Soros, the Man Who Cries Wolf, Now Is Warning of a 'Superbubble'

By GREG IP

June 21, 2008; Page B1

He has cried wolf many times, but this time George Soros says the beast is really upon us.

Mr. Soros, the chairman of Soros Fund Management, is best-known as a speculator, philanthropist and political activist. He made a fortune by doing things such as betting against Britain's currency in 1992 and Thailand's in 1997.

A Hungarian refugee, he has spent millions to promote democracy and learning in post-Soviet nations. He also has spent heavily to promote liberal causes and has been an ardent critic of President Bush.

Hmm... I suspect nothing is more important to him than how and when the crash occurs, if he want to advance his political agenda. That is, winning the presidential election.

I suppose the best case for him is a sudden catastrophic crash. If it turns out to be a progressively worsening stagnation, gathering momentum at a more gradual pace at least initially, it may not turn out to be a great disappointment for him.

If he and the other bright boys have manipulated the markets to get Obambi elected, they forgot the maxim that creating chaos breeds chaos. Once unleashed, it cannot be brought under control.

If Soros is warning about something, you can be dam’n sure he stands to make money out of it.

Is there anything in Soros’ personal history that indicates he is trustworthy?

Wait, just a minute. He's a evil, greedy, nasty, mean speculator ???

Aren't they the new poster child of all that's wrong with the world and the cause of artificially high fuel prices instead of skyrocketing demand and denied supply

Just where is the Moonbat rage ???

I know he’s smart but he sure didn’t come across that way in the interview

Well, he posed no threat to the Nazis.

Rush Limbaugh thinks Soros is going to win big by trying to short the market.

Since Soros is technically a convicted felon, I tend to question his involvement in financing political campaigns.

As you'll note, Georgy boy is now financing potential blockbuster flicks:

Soros’ father changed their family name from Schwarts to Soros.

They were a bunch of chicken shi’ites.

I wonder how many went to the ovens because of George.

I wonder how many died before they were gassed because of George.

He is one of the most evil people in all of history.

What worries me about Soros is that he’s well-known to some of the richest people on Earth, especially Warren Buffett and many hedge fund managers on Wall Street. In short, Soros has the influence to cause a large number of hedge funds to deliberately skew any commodities or equities market for nefarious reasons.
