What Thursday is he referring to? The Infowars article indicates 9/15/2008 but that was a Monday.

It would had to of been Sept 11th? Sounds right...by the time the Fed realized what was going on/who was up to what/how to explain it/ect it probley would of took that long to come up with a story to tell the Reps that sounded plausable...

I think we've ducked and dodged this thing for long enough...It's bound to happen soon if things continue down the path they are. I place all the blame in the government- dumb decisions, wrong people getting tax payers money,mindless squabbling instead of making a decision for the good of the people....the list goes on. They are the disease and cure. Unfortunately, things don't change overnight. We may potentially be looking at a few years of this, if not decades perhaps even!

The problem I have is the speed and timing of this "depression"... it coincides well with the handing off of the presidency. There is a New World Order, and a New World Financial Order in the works, and to bring this about, the old system has to be destroyed.

That is where we are right now, the absolute man-made destruction of the old economic system, to create mass poverty, mass suffering so that the solution to the problem will seem like a blessing.

This is a financial power struggle, it is an act of war against us the people. This is economic warfare and we the people are the intended targets. It's a financial blitzkrieg. I wish we could all wake up and see that is all a con, and we are being manipulated into a global restructering.

It won't matter...they'll have to pump in up to $60 Trillion to convince the CDO/CDS holders (Shadow Bankers) that it's safe to come out and play again. The clock is ticking...interest payments on Commercial/Municipal bonds are coming due...businesses/states are broke...banks can't keep enough capitol to cover their future losses and won't lend (insolvent). I'm afraid you can't get credit at any price...even if ya could afford it you would soon be to poor to pay on it once again at this rate.



I'm starting to wonder if they are not the cause of this mess you know when you have all the money the next game in town is power over the masses!
