Pentagon Cover-Up: ‘For The Record’ Reveals the Buried Details on Economic Terror Tactics Used
The Blaze ^ | 9/18/2013 | Sara Carter

China, Russia and even Al Qaeda, among others, all have one thing in common: They believe that unconventional warfare against America’s economy is the best way to destroy our nation without actually ever having to fire a shot.

And our enemies almost made it happen in 2008.

On Thursday night’s episode of TheBlaze TV’s “For The Record,” “Unrestricted Warfare” (8:30 p.m. ET), former senior U.S. officials disclose what the Pentagon and Washington establishment had been hoping to bury — that the near economic collapse of the United States in 2008 was not due to widespread failures in government regulations, but a planned attack to destroy our nation perpetrated by both China and Russia.

On Sept. 11, 2008, investment banking firms Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns collapsed and that could have been caused by an intentional short-selling attack, said Kevin Freeman, a financial analyst who was commissioned by the Pentagon shortly after the economic meltdown.

“Someone with half-a-trillion dollars could literally cause a panic that would destroy the whole American economy,” he said.

George Soros has done this same thing over and over in several different countries (successfully, I might add)

He is a dead man if he ever sets foot on Thailand, I believe- and those sweet and loving people forgive you for almost ANYTHING

Does not make sense. If the ChiComs can’t sell crap to Walmart they’ll go down far quicker than we will.

Tin-foil hat on. However, it’s worth noting the crisis was the peak of the Palin-McCain ticket. McCain returned to DC, stopped campaigning, looked ineffectual, and lost it in the home stretch.

We know it was an attack and one of the facets of the attack was to install an Al Quaida President, who had - as far as we can see - already had a finger in 9.11.2001.

Lots of "mays" and "coulds" in the article without any smoking guns. As for Lehman Brothers' and Bear Stearns' collapse, it is stupid to blame a breeze for knocking down a house of cards. Look at those who built the house of cards or those who ordered it to be built.

I believe the Russians want him too. He should be careful. For pros, his residence looks like a death trap.

And all this time I thought George Soros was behind it.

Or...one community organizer from Chicago could destroy the American economy.

Way back at the height of collapse I did some research of my own. My conclusion then: It was a terrorist attack.

Much of the pre-financial trail has been scrubbed from the internet, but at the time one realized and could track that ‘someone’ pulled the trigger.

24-36 hours before the US market knew what hit it, over in Thailand, there was an unexplained huge withdrawal from the market. Russia, China? My research actually led to the Middle East...SA.

Several hostile arab countries had been buying up huge sectors of the western financial sectors for several years. All the companies/banks they bought in to...collapsed. Bad bets or planned attack?

The sucking sound started in Thailand...but even at the time...no one seemed to know where the billions went.

Thanks for your input. I did think the timing was curious right when Sarah and McCain were in the lead. A lot of Arab countries wanted Obama to win.

"Does not make sense. If the ChiComs can’t sell crap to Walmart they’ll go down far quicker than we will."

Except with no manufacturing base in the country, we have next to zero opportunity to put our own products on Walmart's shelves, and we go down quicker. I'm afraid we're outsourcing our defeat.

The 1st WTC bombing was an attack against the US economy.

It followed a recession orchestrated for the most part by the dems and their allies in the MSM.

The 9/11 attack was an attack against the US economy.

It followed a recession orchestrated by Bill Clinton and the UN with the Oil for Food program and smuggling of Iraqi oil driving the price of oil so low it created a world wide recession.

In 2008 there was a near complete collapse of the US economy and surprise surprise there was a terrorist attack in the works which was planned for NYC subway system, which would have pretty much shut down NYC and the rest of the economy.

Let’s not forget, prior to the 1st WTC bombing the dems and their allies in the MSM had ginned up civil unrest in the black community with the R King case and race riots were being planned.

Prior to the 9/11 attack the dems and their allies in the MSM had ginned up civil unrest in the black community with “Bush stole the election”.

In 2008 about the same time the economy took a nose dive, polls showed 51% of the American people didn’t believe the jug eared clown was eligible to be president and blacks were advocating race riots if the jug eared clown lost the election.

Everyone go back to sleep and keep telling yourselves, IT’S ALL JUST A COINCIDENCE!

In 2008, had everything come together as it was supposed to, economic collapse, race riots due to Zippo being declared ineligible to be president, and a terrorist attack, Bush would have had no choice but to declare martial law to regain order.

Had the election then taken place under these circumstances, Hillary would have been scooted into the WH with basically dictatorial powers.

Straight out of the Weather Underground playbook.

Three shorts triggered the whole thing, if I remember.
Almost on top of each other. Perfectly timed.
