Default Earthshaking economic revelation

Completely ignore all of today's mainstream media headlines about what central banks are doing to rescue the world from the latest "debt crisis" -- this one in the Eurozone and Greece.

Instead, read the following genuinely earthshaking news at Bloomberg:
Secret Fed Loans Gave Banks $13 Billion Undisclosed to Congress - Bloomberg
I must warn you that the headline of that article is grossly misleading. Read the entire article, because a very important question is finally answered -- how much did the Fed dole out (put US citizens on the hook for) during the financial crisis of 2008-9? Answer: $7.7 trillion.

To whet your appetite a bit, here's the first paragraph of the article:

"The Federal Reserve and the big banks fought for more than two years to keep details of the largest bailout in U.S. history a secret. Now, the rest of the world can see what it was missing."

Believe me when I say that the world "missed" a great deal.

If you don't already know what the term "domino theory" means, you'll be getting a crash course in the near future.

Good luck to us all.
