ICYMI: Starmer-Biden talks end with no decision on missiles hitting Russia
UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer and Joe Biden did not announce any decision on allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons inside Russia following their talks in Washington.
Sir Kier said the two leaders had “a long and productive discussion on a number of fronts, including Ukraine, as you would expect, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific” after he was asked about the outcome.
“This wasn’t a meeting about a particular capability. That wasn’t why we got our heads down today.
“It was to allow ourselves the space, which we took, the time, which we took, to have a strategic discussion so that tactical decisions could be seen within the wider strategy.”

United Nations Blasts West’s Long-Range Missile Move Against Russia; Issues Nuclear War Warning
world news
Published on Sep 14, 2024 10:22 AM IST
Stephane Dujarric, a spokesman for the UN Secretary General, made a big statement after the US and UK allowed Ukraine to use Western weapons to strike deep into Russia. Dujarric said the "rhetoric that we're hearing is yet another indication that we are not moving towards the end of this conflict." He also noted that "the increased rhetoric, notably around nuclear weapons, is worrying." The Russian Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, also said NATO will be seen as a direct party to a war.

Lehman Brothers' assets are at risk. Read the news headlines for more details. We failed over the last sixteen years, because we did not write a primer entitled, Foreign Policy for Idiots. Lehman's had over $10 billion, legal fees, here to create a primer.
They are playing a game of chicken with America's assets and people again 1962. Pure breed Idiots...donkey, mule or jack will do!

Quarterly Financial Report as of June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Page 16
Note 5 – Taxes Payable
Taxes payable is an estimate of tax liabilities, net of
the estimated impact of any refund claims, deposits,
and net operating losses (“NOL”). Taxes payable
have been allocated among the members of the LBHI
Tax Group pursuant to the Debtor Allocation
Agreement. The Debtor Allocation Agreement,
which became effective on the Effective Date,
addresses the relationship among the Debtors and
certain Affiliates with respect to consolidated
federal/combined state/local income taxes for pre-
petition and post-petition years.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an
estimate of $8.6 million for potential pre- and post-
petition amounts owed to federal, state, local and
international taxing authorities, net of expected refund
claims. Between April 5, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the
Company has reduced its net taxes payable by $0.1
million as a result of global tax audit progress.
Net Operating Losses
The NOLs of the LBHI Tax Group (including LBHI-
Controlled Affiliates) are subject to audit and
adjustment by the IRS and primarily expire in or
about 2028. Substantially all of the LBHI Tax
Group’s current consolidated net operating loss
carryovers are attributable to the Debtor. The Plan
provides for an orderly liquidation of the Debtors. As
previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly
Financial Report as of March 31, 2012 [Docket No.
29731], the LBHI Tax Group received a private letter
ruling from the IRS in connection with the Plan going
effective that stated (i) the liquidation of the Debtor
for U.S. federal income tax purposes may occur over
an extended period, and (ii) the reduction of the
LBHI Tax Group’s NOLs as a result of the discharge
of debt pursuant to the Plan generally would not
occur until completion of the liquidation.
In January 2020, the Company received a
supplemental IRS ruling extending the original ruling
relating to the Company’s liquidation. All remaining
Debtor NOLs not previously utilized to absorb
taxable income of the LBHI Tax Group are expected
to be fully utilized to offset income resulting from the
discharge of debt on the final date of liquidation of
LBHI.

Well after updating my understanding of New York's weirdo courts I realized that the appeal filed in August 2024 is going to Albany, NY to be heard in the State's Highest Court! Should it be approved.
And you think you'd want to overturn the decision to let anyone walk away from an ISDA Master Agreement when all the CDS they sold triggered a payout to the person who was buying your swaps according to the ISDA like private sector contractual agreements in this market have done since they began using it. But I digress. Here:
Source: Page 14 Q2 2024 Financial Report from LBHI bankruptcy docket
And hopefully Albany isn't politically motivated as Judge Diane Renwick to keep the private sector from resolving 2008 issues that President Trump is already committed to once his term begins in DC by ending the conservatorship of Fannie and Freddie! Renwick is the Judge Hochul appointed to the last level appellate court position in 2023 but has twice (2019 and 2023) taken petty civil suits against Trump and filed opinions with political views and made Trump pay hundreds of millions of dollars in sham cases. She doesn't like capitalism anymore than the administration and machine in charge for 12/16 years that both LBHI CH 11 and Fannie and Freddie conservatorship have been purposely dragged out but also are not able to be legally dissolved, terminated, closed, without paying up. Even those assholes that suppress our private sector free market capitalist economy like pre-2008 to today still have investments and stocks, options, you name it. So it's not like they can full on destroy the rules. =P
Anyway - the beat goes on - la de da de dee. Beats the case having no appeals left!
UPDATE: Let's just hope that since last week when a CCP Commie Spy who was Cuomo and Hochul's Deputy Chief of Staff until Spring 2023 got arrested in an FBI raid that made Gov Hochul act a little more in the interests of the American capitalism and private sector contract being honored as it always has been... If not let's pray this gets heard with Trump in office so he can put the pressure on Hochul and these Judges as he is the king of crackdown on China's BS.

Interesting....Maybe if we hit Big with our Lehman Holdings, I may seek your advice on some Oil Wells Acquisition in and around Eagle Ford and Permian (Giddings, San Angelo and surrounding areas). With the way the US is going into a steady decline, with insurmountable Debt being created by corrupt Politicians ( in both parties), its only a matter of time before All US Treasury Auctions will fail and US will have to declare BK...And we go into a Prolonged Depression while at the same time there will be Hyper-inflation,... Energy interests -OIl wells/royalties, Energy E&P & transmission companies may be the best bets.

LBHI quarterly report that was published on Friday has this on page 14:
The trial in the New York Supreme Court, concluded
in November 2021. In March 2023, the Court issued
its decision in favor of AGR and granted AGR’s
claim. LBIE appealed that decision, and in March
2024, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court,
First Judicial Department (“Appellate Division”)
issued its decision upholding the lower court ruling in
all respects. LBIE filed an application to appeal that
decision to the New York Court of Appeals in August
2024. A decision on that application to appeal is
pending.
