1. I must pull all of my money out of the bank and put it under my mattress.
Al-CIA-DUH will stoop to any level to create fear. This is priceless. Someone hacking our system from a cave in Bora Bora, LMFAO.

2. Lame, maybe. But if you knew some really bad financial news
was on the horizon, this would be a good way to blame it on somebody else.

5. Seems logical. If they know crap is coming (and they do)
and they plan to put the breaks on by shutting down trade intermittently, who better to blame for disruptions than their stand-by whipping boy?

Just as a guess, the guys at the very top are taking care of their own investments now and will let the small investors, who are counting on portfolios to support them in their old age, hang.

The test ENRON and other companies ran worked so well for the fat cats, ya know they have expanded the game.

3. Keith Olbermann mentioned it, noting how it seemed to come out when Gingrich
is campaigning to do away with the First Amendment because of terrorism..

4. What if they send trolls to post on DU
Imagine if Al Kayder terrarist trolls post their vicious propaganda right here on DU! Better sign off immediately!

Better yet, they might go post in Freeperland. Should we warn the Freeps?

:evilgrin:
