I’ll bet the “good folks” who ran Lehman Brothers, AIG and the other outfits that failed are Democrats who contributed many dollars to Obama’s campaign.
Somebody set this whole thing in motion in mid-September and Paulson reacted. It does look like a setup.
This would be a great story for an investigative journalist of the right persuasion. Who knew what when and what did they do about it.
The richest in our country are in bed with the Democrats. They run new programs, such as green projects, cheap housing, and medical care, get money from the government to run them, then the richest give money back to our representatives. The American middle class and newly rich are taxed for the profit of the Democrats and super-rich who vote for them. Meanwhile they do it out of the tyranny of being “nice” to the unfortunate of the country. Kleptocracy with a friendly face. More and more Republicans are falling under this corruption, too. I have to say I think Warren Buffett is in on this scheme and trust the SOB as far as I could throw him.
Agreed. How could it NOT be? I swear, I'm sitting here two months later and wondering what the hell is going on?
The timing of this "crisis" wasn't just a little bit suspicious to anybody??
This story sounds like something that would be up Jack Cashill's alley.
When they allowed Lehman to fail and said they were not going to bail anyone out it was a matter of a day and they decided to bail out AIG. IT turned out later that the only non-government person involved in this meeting was a person from Goldman Sacs and Goldman was on he hook to AIG for $20 billion dollars... and then there is the aforementioned Goldman link.

I don’t see why many comments are limited to soros. Nation-states like Russia and China have a great vested interest in the outcome of this election and certainly had the resources to knock down some dominos in the already-fragile US financial system. You have to imagine both countries are laughing themselves silly over the DNC/Obama taking over the white house. Independent foreign policy/strategic posture from the US is over for the next 4 years.
I found it most curious in retrospect that the russian market absolutely has died since the US crisis started 2 months ago.
