Rep. Kanjorski: $550 Billion Disappeared in "Electronic Run On the Banks" ( Sept 15,2008) LiveLeak ^ | Feb 7 2009 ( I believe) | Rep Paul Kanjorski Capital Markets Sub committee Chair

Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 8:42:56 PM by Ernest_at_the_Beach

At 2 minutes, 20 seconds into this C-Span video clip, Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania explains how the Federal Reserve told Congress members about a "tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion dollars." According to Kanjorski, this electronic transfer occured over the period of an hour or two.

Here is a transcript of what Kanjorski says in the video:

"On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two.

Money was being removed electronically.

The treasury tried to help with $150 Billion.

But could not stem the tide.

It was an electronic run on the banks

The treasury intervened but had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawled and collapsed and within 24 hours the world economy."

Kanjorski does not provide further details.

A Google search to verify this produces zero results.

Did this just disappear or did I miss the follow-up fireworks or am I just an old Poop that thinks this would have been investigated further?

Question everyone wants answered is WHERE the money went?

This is what caused McCain to suspend his campaign and return to DC. If you remember, 0bama said he would continue campaigning and ‘they can call me if they need me’. With this new info, it sounds like 0bama knew what was going on. I suspect if you get to the bottom of who caused the run, you will get to the bottom of who was manipulating the citizens into putting 0bama in office. If Big Media had done their jobs and informed the citizens of 0bama’s background and his agenda, he would have never gotten near the Oval Office.

I still think this is mis-heard and the quote is not quite right.

9/15 was a Monday, not Thursday. Kanjorski was TOLD on 9/15 that the run occurred the previous Thursday...which was 9/11. I do not, any more, believe in coincidences.

Interesting...I never looked at the idea of 0 knowing what was going on.
The who is George Soros and maybe a little help from his friends.

I have thought this since Kanjorski spilled the news. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I don't see how the majority of the populace could have actually voted for this empty suit. I suspect that 0bama is the puppet and Soros is the puppeteer.

I've heard 9/18, but if it was indeed 9/11, that would explain the thought that it was an economic terrorist attack. And no, I do not remember where I read that last part.

Completely agree! I don't think it has much to do with conspiracy theories. Recall the 28 million he spent to defeat President Bush in 2004? He was NOT going to lose this time.

This just could not happen unless a contrived effort. I believe and said from the start that this was the October surprise the RATS leaked out. I believe King Obama knew something was up that would get him elected. He might not have known the particulars but he damn well knew. Combine this with all the voter fraud and the constant help the MSM and the Hollywierd types, King Obama was a shoe in.

I really wish FREP was organized like a traditional chat board but I don’t run it and am grateful it is here.

That said, the question is not about opinions on this but does anybody know if anything “official” action has been taken on it, any news or, perish the thought, investigative reporting.

I saw one piece on Politico on 2-12 that was like...mis-spoke, not a real issue, nothing to see here...move on.

Like a big whitewash.

I truly do believe this is fabricated, almost this whole mess from the middle of 2007 when the media couldn’t stop talking about recession. I said then that if we are not in a recession they are going to talk us into one. They were all reading from the same script. Someday, maybe if things go on long enough, somebody may discover just what happened and just who did it and that it was all carefully crafted to destroy the United States.

I think the Communists are killing us from their graves. I think this plan that is being executed started over 50 years ago.

soros. And the Red Chinese.

Not too many people have the kind of money soros has. and since he is a well known socialist who is to say he didn’t have connections with the commie chicoms?

that amount of money isn’t a few individuals pulling out.
It is billionares and nations.

could have also been OPEC oil money invested. There just aren’t that many entities with that kind of money easily converted to cash.
