The terrorists and demagogues want us to be scared. We mustn’t give in (George Soros)
theguardian.com ^ | Dec. 28, 2015 | George Soros

It's not easy to resist the threats and the hysteria that surround us, but we must do, as fear is the greatest danger to open society

Open societies are always endangered. This is especially true of America and Europe today, as a result of the terrorist attacks in Paris and elsewhere, and the way that America and Europe, particularly France, have reacted to them.

Jihadi terrorist groups such as Islamic State and al-Qaida have discovered the achilles heel of our western societies: the fear of death. Through horrific attacks and macabre videos, the publicists of Isis magnify this fear, leading otherwise sensible people in hitherto open societies to abandon their reason.

Scientists have discovered that emotion is an essential component of human reasoning. That discovery explains why jihadi terrorism poses such a potent threat to our societies: the fear of death leads us and our leaders to think - and then behave - irrationally.

Money quote and his message to America:

..That is why, as 2016 gets underway, we must reaffirm our commitment to the principles of open society and resist the siren song of the likes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, however hard that may be.

Someone should kill him. Can’t think of a softer way to say it. That man has been a cancer on humanity for more than70 years.

Oh, but he DOES want you to be afraid of armed citizens. According to Soros and other anti-gun demagogues, a patriot with a gun is a mass shooting just looking for a place to happen. Which are plentiful due to gun free zones.

There is no doubt in my mind that Soros will bankroll the Antichrist all the way to Armageddon.

He is the vilest of human beings. He warns against EU falling and is the primary donor and sponsor of every group organizing and sending the Muslim hordes into the heart of Europe. He must be short every currency on the planet to bankrupt the next nation he chooses like he did the British pound.

This was written by a man who wants the Islamists to win the war on terror so that capitalism will be defeated.

This is the man who (together with his lapdogs David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel) threatened the media heads in October of 2008, so that those media heads told their on-air people they would be annihilated by the FCC if anybody was allowed to discuss Obama’s ineligibility or Muslim leanings on-air.

This is the man that Bettina Viviano (IIRC) said asked both Obama and Hillary whether they were on-board with the plan to destroy the US economy - right around the time that our Middle East intel was getting reports of an imminent act of financial terrorism, and right before the Sept 2008 run on the bank that turned McCain’s lead into Obama’s lead and got McCain to suspend his campaign on the same day that President Bush told the world there would be Armageddon if TARP wasn’t passed...

Mr. Soros, I am not afraid. I am ANGRY and DETERMINED, and that is exactly what YOU are AFRAID of: afraid that the world will wake up and realize that you are out to destroy us with the aid of your Islamist friends. You would say we should just surrender to sharia rather than “be afraid” enough to fight it. I say go screw yourself. You probably think you were very “civilized” as you fed off the deaths of your fellow Jews when you were young, and probably think you can do the same thing with the NEW Hitlers - your Islamist allies who publicly behead and crucify in addition to burning alive those who differ, as their soul-mate Adolf Hitler did. You share the Holocaustic ideology of Margaret Sanger the ally of Adolf Hitler, and you share the Holocaustic ideology of the Islamists with whom you conspire to destroy America. You didn’t learn a thing from the deaths of your fellow Jews.

But we did. God help us, we did. We are not afraid. We are angry and resolute. Never again.

Soros and Obama want the same destruction of America that ISIS does, so they want to use the ISIS threat as an excuse to take your guns.

Then they have the gall to call conservatives “demagogues”, because we want to protect America against ALL threats, foreign and domestic!
