Did China or Jihadists try to bankrupt America?
Daily Mail ^ | 3/2/11

Terrorists and other 'financial enemies' were likely responsible for the near collapse of the U.S. financial system in 2008, a new Pentagon report has concluded. The 2009 report, Economic Warfare: Risks and Responses, said financial terrorism by Jihadists or countries such as China may have cost the global economy $50 trillion in a series of co-ordinated strikes against the U.S. economy. In an astonishing conclusion, the report claims two unidentified traders deliberately.

Maybe Lenin was right:

"The surest way to destroy a nation is to debauch its currency."

"When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use."


I am sure if this is what happened there were Wall Street Insiders making money off it.

Really? From the UK’s Daily Mail? They are asking about jihadists or China being the source after watching Soros short their nation’s entire economy a few years back.

China or Jihadists are their focus? Really?

So they knocked down the credit default swap house of cards that was inevitably going to fall anyway?

So they did us a favor.

Good point.

"The over-leveraging of American households with mortgage debt, and this massive unsustainable spending by Congress that is driving the U.S. dollar into the sh!tter, are acts of foreign terrorism!"

This alibi was custom crafted for US, and that's cuz they think we're stupid.

Water seeks the least resistance; like that, they figure we'll swallow this bilge without question:

"These trailer-park, bible-toting gun kooks hate muslims and China, too --just blame them, and this way, we're off the hook...."

Greedy bankers did it, and their buddy Obama bailed them out.

Simple.

I don't doubt that foreign sources have an incentive to disrupt the US financial system. But when you create a bubble, it makes much easier for them to do so.

Whatever the Pentagon uncovers, there's no doubt, the US economy created her own bubble when the various financial institutions flooded the American economy with easy credit.

I think it was the PTB in the financial world, including Soros, to make sure Obama would be elected and ready to begin rebuilding Amerika into Socialism.

I believe it could only have happened when McCaskill snookered Hillary and the Repubs into letting Obama be eligible, and the plans were revealed at the Mar. 12, 2008 secret session of Congress. Shortly thereafter, Dean and Pelosi forced Hillary’s delegates to switch their votes to Obama. TARP was the result of info given at the secret session and Paulson had it ready but electronic trading had to be stopped anyway.

More anti-capitalist propaganda from the useful idiots who understand not a word of finance but spew commie propaganda and play into the hands of the commies destroying this country

Just look at this thread: Wall Street insiders, bankers did it...

No shame whatever, no respect for the truth, no respect for your own country. And call yourself conservative while repeating verbatim what socialists said for over one hundred years?

Is it any wonder that with conservatives like thee we have a commie in the White House?
