That’s why Soros was “predicting” currency wars last month. He’s a convicted felon in France, has arrest warrant in Russia, made billions from the British pound, and has been accused of currency manipulation in almost every continent. Why are his self serving “predictions” repeated as gospel? Why does the media pretend his Influence peddling NGO’s are just philanthropy? It hurts the entire investment community to have this parasitic element throwing his weight around.
He’s a Grifter. He’s the head con man in the biggest con in history. Obama and Hillary are just Shills for him. They are around to distract you from the con and to lead Suckers into it. Why did we bring down the government in Libya? Follow the money.
He “predicts” currency fluctuations the same way that John Wilkes Booth “predicted” everyone would be talking about him when he left the stage.
Every time I read about this guy I wonder why no one has done the world a favor .
So I wonder what John Wilkes Booth thinks of the Yuan next week? I have friends in Beijing fresh back to work from Holiday (which I’ve also been on. Yaay).
I am just amazed that out of all the governments he has hurt, or attempted to gain proxy control over, and all the people he has harmed, that some government hasn’t exterminated him. He is an international menace.
Were they to do it properly, his fortune would be stripped from him, his organization ruined, with indictments out for him all over the world, and then he would have a fatal slip and fall injury. Like off a 15 story balcony.

Hahahahahahaha They safely assume their constituents are useful idiots. The DEMS are beholden to this narcissistic freak, with no connection to reality. He is going to destroy them like the false prophet that he is. Lie with dogs, get fleas. Our country is infested.
100% agree
Why is this scum bag still stealing air from the rest of us, I wish this carp pile would pass on.
Soros isn’t long for this world. He is serving the god of the current world.
Pity to see what he’s serving...an eternity of damnation he will abide in.
