This is really as ridiculous as the left's take on Karl Rove.
The days of a rich guy manipulating the world are over. There are hundreds of billionaires, and the top 10% of the general population has much more total money than even they do, not to mention hundreds of times more writers and reasoners.
What happens nowadays is due to the actions of thousands and millions of people at the top of society. Soros can say and believe anything he wants, but if no one buys it his money won't help.
Obviously, some people in the upper-class ruling group who do believe what he says, but they would probably think that even if he didn't exist.
So what? Which is more dangerous--one man with an Idea and the cash equivalent of the resources of millions of people, or many people with many ideas?
You're ignoring the power of Soros' ability to focus, and not need the agreement of others. That 10% you mentioned don't behave as a bloc. Soros, one man, does.
So are the cult followers called Sorasses?
Bump for morning read over coffee.
Conspiracy theories have their place...over a bucket of beer and chicken wings.

Yes, because, afterall, liberalism is a religion, and their main ethos is nihilism.
That's not what Horowitz and Poe are contending.
Instead, they assert that Soros is trying to manipulate a single political party, by having gained control of its funding.
Such an act is well within Soros' means and not inconsistent with Democrat motivations; the party would readily sell its soul for a return to power.
In sum, Horowitz and Poe appear to be correct.
The IRS should investigate george Soros and IMO they would have him by the balls.
If Bubba Clinton were the subject of his attackes he would already be in jail.
"Such an act is well within Soros' means and not inconsistent with Democrat motivations; the party would readily sell its soul for a return to power.
Unfortunately for them, selling out to Soros would probably give a result similar to the McGovern campaign.
Of course, then someone would say that Soros is a Rove puppet.
What planet, exactly, do these folks come from?
Sorry, but you are wrong. This is so true of Soros.
Are you replying to post #2 or post #12?
Read the book and you will see the ties between Soros and other billionaires he has recruited, radical extremists, and Hillary Clinton. It is frightening and maddening at the same time.
Petro-Canada was a band-aid (and an opportunity to launch a liberal get rich quick scheme) to pacify Canada's anti-American Left, who were then protesting over American ownership of the country's oil companies.
Strong talked a good economic-nationalist game to pacify the Canadian left -- but unknown to the Canadian left, and public in general, Pertro Canada was also American owned, and Strong himself was the major reason why the public's oil company was U.S.-owned.
Ten years before, while in charge of Power Corporation, he had made it possible for Shell to take over the only remaining all-Canadian oil company- Petro Canada- by throwing a controlling block of shares in its direction.
After a couple of years, Strong left Petro-Canada for various business deals, including one with Adnan Khashoggi through which he ended up owning the 200,000-acre Baca religious ranch in Colorado, now a "New Age" center run by his wife, Hanne.
Ironically, this ranch also sits on one of the largest fresh water aquifers in the entire USA. Does anyone now wonder why no drilling is allowed anywhere near it?
.
In 1985, Strong was back as executive coordinator of the UN Office for Emergency Operations in Africa, in charge of running the $3.5-billion famine-relief effort in Somalia and Ethiopia. And in 1989, he was appointed Secretary General of the Earth Summit. Not bad for a guy who hadnever run for office, was never elected to one, and had never went to high school. Is anyone wondering why foriegn aid money never seems to do much? That's because it never gets to where we send it.
When a disasater happens, the UN's media pals go and stage a huge disaster, often filming a destroyed building from every possible angle, and have a Un puppet government plead for help, another giving generously, and is if by magic, Annan and Co. are rolling in $$$. Maurice makes it dissapear among his friends, like Soros.
Soros is also a usefull tool to the likes of the UN's "elite". It takes big money to collapse small countries economies, and soro big money to launder the aid money.
It is interesting to read Strong's 1972 Stockholm speech and compare it with the issues of Earth Summit 1992.
Strong warned urgently about global warming, the devastation of forests, the loss of biodiversity, polluted oceans, and the population time bomb.
Then as now, he invited to the conference the brand-new environmental NGOs. He gave them money to come; and they were invited to raise hell at home. After Stockholm, environment issues became part of the administrative framework in Canada, the U.S., Britain, and Europe.
IN the meantime, Strong continued building his international networking list- on which his influence rests.
He became a member of the World Commission on Environment and Development (the Brundtland Commission).
He found time to serve as president of the World Federation of United Nations Associations, on the executive committee of the Society for International Development, and as an advisor to the Rockefeller FoundationWorld Wildlife Fund. Above all, he served on the Commission on Global Governance -- which plays a crucial part in the international power grab.
Some of Strongs pals include:
- Al Gore. (Of course.) - former World Bank President James Wolfensohn, (formerly on the Rockefeller Foundation Board and on the Population Council Board; (Strong he was Al Gore's favored candidate for the World Bank position).
- James Gustave Speth, head of the Carter Administration's Council on Environmental Quality, crafter of the doomladen Global 2000 report, member of the Clinton - Gore transition team; he also lead the UN Development Program.
- Shridath Ramphal, formerly Secretary General of the (British) Commonwealth, Co-Chairman of the ,b>Commission on Global Governance.
- Jonathan Lash, President of the World Resources Institute -- which works closely with the World Bank, the UN Environment Program, and the UN Development Program -- and Co-Chairman of the President's Council on Sustainable Development.
- Ingvar Carlsson, former Swedish prime minister and Co-Chairman of the Commission on Global Governance.
The Cult of Soros then, is really the cult of Liberal elites, who selecte and not elected, through the UN and the many NGO's, want to rule the world and make people live as they see fit.
Fight this evil organization, and these horrible little Soros trolls than make it thrive.

Sorry, but you are dead wrong. The Lberal elite control a lot of things, and as a group have the ability to do a lot of damage to the world.
Time to wake up and read up. Start with the rich guy I posted about. Read the article, then ask yourself again if people like this friend of Soros is powerless. They all belong to the same club.
This isn't some black helicopter/tinfoil conspiracy thing; no, this is a compilation, of sorts, of Soros' dealings and political dabbling for the last decade or so.
The article isn't discussing the top 10% of this nation's political denotations, but rather, Soros and a small band of fellow billionaires, whose sole purpose if control. Soros is a VERY focused man. Forget THE PRINCE and read up on Cardinal Richelieu, in France.
Yes, there are GOPer billionaires ( and in this case, millionaires just don't cut it !), but unlike the billionaires on the far left, the ones on our side aren't into forming a shadow government and never have been.
And it isn't just America, that Soros has meddled with! No, he has tried to meddle, sometimes successfully and sometimes not, in quite a number of nations' politics and economics.
This is hardly a conspiracy theory! Who do you think funds MoveON and Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink and so much of America's "peace" and anarchist groups?
