Didn’t OBL make some statement about bankrupting the US?

Is Soros directly involved? Maybe, but there is zero doubt in my mind that he’s clearly been providing his counsel to the Dims in how to muck up an economy and make things kind of bumpy. It’s an ideal situation for him really. His fingerprints are no where near the whole thing, and he’s got willing idiots in Congress that are jusssssssst dumb enough to be manipulated into doing things that will bringabout financial challenges that the Dims can literally profit from in some case financially and certainly major political benefits.

My thoughts were even more paranoid than yours. It’s economic terrorism. Whoever the money manipulators are, they have effectively “accomplished” the same thing as the terrorists on 9/11. Just not as obvious or messy.

I thought from the beginning of the rise in oil prices that Soros and his minions were speculating. It started in January for no good reason - almost like someone was flipping the calendar and said, “Ok, it’s the first of the year. Time to start manipulating the price of oil.” He is a master of destruction, so it would not surprise me in the least to find out that he is involved.

I’d say yes, except that it is emerging now how tied in all of Barry’s “advisers” and power brokers (such as Fannie Mae’s Franklin Raines and other members of the black Dem power structure) were to the initial trigger of the collapse, bad mortgage loans. I can’t see how this could be good for him. Of course, I suppose it could have a harmful effect only if it gets reported, which so far doesn’t appear to be happening anywhere outside of FR.

I was going to use those exact words, “economic terrorism” in my post.

You’re not alone in thinking this by a long-shot. I’m hoping that this is also being considered during all of the closed-door meetings at the White House. It stinks to high Heaven.

When I heard yesterday about the second 400 plus point drop in the Dow (in three days), one word came to mind: COLLUSION. From the appearance of this thread it looks like a case of GMTA. (not that I'm a great mind...)

Even before I went into looking at the postings, George Soros comes to mind. I am sure the stock market volatility is due to his manipulation.

I was thinking about this today and then I saw your thread. Moments after I posted those words here, I clicked on this one:

Stop Trading!: Financial Terrorism?

Seems like quite a few people are 'speculating' about the possibility.

Well lets look at this closely. I have been reading Jerome Corsi’s book “obama nation”. And in it I read a passage that sent chills down my spine. The past few days as reports come out on the democRATS that recieved money from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, I noticed that Barack is second on the list of recieving the most. I didn’t think much of it until I got to a part in Jerome’s book it is on page 131 for those who have it, the first paragraph. It is chilling that this book was written a couple of months ago before this great debacle of bailing them out happened. Here is what I found to be spine chilling to me at least. “Alinsky (Saul) taught practitioners of his methods the importance of raising the consciousness of the economically disadvantaged, who were typically also minorities. The goal was to STIR the pain of economic suffering in order to create awareness in an economic underclass of its member’s disadvantages. From there, the community organizer’s job was to mobilize the discontent into political power”

Does this sound familiar? We all know he was a community organizer and that he needed to get into politics to further his agenda. This plan for running for President was planned awhile back, and now that he has George SOros and the MSM behind him, he thinks it is within reach. Please everyone, I urge you to get the word out about this evil tyrant the best way you know how. THe politics of Obama is very complicating to the average voter who doesn’t understand what this man stands for, but we must find a way to stop this man at all cost. Or there will be hell to pay for the middle class, if not “WHITEY”.

I’ve also wondered if it’s some kind of financial jihad.

Maybe it’s both.

This year's October Surprise: George Soros is indicted for advising and leading the runup in the speculation on the price of oil and the naked short selling on financial services company stocks in an illegal manner. That would crash Obama's campaign (and possibly much of the Democratic Party) almost overnight.

Or should I get out my tinfoil hat?
Comments?

Already there 2 days ago.
It's almost as if this financial crisis was planned so that Republicans could be blamed for the economic downturn. /X-Files scenario

Yes, he did. In 2004.

I've been wondering, the past couple of days, just who was doing this - - Arabs who were making the transactions to wreck the economy per OBL, or Dems, for political purposes.
It's nice to see I'm not the only one thinking along either line.
