2008 Market Crash Should be Investigated (and 2018?)

Yes. Agree, completely. That’s why I posted that.

Life would be vastly better without Soros. He is the archetypal evil villain, rich enough to buy off anyone who gets in his way. He and his sellout cronies need to be exposed.

George Soros was a good friend of John McCain's and had donated to McCain.

What isn't discussed is that this September 11, 2008 economic meltdown (NOT September 15, btw... it was September 11th) this event happened when Sarah Palin’s poll numbers rocketed McCain over Obama by at least five points.

And Palin did it in less than two weeks on the campaign trail.

What this article omits is the lame duck Bush White House's backing of Obama at this point and shutting out McCain and Palin from helpful discussions with Ben Bernake etc., on the economy.

Instead, McCain campaign staffer Steve Schmidt (who had previously worked for the Rove and the Bush White House) and Nicolle Wallace (who had previously worked for the Bush White House AND had been JEB’s press secretary in Florida) Schmidt and Wallace, joined by their old boss Karl Rove, began a media blitz against their own candidate once it was clear that Palin could very likely drag McCain over the finish line in first place.

Rove went on the attack in the media.

Schmidt and Wallace(s) attacked Palin from within the campaign, and the secret “headquarters” Schmidt always referred to when getting insanely stupid “orders” for Palin on the campaign... was of course Karl Rove and the Bush White House.

The September 11th 2008 economic meltdown was a plan to keep Palin out of the executive branch for the main reason that JEB wanted his turn at the White House, so the Bushes could beat John and John Quincy Adams in the history books.

Soros is a “switch hitter” in terms of donating to political parties... he donates to the Uniparty Elites one way or another.

John McCain was old then, and there was some idea that he would not live out the full term in 2008, so Palin as VP was a real threat to the Uniparty Elites and the lame duck Bush White House.

Even the book GAME CHANGE discusses the lame Duck Bush White House totally helping Obama on economic issues.

Oh, the reason that the Bush White House didn't stage some war mongering event to take the focus off the McCain Palin campaign, but instead worked towards an economic crisis of one or two investors making on the morning of September 11, when they pulled half a billion dollars out of the markets?

Because Palin and McCain were running on a pro Iraq War, “The Surge Is Working” campaign.

The economy wasn't a strong point for McCain (Mr. Savings and Loan Crisis) or Palin.

JMHO. The Elites and the lame duck Bush White House could NOT RISK SARAH PALIN IN OFFICE and cut a deal with Obama. This explains McCain's "whatever" attitude about losing to Obama.

Again, JMHO.

Interesting backstory. Thanks, I had no idea.

And Palin Derangement Syndrome was a foreshadowing of Trump Derangement Syndrome... for the same reasons.

I think McCain was in on it, whether he knew all of what was going on is debatable but I am convinced he had agreed to lose to Obama from the get go. I think that is why Palin was lashed out at by McCain people- she was popular and a breath of fresh air into a campaign that was never supposed to win.

I know that sounds crazy, but it is what I think.

[BenLurkin]

Have suspected something like this for a decade.

[Maris Crane]

I have many shortcomings, but I pride myself with good instincts.

Schwartz/Soros is perfectly capable and willing to disrupt our economy in any way he can with his billions. He has done much damage in other countries.

We have to watch him and those in the investment business should watch him carefully. He is the most dangerous man alive at this time.

[a fool in paradise]

it certainly seemed that voters, determined to keep Obamunism from taking over the government, were having to drag McCain’s “weekend at bernie’s” limp body over the election finish line.

McCain seemed to be taking a dive and there was a spirit in the air that they were upset that the campaign had rebounded with support for VP candidate Sarah Palin. McCain’s peeps have since said he was unhappy with the pick.

It’s an overdue correction that the Fed made worse by trying to keep Obama afloat...and now they’re being too aggressive to “stop inflation” that ain’t been happening...saw a headline on Yahoo Finance “concerned” that with the latest big drop there doesn’t seem to be anyone panicking....

The Village Voice wrote a chronology ascribing much credit to Andrew Cuomo - here

[Sgt_Schultze]

Yup. Eight years of a “growing” economy was accompanied by eight years of nearly free money. It was a behavior unprecedented in the history of the Fed. Here’s a chart of record. That’s some “growing economy” Obama presided over.
