “bail in”
their respective banks.
Dave of Denver then followed up on the Sprott
commentary in an April 3 entry on his blog The Golden
Truth, in which he pointed out that the new template has
long been agreed to by the G20 countries:
Crossword Answer
"Because the use of taxpayer-funded bailouts would
likely no longer be tolerated by the public, a new bank
rescue plan was needed. As it turns out, this new "bailin" model is based on an agreement that was the result
of a bank bail-out model that was drafted by a sub-committee of the BIS (Bank for International Settlement)
and endorsed at a G20 summit in 2011. For those of you
who don't know, the BIS is the global "Central Bank" of
JUNE 2013
Central Banks. As such it is the world's most powerful
financial institution. "
The links are in Dave’s April 1 article, which states:
"The new approach has been agreed at the highest levels . . . It has been a topic under consideration since the
publication by the Financial Stability Board (a BIS committee) of a paper, Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions in October 2011,
which was endorsed at the Cannes G20 summit the
following month. This was followed by a consultative
document in November 2012, Recovery and Resolution
Planning: Making the Key Attributes Requirements Operational."
Dave goes on: "[W]hat is commonly referred to as a
"bail-in" in Cyprus is actually a global bank rescue model that was derived and ratified nearly two years ago.
. . . [B]ank deposits in excess of Government insured
amount in any bank in any country will be treated like
unsecured debt if the bank goes belly-up and is restructured in some form."
Jesse at Jesse’s Café Americain then picked up the
thread and pointed out that it is not just direct deposits that are at risk. The too-big-to-fail banks have commingled accounts in a web of debt that spreads globally.
Stock brokerages keep their money market funds in overnight sweeps in TBTF banks, and many credit unions do
their banking at large TBTF correspondent banks: "You
say you have money in a pension fund and an IRA at
XYZ bank? Oops, it is really on deposit in you-knowwho's bank. You say you have money in a brokerage account? Oops, it is really being held overnight in their
TBTF bank. Remember MF Global? Who can say how
far the entanglements go? The current financial system
and market structure is crazy with hidden risk, insider
dealings, control frauds, and subtle dangers."

JUNE 2013
William Buiter, writing in the UK Financial Times
in March 2009, defended the bail-in approach as better
than the alternative. But he acknowledged that the “unsecured creditors” who would take the hit were chiefly
“pensioners drawing their pensions from pension funds
heavily invested in unsecured bank debt and owners of
insurance policies with insurance companies holding
unsecured bank debt,” and that these unsecured creditors “would suffer a large decline in financial wealth and
disposable income that would cause them to cut back
sharply on consumption.”
The deposits of U.S. pension funds are well over the
insured limit of $250,000. They will get raided just as
the pension funds did in Cyprus, and so will the insurance companies. Who else?
Most state and local governments also keep far more
on deposit than $250,000, and they keep these revenues
largely in TBTF banks. Community banks are not large
enough to service the complicated banking needs of
governments, and they are unwilling or unable to come
up with the collateral that is required to secure public
funds over the $250,000 FDIC limit.
The question is, how secure are the public funds in
the TBTF banks? Like the depositors who think FDIC
insurance protects them, public officials assume their
funds are protected by the collateral posted by their
depository banks. But the collateral is liable to be long
gone in a major derivatives bust, since derivatives claimants have super-priority in bankruptcy over every other
claim, secured or unsecured, including those of state and
local governments.
The Cyprus Wakeup Call
Robert Teitelbaum wrote in a May 2011 article titled
“The Case Against Favored Treatment of Derivatives”:
". . . Dodd-Frank did not touch favored status [of
derivatives] and despite all the sound and fury, . . . there
are very few signs from either party that anyone with
any clout is suddenly about to revisit that decision and
simplify bankruptcy treatment. Why? Because for all
its relative straightforwardness compared to more difficult fixes, derivatives remains a mysterious black box to
most Americans . . . . [A]s the sense of urgency to reform
passes . . . we return to a situation of technical interest
to only a few, most of whom have their own particular
self-interest in mind."
But that was in 2011, before the Cyprus alarm bells

In May, Whitecourt and District Public Library
unveiled the theme of its 2013 Teen Summer Reading
Club (TSRC). Based on the popular TV Series, “Mythbusters,” participants between the ages of 10 and 16 will
be asked to confirm or bust a variety of myths throughout the summer.
Starting July 8th, 2013, weekly myths will be
presented on-line through a special Facebook page, WDPLibrary TSRC. Participants can share their results with
each other and upload photos or videos of their busted
or confirmed myths on Whitecourt and District Public
Library’s TSRC Facebook page.
Participants will also be able to attend a weekly
Mythbuster Night at the Library, where each myth will
be performed on a larger scale. Authentic Mythbusters
prizes will be given away, courtesy Beyond International, the production company of the TV Show. Participants
will have the chance to win official Mythbusters Gear,
autographed photos of the cast and more now on display
at the Library.

went off. It is time to pry open the black box, get educated, and get organized. Here are three things that need
to be done for starters:
•
•
•
Protect depositor funds from derivative raids by
repealing the super-priority status of derivatives.
Separate depository banking from investment
banking by repealing the Commodity Futures
Modernization Act of 2000 and reinstating the
Glass-Steagall Act.
Protect both public and private revenues by establishing a network of publicly-owned banks,
on the model of the Bank of North Dakota.
