If Bush understands how a simple misplaced word can roil the markets...

[bridgit]

any and all markets; then how much more guilty is he for the rising state of oil futures (which really only benefit his Big Oil/Big Bizz buddies & donors) when he threatens the entire world with his insatiable saber rattling? the decline of all things civil?

1. He can barely speak the language at all.

If markets react to presidential comments, why hasn't the market crashed by now?

[bridgit]

2. aren't the markets reacting to what he doesn't actually say in that case..

but are reading him closer than he is able to read himself

3. The Plunge Protection Team

the Bush Protection Team (the pigmedia) keep quiet about the PPT, which was set up after regan era near meltdown of the stock market (1987, i believe) which might have been inspired by iran contra and the savings/loan scandal-it sure's hell distracted everybody, didn't it! The present Bush has thrown monkee wrenches into the economic machinery; the idea being that if people are worried about mortgage payments, they don't pay att'n to the fact the news is really fixed with end results defined by the Bush Protection Team.....and that's what we're spoon fed ...btw the nyse was recently sold to private consortium, after 200 years as a service type organization...the pigmedia mentioned it a bit, while anxiously describing what tom said to katie, and whether or not they 'fornicated' to conceive their child(!!)

5. the bilderburg isn't no joke - it's a thieves' nest

"Some of the delegates are politicians, but everyone is here privately," the Turnberry conference source told The Scotsman. "It inspires frothing at the mouth of conspiracy theories, but the purpose of the privacy is to allow delegates to have a frank and constructive debate and get to the heart of things knowing that they are not going to be reported."

Of course, this secrecy also guarantees that the vast majority of the world's citizenry is kept completely in the dark regarding Bilderberg deliberations, even though the consensus of the Group may affect national and international government and commerce.

The extremes to which the Bilderberg goes to achieve this level of secrecy raises serious suspicions about the Group's motives in the minds of many. Critics of the Bilderberg say:

6. absolutely no joke, the manipulation of futures & commodities for...

the benefit of what turn out to be a select few, by way of an ill word...or a war, or threat of war & further, unchecked chaos; is clearly no-less than a nefarious doing imo
