Gonna get that book!
marking
I ordered my free copy of the book through Human Events online. I got 34 issues of Human Events magazine coming (I think it's 34 issues) and in return, they are sending the book free of charge.
Horowitz is brilliant. Soros is, uh, not.
BTW, what the hell is the WSJ doing, allowing the darkly psychotic Soros to write an op-ed? Maybe it was to expose Soros for what he realy is, but any publicity is good publicity and putting drivel like that in print just helps to legitimize the rantings of a madman.
Soros is not an American. He is a Hungarian, and a former Nazi, despite his Jewishness.
The WSJ, country-club-Republican columnists notwithstanding, is, in all other respects, every bit as left-wing as any other major newspaper.
There is an easy cure to neutralize this madman. George Soros has helped Nazis in Budapest 1944 to confiscate Jewish property. He was also member of Hungarian Nazi orgqanisation. As a naturalized U.S. citizen, it is very likely that he lied on his citizenship application about his wartime activities hiding behind his young age. His U.S. citizenship could be revoked.
Don't let creepy old rich guys run your party.
When I read the piece in the WSJ it was so dumb that it actually made the point that he was so wrong so often. Give him enough rope to hang himself ;)
I have been reading this book, and it is both frightening and infuriating. Horowitz has really made a big contribution by telling us who these people are and what they are up to. A coalition of radicals and underworld is devoted to the proposition that you wreck America by gaming the system and bankrupting it so they can take over and create some egalitarian nightmare where everyone has the same income whether they work or not. I remember 1968, their debut performance, and I do not want to see that again.
Has the Democratic Party become a cult?
Yes!
And they say that the Republicans are the party of the rich. It starting to sound like the party of Clinton is becoming a country-club itself.
This should be pointed out in the press (editorials, letters to the editor, etc.) at every opportunity and we should be pointing out WHO or WHAT is funding the DNC. The more Americans are made aware of this, the less damage a criminal like Soros can do.
Ditto that!
It's more pernicious and widespread than this article would suggest. Soros fronts "seed money" to a myriad of rinkydink political websites--he doesn't make them rich, he just buys a little loyalty. He has his fingers in almost every amateur filmmaking society--he's financing dozens of independent "documentaries"--mostly unsuccessful, but taken together create a kind of chorus, or illusion of a raucous opposition. Slowly and surely, he's buying media, like a leftist Murdoch, but without a profit motive in mind.
He's laying a lot of groundwork, and he's got hundreds of millions of dollars to spend. He spent it very poorly in 2004...but he may have better people working for him this time around.
Soros' infinite money font should be looked into. Looks like he's laundering OPM like there's no tomorrow. The film connection is interersting. Read on:
July 20, 2006 Movie Execs Charged in Money-Laundering Case
Federal prosecutors say Limelight Films was a front in international drug smuggling.
By Andrew Blankstein and Richard Winton, LA Times Staff Writers

Limelight Films seemed from the outside like so many upstart production companies in Hollywood: It had a Sunset Boulevard address, a connection to Tinseltown royalty and deals to distribute a small slate of low-budget films.
But federal authorities have alleged that the film corporation was a front for an international drug-smuggling and money-laundering operation stretching from Los Angeles to Switzerland. Limelight Chief Executive Bruno D'Esclavelles of Los Angeles and Alexandre De Basseville, an executive in a Swiss financial firm that owned the film company, were among seven men arrested June 1 as part of a two-year federal investigation dubbed "Operation Director's Cut." D'Esclavelles and De Basseville were arrested in Arlington, Va., and charged with conspiracy to distribute Ecstasy.
Authorities said they learned about Limelight from an informant and set up a sting operation in which agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration posed as Ecstasy buyers working for South American drug dealers.
The criminal complaint alleges that Limelight executives laundered $300,000 through the film company for the undercover agents. The arrests followed numerous meetings between the agents and Limelight executives, who allegedly promised to arrange the sale of half a million Ecstasy tablets, according to court documents. Neither D'Esclavelles nor De Basseville could be reached Wednesday for comment, and the number listed for Limelight's West Hollywood offices was disconnected.
Limelight's officials described their company in news releases as being at "the forefront of every aspect of the entertainment industry, from feature films to television, commercials, music videos, and broadcasting." The company was created out of "a desire to promote worldwide talented individuals who treasure cinema and cherish the creative spirit of Charlie Chaplin."
But Limelight's creative output has been modest, consisting of a handful of documentaries such as "The Letter: An American Town," "Somali Invasion" and the feature "The Gun."
Actress and model Kiera Chaplin, 23, the granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, serves as president of the company. Chaplin, who was once engaged to De Basseville, has not been charged with a crime. But that hasn't stopped British tabloid newspapers from using the case as headline fodder for weeks. The Sunday Mirror in London reported earlier this month that "the sexy granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin has sensationally scrapped plans to marry her mega-rich fiance after he was arrested on suspicion of drug dealing." De Basseville has often been photographed with Chaplin on the red carpets of Hollywood events.
Limelight's Chief Financial Officer David Liberman was charged with conspiracy to launder money. Also charged were Thomas Frischknecht, 26, of Switzerland, and Fabian Pruvot, 37, Andre Prikazhikov, 31, and Brian Delansky, 33, all of Los Angeles.
According to federal court documents, investigators first learned about De Basseville two years ago from an informant who told the Internal Revenue Service that De Basseville had made global investments with money laundered through Swiss banks and businesses.
The undercover agents said De Basseville told them that movies could be used to launder the money. "He stated that the dirty money goes into the movie project and comes back clean," wrote drug enforcement Special Agent James Williamson in a report contained in the court filing.
The agents met with De Basseville and several of his associates, including those charged, in Los Angeles, Miami, Virginia, Amsterdam and Geneva. Authorities alleged that the men also promised the undercover agents that they could obtain thousands of weapons, including AK47 rifles, from Russia.
"This could be the script of a Hollywood movie," said James Trump, the assistant U.S. attorney who is prosecuting the case in northern Virginia.
George soros was also recruted by the Soviet KGB to work to undermine the west.
