Evidence outlined in a Pentagon contractor report suggests that financial subversion carried out by unknown parties, such as terrorists or hostile nations, contributed to the 2008 economic crash by covertly using vulnerabilities in the U.S. financial system.
The unclassified 2009 report “Economic Warfare: Risks and Responses” by financial analyst Kevin D. Freeman, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, states that “a three-phased attack was planned and is in the process against the United States economy.”
While economic analysts and a final report from the federal government's Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission blame the crash on such economic factors as high-risk mortgage lending practices and poor federal regulation and supervision, the Pentagon contractor adds a new element: “outside forces,” a factor the commission did not examine.
“There is sufficient justification to question whether outside forces triggered, capitalized upon or magnified the economic difficulties of 2008,” the report says, explaining that those domestic economic factors would have caused a “normal downturn” but not the “near collapse” of the global economic system that took place.
Suspects include financial enemies in Middle Eastern states, Islamic terrorists, hostile members of the Chinese military, or government and organized crime groups in Russia, Venezuela or Iran. Chinese military officials publicly have suggested using economic warfare against the U.S.

The 9/11 terrorist didn't target Wall Street for nothing. They know our economy is our strength too
What, Soros isn’t on the list? I would have considered him a prime suspect.
Look to our domestic enemies and their financiers first. As the Great Clinton said about campaign finance violations, “Mistakes were made but we had a tough campaign to win (to overthrow 12 years of Republican rule).”
The ends always justify the means for Democrats.
It was just a matter of time! The trick now is to prevent FURTHER interference from outside (with or without the home-grown traitors who assist our enemies)
Where’s Kanjorski? I always wanted him to explain the missing $500B.
This storyline works for the Obama Administration on SOOOOO many different levels....
- takes the blame off of the banks and Wall Street firms that have been supporting Obama
- also deflects attention away from his buddy Soros
- gives them a legion of “Homeland Security” excuses to engage in massive new regulation of the economy
1) In March of 2008, a report went out that the US financial system was likely to collapse in Sept 2008. What's up with that?
2) When McCain/Palin pulled ahead of Obama/Biden in national polls, the entire US economy seemed to suddenly go into collapse. The net result seemed to be that voters wanted Republicans out of the White House. Mightly convenient.
3) We've spent a couple trillion dollars recovering from this terrorist attack. Did we really need to? Would we do so again? What have we done to protect ourselves from this sort of attack?
Is this the mysterious 2 Trillion dollars that diaappeared and we have yet to find who the US Treasury paid off? Ask Geo. Soros because he probably knows.
And the economic crash in 2008 influenced the elections.
“Unknown parties”???
Try Obama and the Clintons, along with the democratic party and american muslims.
I’ve always had a problem with public nudity. Ban naked shorts. Not that WS ever plays by the rules.
Wall Street contains many ‘elite revolutionaries’ that believe they can best run the system.
Jamie Dimon, Jeff Immelt, etc are well know ‘progressives’.
Everybody wants to rule the world!
Some congresscritter from Pennsylvania said in 2008 we were financially attacked. FR listened but nobody else did.
KK - you stole my thunder! Just logged on to Drudge and saw this...thanks for posting as I’m still not very good at it.
I think this is big - even Rush has made note of this and a congress critter brought it up right after the election but got nowhere.
I suspect Soros and powers abroad to influence the ‘08 election - with complicity from the Obama admin...
Yes, I do think there are commies under my bed!
Just as I figured all along. It was probably partially an inside job perpetrated by the Democrat/Progressive/Marxist element in concert with "outside". Vickers must be covering for his political soulmates/co-conspirators. I suspect that Soros is waist deep in this also.
Without a shred of evidence, or even a metric to distinguish “financial terrorism” from simply pointing out that the US homeowner was, on average, insolvent, I have to put this in the CRAZY CONSPIRACY THEORY category.
What are they even alleging???
you are insane
I’ve always felt that the 2008 financial collapse was the “October Surprise”, executed one month early but with the same effect.
Me, too. Soros would be at the top of my list of suspects.
This always seemed to me to be a deliberate attempt to destroy our economy...and influence a Presidential election, and it worked. I think the bail-outs only enhanced the problem. definitely evil forces at work.
He is busy counting it on his new private island off of Viet Nam.
