While the first page is interesting, page two of this article is sweet :o)


The $7 billion "October surprise"
It's a conspiracy theory as old as time itself: Powerful men will seek to control world financial markets to their own grand advantage. The latest version appears in the Florida right-wing news outlet NewsMax, but this time it's driven by purely political rather than financial gain. In fact, liberal multibillionaire George Soros may intentionally bankrupt himself, reports NewsMax staffer Jon E. Dougherty, with a plan to sink the stock market in October -- in order to oust President Bush in November.


"International financier George Soros is worth $7 billion -- and he so desperately wants to oust George Bush from the White House he says he would even give away his whole fortune to do so. Soros did not make this comment glibly, telling the Washington Post it would be a real consideration 'if someone could guarantee' Bush's defeat.

"The billionaire's zeal to unseat Bush has caught the notice of top policy-makers in Washington who worry that Soros would not need to risk his whole fortune to cause mischief. Here's the real worry: Could the master currency trader manipulate the financial markets to create a panic, collapsing the stock market or the U.S. dollar on the eve of the November election? The thought of such a scenario -- dubbed a 'Financial October Surprise' -- has some worried."
