Yesterday the BBC<\/a> posted a story about the role of Russia<\/a> and China in the financial collapse in the United States<\/a> in 2008. The article notes that the Russians<\/a> and the Chinese<\/a> considered creating a financial crisis in the United States<\/a>, but did not act on the idea.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Now this is where we enter the territory of a geopolitical thriller. Mr Paulson:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Here I’m not going to name the senior person, but I was meeting with someone\u2026 This person told me that the Chinese had received a message from the Russians which was, ‘Hey let’s join together and sell Fannie and Freddie<\/a> securities on the market.’ The Chinese weren’t going to do that but again, it just, it just drove home to me how vulnerable I felt until we had put Fannie and Freddie into conservatorship [the rescue plan for them, that was eventually put in place].”<\/strong><\/p>\n

For me this is pretty jaw-dropping stuff – the Chinese told Hank Paulson<\/a> that the Russians were suggesting a joint pact with China to drive down the price of the debt of Fannie and Freddie, and maximize the turmoil on Wall Street<\/a> – presumably with a view to maximizing the cost of the rescue for Washington and further damaging its financial health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paulson says this guerrilla skirmish in markets by the Russians and Chinese didn’t happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now wait a minute. Even if the Russians and Chinese decided to manipulate American markets, the housing bubble was a result of the policies of the American Congress–no one else is to blame.<\/p>\n

I have posted the YouTube video<\/a> “Burning Down the House” <\/a>before, but in case you missed it, here it is again. This video explains the cause of the 2008 financial meltdown. The information included in the video is a matter of public record, but has not been widely reported.<\/p>\n

Please watch the video and draw your own conclusions.<\/p>\n
