Did you notice who got slammed the hardest in the Madoff swindle? It looks to me like it was mostly lefties, including some hard-core socialists and anti-American charities and organizations, including the ACLU and an organization that represented Gitmo terrorists. This got me to thinking (dangerous, I know).
Imagine the Madoff phenomenom spread far and wide... it would not be a stretch to wonder if Madoff may be the teensy-weensy tip of a monstrous iceberg. The global markets have taken a gigantic hit. What was it last I looked, about 35%?
We don't know exactly who lost how much, but again, it is no stretch to suspect that some very big names lost a whole lot of money, and therefore, power and influence. Pundits, reporters and "experts" have barely begun to sort out what happened, let alone who got slammed the hardest.
Now, suppose some very smart people in the Bush Administration - - very smart people who had very special access ("inside information", if you will) to banking, tax, and financial data from all over the globe - - were to quietly tip off certain friends to find safe harbor for their money while at the same time manipulating markets in order to bait certain bad guys... And then suppose that when these manipulators with special access to inside information saw that the bad guys had their mouths full of cheese, they sprung a trap...
It's interesting that this "economic meltdown" was announced when it was, and with such wide-eyed, "sky is falling" rhetoric and alarm - - but it WAS announced during the Bush Administration's last throes, and it was announced by Bush's Treasury Secretary Henry Paulsen with Bush's full support. Then, in almost no time at all, Congress goes and passes a no-strings-attached $700 billion dollar "bailout" because they, admittedly, are scared half to death by what Paulsen has told them.
Now, incredibly, we find that the "bailout" money is being used IN SECRET! And WHO is determining the winners and losers in the bailout lottery? That's right - - George W. Bush, through his Treasury Secretary Henry Paulsen, is determining who the winners and losers are. This whole thing is starting to smell to me like the rats once again, headshakingly, walked into a brilliant trap.
Did George Bush get the last laugh? I truly wonder if George Bush has been misunderestimated again, and I also wonder if George Soros has just lost a whole lot of money.
Yep, just wondering.
What a very interesting line of thought.
Too bad that even if you are 100% correct, you’ll never be able to prove it.
Great stuff! most interesting thread I have been on in a long time. The posts were thoughtful and convincing, someone needs to write a book. It would be a great time to be young, lean and active in the machine - 7 days in May, anyone?
