Stop Trading!: Financial Terrorism? – Posted By:Tom Brennan, cnbc.com
The damage being done to stocks through short selling, where Wall Streets most legendary institutions are losing value at alarming rates, could be the work of financial terrorism. *** Cramers been talking to the short sellers he knows, and thats the theory theyve been putting forward. His sources said that its doubtful that the markets traditional short sellers are behind the negative action weve seen lately. So there is the possibility that someone else has been trying to wreak havoc in the markets rather than just profit from the problems of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and others. *** Cramer, who was merely relaying what he heard, did say that, given the fact that the U.S. is in a financial nationally emergency, the financial terrorism thing, to me, has to be put on the table just because the regular short sellers are not doing this.
People can say anything and certainly will in troubling times. This is an awful thing to contemplate but it’s also something that in this crazy upside down world we must not take lightly or pass off as just another conspiracy theory. The nut job from Iran declared last June that the US was soon to be finished and Israel dead…
Last June 2, 2008 as reported in Agence-France Presse per FOX News:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted that Muslims would uproot satanic powers and reaffirmed his prediction that the Jewish state will soon be wiped off the map… *** “Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started,” the hard-line president said. (emphasis mine)
This week at the UN, presenting an amicable face, he called for love, peace and justice:
(editors correction…the following quote is from his speech last year)
A small portion of Ahmadinejads speech at the UN npr.org:
Today, humanity passionately craves commitment to the Truth, devotion to God, quest for Justice and respect for the dignity of human beings. Rejection of domination and aggression, defense of the oppressed, and longing for peace constitute the legitimate demand of the peoples of the world, particularly the new generations and the spirited youth, who aspire a world free from decadence, aggression and injustice, and replete with love and compassion. The youth have a right to seek justice and the Truth; and they have a right to build their own future on the foundations of love, compassion and tranquility. And, I praise the Almighty for this immense blessing. (emphasis mine)
It would be like him to arrange a speech of this nature as the result of his handiwork is playing out on the world stage. This possibility would also point to the governments quick intervention to shore up and rescue the financial sector.
I have no evidence, just a curious, cautious mind. Any thoughts people?
