I was just thinking of getting a 31 year old Star BM pistol chrome plated, but you know what?

Its far more useful as is with 1000 rounds than it is all pretty with no food.

Indonesia..nah, I doubt it. Perhaps moneys to his election coffers but not in the Sept. crash.

Actually it’s small peanuts from Indonesia unless the mid-east folks filtered it thru there, which I doubt that as well. There are far more higher and more powerful people operating on the international scene than that.

As far as Barry’s affiliation with the Muslims? Yea, I suspect many of the teachings rubbed off on Bo if not taken even as his own. But moreso troubling is his 20 years under the Pastor Wright in Chicago...now that’s serious nasty stuff! and extremely anti-american..this is where he has gotten his “beliefs”...20yrs. of it!

Bo’s upbringing and Muslim affilations growing up would certainly have attributed to his comfort level at Wrights church..But He isn’t a practicing Muslim as is commonly understood. If anything he does have an obvious appeal toward the Muslim community fostered from the teachings at Wrights church, his family lineage, and familarity in the places he’s lived.

All in all Bo’s been looking his whole life for a place to call home...and a people to belong to....DC is definately not it!!

I HATE the fact that the 500 US banks who staged a simultaneous run on the Fed on Sept. 18, 2008 to crash the US financial markets and put a lock on an Obama win in the Presidential election (Bush the Republican is a domestic agenda economics “mismanager” so vote for the Democrat) were assured by Obama’s “handlers (Soros et al.)
.............
there was a 540 billion dollar run on the banks in about an hour. It is unknown who withdrew the money.

That makes the second big secret of the Obama administration. The first one involves his birth certificate.

SCUMBAG is always talking his own book. He must be short the banks. He also wants the US banks weakened so Euro banks can take over more business.

Thanks for the tip about the run on US banks that occurred on Sept. 18, 2008.

I have cited two links to discussions on this topic for your perusal:

The Fed “shut the transaction window” on Sept. 18, 2008 when there was a 550 billion dollar run on US banks over a 1-2 hour period. This action on the part of the Fed was done to prevent further withdrawal of 5.5 TRILLION from the American financial market system that Bernanke (& Paulsen) predicted would have taken place had the Fed not acted.

Rush Limbaugh discusses the episode (transcript exerpt from Feb. 10, 2009) focusing on statements made by Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-PA). A 6-minute video clip of Kanjorski himself speaking on the subject is also provided at this link:

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_021009/content/01125106.guest.html

One of the information sources Rush cited for his background material is entitled, “How the World Almost Came to an End at 2PM on September 18” is posted at Zero Hedge (zerohedge.com, a WallStreet blog site) and is available to read at this link:

It’s getting interesting.....

I will go back and find the article in the he American Spectator from Sept 2008 discussing the same topic.
It was eye opening.
