Is The Market Being Manipulated in Order to Influence the Election?
self | 10/10/08 | Joe Alfieri

Posted on 10/10/2008 12:49:00 PM PDT by JoeA

Someone once said that there is no such thing as coincidence in politics. My observation that the near inevitability of a weak, or failing, or disastrous (pick an adjective) economy when a Republican is in the White House leads me to believe that statement. I am of the opinion that a large part of the current crisis on Wall Street is due to manipulation. It's a gut feeling, like the feeling I had that Bob Rubin and crew were managing or at least assisting the market's rise during the Clinton years. I have the feeling that George Soros and gang may be up to the same thing now.

But I'm not an expert, just an interested observer. So I pose the question to the more knowledgeable in the Freeper audience: Is the market crash being managed for the benefit or Barack Hussein Obama?

I’ve had that sneaking suspicion also. Somewhere where the dots can be connected will probably lead to George Soros

the market is forward looking...Obama+Pelosi+Reid = end of economic and religious freedom and the end of the greatest constitutional republic in the history of the world.

The timing of the market crash smells of a rat. Make that DemRat.

I think it’s in sync with the fact that America has been asleep at the wheel in terms of the economy AND the election. I hope we don’t decide to hit the snooze button every again!

I had the same thought, and the same villain in mind.

I’ve had the same feeling since Freddie and Fannie blew up in everyone's faces. I just cant prove it. It is very strange that this would happen 30 days prior to a major election in which you have the first minority, who happens to be an arch socialist, in the running. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, something is rotten in Denmark!

Now turn of the PC and get out and do something to stop this fool Obama from being elected!!!!

I guess the crash is the “October Surprise” that some people have been predicting.

Yes- with the hopes that Obama wins, and the world asks him to take over the global markets, ushering him in as World Leader.

Everything about this man is deceptive and evil.

yup. That’s what I said at the time it first showed up. But the dems will be in power now for decades and no one is ever going to investigate.

It seems pretty obvious to me. They let the big players sell, then did the doom and gloom thing to the msm viewers who are now selling their 401K stocks which will make it fall for another few days. Then the Bailout will kick in, stock market will rebound. Democrats will be heros just in time for Obama’s 1/2 primetime propaganda speech.

Interesting thoughts, but no. I doubt it’s even possible. You’re talking about the ability to control hundreds of trillions of dollars, minimum. I don’t see it.

I think it is manipulation. These problems have been around for months and months. Why now is everything crashing, one month before the election??

No. Too much money in the market.

Total cap even with the drop has to be 30-40 Trillion dollars. With a T.

It takes a lot of billionaires to come up with trillion dollars and then how many more do you need to fix the market?

Don't ask me, I'm just a conspiracy theory nutcase and too simple to understand how every damn thing in the world that might transpire to force an election to the socialist side could be taking place just when and as needed.

What scares me most is what might be next on the list.
