Full Title:

"Did China or Jihadists try to bankrupt America? Pentagon report reveals financial terrorists may have triggered economic crash"

Terrorists and other 'financial enemies' were likely responsible for the near collapse of the U.S. financial system in 2008, a new Pentagon report has concluded.

The 2009 report, Economic Warfare: Risks and Responses, said financial terrorism by Jihadists or countries such as China may have cost the global economy $50 trillion in a series of co-ordinated strikes against the U.S. economy.

In an astonishing conclusion, the report claims two unidentified traders deliberately devalued trillions of dollars' worth of stocks at the height of the crisis

Could be. I admit that people have been living BEYOND what they are truly able to afford, but I do have to wonder, really wonder if some sophisticated terrorism didn't in fact pull the final trigger.

Probably not the jihadists. They know they caused economic damage with 9/11 and other terror attacks but what they’re describing here is way too sophisticated. The Chinese on the other hand...? As for Soros, he would do it in a heartbeat if he could.

The people in D.C. have been doing a good enough job at this. Hardly think they need outside help.

And so are the socialist evil traitors called,

DEMONRATS!!!

ALL of these factors are combining with the normal process of the destruction of the dollar lead by the FED.

The FED is the THIRD CENTRAL BANK and is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

We need real honest money, not the manipulated, destroy the middle class bogus excuse for money called “Federal Reserve Notes.”

They actually represent a zero interest treasury, when you think about it. It is only good as long as the American people can pay their taxes. Without jobs, without the world wanting green pieces of paper, they are TOTALLY worthless.

It was too big for just him. Add it other big hedge funds, China, Saudi Arabia, leftist Dems, etc. This was set up years earlier by CRAs, Rahm and Gorelnick and Fannie & Freddie, The Sandlers dumping World Savings just before the blow up on Wachovia, Rubin at Citicorp and the list goes on.

Happened about 3 months before the election. Many of the options and futures went through....Chicago exchanges. I knew this was what was going on when it was happening. They made tens of billions and got their islamo-boy in the white hut.

This is such massive BS!

This started because of the CDOs and other debt instruments.

Now the game is blame it on anyone except the ones who started this mess:

Goldman Sacs, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and the rest of the boys.

Soros and the rest of the kids with the candy routed the market in July 2008 because McCain was leading Obama in Ohio, the bellweather state. What better way to roil people and demonstrate the economy in turmoil than rock the market. Point is, they went too far.

Calls are getting louder for prosecution of people who now work for the government in many cases.

Hence, the propaganda and BS about the “enemy.”

Pogo said it best, “We have met the enemy and he is us!”

I would assume first someone who has previously made such efforts to cause economic collapse: George Soros, who openly brags that he is "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England", by creating a currency crisis.

Jihadis have neither the expertise or the access to do this, and it is not currently to the Chinese interest to do so.

Agreed. This was a coup by Soros. They got their tool in place by manipulating the election and markets.

Derivatives need to be banned.

They are weapons of mass financial destruction.

The banks love them. That tells you all you need to know.

“Happened about 3 months before the election. Many of the options and futures went through....Chicago exchanges. I knew...”

These SOBs are trying to deflect some mighty righteous anger.

“Republican presidential candidate John McCain moved from being behind by 6 points among “likely” voters a month ago to a 4-point lead over Democrat Barack Obama among that group in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. McCain still trails slightly among the broader universe of “registered” voters. By both measures, the race is tight.

The Friday-Sunday poll, mostly conducted as Obama was returning from his much-publicized overseas trip and released just this hour, shows McCain now ahead 49%-45% among voters that Gallup believes are most likely to go to the polls in November. In late June, he was behind among likely voters, 50%-44%.”
http://realclearpolitics.blogs.time.com/2008/07/28/gallupusa_today_poll_mccain_4/

It was right after this with McCain moving ahead, and frankly, Palin re-energized the party, that the market died.

They killed the economy to get their boy in. It’s Soros and the rest of the billionaires.

Heads need to roll.

You are correct sir.

And notice that not one of the Wall Street criminals who pocketed hundreds of billions with their leveraged derivative plays on crap housing debt has gone to prison, not one.

They own both parties.

I don't believe a word of this. We gave away millions of homes to people who couldn't pay for them and then turned that system into a financial instrument. We then sold that to the rest of the world. This is our own fault and the leaders of the nations who bought that crap.
