Pajamas Media gives an exclusive look at an analysis prepared for the Department of Defense’s Irregular Warfare Support Program (IWSP) by Cross Consulting and Services in 2009 that alleges that the economic meltdown in 2008 was no accident. Kevin Freeman argued that a run-up of speculation by sovereign-wealth funds created a bubble in the oil industry that allowed bear raids on American financial institutions, using credit swaps and other non-regulated investment instruments to crash the US financial system. Bill Gertz reported on the analysis today for the Washington Times:
Evidence outlined in a Pentagon contractor report suggests that financial subversion carried out by unknown parties, such as terrorists or hostile nations, contributed to the 2008 economic crash by covertly using vulnerabilities in the U.S. financial system.
The unclassified 2009 report “Economic Warfare: Risks and Responses” by financial analyst Kevin D. Freeman, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, states that “a three-phased attack was planned and is in the process against the United States economy.”

Automatically I would wonder how many times something similar had been tried by would be market sabotagers before. Maybe this time they were “lucky”?
You mean like Barney and Chris holding the government hostage to one of their social welfare redistribution schemes?
dont forget how the goverment has drained us dry.
I think it was more likely some of the big manipulators like Soros or Goldman Sachs or J.P. Morgan. There was definitely some manipulation, but more likely from the NWO crowd or the banksters than “terrorists.”
The Saudis and some of the other oil sheikhs have that kind of money, but I don’t think it’s in their interest to bring down the world economy. In fact, I suspect that they’re seriously annoyed with Obama for letting things get out of hand like they have, in Tunisia and Egypt.
That can’t help, but mostly the rich, liberal set who live in their ivory towers and trade futures were almost unscathed.
Many people were suspicious that something organized was going on when that meltdown occurred. Maybe if we just let it happen, we would have found out that it was a deliberate attack on our economy. As it stands there has been no satisfactory explanation. To the contrary the current administration does not want us to know the sinister nature of the event. Thanks to places like Pajamas Media, and Michael Savage's book "Trickle up Poverty," more and more information on that event is being made public.
That’s been quite a broadcast and dissemination today (many columns). The answer is no. The economy was undermined in late 2007 by global interests. There were many disseminations then that reduced consumer activity would slow Asian manufacturing down and bring oil prices down. ...didn’t happen. From December 1st, 2007, there was a general, early hiring freeze. Layoffs began after that.
It didn’t work. Oil is still going up, and the dollar, down, while east Asia continues to increase production.
The McCain-Palin ticket was starting to really surge and had pulled ahead in polling...then the mysterious meltdown occured. Timing is everything.
That depends on your definition of “terrorist”.
Are the Boston Fed, Bawney Fwank, Jimmy Carter and his Community Reinvestment Act, Bill Clinton and his enforcement of it, W and his utopian ownership society and greedy CEOs, credit analysts and boards of directors considered terrorists?
If so the answer is yes.
The McCain-Palin ticket was starting to really surge and had pulled ahead in polling...then the mysterious meltdown occured. Timing is everything.
The financial meltdown was the result of US TAXPYER GUARANTEED LOANS TO BUY $200,000 Houses TO PEOPLE COULD NOT PAY FOR FOOD!!!! This is unbelievable denial of the obvious!!!
But it began in 2006, coincident with the Democratic sweep, and maintained through the Bush terminus.
The curious thing to me is that the "Republicans" (of which establishment I am no friend) did not make more of this correlation in 2008. It was ripe for target.
I remember hearing about this and would like to read the article but it's no longer at this link. I guess that means it didn't happen /s
Don’t forget, $150/bbl. oil. If it wasn’t the spark, it was the match. Failing that, it was the tinder.
Yep. And then the economy went south faster then they may have wanted to bring their ideal Marxist agenda to reality. I think they played the hand too early and too strongly and we woke up.
I wouldn’t eliminate this as a possibility. Other fundamental factors set us up for a financial meltdown. Someone or several someones could have interfered to make it worse than it would otherwise have been.
God how I do remember this day and the weeks that followed, as I could not shake the deep feeling in my pit that this “crash” was no accident and that it was planned and executed on cue to help the Won, before he was the ‘Won’ but only the ‘One’, win. Within a month my home lost 30% of it’s value. Terrorists my a$$. This is a smokescreen. There was pure evil at work then, and the players are now mocking WTP for believing their lies covering their evil deeds. Our economy is under attack alright, but I seriously doubt it is by some muzzies in caves. We witnessed their preferred method for ‘crashing’ the market on 9/11/01. What happened in 2007 was indeed another attack, but by whom has not been revealed ... yet.
