FUCK THE GLOBAL BANKS - WE want what you stole back - the people!

 

Global banks prepare for Basel III rollout on July 1, 2025, borrowing costs expected to rise

 

The financial system is about to undergo a major transformation. The Basel III Endgame regulations, set to begin on July 1, 2025, will increase capital requirements for banks with over $100 billion in assets, forcing them to hold more reserves and limit lending. The Federal Reserve, along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), finalized these reforms in July 2023, marking a new era of financial regulation.

 

The new rules will raise common equity tier 1 capital requirements by 16 percent, affecting large financial institutions that play a critical role in credit markets. Banks will be required to include unrealized gains and losses from securities in their capital ratios, making risk management more stringent.

 

Credit availability is expected to shrink. With banks forced to hold more reserves, lending activity will slow down, particularly in commercial real estate, private equity, and corporate debt markets. Borrowers will likely face higher interest rates, as financial institutions adjust to the new regulatory framework.

 

Global banks are preparing for impact. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has confirmed that most member jurisdictions have finalized their Basel III rules, ensuring a coordinated global rollout. European and Asian banks are already adjusting their balance sheets, anticipating tighter liquidity conditions.

 

The Federal Reserve’s role is crucial. As a member of the BIS, the Fed will enforce these capital requirements, despite pushback from Wall Street. Major banks have lobbied against the reforms, arguing that stricter rules could stifle economic growth. The Treasury Department has advocated for looser regulations, creating a policy conflict that could shape financial markets for years to come.

 

The coming months will reveal the full impact of Basel III. If banks cut back on lending, businesses and consumers could face tighter credit conditions, leading to slower economic expansion. The question remains whether regulators will adjust policies to prevent a credit squeeze or hold firm on financial stability measures.

Japan is collapsing economically

 

Ghost Of Ghosn? New Nissan CEO Pitches Massive Restructuring That Will Slash 15% Of Global Workforce

 

Nissan’s newly minted CEO Ivan Espinosa wasted no time making waves, bluntly admitting at a recent press conference: “The reality is clear. We have a very high cost structure.” He’s not sugar-coating the company’s woes either: “We see that our company is really struggling.”

 

Since taking the reins in April, Espinosa has rolled out a massive restructuring plan, “Re: Nissan,” that slashes 20,000 jobs—15% of its global workforce—and cuts its production capacity by nearly a third, according to Nikkei.

 

“The urgency for us is now to bring stability back into the company,” he insisted. “We are doing [the reform] because it is truly necessary and it is something that is truly painful for us to do, but unfortunately, it is one of the only ways to save our company.”

 

His plan smacks of déjà vu: Carlos Ghosn’s 1999 turnaround saw similar layoffs and plant closures. But Espinosa insists it’s not a Ghosn rip-off: “I think they didn’t imitate or were not conscious of Ghosn’s plan,” said Takaki Nakanishi, a top analyst, adding, “It’s just that their KPIs ended up being similar.”

 

Nikkei writes that unlike Ghosn’s days of a “treasure trove” of competitive products and a helpful yen, Nissan now faces Chinese EV juggernauts, a battered product lineup, and a messy divorce from Renault. “Renault no longer wants Nissan,” Nakanishi deadpanned.

PANIC

 

Retired Rear Admiral Who Served Under Trump Warns of Plans to Politicize Military Justice System

 

A top retired Navy legal official is sounding the alarm over what he sees as a growing and dangerous politicization of the military legal system and the lawyers who run it.

 

In a public talk last week and in an interview with Military.com on Thursday, retired Rear Adm. Jim McPherson warned that the Trump administration and leaders in the Pentagon have politicized the selection process for the top lawyers in all three military branches by going around the traditional selection process and requiring nominees to answer screening questions about specific policies favored by the administration.

 

The warning comes just months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired the top lawyers for the Army and Air Force without explanation. The Navy's top lawyer had resigned shortly after the election in late 2024. McPherson's remarks seem to confirm the fears that legal experts had shortly after the firings.

In a lunchtime address to a group of lawyers at an American Bar Association function, McPherson, whose long career included several top civilian posts in the Pentagon during the first Trump administration, noted Hegseth's remarks to Fox News in the days after the firings.

 

"Ultimately, we want lawyers who give sound constitutional advice and don't exist to attempt to be roadblocks to anything," Hegseth said on the cable news channel in February.

 

Hegseth then went on to note that "traditionally" those top lawyers sometimes known by the abbreviation TJAG for "The Judge Advocate General" have "been elected by each other or chosen by each other … small groups of insulated officers who perpetuate the status quo."

 

"Well, guess what? That status quo hasn't worked very well at the Pentagon. It's time for fresh blood," said Hegseth, a former Fox News host.

 

During his time serving the Pentagon in the first Trump term, McPherson held the posts of under secretary of the Army, general counsel of the Army, and the acting secretary of the Navy.

 

In his address, McPherson pushed back on Hegseth's argument, calling it "misinformed."

 

McPherson, who served as the Navy's judge advocate general in the early 2000s, said that military lawyers are there to "ensure the rule of law and operational environments."

 

"Adherence to the rule of law is essential as a disciplined force for the effective and efficient application of forces and force enabler – they're not roadblocks," he added.

 

However, Hegseth has a long track record of disdain for lawyers and the military justice system.

 

In his last book, the then-Fox News host and commentator wrote that "our adversaries should receive bullets, not lawyers."

 

"If we refuse to do what is necessary, that is precisely why wars become endless," he wrote.

 

In the same book, he also wrote that the Geneva Conventions international treaties governing the humane treatment of prisoners of war and civilians force the U.S. to fight "with one hand tied behind our back."

 

"If our warriors are forced to follow rules arbitrarily and asked to sacrifice more lives so that international tribunals feel better about themselves, are we just better off winning our wars according to our own rules?" he mused in the book.
