I am reading Soros’ latest book now. It’s hard to see how this man could truly be called anti-Capitalist.

The point he tries hardest to make is that a society’s awareness of itself, and its intention to change itself, alter society in way that makes reality-based action impossible. We see this all around us.

The social movements we dislike most are founded on the idea that some group — a party, an elite — has superior knowledge or moral standing, and is therefore in a position to govern. Soros’ reasoning is very much in opposition to them, and deprives them of the justification to rule the rest of us.

Oddly, Soros’ clear desire to be seen as the external source of a radical, true idea about society is exactly the kind of thing that his theory of Reflexivity says is impossible.

SEPTEMBER 2002 : (GEORGE SOROS’ OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE GIVES $20,000 TO THE LYNNE STEWART DEFENSE COMMITTEE {see NATIONAL LAWYER’S GUILD, 1993 WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING COCONSPIRATOR BLIND SHEIKH}) There is a link, a very big one, between Barbara Boxer, and Lynn Stewart, and Howard Dean.
His name is George Soros, who not only famously backs the Democrat Party, but also bankrolled Lynn Stewart’s defense (hat tip LawHawk, via LGF), gave MoveOn.org $5 million to benefit Howard Dean, and gave money to Barbara Boxer
Stephen Minarik should not apologize for the truth. Liberal Senator Boxer, radical terrorist supporter Stewart, and DNC Chairman Screamin’ Dean all readily took money from convicted anti-American billionaire George Soros.
Minarik’s comments might be offensive to Dean, but they were on the money.

He is anti-Capitalist in the sense of a free market. He uses manipulation and crime to get maximum gain for himself. He is a egomaniac first and only. He screws around with countries and currencies across the globe. He thrives on chaos.

Since he has made already his fortune abusing capitalism, he wants to make sure no one else profits from it That's why he imposes leftist puppet governments in the West.
