Pam and Russ Martens: Fed's emergency repo loans to Wall Street didn't stop -- they just went dark

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee, the House Financial Services Committee, and the U.S. mainstream business media now thoroughly qualify as the dumb tourists snapping photos of the raging bull statue on Wall Street as the Wall Street banks loot the country for the second time in a decade.

Last Thursday the Financial Stability Oversight Council (pronounced F-SOC) released its 2020 Annual Report. Those tend to be tediously boring reports that tell one nothing meaningful about the true state of the Wall Street mega banks so we just got around to perusing the document yesterday.

VanGold Clears Pinguico Shaft to Adit Level 7
at Mexico's El Pinguico Silver, Gold Project

Company Announcement
Tuesday, December 8, 2020

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- VanGold Mining Corp. announces that it has completed clearing the Pinguico shaft to adit Level 7 at its El Pinguico silver and gold project, located 7 kilometers south of Guanajuato, Mexico.

The company has cleared fallen rocks and debris to adit Level 7 to access this area of the El Pinguico mine. This shaft was one of three exterior shafts that were used historically at the mine before production ended in 1913.

VanGold Director Hernan Dorado Smith said: "The importance of having access to Level 7 from the Pinguico shaft cannot be overstated. This is the first time in decades that this area of the mine -- the highest-grade mine in the Guanajuato region when it was in production -- has been accessible for exploration and development. We are very excited about sampling the bottom of the underground stockpile to improve and verify our understanding of the overall grade of that material. We are equally excited to sample the remaining vein material left in support pillars at this location (including areas of the Colmillo Stope) when mining ceased in 1913." ...

Mixed in with the typical snooze-worthy minutiae was a bombshell that made us sit up straight in our chair. Those cumulative repo loans totaling more than $9 trillion to the trading houses on Wall Street that the Fed had been making from September 17, 2019 -- months before the onset of COVID-19 anywhere in the world -- didn’t actually stop in July as the daily data from the Fed made it seem.

The New York Fed simply went dark and stopped reporting how many billions of dollars a week it was funneling to miscreant mega banks on Wall Street as food pantry lines grew by miles across the U.S. and 3.3 million small businesses were forced to shutter. ...
