Tolerant and (gag) compassionate liberal abortion worshipper Soros--who backs an "Open Society" --thinks there's nothing wrong with profiting illegally on "insider trading." Soros has also made a bundle pulling currency scams all over the world. Watta guy (snicker).

Billionaire Bush Basher Soros Convicted of Insider Trading
Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff
Billionaire Bush basher George Soros has gotten a lot of press in recent days, mostly over his comments on Monday when he likened President Bush to Adolf Hitler and reiterated his promise to spend whatever it takes to defeat Bush at the polls next year.
But none of the reports mentioned one salient fact: The Democratic Party's great rich hope was convicted of insider trading less than a year ago.
Before Soros announced his intention to bankroll the Dems' bid to topple Bush, press accounts were a lot more candid about his checkered background.
Here's how the Washington Post described the Democrats' Daddy Warbucks five months ago:
"In some parts of the world, Soros, 72, is a mistrusted figure. The Hungarian immigrant made a fortune on Wall Street, and in 1992 was dubbed the 'man who broke the Bank of England' after engaging in a series of speculative transactions that helped devalue the pound."
The Post continued:
"He has been accused of triggering the Asian economic crisis that began in 1997. Last year he was convicted of insider trading in France and fined $ 2.2 million, a ruling he dismissed as 'a queer decision' and promised to appeal."
According to the New York Times, prosecutors in Paris had accused Soros of "buying stakes in four formerly state-owned companies in France, including one of the country's leading banks, Societe Generale, for his Quantum Endowment Fund in 1988 based on confidential information. The stakes were worth a total of about $50 million at the time.
"Two other defendants in the case ... were acquitted. At a hearing [in November 2002], prosecutors recommended fines for all three men, and suggested the $2.3 million figure for Mr. Soros as a minimum penalty."
Now that he's set his sights on presidential politics, Mr. Soros is said to be working closely with former White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes, who was at the center of the 1996 Clinton fund-raising scandal.

The good news is that if he keeps screwing around in Russia he will probably end up next to a semtex suitcase on a flight.

I haven't seen anything that would make me believe for a milli second that Soros wants to topple any of the Islamofascist thugs like $oddomite and the murdering mullahs of Iran. He loves those guys. Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Morgan, etc., made their money building America's infrastructure. Yes, they got rich but the country and the world benefitted from the industries they built.
This AINO, on the other hand, made his billions betting on currency exchange rates. He played a zero sum game. For every dollar he made someone else lost.
BTW we should hang the Soros label on whoever runs against W. Call him a Soros-whore.

>>Interesting. I didn't know Wiley published anything except scientific stuff. <<
STM, PRT, College are the main divistions. In fact, this is how the server clusters in the NDS tree were divided. It's all since been migrated away from Novell some time after I left.
The Acronyms mean the following...Science, Technical, Medical(STM), Professional, Reference and Trade (PRT) and College.
Soros's book was done by the PRT division.
For what it's worth, it's a good company to work for but it was the commute into Manhatten that I hated. They've since moved to Hoboken and that's even worse! I go and visit a friend there and gads what a traffic snarl that is.

I can't really say that I'm saddened by the peaceful overthrow of Shevardnadze. It was rather impressive, IMO.
And Milosevic was a butcher.

AINO and now the label a Soros Whore or $oro$ Rat Whore!
I like it.
You, also, posted: "This AINO, on the other hand, made his billions betting on currency exchange rates. He played a zero sum game. For every dollar he made someone else lost."
It is amazing how many so called conservatives on FR do the samething as Soros except they are betting against their country and brag about their profits. It ain't just the gold bugs who hate a good America economy, it is the so called conservative currency speculators.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Something good. This deserves it's own posting but would surely be moved to "chat".
I found it here: http://www.eamonn.com/
Thanksgiving for the indispensable nation
Seeing that some 60 percent of Rainy Day's site visits originate from the USA, it would be churlish indeed to let Thanksgiving pass without giving thanks to all those Americans, not just for those visits, though, but for, well, being there.
In the war on terrorism and in the struggle to liberalize the Middle East, Americans are dying almost daily. No other Western nation is able or willing to fight the huge civilizational conflict that's now upon us. That may sound a bit dramatic, a bit apocalyptic, perhaps, but the war within Islam threatens not just peaceful Muslims, it threatens all of us because when fanaticism is combined with modern technology borders become irrelevant. In the coming years, this war will be fought in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Indonesia. The stakes are very, very high and that's why the struggle in Iraq is so critical.
So, today, let us give thanks for America, the principal guarantor of a global democratic order. For those countries who have long congregated under American protection, and for those newly liberated states that cannot survive without it, the United States is the one, truly indispensable nation.
Happy Thanksgiving to you.

aculeus has a great suggestion here, but we shouldn't limit it to the final Rat candidate. They are all whores to $oro$ and none are complaining about this super rich elite lefty billions.
BTW we should hang the Soros label on whoever is running for the rat top position. Call him/her a Soros-whore or as I suggested: A $oreA$$ Rat Whore

Thanks for posting this. It is interesting that the author didn't mention Iran or Syria as sites of future wars against terrorism.

And you wonder why there was such a Dramatic dust-up at the Soros Free Society offices in Moscow recently. Yep. Soros' ego must have made him forget that Putin used to head the KGB.

And Milosevic was a butcher. He was not. That is why Hague Tribunal cannot demonstrate this.

This guy needs to be taken out.
He's already convicted on inside trading in France. I wonder if he's done the same here. I know that Asian crash sure looked like an Inside Job to me....

Not only that, but Milosevic, the elected president of Yugoslavia, had actually (contrary to the normal practice of "dictators") conducted the usual called-for election for his own post. What a dictator.
As I recall, Kostunica was declared to have received 48%, Milosevic 40%, and others the remainder. Consequently, in accordance with standard election law as in many countries around the world, there was to be a runoff of the top two finishers two weeks later. It was at that moment that jerks like Soros helped finance the political overthrow of the elected government, the rioting, and the burning of the Yugoslav Parliament building -- all because they feared the scheduled runoff election a mere two weeks later in which, evidently, they feared that things might not go according to their plans of making billions off the suffering of other people. (Were I a voter there, I would have voted for Kostunica, but one need not admire any particular person to point out falsehood about reporting.)
Milosevic was not a butcher, Clinton was.

Here's a whopper quote from Soros:
"The terrorist attack on the United States could have been treated as a crime against humanity rather than an act of war. Treating it as a crime would have been more appropriate. Crimes require police work, not military action. Protection against terrorism requires precautionary measures, awareness, and intelligence gatheringall of which ultimately depend on the support of the populations among which the terrorists operate. Imagine for a moment that September 11 had been treated as a crime. We would not have invaded Iraq, and we would not have our military struggling to perform police work and getting shot at."
Now I'm no mental giant...but I can poke big truck sized holes thru his thinking here. Like, George buddy...do you really think that we would get SUPPORT from the people who live among the terrorists..!!! Yeah, I can just see Detectives...knocking on cave doors in Afganistan. Idiot.
