The Chinese “received a message from the Russians” back in 2008 suggesting a pact to sell Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities on the market, which would have nudged down the price of the debt of Fannie and Freddie and also maximized the chaos on Wall Street, a former U.S. official told BBC. It confirms a report that TheBlaze TV’s For the Record first aired back in September 2013.

So... The democrats tanked the economy on purpose to win an election?
imagine that...
Nawwwww... Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson and Jaime Gorelick were only HELPING us! They didn’t even want the millions they got as bonuses....all of them made multi-millionaires thru FM2
In the article Paulson says it never actually happened?
China realized that they had bought worthless mortgage backed securities and thought about selling them to limit loss?
Thanks, twotone!
Hoosiermama, ping to post; see FR mail.
The 1st WTC bombing was an attack against the economy and was proceeded by an orchestrated recession.
The 9/11 attack was also an attack against the economy and was also proceeded by an orchestrated recession.
The subway bombing which was planned for NYC which Obama finally stopped in 2009, but not until after both Bush and the Brits warned him about the bombing threat, would have also been an attack against the economy and Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! it was proceeded by an orchestrated recession.
Just curious, what happens if Russia and China calls in their debt over Ukraine dust up and is there now a threat of a major terrorist attack with this missing plane?
Maybe China didn’t go along with it then, but since then they have been amassing gold, buying assets all over the world, and making trade deals with countries other than U.S.
Regardless of who did what - it should be obvious that $17 trillion (and growing) in debt is not a smart national security strategy.
Based on the total irrationality of Wall Street’s recent behavior, who knows. The Fed pumping has completely removed logic from the entire enterprise.
In the article Paulson says it never actually happened?Correct. It never happened. Further, it was supposed to be a deal between Russia and China alone - so I don't see how American officials, regardless of party, would be involved in it. Unless the implication is that the Democrats are actually in the pay of Russia. Which could be.
Something’s afoot...
Did you mean preceded?
I don’t care what the mozzies do with that stolen Boeing 777, as long as they fill it with gasoline and crash it onto McCain.
I believe the democrats were complicit in this in some way as their ‘October surprise’.
