Word is out that Deutsche Bank not only failed the US Stress Test but also had many warnings from internal risk management that were ignored.
Here's a few articles:
Deutsche Bank Fails US Stress Test

Former Chief Warned Deustsche Bank on Stress Tests
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/12/us-usa-deutschebank-emails-idUSKBN0M81VH20150312
At first glance...there is nothing we haven't heard here. So what? Just another bankster who mad a bad boo-boo and now will have to pay a fine.
But Deutsche Bank is no ordinary Bankster. Deutsche Bank is the HOLDER of MOTHERLOAD of Derivatives at upwards of $75 Trillion!!!
Elephant in the Room: Deutsche Banks $75 Trillion in Derivatives is 20x Greater than German GDP
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-04-28/elephant-room-deutsche-banks-75-trillion-derivatives-20-times-greater-german-gdp
Of course, the Derivative Bubble won't pop unless SOMETHING happens in the real world so Deutsche Bank has no worries at all...right? It's not like they are invested in any areas that are struggling...are they? It's not like they don't know what's going to happen in Greece, Italy, Spain...etc. They must be long gone from those risky countries - Right?
Not according to Standard & Poors report in August 2014...
"Deutsche Bank carries larger exposures to the so-called eurozone periphery than many peers, largely due to its retail and commercial banking subsidiaries in Italy and Spain as well as positions taken by its investment bank. Based on the country of domicile of the primary counterparty, its aggregate net credit risk exposure to Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain was €42.4 billion at June 30, 2014."
So now you can go to sleep easily and not worry about the Global Financial System melting down...at least until Monday.
Goodnight.
May the Road you choose be the Right Road.

‘Thank you for your service’: WWII Vet’s Restaurant Tab Picked Up By Anonymous Steakhouse Patron
‘THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE’: WWII VET’S RESTAURANT TAB PICKED UP BY ANONYMOUS STEAKHOUSE PATRON

The family of a naval veteran was pleasantly surprised after the bill for a recent meal came back paid in full.
Last month, 92-year-old WWII vet Bob Nieman and his family celebrated his birthday at their local Outback Steakhouse restaurant in Sebring, Florida.
Upon completion of the meal, Bob’s son, also named Bob, says their waiter informed them that another customer had picked up the tab.

“Thank you for your service! -Very Grateful Americans,” reads a message written to Nieman by the anonymous patrons on a copy of their receipt.

“I wheeled my dad in & sat him down as I usually do,” the younger Bob described in a statement toOpposing Views.
“I noticed this 1 couple across from us watching [and] 10 minutes later they were gone. Thinking no more about it we started offing our food with the waiter as we were doing so he said to all of us, ‘Don’t Worry about the bill it’s already been taken [care] of because of this man service to our country.’ My dad was at the time wearing his Lexington Hat like he always does started beaming from ear to ear. My mom asked who did this & the waiter said, ‘Don’t worry they already left but they wanted to make sure you all were taken care of.’ Me being the ex-cop I am had to know and pressed him some more. ‘It wasn’t the couple sitting at that table?’ I asked, ‘the couple I noticed earlier?’ He told me yes, it was…how did I know? ‘Just a good guess, I said.’”
Nieman served as plankowner on the USS Lexington CV 16 during the second World War “and was taken off by a medical ship in 1944 when he was the only surviving member of his gun crew that was not killed by a Kamikaze that hit his gun turret,” according to Nieman’s son, who also provided photos of his father.

Second Amendment Activists Force ATF To Shelve Obama Ammo Ban
80,000 Americans bombard government with complaints
Steve Watson
Prisonplanet.com
March 11, 2015
The ATF says it is shelving a proposed ban on ‘green tip’ ammunition after a deluge of critical feedback, highlighting that the move would be highly unpopular with Americans.
The federal agency said Tuesday that the President’s planned executive action to prohibit bullets for AR-15 hunting rifles will not go ahead. The ATF says that over 80,000 comments were received on the proposal. Most viewed the move negatively.
“The vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework, and include issues that deserve further study,” the agency said in a statement. “Accordingly, ATF will not at this time seek to issue a final framework.”
The agency took to social media, declaring “You spoke, we listened.” The public comment period still had another week to run, and was to end Monday.
The ATF added that it will “further evaluate the issues raised” during the comment process, and that it will provide an “additional open and transparent process” before taking any further action. However, it did not explain would that would entail.
The announcement comes directly on the heels of a majority in both the Senate and House, 52 senators, 238 House members, declaring their opposition to the proposed ban.
In a letter, the senators cited the fact that the 5.56 M855 ammo has never been perceived to be a threat to law enforcement, and is merely popular in hunting circles.
The lawmakers also expressed a fear that the Obama administration is paving the way for a more general gun control agenda.
“If law-abiding gun owners cannot obtain rifle ammunition, or face substantial difficulty in finding ammunition available and at reasonable prices because government entities are banning such ammunition, then the Second Amendment is at risk,” the letter signed by the senators states.
Gun rights activists and Constitutionalists hailed the government back down as a victory.
“The strength of people who support and take their Second Amendment rights seriously has never been stronger,” said Larry Keane, senior vice president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. “I frankly don’t think ATF had much choice in the matter. It was clear that Congress was not going to let it go forward.”
“Today’s announcement proves what we have said all along — this was 100 percent political,” said Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association. “Obama failed to pass gun control through Congress, so he tried [to] impose his political agenda through executive fiat.”
“This is a win for not only America’s gun owners, but everyone who supports the Constitution, because if the president can undermine a fundamental freedom such as this, then he can undermine anything.” added Chris Cox, NRA executive director.
Senate Committee on the Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley added “ATF’s original proposal to short-circuit the exemption and limit access to rifle ammunition was an affront to the Second Amendment to the Constitution.”
As Infowars previously reported, The ATF was forced to issue an apology this week for angering Americans by intimating that there is already a ban in place on AR-15 ‘green tip’ ammo.
An online regulations guide failed to list .223-caliber ammo as currently exempted from a ban on armor piercing ammunition, meaning that it was purposefully removed from previous versions of the document, possibly with the proposed ban in mind.

Rand Paul: The Clintons Think They Are Above the Law
Senator calls for independent investigation into email scandal
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
March 11, 2015
Senator Rand Paul has called for an independent investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, charging that the Clintons think they are above the law.
“I don’t think the Clintons should be above the law,” said Paul during an appearance on The Kelly File, adding that Hillary’s excuse that she was using a personal email account for “convenience” shouldn’t trump national security.
Later in the interview, Paul charged that Clinton operated out of arrogance in thinking that, “some of these laws apply to lower people and not to me, Hillary Clinton….nobody should be above the law in our land.”
The former of Secretary of State appeared at a hastily arranged press conference yesterday during which she repeated claims that none of the roughly 30,000 emails that were “deleted” from her personal email account were related to official business.
“I don’t see how she can do this email back and forth with the President, how can she email from Libya about worldwide events and expect that those conversations – none of them – were classified,” said the Senator as he called for an independent investigation into the scandal.
Paul cited photographs of Hillary Clinton using her phone during trips to LIbya, images which don’t correlate with Rep. Trey Gowdy’s finding that there were “gaps of months, and months and months” in email logs that Hillary had handed over from that time period.
“Can we trust Hillary Clinton to produce all of her email when we couldn’t trust her to obey the law that she had to use a State Department email? The only way we get to the truth is through an independent investigation and I do believe that public opinion can provoke that,” said the Senator, adding that the American public “should not tolerate” Clinton’s secrecy.
Asked whether directions given by Hillary to other State Department officials asking them to avoid using personal email accounts meant Hilary thought she was above the law, Paul agreed, before also touching on the millions of dollars her foundation has received from Middle Eastern countries known for oppressing women.
“This is a couple that have been raising money from foreign countries that have despicable human rights and women’s rights records and they’re somehow to be trusted? ‘Oh we’re taking $20 million dollars from Saudi Arabia, but it didn’t affect any of our policy’ – it’s unseemly and I think the American people will be kind of sickened to see this level of….to me it seems to be deception,” said Paul.
The Senator also speculated that there were a “whole host of conversations” undertaken by Hillary that would be deemed classified if anyone tried to obtain them through a FOIA request.

European Dominoes are Starting to Fall
It's so ugly out in the banking world...THAT THEY CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT!!! The world is silent. The stock market is all they see, hear and taste. New highs! New highs!! The world is great...just don't look under the hood.
Europe is imploding as we speak and it is spreading...count each domino...
A Black Swan Lands in Southern Austria: The Ripple Effects...Mini-Greece
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-08/black-swan-lands-southern-austria-ripple-effects-mini-greece-going-heartland-europe
DOMINO #1 - "In Austria whereby the "bad bank" of failed Hypo Alpe Adria - the Heta Asset Resolution AG - itself went from good to bad, with its creditors forced into an involuntary "bail-in" following the "discovery" of a $8.5 billion capital hole in its balance sheet primarily related to ongoing deterioration in central and eastern European economies."
DOMINO #2 - "This shocking announcement promptly sent the price of Heta's bonds crashing as creditors, no longer enjoying the explicit guarantee of the state, scrambled to get out of "northern Europe's" first Lehman moment."
DOMINO #3 - "Austria’s decision to wind down Heta Asset Resolution AG sent ripples through the financial system, causing credit rating downgrades in Austria and bank losses in Germany."
DOMINO #4 - "The Heta bonds are notionally guaranteed by the Austrian state of Carinthia, which is now theoretically becomes liable for the bail-in."
DOMINO #5 - "Carinthia provides deficiency guarantee on Heta's senior debt: the total is equivalent to €10.2 billion, or nearly five times the state's 2014 operating revenue."
DOMINO #6 - "In other words, we now have a waterfall bailout chain whereby the state guaranteeing the debt of the insolvent entity that guaranteed yet another insolvent entity, will itself need to be bailed out by the sovereign, Austria!"
DOMINO #7 - "Among Heta’s liabilities affected by the moratorium and a future bail-in are 1.24 billion euros Heta owes to Pfandbriefbank Oesterreich AG, which issues bonds on behalf of Austrian provincial banks."
DOMINO #8 - "There is an incentive for the member banks to jointly step in for missing payments from HETAR, as otherwise debt holders of PFBKOS bonds could claim payment from any of the member banks individually."
DOMINO #9 - "A number of Austrian banks including HYPO NOE GRUPPE AG and Vorarlberger Landes- und Hypothekenbank AG reported in their annual accounts for 2013 that they had direct exposure to HAA."
DOMINO #10 - "Many have been saying that one should have known that a province like Carinthia can’t guarantee for debts of that size.”
DOMINO #11 - "The very same bonds that are about to lead to a waterfall in impairments are the ones that were, according to EU regulations, "riskless."
DOMINO #12 - "As of year-end 2013, there were about €60bn of claims guaranteed by Austrian regions."
DOMINO #13 - "German banks yesterday also emerged as major Heta bondholders. Dexia’s Dexia Kommunalbank Deutschland AG said it owns 395 million euros of Heta bonds and will take an unspecified charge in the first quarter."
DOMINO #14 - "Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG also owns 395 million euros of Heta bonds and said it will write them down by 120 million euros, cutting its expected pretax profit by two-thirds."
DOMINO #15 - "NRW Bank confirmed it owned Heta bonds, declining to specify the size of its exposure. WDR TV station reported the bank owns 276 million euros of them."
DOMINO #16 - and finally...
"While German banks had spent the past 3 years preparing for the inevitable Grexit and offloading all their exposure to the now insolvent Greek state, it was a waterfall chain of events which started in Germany's own "back yard", courtesy of auditors who decided it was unnecessary to mark losses to market until it was far too late, and the immediate outcome is that one ninth of until recently Aaa/AAA-rated Austria is now also insolvent. And that is just the beginning."
