re: #418 quickjustice

On September 16, 2008, in the midst of the presidential campaign, and just as John McCain passed Barack Obama in the polls, there was a $550 billion run on the banks. Mind-boggling. Intentional or coincidental? If intentional, our government is being blackmailed by the perpetrators right now, and we don’t even know it.

I heard that on Rush, who played the C-span clip of a congressman who heard it straight from Bernanke and Greenspan. It was $500 Billion in just a few hours. They had to close the banks, or, he said, they would have lost as much as 2 trillion if money had been withdrawn at the same rate.

Who has the power and motive to withdraw so much money so quickly without a triggering incident like a terror attack? I’ve heard that Geithner has been in daily consult with the Chinese.
