Happy New Year, Mr. Soros

The pictures shown on television in August and September '07 were clear, despite the efforts of the Burmese police to restrict coverage: Hundreds of saffron-robed Buddhist monks marched in front of an even larger number of mostly young men. Repeatedly they were challenged by security forces and dispersed, first with batons, then tear gas and rubber bullets, and finally gunfire.

As it turns out, George Soros and his Open Society Institute contracted with professional trainers to instruct Burmese dissidents.

According to the Soros mentality and political theory, the invasion of Iraq to depose the dangerous and destructive Saddam Hussein was deceitful and wrong. But encouraging holy men, farm kids, and students to march to bloody and futile confrontation is not. Imagine being a multi-billionaire and being that irresponsible...

What in the world does Soros think he's doing?

If a population wants to toss its dictators out, simply don’t go to work. It is pretty hard to force the masses to work, especially productive work.

How far along is the French request for his extradition? This b*st*rd is a pustule on the a$$ of our society.

Think about it. A man this wealthy has bought a lot of things. He owns businesses, real estate, stocks and bonds, but most importantly he has bought people. People who now share his ideology.

That’s what is scary. Shutting Soros down isn’t the answer. You have to shut down all that he owns, especially the politicians. He once said the Democrat party is bought and paid for.

That’s where you start.

I have said for 10 years that George Soros was one of the most DANGEROUS men in the world.....also one of the most VILE and EVIL.

Soros has bought most of the Democratic party, and probably a lot of important people in the UN. Who knows how many world leaders are on his payroll?

I agree with your opinion of Soros. I am betting 99% of the world population do not know who he is or what he is doing.
Maybe in the country of Georgia people know him as they tossed him out for tinkering with the election.

Now which 2008 presidential candidate threw a hissy fit about dirty campaign finance money and fixed it to birth SOROS moveon democrat party in the good ole USofA? Hmmmmm that modern era Phoenix rising via the MSM ash-heap. Can’t wait to see what is next on their agenda.

Word is most of those who marched and were picked up by the Burmese military haven’t been seen since.

In Russia, Soros' associates exercise great control over the selection of textbooks for Russian schools. According to a press release by the Gaidar Youth Library, financial support from the Open Society Institute provided it with computers, videocassettes, and CD's, all of which made "special training" for the children of "underprivileged people" possible in the library: snip ...the "Open Society" Institute (Soros Fund, Budapest) for the opportunity to realize this project in a full volume. In 1999, the Moscow Open Society office started a major five-year project, "The Development of Education in Russia." Its goal is to "reeducate rural teachers at a cost of US $100-150 million" (Nezavisimaya Gazeta, September 19, 1998). It is also applying a program called "Tolerance" in Russian secondary schools, but its masterminds may have made a linguistic blunder. According to a Russian critic of the program, snip How come this financial manipulator tries to teach us about tolerance, us who grew up with Leo Tolstoy, one of the first philosophers of non-violence? . . . But Mr. Soros is also a horribly distorted mirror, which should make us see our own, present image, without blinking or turning away. There are times when evil can become an eye-opener, when its derisive laughter can waken us up and help regaining our strength. We should not miss this opportunity. A first step in that direction may have been taken last November 7, when the OSI Moscow office was raided by a private security company hired by the owner of the building with whom the foundation was engaged in a protracted legal battle. Only weeks before, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the billionaire oligarch and OSI Moscow executive director who has his own NGO called the Open Russia Foundation, was arrested and charged with tax evasion, theft, forgery, and fraud. Soros denounced the arrest as an act of "persecution" that should disqualify Russia from belonging to the G-8 group of industrialized countries. "I believe that he acted within the constraints of the law. I am doing the same in the United States," said Soros, alluding to his multimillion-dollar donations toward "regime change" in Washington next November. The American press indignantly reported that the raid was directed against a philanthropic organization that had spent "more than $US 1 billion on charitable projects in Russia in the past 15 years." "Racism" is Soros' regular obsession, but he faced the potential problem of finding it in racially nondiverse Eastern European countries. This has been resolved by identifying a designated victim group-Gypsies! "Few minority groups in Europe face as much social, economic, and political discrimination as do Romani people," says OSI. Being a "Roma activist" has become a lucrative designation within the community. Seventy of the most promising ones came to the conference "Roma in Expanding Europe: Challenges for the Future," held in Budapest last summer, at which Soros inaugurated a "Decade of Roma Inclusion." The conference offered policy recommendations, some of which could have been written by Jesse Jackson: first, obligatory and free preschool education in desegregated classrooms; second, Romani assistants in the classroom, especially in preschool; third, antibias training for teachers and school administrators; and fourth, integration of Romani history and culture in textbooks at all levels. http://www.network54.com/Forum/155335/thread/1025834278/last-1028554053/The+Secret+Financial+Network+Behind+"Wizard"+George+Soros

I agree with you. I only wish that the Democratic Party had been abolished when slavery was abolished.
