The Hidden Soros Agenda (Was Soros behind Sep 18th Electronic Money Market Run?)
Accuracy in Media ^ | October 27, 2004 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 02/11/2009 9:53:09 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

"Convicted in France of insider trading, Soros specializes in weakening or collapsing the currencies of entire nations for his own selfish interests. He is known as the man who broke the Bank of England. His power is such that his statements alone can cause currencies to go up or down."

He was funding BOTH Obama and McCain.

He was hedging his bets.

That way he wins no matter who wins.

Correct. Tin foil is on a run.

Soros is wrong about politics, but he is not the head of Spectre.

So why is Soros still breathing?

Because our Dear Leader is in power because of this, and certainly appreciated the help. Now the Chi-Coms and the Russian mob on the other hand lost a bundle. They are even seeing their grips on power slip because of Mr. Soro's actions. We might want to send them his address. I hear they are a bit less stringent on rules and procedure then the US.

Wonder why Soros would do this....because he not only funded Obama....but has contributed to John McCain in the past.

Soros might prop up RINOS like McCain because they weaken Conservatism and the Republican Party.

Rep. Kanjorski: $550 Billion Disappeared in "Electronic Run On the Banks"
"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."


FLASHBACK: from 9/15/08:

“U.S. President George W. Bush said Monday he is confident
that the markets are resilient and can deal with the latest financial blows.
“We are working to reduce disruptions and minimize the impact
these financial market developments on the broader economy.” ...

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama
said eight years of Bush “brought us the most serious financial crisis
since the Great Depression.”

His Republican rival said John McCain said he was happy the
federal government decided not to use taxpayer dollars to bail out Lehman Brothers.”

How did Obama know THEN
that we would experience the ‘most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression’
when those who did not plan the takeover would not know for three more months?


October 10, 2008, another massive selloff.


Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota,
points out some interesting facts concerning the Presidential Election2008

* Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
* Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
* Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
* Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

Me too. Wonder if he was also behind the oil price run-up.

It would have been pretty easy to do:

Run up oil prices on speculation then naked short financial stocks to bring not only their value down, but also the value of their reserve assets (mark-to-market) causing them to cover the reserve loss with cash. You can bring a big bank down like that in a hurry.

The timing was too impeccable for it not to have been engineered by someone or some group.

I could buy your argument if it had happened a couple of months before. But just as the candidates were going into the October month of a Presidential campaign? And with the favorite sputtering, stumbling and losing momentum?

That event turned the momentum of a close campaign at a fortuitous time for "That One."

This information on the Soros McCain connection is just one of the reasons I will never vote for McCain.  Anyone who could be cozy with these people is someone I don't want anywhere near our government.

2001/00/00
McCain founded the Reform Institute funded by George Soros' Open Society Institute, Teresa Heinz Kerry's Tides Foundation, several other non-profits.  CapnsQtrs  Malkin WND  Contains information on Juan Hernandez and numerous McCain Campaign staff from 2000, that found potitions at the Reform Institute  Contains information on who funded McCain's efforts on Campaign Finance Reform, Comprehansive Immigration Reform and a number of Global Warming bills listed in this timeline

I absolutely believe he's the evil wizard behind the curtain, pulling the strings of the global economy for his purposes and those of his puppets.

He's the devil incarnate.

Echo From Davos: George Soros And The Bad Bank

Soros A regular at the annual meetings in Davos, George Soros gave a keynote address (right) to an opening media lunch, spoke at private dinners, huddled in a hotel lobby with Nobel-prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, and sat for round after round of interviews.

In answer to one question about his own billions, Soros told reporters that in a year when the market dropped 40 percent, he ended 2008 in positive territory. "I was able to protect my capital," Soros said

Treasury Plan Flaw: Where Is George Soros?

A number of aspects of the bank bailout program presented by the Treasury yesterday troubled investors. The biggest problem was that it lacked details about how it would work.

One of the most important aspects of the plan is the “public/private” aspect to get institutional investor to buy distressed assets side-by-side with the government.

The big question is why wasn’t George Soros at the presentation saying he was willing to put $100 million dollars into the program?

I thought Soros was behind the oil price run-up, too. He has said publicly that he hates the US and wants to destroy it. I will try to look for a link. And, by the way, his father and other members of his family were complicit with the Nazis in WWII.

The timing was horrific, yes. If you want to put on the Tin Foil, assume nefarious insiders triggered the demise of Lehman...something opaque and presided over by lots of self-interested folks including our erstwhile tax-cheat-in-chief, Geithner. The fallout of THAT act triggered the money fund failure which in turn triggered the epic run.

Soros is also sending his former employees to work for other companies such as the communications industry.

And it was no accident that a Huffington Post minion was in the front row at Obama’s presser.

So, if Mr. Soros was to have a fatal “accident”, it would be a good thing?
