From The Lonely Conservative, we learn [tip of the fedora to Wombat-Socho's Live At Five*]
On July 21, 2011 a mystery investor made a $1 billion bet on the United States credit rating being downgraded, according to ETF Daily News. For some reason this has been ignored by the media and politicians.
The speculation from respectible sources is that it was George Soros making the bet and that he must have been relying on insider information, possibly from the Obama Administration. You will recall that Soros has given tens of millions of dollars to Obama’s campaigns and the satellite organizations connected thereto. They owe him, big time…..and this is one of the most corrupt Administration in U.S. history, so such speculations are not as far-fetched as they may at first seem.
Another thing to keep in mind: one of the standard tactics in the Leftist Playbook is to accuse the Right of what you yourself are doing. In light of the scurrilous charges the Leftists have made against the Koch Brothers, is it so outlandish to think that Soros is Alinskying all over the marketplace? And let us not forget that this is the man who in 1992 who ‘broke the Bank of England’.
Besides…doesn’t he look like the result of the unholy mating of Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Auric Goldfinger?

George Soros couldn’t have made any money on that trade because NOBODY could have made money on that trade because it’s a LOSING trade.
I’m thinking that Soros is more like Dr. Evil.
