"A $550 Billion Electronic Run on the Banks"
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 02/11/2009 | Free America

Posted on 02/11/2009 4:07:10 AM PST by Free America52

This is un-frickin-believable. The financial crisis was deliberate, planned, staged. Who made the run? "Someone threw us in the middle of the Atlantic ocean without a life raft. We are trying to determine which is the closest shore and whether there is any chance in the world to swim that far. We don't know."

Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania explains what former Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Bernanke told congress during the September 2008 closed door session. During the first third of the video an enraged caller is ranting to Rep. Kanjorski about how wasteful the first $700 billion bailout was. The best part is 2 minutes and 15 seconds into the tape where Rep. Kanjorski reveals what Paulson and Bernanke told congress that shocked them into supporting the first $700 billion bailout.

AS FAR AS an investigation, since there's no scrambling about or “talk” in DC about this....no massive headlines....no immediate call for an investigation...what does that tell you?

Why is this not front page news? This needs to be pushed and pushed HARD! I knew this was manipulated from the get go.

This has George Soros written all over it.

There is still a warrant outstanding for him in Russia for doing the same thing there back in the 1990s. Soros manipulated the Russian currency market, making billions, and destroying the value of the rouble in the process. The rouble went from $0.17 in 1998 to $0.03 in 2002.

In 2005, the Russian police raided his Moscow offices, closed them down, and arrested everyone there. Other arrests followed.

Unfortunately, Soros was here in the States at the time, which has no extradition treaty with Russia.

A couple of questions:

-since the $550B was intentionally withdrawn, probably with the intention of wreaking havoc on the market (October surprise), couldnt those agents re-invest that money at a later date to make the economy look healthy under Obammy’s direction?

-Why did it take five and one-half months for this to come out?

-The whole thing smells (like rancid pork).

This explains where there was the talk of “if we survive this.” (I can’t remember who exactly said that, but it was either the President or one of the Republican Senators.)

But I have a question, if 500 billion was pulled out over the course of a couple hours (stated in the article)...how do you come to the conclusion that within a couple more hours 4 trillion would have been drawn out?

It sure was, by W's economic incompetence.

And President Bush asked for the rest of the TARP money before he left office so O could have the funds on the day he took office.

There is no plan, no one in the O cabal has any clues at all on how to stabilize the banking system.

Geithner is so flawed that he has no moral authority at all. Therefore, there is no confidence in him or anything he devises eventually.

Rush talked about this yesterday — that guy “Present” Obama doesn’t want us to listen to — fascinating.

Of course we knew it was contrived and sanctioned by Congress. Consider the timing and who profits from our demise. Wasn’t it JP Morgan who made the initial run on the banks almost 100 years ago to set the stage for a Federal Reserve and not so Great Depression?

Soros may well be involved, but he has to have others helping. That could be Russia, China, and any other country who owns our debt.

We are in grave danger and this plan to throw us further into debt will be the end of America.

We either trust our country to anyone who would buy our debt or we print our own dollars. Soon it will take a thousand dollars of funny money to buy a loaf of bread.

I call Obama “The Resident” or the “Resident Usurper”.

It’s much easier for some people to believe in a conspiracy theory than to come to terms with how bad the GOP is.

Believe what? Barack Obama was down 8 points in the polls and losing ground days before the crisis hit. Remember hearing how his one strength was the economy? Immediately after the announcement he took the lead.

Remember, Geithner is an IMF (communist UN) man.

Last night blogger reminded me of a thread I had read before the sh!t hit the fan last fall. I dismissed it as black helicopter fuel at the time. Not so sure anymore.

Moonman are you a troll? Of course we know that the GOP is toast and way too liberal but you keep posting as though Bush and the GOP did this without the help of and liberal congress. Go back to DU where you belong.
