George Soros on Lifelong Funding of Leftwing Causes: ‘Tide Has Turned Against Me’
Breitbart ^ | 28 Oct 2019 | Penny Starr

Posted on 10/29/2019 10:26:12 AM PDT by Windflier

Billionaire George Soros, who has spent his fortune promoting leftwing politicians, media, and organizations, said over the weekend that he hasn’t failed in his lifelong quest to put socialism in place in the United States, but has been impeded by his opposition, including President Donald Trump.

“Between the election of President Trump and Britain’s ongoing debate over Brexit, the billionaire philanthropist George Soros recognizes that populism is on the rise and that his brand of liberal democracy is faltering,” said Michel Martin, host of All Things Considered on taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR).

Soros also has supported NPR, including $1.8 million given to the media outlet in 2011.

“When I got involved in what I call political philanthropy some 40 years ago, the open society idea was on the ascendant — closed societies were opening up,” Soros said. “And now, open societies are on the defensive and dictatorships are on the rise.”

“I have to admit that the tide has turned against me, but I don’t think that I have failed,” Soros said.

NPR portrayed Soros as a benign philanthropist who wants to promote democracy.

One of the more hopeful pieces I've run across lately.

Pardon if I don't respond to many direct replies. Illness has imposed some limits on me these days.

Soros’ son, Alex, is already taking over the reigns of his father’s empire, ensuring the funding for global socialism continues.

Soros - “The tide has turned against me”

What he’s saying is that he’s not getting as much money from enemy nations to use against the US as he used to get.

Soros is a cheapskate.

He wouldn’t be using his money to try and destroy the United States.

He’s just a frontman.

He’s been getting money from nations hostile to The United States.

The only regret I’ll have when Soros dies is that he wasn’t hanged for crimes against humanity. He and his sorry spawn have caused more misery in this world than Osama Bin Laden. They might overtake his mentor Hitler before we are through with them.

That’s why all these people taking money from Soros are traitors.

They know the money is coming from nations hostile to the US.

They know the old cheapskate isn’t spending his own money.

And does anybody remember that Chelsea Clinton, only child of Bill and Hillary Clinton, had her wedding at a Soros estate?

SorozNazi belongs in prison and death row would be appropriate for all the damage he’s done the world, imho

how his darned $$$ suffices to keep him above the law and free to walk the streets....is an indictment of our justice system, imho

there is one justice for him and another for the rest of us

He doesn’t seem to care that we don’t want it. Obviously he shares Hillary’s opinion of we the citizens.

“benign philanthropist”

A malign misanthrope, at war with the liberty of individuals to exercise their free will.
