Chilling

That’s the only word for the glimpse into the mind of George Soros provided by Steve Croft of 60 Minutes in an interview broadcast last night. Steve Gilbert of Sweetness & Light does an excellent job of highlighting and commenting on a partial transcript of the interview, concerning Soros’ behavior during the Holocaust in Hungary, when he was a 14 year old Jewish boy posing as a Christian.

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.

Mr. SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.

KROFT: I mean, that’s—that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?

Mr. SOROS: Not-not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t you don’t see the connection. But it was it created no-no problem at all.

KROFT: No feeling of guilt?

Mr. SOROS: No.

KROFT: For example that, ‘I’m Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.’ None of that?

Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c--I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was--well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets--that if I weren't there--of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would--would--would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the--whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the--I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt..

Of course most of us here are already aware of Mr. Soros’ highly questionable actions during the Nazi occupation. (Though the public at large undoubtedly has a different perspective, if they know anything about his earlier days at all.)

But the statements he made in this interview to my mind are quite chilling. He forgives himself everything. He says that if he hadn’t done it somebody else would have.

All of which would seem to indicate that Mr. Soros has no conscience. A lack of conscience is said to be a common symptom of sociopaths.

He lost is soul and moral compass early on. Those who need to know this won't listen.

[Andy from Beaverton]

So the--I had no role in taking away that property

Huh?

[b9]

I think Soros is behind much more than we know.

[TNdandelion]

I just threw up in my mouth.

[Sans-Culotte]

Hmm... I kind of wonder if the Christopher Plummer character in Spike Lee's Inside Man was maybe based a little bit on Soros?

"I fancied myself as some kind of god …" he once wrote. "If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me in trouble."

Soros is a self-hating creep who wants to destroy the USA and Israel. He needs a team of shrinks.

Cold blooded killer with a total lack of morality and soul. Sociopath doesn't do this guy justice because it implies some environmental factors out of his control, and some disease like quality that absolves him from societal disapproval. This same quality allows him to support the left as a tool to short the dollar and profit when the leftists take power and destroy the fabric of America, or when the left allows the muslims to to it for them. We got to know our enemy.

[Alouette]

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

[coloradan]

Like, oh, say restricting freedom of speech of the citizens of the last remaining superpower/free country for 60 days before an election?

[Alouette]

Soros is a self-hating creep

I don't think he hates himself at all.

[william clark]

Wow. I'll look for his picture in the dictionary under "sociopath."

[Oratam]

Ian Fleming could not have created a more sinister arch-villain than Soros.

[Thebaddog]

That guy was trying to cover his past. Soros isn't. Is he a tool or what?

[PEACE ENFORCER]

And THESE are the type of people (if you can call them people) who wish to get back into office NOV. 7th ?????????????????????????????

[juliej]

He is a total narcissist: but deep down inside those peole loathe themselves.

No, he's an evil human being who deserves the wrath of God, and doubtless will get it!

You said it.

KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No

Nothing more needs to be said.
