It is highly unlikely that even a rich, powerful man like Soros could have such a dominating influence over world affairs without state sponsorship of his activities ...

I am usually impressed by the writing on American Thinker but not so much with this comment. The rest of the article is fine. He just draws the wrong conclusion.
Germany is a democracy. Its leaders are elected and its leaders are dependent on donations to their campaigns to garner election and reelection.
This leaves them open to influence by those that can come up with sizable donations of cash to those campaigns.
The availability of cash to fund activist that loudly voice opinions and get their opinions in print also can influence elected leaders.
It seems more likely to me that it is Soros that pulls the strings on Germany than the other way round.
One man with Billions of dollars available to influence a few critical leaders in one country seems more likely to get his way than a group of politicians who rarely agree on anything.
I agree.
Soros did their dirty work in Hungary as a Nazi collaborator and war criminal, so what is different now other than a few decades.
History will not be kind to the old Nazi and his cohorts. Dr. Kaplan's book appears to be well-researched and informative. Like putting together pieces of a massive jigsaw puzzle, we will eventually come to know the depth and scope of the evil and destruction that has been wrought by those who believe they are superior and should be the masters of humanity. They despise freedom and they despise America.
Let us acknowledge their existence and their near-victory in destroying liberty. Then let us proceed to wipe them off the face of the earth.
Other than his father is dead, Hitler is dead, Nazi Germany is no more and he is now a billionaire; not much.
I think the Padawan has now become the master.
You are welcome!
I would disagree.
Germany has this odd vehicle of public TV (two major networks, and at least ten sub-networks) where public chat forums occur at least twenty times a month with the various political parties getting front row seats to discuss their hype or thrill-of-the week. All of this....free of charge because of the mandatory public tax to fund public TV.
As for cash to fund campaigns, it’s much less of a problem than people think. TV ad’s in state elections in Germany are almost non-existent. For the national election...all of the political parties get a couple of spots per week....free of charge...on public-TV. I would take a guess that signs and posters are the chief expense for any campaign.
As for Soros and manipulation, I would agree that journalists are getting spoon-fed outlines to use in news articles or commentary...to get various agendas out in front of the various political parties. Some have been successful....some have fallen by the side.
