.......appears that George Soros owns 11,300 shares of OSI Systems Inc., the company that owns Rapiscan (TSA scanners). OSI’s stock has appreciated considerably .........also shares an acronym with Soros’s phony global philanthropic organization, the money laundering Open Society Institute (OSI). NOTE: Former Homeland Security secretary, Michael Chertoff is also hustling for Rapiscan.........

You also gotta wonder who else in the WH Chi-mob is in on the take. You can bet these greedsters yelled bloody murder til they got a share of the scanner scam.

It’s an unspoken universal truth----—anything that makes Soros richer is bad for America.

A-m-e-n.

I never did trust Chertoff. There is something ‘off’ about the man.
