Some scary details have emerged from Hank Paulson's memoirs.

Allegedly, it appears Russia may have tried to conspire with China in a bid to collapse the U.S. financial system. They were hoping to sell Fannie and Freddie bonds during a time when the U.S. economy was on the ropes.

This happened back around the Beijing Olympics, when the U.S. was supporting Georgia against Russia in the conflict over Ossetia

Me three. Bin Laden is a hologram used by Russia and our enemies in the ME to give them cover to do whatever the hell they want to do to us without fear of reprisal.

They, along with the fascist leftovers from Eastern Europe and the leadership in the ME absolutely hate us with a red hot passion. They hate us for WW2, supporting Afghanistan against Russia, missile shields, supporting Israel, you name it. They created Bin Laden and Al Qaeda as the throw down whipping boy when they want to hit us hard.

The Russian selloff may have been a trial balloon. Had it been felt that the US economy would have had a chance to completly collapse, the Chinese would have followed suit.

BTW the Russians hold about 200 billion of our national debt.

Remember what team Soros is really working for...

It is not America, not any “Orange Revolution”, not Europe. He is working for the SVR (KGB) and the GRU.

We will get even when we develop the stealth UAV. They can get a taste of what terrorism can be with a little technology thrown into the mix.

We have a president who owes his soul to Soros. Our president is a puppet on Soros’ strings.

Isn’t it George Soros who is trying to maneuver the collapse of the U.S. dollar?

Ben Bernanke. Soros is just a businessman trying to make a profit from it.

Goldman Sachs was selling its own subprime paper. Investment banks were cranking out more subprime paper than the GSEs.
