George Soros, you are wrong. You are on the wrong side of history, both the world’s and your own. Your fans say you’re “sincere,” but sincerity is no excuse for stupidity.

Hopefully, the 'Rats will ignore this duplicitous sociopath in the future.

Seriously- what happened in this man's brain for him to undergo SUCH an extreme change- and to lose his appreciation for freedom?

You might believe that in spending his money he was willing to give it up... no.. he was merely investing for his future sweetheart deals with the kerry-heinz's and the new un masters clinton. Single minded in his desire for money, nothing more, nothing less. Greed.

How about an investigation into claims that The Clinton democrat party administration gave Soros CIA top secret financial data in Malaysia and other nations?

This allowed Soros to become a billionaire using this insider info for currency specululation on a level unparalleled in history.

Soros is a master of manipulating the world's currency markets. My guess is that he envisioned a scheme to further enrich himself if America's domination of global foreign affairs and economic power is somehow seriously diminished.

I say a special task force should examine Soro's buttcrack with a flashlight and if they find anything out of place indict him for racketeering, campaign finance law violations and whatever else will stick. Convict him in absentia and put him on a terrorist no-fly list so he can never enter the United States again.

I dont really know who Barry Farber is but he has the best voice and most wonderful way of stringing words together on the radio. I listen to him when I can find him up here in Leftist-land.

Spending like drunken sailors for a number years, at government, corporate, and personal levels, is catching up with us. Get ready for some serious, intense, importation of inflation. Our IOU's are getting shorted big time.

Dollar expected to fall amid China's rumoured selling
By Steve Johnson in London and Andrew Balls in Washington
Published: November 7 2004 19:43 | Last updated: November 7 2004 19:43

Euro and dollar

The dollar could slide still further, in spite of hitting an all-time low against the euro last week in the wake of George W. Bush's re-election, currency traders have said.

The dollar sell-off has resumed amid fears among traders that Mr Bush's victory will bring four more years of widening US budget and current account deficits, heightened geopolitical risks and a policy of "benign neglect" of the dollar.

Many currency traders were taken aback on Friday when the greenback fell in spite of bullish data showing the US economy created 337,000 jobs in October.

"If this can't cause the dollar to strengthen you have to tell me what will. This is a big green light to sell the dollar," said David Bloom, currency analyst at HSBC, as the greenback fell to a nine-year low in trade-weighted terms.

The dollar's fall comes as the Federal Reserve is widely expected to raise US interest rates by a quarter point to 2 per cent when it meets on Wednesday and to signal that it will continue with a measured pace of rate increases.

Speculative traders in Chicago last week racked up the highest number of long-euro, short-dollar contracts on record. Options traders have reported brisk business in euro calls - contracts to buy the euro at a pre-determined rate.

However, the market has been rife with rumours that the latest wave of selling has been led by foreign governments seeking to cut their exposure to US assets.

India and Russia have reportedly been selling US assets, as well as petrodollar-rich Middle Eastern investors.

China, which has $515bn of reserves, was also said to be selling dollars and buying Asian currencies in readiness to switch the renminbi's dollar peg to a basket arrangement, something Chinese officials have increasingly hinted at. Any re-allocation could push the dollar sharply lower and Treasury yields markedly higher.

It's called power.

Ignore Soros. . .AND his money? No way.

Of course, maybe GS will not offer as much; next go round; and just maybe he will experience an 'enlightenment' of sorts that will only make him then; an anathema to the Left. Or maybe he has found the monastery where he can please his soul until his afterlife beckons.

If not any of the above; then no most likely all Demrat hands will be out; palms up, to big George.

I agree; hardly ever listen; but if traveling and I find him; hearaing his voice, is like listening to a kind of 'magic' as you drive along in the night. At least 'night' was the time I would catch him.

Thought he was 'playing out of New York'.

Well Soros still spends a lot of money funding democracy organizations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia where central authority and dictatorships are the norm.

However, I don't know why he came out on the side of Kerry this time around. Maybe his interests aren't particularly in the United States but focused on other countries. Maybe this gives him some credibility in some of those countries?

However, I'm not so sure this is the case in Eastern Europe where pro-America sentiment is high. That's why we have Polish and Bulgarian troops helping us out in Iraq.

Seems like a bad move to me.

George Soros shorted the Greenback. His activities weren't so much to oust W. as to throw the $ into a dive and make Arafat green with envy.

I dont really know who Barry Farber is

Bary Farber:

Legendary radio talk show host Barry Farber, whose daily radio program is heard across America on the Talk America Radio Network, is a regular NewsMax columnist offering political and social commentary.

"Barry Farber is one of the greats of talk radio, and we are pleased to have him with NewsMax.com," Christopher Ruddy, president of NewsMax.com, said.

"Every morning I have been going to NewsMax.com. It's my favorite source for news on the web and I'm glad to be on the NewsMax.com team," Barry Farber, who broadcasts from New York, said.

Barry Farber has had an incredible career. Before leaving college Barry had been an editor of a daily newspaper, a wrestler, a steel worker, a representative of American college students in Yugoslavia and Brazil, an interpreter for units of the Chinese Nationalist Navy, and a Phi Beta Kappa student. All before leaving college.

Since then, Barry's news coverage has taken him in and out of trouble spots all over the world: He led Hungarians across the border after their revolution and sped to Cuba after the fall of Batista, beating Fidel Castro to Havana by five days! Barry reported on the repression of Soviet Jews from the Moscow synagogue beginning in 1956.

In 1991, Barry's nationally syndicated radio show won him the title of "Talk Show Host of the Year." His numerous articles have appeared in the New York Times, Reader's Digest, the Washington Post, and the Saturday Review, to name a few.

Soros was convicted for insider trading in France in 2002. HE made his money by trading on inside information.
