I'm betting on Soros or Gorbachev. I wonder who the false prophet will be though.

On Soros,

"I fancied myself as some kind of god …" he once wrote. "If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me in trouble."

"I am sort of a deus ex machina," Soros told the New York Times in 1994. "I am something unnatural. I'm very comfortable with my public persona because it is one I have created for myself. It represents what I like to be as distinct from what I really am. You know, in my personal capacity I'm not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I've very much self-centered."

"Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad," Soros once confided on British television. "In fact, my grandfather was actually paranoid. I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it."

"I do not accept the rules imposed by others…. And in periods of regime change, the normal rules don't apply."

Those quotes are absolutely incredible.

soros is a crook too. Not what he appears to be... which is an evil , evil man. He pushes this "open society" reformation crap in the former states of the USSR and all he is really doing is ripping the people of those countries off. HE WANTS WHATEVER RICHES THEY HAVE FOR HIMSELF AND HIS CROONIES!!

Well, he's right about that, As Nasser said,
"A revolutionary government recogizes no legality."

I don't think either Soros or Gorbachev has the necessary charisma. I think it's someone who will rise from obscurity to prominence very very quickly, as opposed to existing personalities like these.
