[Interesting Times]

Now THAT is interesting.

I wonder if this entire financial crisis was orchestrated for political reasons.

Bingo....isn’t this a strange coincidence...5 weeks before the election? I am glad FBI involved...hope they can solve this quickly and get answers out soon!!

George $oreA$$, Snobamie’s puppet master is probably behind this blowup in with the liberal owned and controlled investment houses which are rapidly going out of business with the rupture of this mess.

He tried to bring down our country and make his puppet SnoBami, King with his and other hedge funds manipulation of the oil markets. That has failed miserably and backfired big time on him and the rats.

So next he and the other would be king makers for SnoBami brought this long festering sore to a head and it ruptured. Normally the sheeple run to the rats for protection when there is real or imagined financial problems like the worse economy since Hoover bs, (which also didn’t work for them).

This too will backfire and cost the rats in congress and probably Snobami his crown as president of the world.

The failure today of their dead cat bounce in oil prices will bring more hedgefunds into failure with the death of Pellosi galore’s phoney drilling bill and the expiration of the old ban on drilling.

We will probably see most hedge funds refusing to allow their share holders to cash out to avoid more blood baths. They could become an endangered species and end up like the DoDo bird.

Not orchestrated, but exploited. Yes, it was. There are some fabulously wealthy individuals who could afford to take losses in order to win this election. They would do whatever it took.
Even this.

Same here.

Possibly not orchestrated but accelerated. Bush may just be cleaning up house while he is in power allowing McCain/Palin to play the good guys.

It will be interesting to see how the FBI investigation that starts now gets completed under the guidance of Palin!

It should not surprise us at all, given the players involved and past experience. In fact, I tend to think the timing was influenced.

Great. Let Dem policies (Andrew Cuomo's to be precise) force a certain percentage [50%] of mortgages to go to low-income folks, and when the companies fail as a result, blame the party that opposed such irresponsible regulatory policies.
