9/11/2008 CATASTROPHIC FINANCIAL TERRORIST ATTACK CAUSED ECONOMIC MELTDOWN
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 2/12/09 | Pamela Gellar

Posted on 02/12/2009 9:52:25 PM PST by FromLori

The recent bombshell that Rep. Kanjorski dropped gets bigger and bigger. Atlas reader Suzanne picked up on a mindblowing "detail" in my blog post: "RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT HUSSEIN: "A $550 Billion Electronic Run on the Banks". Paul Kanjorski describes the closed door session of Congress where it was revealed that there was a $550 billion electronic run on the banks and that was what caused the economic crisis. In the video, Kanjorski says this occurred on Thursday, September 15, 2008. September 15th was a MONDAY.

THURSDAY was .......SEPTEMBER 11, 2008

This was a Financial Terrorist Attack on the seventh anniversary of 9/11. Aren't the American people entitled to know who was behind the run on the banks?

Why was this kept from the American people before the most important election in US history? And why did Obama treat it as an unimportant incident - accusing McCain of grandstanding when McCain left the campaign trail and flew to Washington? Remember what President Hussein said? "They'll call me if they need me."

FLASHBACK: "Call me if you need me"

When President Hussein was campaigning and the "economic crisis" hit, he did not think it pressing enough to leave the campaign trail, but now we should push through a trillion dollars in legislation without oversight because a few weeks later the King deems it urgent?

Whose side is Bush on anyway? (He looked panicked too, didn’t he.)

Why did McCain run such a lame campaign?

Did you catch this:”Peter Geithner [Timothy’s father] oversaw the ‘microfinance’ programs developed in Indonesia by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, Barack Obama’s mother” ?

Thanks.

And not a peep out of the media. It reminds me of a quote...

Link 1... CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER by D.L. Cuddy, Ph.D.
FR link...Interesting Historical Quotes... In support of "World Government"
We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries. David Rockefeller

An interesting aside given the much used 'change agent' descriptor in this last election...
1991 -- Author Linda MacRae-Campbell publishes How to Start a Revolution at Your School in the publication In Context. She promotes the use of "change agents" as "self-acknowledged revolutionaries" and "co-conspirators."

And the sight capable still insist that they're blind, seeing nothing.

Would be interesting to find out if Madoff is connected somehow.

The money market guarantee program was initiated on Thursday, September 18, 2008, thus that was the morning of the meltdown.

September 29, 2008 hp-1161

Treasury Announces Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds

Washington- The U.S. Treasury Department today opened its Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds. The U.S. Treasury will guarantee the share price of any publicly offered eligible money market mutual fund – both retail and institutional – that applies for and pays a fee to participate in the program.

All money market mutual funds that are regulated under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, maintain a stable share price of $1, and are publicly offered and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be eligible to participate in the program. Treasury first announced this program on Friday, September 19.

Atlas Shrugs never misses an opportunity to try to reconstruct September 11, regardless of the facts.

And people wonder why so many folks went ga-ga for 44. Those "in the know" knew exactly what was going on and "their time had finally come" and it was being thrown in the face of the ignorant
every...single...day...

...without them being any the wiser!
Someone has got to be laughing hysterically in some back room somewhere.

I read this story when it was first published... this is the part that really fascinated me and still does:

Did you catch this:”Peter Geithner [Timothy’s father] oversaw the ‘microfinance’ programs developed in Indonesia by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, Barack Obama’s mother” ?

Earlier, I reported that NYT identifies Peter Geithner, in Timothy’s wedding announcement, as the “program officer in charge of developing countries for the Ford Foundation.” This just smells to me like a spook cover. I said so back then, before I knew about the connection between Obama’s mother and Geithner’s father:

One side note. Geithner graduated from the International School of Bangkok, Thailand. His father appears to be a possible CIA agent...

It makes you wonder how long “they” have been grooming Obama as the “agent of Change” president.

The money market guarantee program was initiated on Thursday, September 18, 2008, thus that was the morning of the meltdown.

From your article...the "money shot", if you will, which comes right after your snippet ends...

The temporary guarantee program provides coverage to shareholders for amounts that they held in participating money market funds as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. The guarantee will be triggered if a participating fund's net asset value falls below $0.995, commonly referred to as breaking the buck.

Snip...

To participate in the program, the Treasury Department will require money market funds with a net asset value per share greater than or equal to $0.9975 as of the close of business on September 19, 2008, to pay an upfront fee of 0.01 percent, 1 basis point, based on the number of shares outstanding on that date. Funds with net asset value per share of greater than or equal to $0.995 and below $0.9975 as of the close of business on September 19, 2008, will be required to pay an upfront fee of 0.015 percent, 1.5 basis points, based on the number of shares outstanding on that date. These fees will only cover the first three months of participation in the program.
Funds with a net asset value below $0.995 as of the close of business on September 19, 2008, may not participate in the program.

Snip...

While the program protects the accounts of investors, each money market fund makes the decision to sign-up for the program. Investors cannot sign-up for the program using the forms on the program webpage: http://www.treas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/key-initiatives/money-market-fund.shtml.

Snip...

President George W. Bush approved the use of existing authorities by Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. to make available as necessary the assets of the Exchange Stabilization Fund to guarantee the payment
The Exchange Stabilization Fund was established by the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, as amended, and has approximately $50 billion in assets. This Act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President, "to deal in gold, foreign exchange, and other instruments of credit and securities" consistent with the obligations of the U.S. government in the International Monetary Fund to promote international financial stability.

That was strange...
Investors cannot sign-up for the program individually. Funds should apply by October 8, 2008 for the program using the forms on the program webpage: http://www.treas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/key-initiatives/money-market-fund.shtml.

I don’t see how the two events are related. Can you help explain it to me?

I sure did I read that article over a few times. Did you notice the ties between soros, kissinger, geitner, etc. in the other links?

In light of the article's comment...
This Act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President, "to deal in gold, foreign exchange, and other instruments of credit and securities" consistent with the obligations of the U.S. government in the International Monetary Fund to promote international financial stability.

And your rcomment here...
I was into gold before it was fashionable.
I can understand your interest.

I don't see any relation between 911 and the money market attack that broke the buck.

I can envision a relationship between that event and the promotion of the Obamessiah as anti-president, but I can't prove anything until we find Soros 'fingerprints on it.

yes. We have lost control over our own futures for so many reasons, but the collective “we” have no one to blame but ourselves — I don’t know how we save our Republic at this point.
