If it had involved currency issues I’d say you were on to something. Soros has quite a track record in currency manipulations. But ince currency wasn’t onvolved I’d say no.
george soros comes to mind, would help obama.

George Soros
Is the billionaire speculator the Democrats’ most powerful weapon?

Amazing how the price of oil went up when it looked like it would hurt the Republicans with pain at the pump, but when the American people began demanding drilling and it hurting the Dems the price came back down?
Remember.. this is the guy, through speculation, forced the collapse of the British pound in 1992.
Funny that you posted this.
The same thought crossed my mind this afternoon.
It sounds crazy, but I’ve had that thought run through my mind too.
Also keep in mind that May/Mac were Rat piggy banks and it was the Left who forced banks to lend money to people who can't pay it back.
“Or should I get out my tinfoil hat?”
No, the billionaires backing Obama will do anything to get him elected. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” Ephesians 6:12
Just because we're paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get us....
What would be very interesting to see is who has been doing the short selling. (I sound ignorant about the whole thing because I am ignorant about the whole thing). I think I heard that some of the short selling has been done by hedge fund managers. What funds? Who are the managers? What are their political affiliations?
I was thinking that it’s too bad this financial implosion is occurring just before the election, when it will probably help the Democrats. Now, you wonder if it might be due to market manipulation for political purposes.
Well, I wouldn’t put it past the Party of Traitors to destroy the economy of America and the World just to ensure their election.
ABSOLUTELY! In fact someone on FoxNews ??, and don’t remember who, but said that “bets” were taken about Lehman, and stocks were bought and sold to bring it down...but it was weak and they attacked that weakness. It is some of what happens on Wall Street, and the reason ‘short sales’ were stopped by UK yesterday...and that determination is being discussed as temporary measure here.
My guess is democrat investors like Soros want to crash some things to give Obama an edge, but I don’t know enough to be able to see how they could do it.
You’re not alone in thinking this by a long-shot. I’m hoping that this is also being considered during all of the closed-door meetings at the White House. It stinks to high Heaven.
Didn’t OBL make some statement about bankrupting the US?
Is Soros directly involved? Maybe, but there is zero doubt in my mind that he’s clearly been providing his counsel to the Dims in how to muck up an economy and make things kind of bumpy. It’s an ideal situation for him really. His fingerprints are no where near the whole thing, and he’s got willing idiots in Congress that are jusssssssst dumb enough to be manipulated into doing things that will bringabout financial challenges that the Dims can literally profit from in some case financially and certainly major political benefits.
My thoughts were even more paranoid than yours. It’s economic terrorism. Whoever the money manipulators are, they have effectively “accomplished” the same thing as the terrorists on 9/11. Just not as obvious or messy.
I’d say yes, except that it is emerging now how tied in all of Barry’s “advisers” and power brokers (such as Fannie Mae’s Franklin Raines and other members of the black Dem power structure) were to the initial trigger of the collapse, bad mortgage loans. I can’t see how this could be good for him. Of course, I suppose it could have a harmful effect only if it gets reported, which so far doesn’t appear to be happening anywhere outside of FR.
Even before I went into looking at the postings, George Soros comes to mind. I am sure the stock market volatility is due to his manipulation.
