Web of Debt - WAG THE DOG: HOW TO CONCEAL MASSIVE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE by Phaethon at 9:11 pm EDT, Aug 16, 2008
Just as central banks manipulate currencies in concert, so gold can be manipulated by massive selling of central bank reserves. Oil and any other market can be manipulated as well. But markets can be manipulated by only so much and for only so long without fixing the underlying problem. There is more bad news coming down the pike, news of such magnitude that no amount of ordinary manipulation is liable to conceal it.

These theories are a bit out there. Why would China respond? How did this quick conflict distract from the long term economic problems? However, the key question is why did the US allow Georgia to attack South Ossetia? Stratfor asks but fails to answer this question.
