Yup. You don't have to steal Ft. Knox. You just have to irradiate it a little.

Multibillionaire philanthropist George Soros is seeking $20 million from the city of Baltimore, Md., to continue his Open Society Institute (OSI) project in the city, the Balitimore Sun reported April 27.
If the city delivers the full $20 million, Soros has offered to put up the remaining $10 million needed to keep the program alive for five more years.
The Baltimore branch of OSI focuses primarily on addiction treatment, criminal justice, workforce development, education and youth development, and justice access. It opened in 1998 and has raised the number of addicts being treated from 16,000 in 1999 to 24,000 in 2004; funding for treatment over the same time period jumped from $22 million to $49 million last year.
Diana Morise, director of OSI-Baltimore, said that with additional funding the organization would have the time needed to further expand treatment and education services, juvenile crime prevention, and assist incarcerated adults with addiction-related problems. Soros has established OSIs in 50 countries, but the Baltimore branch is the only one to service a single city.
You can be sure that Soros's "open society" programs aren't only for drug treatment. They are surely political propaganda factories also.
focuses primarily on addiction
That's what caught my eye as well.
Not one dime for his project! He lied!
He vowed he would leave the U.S. if GWB
won re-election! I'm still waiting for
his disappearance.
**You can be sure that Soros's "open society" programs aren't only for drug treatment. They are surely political propaganda factories also.**
You got that right. He's known to spread anti christian propaganda in an attempt to destroy our societies.
Is he a naturalized citizen ..??
If so .. he would be entitled to apply for the funds for his organization. Only in America.
Screw you, Soros. You tried to buy an election result, you can pay for your own businesses.
Real nice little scam he has going isn't it? He promotes legalizing drugs around the world and wants to start a drug treatment/reeducation center for his own victims.
everything Soros does is part of his agenda to turn this republic into a socialist police state.
OSI sure does sound like a shadow govmint. Doesn't it. The only problem is that nobody votes for their agenda as it is being put upon them.
Yup. You don't have to steal Ft. Knox. You just have to irradiate it a little.
OSI has radically changed, as has Soros (in his deteriorating mental health conditions).
Now, its basically a big money version of the ACLU that also tries to influence foreign policy and mostly left wing or liberal policies.
Its turned into a mini berkley type of set-up, a far cry from its original state.
In the very begining (and in other countries, OSI's do differ in the ideology they preach and the roles they play, an OSI in the Ukraine is far different then the one in the US, ours is mostly a left wing collection of kooks) it used to be for transparency in government, and in society. Civil Liberties, and stronger pushes for voter involvement and democracy. It was trying to get the populace informed, and involved, while opening up the government so that people could see corruption, or deal making, or have more access to government files, paperwork, legislative matters, etc. It was anti-establishment and anti-authority in its original set up with serious emphasis on good governance.
That was the begining, now its totally different. In original intent, it wasn't bad, but now its downright evil. You would not even recognise them from their begining to now.
Ping
You are right Charlite. Soros's "open society" programs aren't only for drug treatment.
Political yes. And beyond.

HATRED IS THE DEMOCRAT POLICY and the Democrat Party is owned by Soros who supports Hillary Clinton!
-----
HATRED ISN'T POLICY
By Phil Brennan: Trustee of the Lincoln Heritage Institute and Editor of Wed. on the Web [http://www.lincolnheritage.org]
"The left is full of hate; that's what drives it," David Horowitz, speaking about the rash of attacks on conservative speakers on college campuses, told NewsMax.com,
The hatred is not limited to academia - it is driving the leftist-dominated Democrat party as well.
What else can explain that party's distribution of a fake mug shot of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. It shows a photo, featuring a smiling DeLay behind the words "Case File," includes the superimposed number "18821" as if the House Majority Leader had been arrested and charged with a crime.
As NewsMax.com has reported, attached to the bogus photo, posted to the DNC's web site, is a headline: "Scandal Man: A Guide to the Ethics Violations, Abuses of Power and Corruption of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay."
This despite the fact that DeLay has not been charged, let alone arrested, in connection with any of the allegations being tossed around by Democrats and their allies in the media - and has never been implicated in any criminal activity whatsoever.
TV [propaganda] ads now running in selected congressional districts declare: "Tom DeLay: He’d like to wash his hands of corruption. …," a voice intones, while a man wearing cuff links and a Rolex watch scrubs his hands. "He can’t wash his hands of corruption. But Congress can certainly wash its hands of Tom DeLay."
According to Richard Poe writing in Front Page magazine, "This 30-second television ad began running in selected Congressional districts on Thursday, March 31 — only the latest in a long series of media smears targeting DeLay.
"Over a five-day span, ending last Thursday, TV and radio stations and print publications from around the country featured at least 290 stories" discussing ethics allegations against DeLay, reports Alexander Bolton in the March 23 edition of The Hill."
All of this is being driven by the Marxist left now in full control of the Democrat Party. In the November 29, 2004 issue of the Marxist journal The Nation, Robert L. Borosage and Nation editor Katrina Vanden Heuvel let the cat out of the bag. "[P]rogressives drive this party now - we provide the energy, the organizers, the ground forces, the ideas, and much of the money. We should organize the opposition [against Republicans]. Progressives should mount a powerful assault on Republican boss Tom DeLay."
They used to call themselves liberals but now shy away from that description, preferring to be known as "progressives" a code word members of the U.S. Communist underground once used to identify themselves to each other. They are Marxist to the core, and they are in full control of the Democrat Party.
These people seethe with unrestrained hatred which they are now unleashing on the Bush administration, on the GOP controlled Congress and even on conservative speakers who dare to invade their sacred precincts of academia. No one expressing traditional American values is safe from their venom.
The haters are well-financed. Behind many of the front groups that mimic the old Communist front movement when the Moscow-directed Communist Party used sometimes innocent dupes to promote the Kremlin's causes are some of the world's wealthiest people, notably the militant atheist and one-worlder George Soros whose seething hatred of conservatives and the GOP led him to spend millions in a failed effort to defeat George Bush in 2004.
Soros is pouring money into such front groups as the Center for Public Integrity; Common Cause; Democracy 21; Public Campaign and Public Citizen, Poe reported.
Wrote Poe: "... the TV ad campaign cited above is sponsored by two groups, both heavily funded by Soros. One, the Campaign for America’s Future (CAF), has received more than $300,000 from Soros' Open Society Institute. The other group, the Public Campaign Action Fund, is a spin-off from the Soros-funded Public Campaign.
"In fact, most of the public-interest "watchdogs" currently hounding DeLay are beneficiaries of Soros largesse. All of the groups named have received large contributions from Soros’ Open Society Institute, ranging in size from hundreds of thousands to more than a million, in some cases."
As NewsMax.com's savvy Wes Vernon has reported, the same Robert Borosage who co-wrote that Nation piece bragging about how progressives [read Marxists] now run the Democrat Party is Co-Director of the Soros financed Campaign for America's Future.

Remember Lani Guinier? Clinton's failed flawed nominee???
Lani's new math: 2+2=5? She works for Soro's OSI.
Excerpt article http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org -
"GYORGY("George") SOROS...by Srdja Trifkovic
Soros has adopted the sons and daughters of the old Communist nomenklatura. Being deracinated and having inherited moral corruption and spiritual degeneracy from their parents, these Janissaries of the post-national, God-free New Order have no problem toeing the line on Soros’s vision-thing.
As Forbes Magazine remarked three years ago,
Look at the trustees of Soros’s U.S. foundation and you will see where the bias lies. One of them is the notorious Lani Guinier, the law professor Bill Clinton tried to nominate as head of the civil rights division of the Justice Department. Once her intemperate brand of politics was examined—such as minority veto power over legislation—even Clinton backed away from her and withdrew his support… President of the Open Society Institute in the U.S. is Aryeh Neier, a human rights advocate who often embraces extreme liberal positions. So be careful when you apply the term ‘philanthropy’ to Soros’ spending. Not all his causes are political, but he's clearly a would-be social engineer. You wouldn’t get far in a U.S. election running on a Soros-style platform, but you might feel quite at home in a lot of U.S. universities...
George Soros is a megalomaniacal, socio-political deconstructionist best described as an obsessive "Goldfinger."
Reading all of those links to gay organization sites prompts me to inquire why George Soros is so fixated on gays and gay issues. Hmmmm?........can we say the word "closet?"
"George Soros is a megalomaniacal, socio-political deconstructionist best described as an obsessive "Goldfinger.",br>
Reading all of those links to gay organization sites prompts me to inquire why George Soros is so fixated on gays and gay issues. Hmmmm?........can we say the word "closet?"
If you dare...and I certainly would dare - NO FAMILY VALUES SITES! Soros hates Christian traditional moral and family values which are the heartbeat of America. Soros will endow any activism contrary to America's Christian and traditional values; would promote any subversion to undermine America. "His "open Society" concept is predicated upon unleashed degeneracy and libertinism - not upon democracy. Soros' philantrophy is the Trojan Horse of a megalomaniac. I could go on and on about Soros. Be assured, George Soros is America's enemy.
Did you happen to catch the report that Fox News did today (5/9) about 4:15ET on the millions that Soros has been receiving (since 1998) and continues to receive in the federal budget for OSI? The reporter says Soros claims he spends some of the taxpayers $ on scholarships for students from other countries to study here, but he also contributed taxpayer funds for the defense of Lynn Stewart! Since $ is fungible, the taxpayers are freeing up $ for him to attack Bush and other Republicans with his MoveOn 527. The report also said he used taxpayer $ to lobby the gov't to pass McCain-Feingold so that he could dump his money into 527's to support Democrats in any amount he chose to donate. This may be the last straw for me even voting Republican. I long ago stopped giving $ to Republicans since the campaign rhetoric has veered far from the actual policies enacted.
