CNN: J.C. Penney stock soars on sales jump

One would consider that to be a major boost for that particular company which could have a positive effect on the entire economy. On the other hand, it could also be a part of economic warfare.

Don't think the tactics to immobilize a country by bringing down its economy are only used in war. Patrick Byrne, who is the CEO of Overstock.com, points out how organized crime has taken a firm foothold into our present economy.

Take a look at the video below in which he presents his views on economic warfare. I am aware the video is rather lengthy, but it is worth every minute of your time.

As he explains, there are several forms of stock market manipulation. He is of the opinion that the stock market crash of 2008 was a direct result of national and international organized crime groups. It all sounds rather unbelievable, but Patrick Byrne provides enough documentation to back up his views.

Even President Obama recognized the fact that transnational organized crime was and is paralyzing the nation's economy. He signed an executive order in 2011 in which he declared the state of emergency against the fraudulent dealings of these organized crime groups.

Their main field of operations are naked short selling and bust-outs. I will try to explain those in a nutshell: stocks and money change hands frequently. When the demand is higher than the supply, more stock is created by using FTDs (failure to deliver). These can be bought and sold without owning them which is called naked short selling.

This lowers the price of the stock and can result in a bust-out when large amounts of stocks are acquired and disposed of quickly for a price that is much lower. This action can cause a company to go bankrupt.

I personally think it is pretty terrifying knowing how organized crime has and is controlling our economic welfare through warfare and is pulling the strings.

Why don't you watch the video and share your comments on it. Inquiring minds like to know!
