We were well into the financial meltdown by September. This wasn’t a conspiracy to create a crisis, but a panicked reaction to a nascent meltdown. Large, financial savvy investors were trying to pull liquid assets before they became worthless.
Well, except for the John McCain part, you nailed it. This wasn't a conspiracy, just running for the hills.
IMHO..it was to “hook” Dubya...so that when Paulson went into the Oval Office to tell the President that the US Treasury was going to become Wall St’s final hedge...he would’nt get any back talk from the President.
I am a true conspiratorialists, but I need to know the "how" of this transaction...
most of us speculated that the gas "crisis" was pure speculation and that the financial crisis hit exactly at the proper time for the Rats....
otherwise, Sarah Palin would have been our new VP....
when you think about it, McPalin did not get clobbered vote wise.....that "crisis" made all the difference, that and the corruption..
can someone refresh us about the content of that special closed door session of Congress way back last spring, some of it IIRC, was about an impending crisis....
lets face it.....this has been, engineered or not, the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world from the middle classes to the Globalist.....
bump
‘Well, except for the John McCain part’
I watched McCain ‘live’ that infamous morning, I was in Atlanta for a convention at the time.
I stand by what I wrote, exactly.
The facts lie in who did this. Was it a random sampling of depositors, or was it a tight group of depositors with similar political/economic goals? Certainly, a group of middle-easterners could have acted in concert, and they do have a strong desire to bring down the western world. On the other hand, given the shakey condition of the credit industry at the time, it could certainly be related to panic selling.
We need to know who was involved before a logical conclusion can be drawn.
I think most of it was average people panicking.
I’m watching John Adams, the HBO series. And I’m seeing some alarming parallels.
I'm not giving investment advice but, the people who believed what the "government" promised with respect to the 401(k) plans, IRAs, etc. are taking the risk that the "government" would change its mind and, somehow, tap that vast pool of untaxed money.
They raided the Social Security program because all of those juicy dollars just sitting there were too tempting. They concocted some BS theory about how they were only "borrowing" the money and then blew it on apparently "stimulative" government spending. Now, the Social Security system is funded in real time dollars, not accrued dollars.
Assuming your 401(k) plan is actually yours... diversifying assets may be a good strategy. If you can hold gold coins, real estate or foreign currency in your plan, it may make sense. Maybe a REIT. Some people are cashing them in, paying the tax and penalty and moving the money off shore. This is risky, especially if the markets turn around under a Republican administration.
Neither. It was most likely large trusts and funds that are controlled by a single entity but represents an untold number of investors. Only about 1 2000 investors actually has direct control of their money.
NOTHING having to do with Hussein is investigated....nothing.
I wonder why?
I keep the old saw “the bigger they come, the hard they fall” in mind when I start to get frustrated with the kid glove treatment BHO is getting, particularly contrasted with “W.”
Which created all this ship traffic bringing their goods to sell in America.
So THE TIMES SEEM RIGHT.
Once again man left to his own self destroys himself.
While pretending (and sometimes not even bothering to pretend) to be a philantrophist he's setup many 'think tanks' & charities in these countries. In the USA he is now clearly directly involved in the American Politics and back in 2000 & 2004 he poured hundred of millions to the democrat's election coffers in an attempt to get his foorhold in American life.
Some of his political fronts involves legalization of marijuana and Open Borders Amnesty for illegal immigrants. In this 2008 election he has forgone hiding in the shadows and is now plainly visible on stage with his 'puppet' candidate 0Bama.
He has made many enemies in the world and with this breaking revealation I can only concede that the has plotted well, howbeit even he too must answer to the Highest Power of the Almighty who see, knows & controls everything; even his little pissant life!!
T he $550 billion draw down of Money Market funds referred to by Rep. Kanjorski happened the morning of September 18, 2008.
