Billionaire Soros Bankrolling Calls for 'Torture' Probe
Newxmax ^ | 4/23/09 | David A Patten

Posted on 04/23/2009 2:54:05 PM PDT by NoobRep

A fund-raising letter has revealed one of the leading figures pushing for an investigation of alleged U.S. torture of terror suspects following 9/11: leftist billionaire-financier George Soros.

Officials at the Open Society Institute, which was founded by Soros in 1993 to promote progressive causes around the globe and which bills itself as “a Soros Foundation Network,” issued an e-mail to supporters yesterday announcing the creation of a new organization called the Commission on Accountability.

On its Web site, the Commission on Accountability demands an “independent, non-partisan” investigation of “torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees.”

The Commission on Accountability asks for signatures on a petition to President Obama.

You know...I have a feeling Soros, himself has done tons of actual physical torturing to plenty of his pinons and enemies.

He has completely soulless eyes and I don't think there is ANYTHING he wouldn't do or hasn't done to get the results he wants.

If he's a Nazi collaborator, then it seems like the Mosad would have an interest. I'd love to devise a plan to run him out of money - put him on the street!

“I think Soros needs to be probed.”
He should start with Azerbaijan,and go through the list to Zimbabwe- he’d find PLENTY of torture. LEAVE THE USA ALONE! He ought to be in jail in about 5 countries anyway-why is he walking free?

Soros money is funneled to MoveOn, Media Matters, Carville, Begalla, and Emanuel.

This creates non-stop MSM chatter about “torture” during the Bush administration rather that focus on Obama’s race to socialism. Goebell would be pleased with this ruthless tactic.

It’s going to blow up in all their faces. Republicans are upfront about their support for Enhanced Interrogation techniques. Democrats, who originally supported those techniques just as much, are going to be OUTED by all this blaring glaring spotlight.

So go ahead, Soros baby. Spend big on this, please.

BRING IT ON.

(please)

Because Soros is a sugar daddy for some Republicans, as well.

For example, Soros was a heavy contributor to John McCain's Reform PAC.

Soros is BO’s puppetmaster.

Soros admitted in his screed, er, book that in Nazi-occupied Hungary, he went around his town identifying Jews for teh nazis so they could be taken away to the gas chambers.

He’s anti-American and pro-Nazi.

We vhae expelled people from our country for less than what Soros admits to doing. We should revoke his naturalization and deport him before he destroys this country.

Someone needs to ‘tortue’ Soros *ss!

Stated that defeating President Bush in the 2004 election “is the central focus of my life”

Connect the dots to David Brock’s ‘Media Matters’, John Podesta’s ‘Center for American Progress’ (& co-chairman of Barack Obama’s transition team) and more.

In a $10 billion 1992 deal whose success was contingent upon the devaluation of the British Pound, Soros earned himself a $1 billion profit and the title, “the man who broke the Bank of England.”

agendas can be summarized as follows:
promoting the view that America is institutionally an oppressive nation

promoting the election of leftist political candidates throughout the United States

opposing virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by U.S. government, particularly the Patriot Act

depicting American military actions as unjust, unwarranted, and immoral

promoting open borders, mass immigration, and a watering down of current immigration laws

promoting a dramatic expansion of social welfare programs funded by ever-escalating taxes

promoting social welfare benefits and amnesty for illegal aliens

defending the civil rights and liberties of suspected anti-American terrorists and their abetters

financing the recruitment and training of future activist leaders of the political Left

advocating America’s unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending

opposing the death penalty in all circumstances

promoting socialized medicine in the United States

promoting the tenets of radical environmentalism, whose ultimate goal, as writer Michael Berliner has explained, is “not clean air and clean water, [but] rather ... the demolition of technological/industrial civilization”

bringing American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations

promoting racial and ethnic preferences in academia and the business world alike

promoting taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand

advocating stricter gun-control measures

advocating the legalization of marijuana

All told, Soros’ foundation network made an estimated $5 billion worth of grants between 1979 and 2007.

PBS broadcaster and Schumann Center for Media and Democracy President Bill Moyers is a trustee of the Open Society Institute’s Board of Directors.

Soros described how he had jump-started the Shadow Party during the summer of 2002 by summoning a team of political strategists, activists, and Democrat donors to his Southampton beach house in Long Island. The attendees included: Morton H. Halperin (Director of Soros’ Open Society Institute); John Podesta (Democrat strategist and former Bill Clinton chief of staff); Jeremy Rosner (Democrat strategist and pollster, and ex-foreign policy speechwriter for Bill Clinton); Robert Boorstin (Democrat strategist and pollster); Carl Pope (America Coming Together co-founder, Democrat strategist, and Sierra Club Executive Director); Steve Rosenthal (Labor leader, CEO of America Coming Together, and former advisor to Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich); Peter Lewis (major Democrat donor and insurance entrepreneur); Rob Glaser (major Democrat donor and Silicon Valley pioneer); Ellen Malcolm (co-founder and President of America Coming Together and founder of Emily’s List); Rob McKay (major Democrat donor); and Lewis and Dorothy Cullman (major Democrat donors).

At that meeting, Soros laid out his plan to unseat incumbent President George W. Bush.

In 2008, Obama announced that upon his election to the office of President, he would create a “Social Investment Fund Network,” which would provide federal money to “social entrepreneurs and leading nonprofit organizations [that] are assisting schools, lifting families out of poverty, filling health care gaps, and inspiring others to lead change in their own communities.” According to columnist Michelle Malkin, “this Barack Obama brainchild would serve as a permanent, taxpayer-backed pipeline to Democratic partisan outfits masquerading as public-interest do-gooders,” and would serve as a “George Soros Slush Fund” by continuing to bolster numerous Soros-founded and funded organizations.

Soros and his foundations have had a hand in funding such noteworthy leftist organizations as the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy; the Tides Foundation; the Tides Center; the National Organization for Women; Feminist Majority; the American Civil Liberties Union; People for the American Way; Alliance for Justice; NARAL Pro-Choice America; America Coming Together; the Center for American Progress; Campaign for America’s Future; Amnesty International; the Sentencing Project; the Center for Community Change; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense and Educational Fund; Human Rights Watch; the Prison Moratorium Project; the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement; the National Lawyers Guild; the Center for Constitutional Rights; the Coalition for an International Criminal Court; The American Prospect; MoveOn.org; Planned Parenthood; the Nation Institute; the Brennan Center for Justice; the Ms. Foundation for Women; the National Security Archive Fund; the Pacifica Foundation; Physicians for Human Rights; the Proteus Fund; the Public Citizen Foundation; the Urban Institute; the American Friends Service Committee; Catholics for a Free Choice; Human Rights First; the Independent Media Institute; MADRE; the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Immigration Law Center; the National Immigration Forum; the National Council of La Raza; the American Immigration Law Foundation; the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee; and the Peace and Security Funders Group.

In Hungary Soros’s father engineered a swap where Georgie boy was given over to a Christian family. He changed his name and managed to avoid the Nazi pogrom. Following the war he somehow wormed his way onto the Hungarian skii team and apparently used that dodge to escape to London. And the rest is history.
