Soros: It's the 2008 crisis all over again
CNBC ^ | January 7, 2015 | Matt Clinch

Billionaire financier George Soros is warning of an impending financial markets crisis as investors around the world were roiled by turmoil in China trade for the second time this week.

Speaking at an economic forum in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo, he told an audience that China is struggling to find a new growth model and its currency devaluation is transferring problems to the rest of the world, according to media. He added that a return to rising interest rates was proving difficult for the developing world.

But in 2008 a Republican was in the White House. Now Soros's boy is.

This isn’t possible. The economy has recovered. How can we be seeing the same crisis if we have been improving. /s

But, it’s not about who is in power when crisis hits, it’s all about getting into power his “boy” (or “girl”) that counts.

That is why Obama was crying. The world sees the failure that he is.

The start of the 2008 market crash was “somebody” withdrawing 500 billion from the money markets within two hours.
I think it was Soros.
Recall Dubya giving that talk about “ financial attack”?
And then nothing more was heard of it?

Soros is just trying to start a stampede. He probably has multiple short positions...just needs a big sell-off so he can cash out.

He’s not running his mouth because he’s s nice guy.

For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows (I Tim. 6:10).

What I was thinking too. These guys never say anything unless they have it rigged to start with.

So Georgey after getting your guy elected in 2008, and reelected in 2012 you are now admitting that you and your boy are complete failures? Or is this the run up to “I should have backed Hillary” to ensure four possibly eight more years of inept leadership, foreign turmoil, attacks on liberty and destruction of America? Why don’t you just go away and spend your last days counting your ill gotten gains starting with the German marks paid to help relieve fellow Jews of their possessions in Nazi occupied Hungary.

Amen and amen.

Someone who will turn Jews over the Nazi's will do/say anything.

If there was any justice in this life the man would be shunned at least. I have a feeling he might be looking at some hard time in the next life.

Of course George Soros could “warn” of the “crisis”. He was behind a good deal of it, then and now, with his “going short” in so many investments, then launching like a vulture at the broken and scattered road kill as a result.

Is there a way to strip this person of his US citizenship? And to turn him over to the French and British for long-overdue prosecution?

Just his involvement in firing up the rioters in Ferguson, Missouri, should have won him an indictment under US Federal laws against racketeering. But of course, that would have to be done by the Department of Just-Us, no longer a legitimate law enforcement agency.

so making yourself poor by devaluing your currency transfers your problems to others overseas? Maybe USD should adopt this as well

We know that photo is a fake.

Obola is speaking in front of Soros without a visible teleprompter.

(Then again, Obola is speaking while looking up and out at the “non-existant” crowd-in-the-far-ceiling vision ....

Lots of links lost or scrubbed, but the research I did post crash and election lead me to believe it was a form of financial attack. Lots of middle East money was invested in the finance houses and was suddenly pulled via the Thailand markets. Saudi Arabia had been prepping for it for nearly a year. Now SA is again in financial trouble... Watch China , but it is the SA Royal family where attention needs to be focused.
