The Left: The smear ad published against Gen. Petraeus has drawn attention to its sponsor, MoveOn.org. But the fingerprints of the group's chief financial backer, George Soros, were all over it. Who is this man and what is he up to?
To read Soros' own spun story, he's a Jewish survivor of Nazi-occupied Hungary who pulled himself up by his bootstraps, studied economics in England, became a U.S. citizen in 1961 and made a multibillion-dollar fortune as a financier who pioneered hedge funds.
Over the years, Soros has written books giving his philosophical take on global affairs and acquired a reputation as something of a "stateless statesman." He calls himself a philanthropist and has given away $5 billion of his now $8.5 billion fortune through his principal vehicle, the Open Society Institute. The institute, in turn, has passed cash on to far more radical groups, such as MoveOn.org.

Better yet, he contracts a debilitating veneral disease that slowly turns him into a drooling idiot before he croaks (completely losing all control of his bladder and bowels years earlier). Preferably it is a disease on which he will waste hundreds of millions of dollars trying to have treated...to no avail. Before he dies, his insanity drives him to will all his remaining money to a junior college in West Virgina and some cats.
Indeed he was. He assisted his Nazi patron (a minor regime official who allowed Soros to pose as his godson to assist him) in discovering and confiscating the property of Jewish families in Hungary toward the end of the war.
His Nazi patron was so impressed with his skills in this area that he allowed young Soros to speculate on his behalf in currencies. It was with his share of the take that Soros was able to escape the Soviet occupation and make his way to free Europe and eventually to Britain and large-scale finance.
Amazing information george, I never read this before!
Then a couple years later, as documented in the Congressional Record, Milosevic shuts down Soros’ media operation in Serbia and this is when the Democrats started getting hawkish on Serbia. We fought a war to defend the honor of this lunatic. First time a war was fought for one person, at least in modern history.
THE TROOPS THE TROOPS AND
NOTHING BUT THE TROOPS...
i LIKE it.
LETS GET SOME VETS OUT TO CONGRESS WITH GIANT PLACARDS READY FOR THE SIGNATURES OF EVERY MEMBER WHO’LL SIGN....AND LETS SEE WHO SIGNS AND WHO DOES NOT.
He apparently got started at age 14 ?
Don’t forget that after Clinton had that insane bombing of Serbia to steal Kosovo from the Serbs, it was Soros who got control of the massive Trepca mining complex in northern Kosovo (the still-Serbian-inhabited part), which is worth untold billions of dollars.
I agree with you about everything you say about soros - he’s a bad, evil guy, bent on the destruction of America as it is.
His motives, motivations, and goals need to be exposed to everyone, and his link through MOveONBAT.org to the Democrat party needs to be just as publicly exposed. This is a job for the likes of Limbaugh, Ingraham, Hannity, etc. And yes, if the justice department can catch him in illegal activity, so much the better.
Soros = KAPO
What is most disconcerting his his work in Africa and with youth.....spreading socialist dogma, no doubt.
Calling him a Nazi collaborator at age 14 is a bit disingenuous.
It was a time when survival was everything.
What is amazing is Soros’ love of communism today even though he had to flee Hungary or face almost certain death at the hands of the new communist leaders. Anyone associated with the Nazi rule of Hungary was executed by the communists.
A big think in albania with the Soros mafia and the US corruption construction firm Bechtel
Albanian Deputy Minister Arrested
18 09 2007 Tirana _ Albania’s Deputy Minister of Transport, Nikolin Jaka, and several senior officials from his ministry were arrested on Tuesday, on charges of corruption related to a series of road tenders over the last two months.
In addition to Jaka, the police operation, codenamed “Clean Hands”, has resulted in the detention of eight persons.
They include Bashkim Kamberi, general director of roads in the Ministry of Transport, other officials, as well as three businessmen.
The officials have been charged with favouring several companies among those tendering for the construction of a number of roads.
The police operation, which recalls the campaigning slogan of the current governing centre-right coalition during the July 2005 parliamentary elections, came while the government remained under fire over another major road construction project.
The prosecutor-general’s office has been investigating possible irregularities in the tender for the construction of the Durres-Kukes highway, Albania’s largest public works project over the past two decades.
The highway would link the port of Durres with Kosovo, cutting travel time between the Albanian coast and Pristina, from 8 hours to 2.5 hours.
The project includes a 7-km-tunnel, the longest in the Balkans, and is now buing built by the American-Turkish consortium, Bechtel-Enka.!!!!!!!!!!

Some people chose to inform on others to the Nazis to save their own skins. And some people chose to protect others, even if it meant death.
The former are called collaborators, and Soros knew exactly what he was doing. And he didn't care.
I'm sorry. I despise Soros, but I will not condemn him for what he did at age 14 under Nazi occupation.
Soros' benefactor was a Nazi. To do anything but cooperate meant instant death.
You have no clue what it was like to live under those conditions.
Keyser Soze, KEYSER SOZE!!!!
Don’t count on it. The moveon.org and Soros types have a history of collaboration with the enemy. They will find a way to survive and flourish at the expense of the rest of us if the Jihadist took power here.

Great example of applying Western values to Middle East questions. In short, thats how we got ‘here’ in the first place.
