The Federal Reserve has conducted stress tests on the United StatesÂ’ major banks. The results are ugly, and they donÂ’t want you to know about it yet. They wonÂ’t even admit they have the results, but they do, and now so do we. Here is the best update available today on the status of the banking system collapse that has been occurring for the last several months, and is on the verge of its final plummet.

On April 10th, Bloomberg reported,

The U.S. Federal Reserve has told Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and other banks to keep mum on the results of “stress tests” that will gauge their ability to weather the recession, people familiar with the matter said.

The Fed wants to ensure that the report cards donÂ’t leak during earnings conference calls scheduled for this month. Such a scenario might push stock prices lower for banks perceived as weak and interfere with the governmentÂ’s plan to release the results in an orderly fashion later this month.

However, the U.S. Treasury issued a statement this morning claiming they do not yet have the results of the Stress Tests.

Turner Radio Network, which released a Department of Homeland Security (DH memo calling military veterans a domestic security risk days before the mainstream media, released yesterday a leaked outline of the Treasury/Fed Stress Test results:
1) Of the top nineteen (19) banks in the nation, sixteen (16) are already technically insolvent.

2) Of the 16 banks that are already technically insolvent, not even one can withstand any disruption of cash flow at all or any further deterioration in non-paying loans.

3) If any two of the 16 insolvent banks go under, they will totally wipe out all remaining FDIC insurance funding.

4) Of the top 19 banks in the nation, the top five (5) largest banks are under capitalized so dangerously, there is serious doubt about their ability to continue as ongoing businesses.

5) Five large U.S. banks have credit exposure related to their derivatives trading that exceeds their capital, with four in particular - JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, HSBC Bank America and Citibank - taking especially large risks.

6) Bank of America`s total credit exposure to derivatives was 179 percent of its risk-based capital; Citibank`s was 278 percent; JPMorgan Chase`s, 382 percent; and HSBC America`s, 550 percent. It gets even worse: Goldman Sachs began reporting as a commercial bank, revealing an alarming total credit exposure of 1,056 percent, or more than ten times its capital!

7) Not only are there serious questions about whether or not JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs,Citibank, Wells Fargo, Sun Trust Bank, HSBC Bank USA, can continue in business, more than 1,800 regional and smaller institutions are at risk of failure despite government bailouts!

Turner Radio Network also comments:
The debt crisis is much greater than the government has reported. The FDIC`s “Problem List” of troubled banks includes 252 institutions with assets of $159 billion. 1,816 banks and thrifts are at risk of failure, with total assets of $4.67 trillion, compared to 1,568 institutions, with $2.32 trillion in total assets in prior quarter.

Put bluntly, the entire US Banking System is in complete and total collapse.

Further, the Wall Street Journal reported today that lending by the country’s largest banks has declined 23% since the federal government began releasing TARP “bailout” funds to them. Congress did nothing to help restore lending–as they said they would. They only prolonged the inevitable. If/when two of the major banks go under, the FDIC will not be able to handle the ensuing domino collapse of other banks. Will Congress and the President be able to get more money into FDIC before millions of people realize their money is gone, freak out, and give the government a reason to instate martial law?
