Actions taken by Medvedev and Putin to improve business and public confidence on Dec. 17, 2014, as the ruble hits 80 to the dollar
12/17/2014
As one Russian economic expert put it we are just days from needing external help if no serious action is taken to restore public and business confidence in the ruble. On Dec. 17, 2014, Russian leaders took action to improve confidence and the ruble recovered by 11%. The role of Kudrin, Medvedev, and other advisers from the first and second terms of Putin is increasing as Russia faces increasing economic risks and deep recession.

How the U.S. Justice Department used the 1989 Financial Institutions Recovery, Reform and Enforcement Act of 1989 to collect $37 billion from banks for improper packaging of mortgage securities
12/19/2014
The improper packaging of mortgage securities led to the 2008 financial crisis which exacerbated income disparities in the U.S., led to millions of home foreclosures, major auto bankruptcies and a global crisis. For five years till 2013 no major settlements were made and Democrats in Congress pushed for action from the Obama administration. In 2013 the U.S. Justice Department after a year of preparation used the Firrea Act of 1989 designed to address the S&L crisis as a way to get the banks to settle. Firrea had provisions for damage to financial institutions with huge penalties and an extended time period into the future. A memo at JP Morgan by staff warning about the dangers of the securties caught the eye of a prosecutor in the Fresno office, leading to it being taken up in Justice Department meetings, and ending with instructions from Mr. West to use this as a focus of investigations for all banks. investigations.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
