The George Soros Question.

in #soros7 years ago

For years, almost a decade now we've heard conservatives, right-wingers and conspiracy nutjobs talk about George Soros as the evil globalist Illuminati elite or the secret Nazi or even as the secret Communist | Leftist, I, however, see it a little differently but first, lets get the story straight.

Gyorgy Schwarts (George Soros) born August 12th, 1930 in Hungary and survived the Nazi occupation.

Allegedly, in 1944, 14-year-old George Soros went to work for the invading Nazis. It is said in a 60-minute interview that until the end of the war in 1945, he worked with a government official, helping him confiscate property from the local Jewish population.

In the very same 1998 interview with 60 Minutes, Soros described the year of German occupation as “the happiest time in my life.”

When the war ended, Soros moved to London and in 1947 enrolled in the London School of Economics where he studied under Karl Popper, the Austrian-British philosopher who was one of the first proponents of an “Open Society.”

Soros then worked at several merchant banks in London before moving to New York in 1963. In 1970, he founded Soros Fund Management and in 1973 created the Quantum Fund in partnership with investor Jim Rogers

The fund made annual returns of over 30%, cementing Soros’s reputation and putting him in a position of power—one he utilizes to this day to advance the agenda of his mentors.

In the 1990s, Soros began a string of large bets against national currencies, a large part of Soros’ multibillion-dollar fortune has come from manipulating currencies. The first was in 1992, when he sold short the pound sterling and made a $1 billion profit in a single day, Known as “The Man who Broke the Bank of England,” Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency, During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused him of bringing down the nation’s currency through his trading activities, and in Thailand he was called an “economic war criminal.”

In 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes, Soros started the Open Society Institute. Using this institute as a conduit, Soros has donated more than $7 Billion to a who's who of left-wing groups. Here's an excerpt of that very list: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.

Soros is a financial backer of Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group that hyperventilates over any conservative view that makes it into the mainstream media. Now its founder, David Brock, has openly declared war on Fox News, telling Politico that the group was mounting “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against the cable news channel, and would try to disrupt the commercial interests of owner Rupert Murdoch—an odd mission for a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational foundation that is barred from participating in partisan political activity

George Soros has also been a major founder of "MoveOn.org" a progressive advocacy group and political action committee that raises millions for liberal candidates, another advocacy group that Soros funds heavily is CAP, Center for American Progress headed by John Podesta who was the White house chief of staff under Pres. Clinton, the CAP has been instrumental in providing progressive talking point and policy positions for the Obama administration even though according to the groups website “The Center for American Progress Action Fund is a non-profit, non-partisan organization under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue code,” meaning that this particular non profit is subjected to restrictions on candidate-related / political activity under IRS rules.

This is a major issue that no one talks about the fact CAP has been acting as a revolving door between the previous administration White House officials and the Soros-funded think tank, with Obama staffing his administration with many CAP officials.

In 2004 Soros donated $27 Million to 527 various political groups opposed to the Bush Administration, one such group "America Coming Together (ACT). ACT’s voter registration drives were riddled with fraud, and it handed out incendiary fliers and made misleading taped phone calls to voters. ACT was fined $775,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violations of various federal campaign finance laws.

Soros once stating that removing George W. Bush was the "central focus of my life." His early financial support helped jump-start Obama's political career. Soros hosted a fund-raiser that same year for Obama when he was running for Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours of Obama's announcement that he was running for president.

He played an influencing role in the 2005 launch of a secretive club of major liberal donors called the Democracy Alliance. Its aim is to steer cash away from groups fighting short-term electoral battles and toward groups seeking to build intellectual infrastructure for long-term fights outside the Democratic Party

In 2016 the billionaire committed over $25 million to supporting Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates and causes however, other elite liberal donors also contributed a total of over $91 million dollars, including San Francisco environmentalist Tom Steyer (who has donated $31 million in 2016, albeit almost entirely to a super PAC he controls), New York hedge funder Don Sussman ($13.2 million to various campaigns and committees) and media moguls Haim Saban and Fred Eychaner ($11.1 million each). But few have the bellwether effect of Soros.

by the end of June, Soros had donated $7 million to a super PAC supporting Clinton called Priorities USA Action, according to FEC filings, making it the biggest recipient of his political largesse during that month's cycle.

Soros has committed another $5 million to a nonprofit called the Voting Rights Trust, is run partly by Clinton’s campaign lawyer Marc Elias. It’s registered under a section of the tax code that doesn’t require it to disclose its donors, meaning that Soros’ donations and those of other donors will never be formally or publicly reported to the government, and also that it could be possible that some donations might be passed through from other groups.

pattern and motivations seem similar to 2004 when Soros, motivated by a deep opposition to the Iraq War and other Bush policies, distributed $27 million in donations around a handful of liberal groups boosting John Kerry’s unsuccessful challenge to Bush and it seems history repeated itself with Donald Trump's upset win.

Currently, he focused his philanthropic attention on his international foundations, which have donated more than $13 billion over the past three decades to nonprofits that the main goal is to defend human rights, shape the democratic process in Eastern Europe and expand access to health care and education in the around the world.

For instance, During the 1980s and 1990s, Soros used his wealth to bankroll and fund revolutions in dozens of European nations, including Czechoslovakia, Croatia, and Yugoslavia. He achieved this by funneling money to political opposition parties, publishing houses, and independent media in these nations, after the chaos, he invested heavily in assets in each of the respective countries.

He then used Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs to advise theses new governments to privatize all public assets immediately, thus allowing Soros to sell the assets he had acquired during the turmoil into newly formed open markets.

When looking abroad today we see Soro's influence in it's more "evolved" form, Antifa or Anti-fascists and their violent, intimidating actions these fringe groups subject on their political opponents, these "anti-fascists" are funded by left-wing and progressive foundations that fund these protests that have back its message with violence for decades in Europe.

Refuse Fascism, group Alliance for Global Justice both an American militant group funded in part by George Soros, According to a report from the Daily Caller.

" According to its most recent 990 tax form, Alliance for Global Justice (AfGJ) received $2.2 million in funding for the fiscal year ending in March 2016.

One of the group’s biggest donors is the Tides Foundation, a non-profit funded by billionaire progressive philanthropist George Soros. Tides gave AfGJ $50,000.

The United Steel Workers labor union also contributed $5,000. The city of Tucson is also listed in AfGJ’s 990 as a donor, but a city official says that the city acted merely as a pass-through for a Native American tribe that provided a grant to the activist group. The city official said that no city money went to AfGJ.

Charities associated with several major corporations also donated. Patagonia.org, the outdoor apparel and equipment company, gave $40,000. The Ben & Jerry Foundation, the charity associated with the ice cream maker, gave $20,000. And Lush Cosmetic gave $43,950".

Antifa have been a mainstay and perpetuator of political terrorism, attacking Libertarians, conservatives, liberals and Nazi's alike for their communist or Marxist cause, recently during July's G20 summit, when large parts of Hamburg, Germany were under siege and private property worth millions of dollars was vandalized. "Welcome to hell" was the message, proudly displayed.

These very same groups have made an impression in American politics, continuously deplatforming conservative and "controversial" speakers at events and universities around the states, using violence, intimidation and defamation to perturb the public from listening to ideas these communists don't agree with. This is a perfect example of the logical conclusion one can draw when following the money, Millionaire and Billionaire philanthropists are playing "benevolent" dictator, paying extremist organizations to stir the pot for their own ideological benefit and its costing the lives of the people caught in the middle.

A May 2014 interview with CNN, Soros stated he was responsible for establishing a foundation in the Ukraine that ultimately led to the overthrow of the country’s elected leader and the installation of a faction handpicked by the US State Department, at the time headed by Hillary Clinton.

The war spread through the Ukrainian region of Donbass resulted in the deaths of over 10,000 people and the displacement of over 1.4 million people. As collateral damage, a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet was shot down, killing all 298 on board and George Soros was there to reap the benefits of his chaos, Ukraine's state owned energy company is being privatized "demanded by Western Creditors." aka George Soros, had his US "associates", Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew and US consulting company McKinsey, advise the puppet government of Ukraine to privatize Naftogaz. It's unclear exactly how much Soros stood to gain from such recklessness, sources suggest that in 2014 memo of George Soros he pledged to invest up to $1 Billion dollars.

Soros’s agenda is fundamentally about the removal of national borders. This has been shown to be very clearly with his funding of the European refugee crisis.

The refugee crisis has been blamed on the civil war currently raging in Syria. But the dangerous question always lingered, how all these people suddenly knew Europe would open its gates and let them in?

The refugee crisis may or may not be a naturally occurring phenomenon but what is true is that It coincided with OSF donating money to the US-based Migration Policy Institute and the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, both Soros-sponsored organizations. Both groups advocate the resettlement of third-world Muslims into Europe, one might call that coincidence others call it a conspiracy I'll tend to learn towards slimy advantageous opportunity.

In 2015, a Sky News reporter found “Migrant Handbooks” on the Greek island of Lesbos. It was later revealed that the handbooks, which are written in Arabic, had been given to refugees before crossing the Mediterranean by a group called “Welcome to the EU.”

Welcome to the EU is funded by the Open Society Foundations.

Soros has not only backed groups that advocate the resettlement of third-world migrants into Europe, he in fact is the architect of the “Merkel Plan.”

The Merkel Plan was created by the European Stability Initiative whose chairman Gerald Knaus is a senior fellow at the Open Society Foundations.

The plan proposes that Germany should grant asylum to 500,000 Syrian refugees. It also states that Germany, along with other European nations, should agree to help Turkey, a country that’s 98% Muslim, gain visa-free travel within the EU starting in 2016.

Germany took in more than a million migrants by the end of 2016 and since then crime of all kinds has skyrocketed. Rape, murder, incest, robberies, vandalism, terrorism, arson and even places the locals refer to as "no go zones" where typically immigration housing areas are packed with too many foreigners of the same culture who refuse to integrated become violent to outsiders, so much so that no one can pass through unless you belong that specific in-group.

This migrant crime wave isn't isolated to just Germany, all of Europe is suffering due to this big players attempting to shape the world to fit their ill conceived ideology, Sweden for example has been accused of hiding migrant crime statistics from the public for the sake of political correctness, they've been caught multiple times covering up certain sexual crimes, usually when it involves a large group of migrants, these same trends can be seen in Germany during new years in 2015 where 2,000 Muslim migrants amassed and assaulted almost 1,500 women in a night and the entire incident was played down and covered up by German police and politicians, Great Britain had also covered up mass sex trafficking of women and minors, rape and gang rapes that occurred in rotherham for the exact same reasons, political correctness. Police and government officials going so far to cover up the crimes they were spending police resources and time on silencing whistle blowers to the point of jailing some.

It's my opinion that a lot of these government officials don't necessarily share the same ideology as the philanthropists' running the show but because these groups are so well financed thus giving these political extremists the political clout to pressure officials into being deceptive for the sake of extending their careers but the truth always reveals itself eventually.

In this particular case, George Soros is nothing more than an ideolog with unimaginable power and influence due to his vast amount of wealth. I believe George was heavily influenced by Karl Popper and unfortunately Soro's seemingly misunderstood Popper's philosophy entirely, Karl Popper's philosophy boiled down is as follows, An open, Liberal Democracy is the only way for societies to enact change without bloodshed, those who believed that spilling blood for the sake of a revolution was necessary, were to be treated with extreme prudence. Although Popper was heavily influenced by communism and Marxism and found wisdom in marx's teachings he always recognized Marx's historicist, anti-rational, and totalitarian outlook, something Soro's has conveniently forgotten along with the fact that political violence goes against what an "Open Society" truly means, Open to change.
