They've been quietly bailing out banks for a while now. A notable recent one is when banks shorted silver a little while back and the price tripled instead of going down. They just learned they can't publicize it without making us serfs uppity.

That's interesting, need to look that up. They sure kept it quiet, as I've never seen it reported on even 'alternative' media.
They will have to tell us serfs when we inevitably get stuck with the bill.
