My Conspiracy Theory About Economic Bailout - The Election Has Been Decided

Am I the only one who thinks there is something fishy about this economic "crisis"? Government generally moves so slow and never makes bold moves - except in rare cases.

-Bush pushed to start the Iraq war without allowing anyone to think it through.
-Enron orchestrated energy "shortages" and moved so quickly no one had time to think things through.

I'm getting the feeling we've seen this scenario before. Scare tactics, complicated issues, and extreme urgency to push an ideological agenda. On last night's Daily Show, they show Bush's Economy speech shown side by side with his Iraq war speech. It's the same speech almost word for word.

In hindsight, we all know the Iraq war was for profits. My guess is this economic meltdown has been orchestrated the same way. The market has been manipulated to "help" friends of the administration to swallow up companies that don't want to play ball. The faster a deal gets signed, the less chance someone will figure out what's really going on. As Willie Brown wrote last week, "When someone loses money in the stock market, someone else makes money. Where did all the money go?"

Sarah Palin is the red herring. While the media is distracted by her nuttiness, the shadow government is setting themselves up so they come out ahead no matter who wins. My theory is, the economic meltdown was initially started to generate more money to assure a Republican rein for 8 more years. Now that the McCain campaign is going down the tubes, it's turned into a last minute slash-and-grab before anyone figures out what's going on.

I predict that the election was decided yesterday in that "economic summit". The debate was not about banking, it was about hashing out immunity for Bush and dividing up the profits from the Wall Street mess in exchange for "allowing" Obama to win.

Have you ever gave any thought that the Chinese are forcing the issue? They hold so much paper on us that they might have told Bush we aren't going to lose our investment. So bail it out or we will dump this paper all over and drive the US into a complete depression.

Chinese investors could very well be part of my theory.

The last Bush did the same thing when the incumbent Democrat was going to win... and this Bush is doing it again x 10

Strange how things like that work :innocent:

is that you have no control. The elections are a joke and controlled. You want to think you have some tiny control over events that effect you but you do not.

Welcome to the new world.

The Chinese are actually making a killing in the US economy right now. They mainly invest in bonds. When the equity market takes a dive, then the bond market goes up. They have been cashing in their bonds as in one day the basis point went up 20 points. Quite a nice profit for all those billion dollar investments that they keep making in our economy.

What movie had that quote "Follow the money", in this case meaning that if you know who is profiting from the current "crisis" and can predict their motives, this will lead you to who the next prez will be.

I originally thought of your theory Lav, but here are four reasons I think it might not come to pass:

1. I have a hunch that Bush and Cheney are actually looking forward to leaving their jobs. Think about it, which would you rather have: book tours, highly paid speaking engagements and endless golf and hunting or hanging around DC and dealing with the next round of disasters? I could be wrong, but W seems like such a slacker I think he might be counting the days to getting back to Crawford.

2. If you believe in conspiracy theories and shadow governments, could it be in their benefit to have Obama in the White House? Think about it: if Obama gets elected there could certainly be a new feeling of optimism and hope across the nation and the world. Happier people spend more money and do more things, so wouldn't our unseen overlords profit from that?

3. Along those same lines, if foriegn contries are really pulling the strings on our government (as many suspect), wouldn't it to be in their interest to have happy Americans working harder and spending more money as opposed to the deep depression that half of America (and the world?) will be in if McCain/Palin win?

4. I think McCain knows that it was already decided that Obama would win so he was pissed and decided to do some bold things like putting Palin on the ticket. If he thought he had any chance to win I think he would have put someone more experienced in that job... unless part of the "plot" yet to unfold is Palin dropping out after a terrible debate performance this week.

Just something to think about.
