What Soros Wanted, Obama Delivers

In January 2004, George Soros proclaimed to the world, "I have made rejection of the Bush doctrine the central project of my life." To which he added, "America, under Bush, is a danger to the world. And I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is." Soros then waged a nearly one-wallet war against Bush, put more than $25 million of his own cash into Kerry's election bid and came out of the whole gambit with a tattered I-Voted-for-the-other-guy t-shirt.

In 2006, Soros declared in a depressive-mood pity party at the Council on Foreign Relations: "In the future, I'd very much like to get disengaged from politics. I'm interested in policy and not in politics."

Soros supported Barack Obama's candidacy, telling Judy Woodriff in May 2008, "...Obama has the charisma and the vision to radically reorient America in the world." When Woodriff queried Soros on whether it might be a concern that Obama lacked experience to lead in this dangerous time we live in, Soros responded, "...this emphasis on experience is way overdone..."

Experience was actually far underrated in that contest, but we'll have to save that subject for another day.

On "reorienting America in the world," President Obama started doing that before he even won election with his people-of-the-world speech in Berlin:

The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down.

These words were surely music to Soros' ears as he has been a lifelong Esperantist in the footsteps of his father. Soros is one of the world's few native Esperanto speakers and was wont to quell his youthful depression in London's famous speaker's corner, proclaiming the virtues of creating the Esperantist version of the tower of Babel in the modern world. For readers who might never have heard of Esperanto, it was the invention of a 19th century Jewish doctor, who dreamed of a world free of nationality. He invented a trans-European language to push the ideology and Soros' father, Tivadar was one of its leading proponents.

No American president thus far has professed more affinity for this absurd goal than Barack Obama. And he even has the preemptively awarded Nobel Peace Prize to prove it. Whether George Soros had anything to do with the award, we might never know, but it seems mighty darned fishy and definitely in keeping with both Soros' international influence and his aim of "reorienting America in the world."

We have gotten some idea what Soros means by "reorienting America" from his book, The Bubble of American Supremacy. According to Soros' written rants, America, under the leadership of George W. Bush, had gotten way too big for her breeches. Soros saw our lone superpower status and stubborn fidelity to the principle of national sovereignty as painful thorns in his internationalist side.

Writing in The Bubble of American Supremacy, Soros expounded upon his belief that 9/11 was horribly mishandled by the Bush administration, should have been dealt with by criminal investigations not war, and that Bush's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were merely the results of the President's faulty "supremacist ideology."

Soros took it upon himself in the same screed to define the Bush doctrine, saying it was "built on two pillars":

1) The United States will do everything in its power to maintain its unquestioned military supremacy.

Never mind that Soros' definition of the Bush doctrine is both faulty and ideological at its core (see Krauthammer's essay defining the Bush doctrines). What's important to note here is that since his inaugural, President Barack Obama has defined his own foreign policy in nearly direct antithesis format to the pillars of the Bush doctrine as defined by Soros. What Soros wanted American foreign policy to be, Obama is delivering in spades. The final word from Soros in The Bubble of American Supremacy is the unabashed statement of his own preference for American foreign policy. It boils down to a beneficent America giving lots and lots of carrots to every country in the world as a means of offering "preventive action of a constructive and affirmative nature." It's the liberal answer to every problem that has ever ailed mankind: throw money at every monster until it gets so fat and happy it no longer wants to cause difficulties or wage war.

And, lo and behold, that's precisely what President Obama has set out to do since day one. Obama, too, sees global poverty as the root cause of all evil in the world, including crime, war and terrorism. His single piece of signature legislation in the Senate was a bill that would authorize an additional $845 billion from American tax payers to eradicate global poverty, and legislate a demand on future presidents to bring America in line with UN mandates on percentage of national GDP given to fight global poverty.

In addition, Obama agreed at the G20 summit in April to give more money to the International Monetary Fund (of which Soros is a huge fan), and then slipped billions of cash and a $100 billion line of credit for the IMF into the emergency war-funding bill passed this spring.

While President Obama continues to dither, American troops die in Afghanistan. But there isn't anything that can be added here on that front. Only time will tell whether our President has as much stomach for protecting our interests in the Middle East as he has for beer summits and throwing our money at every comer.

But it hasn't been just America's military supremacy that put such a bee in Soros' bonnet. It's also been our economic superiority.

Now, George Soros is nearly universally regaled as a wizard at currency speculation and hedge-fund management, skills which one of his sons has said have far more to do with a certain pain he gets in his back telling him when to buy and sell, than with any sage economic formula. But since 1992, when he earned the title of the man who broke the Bank of England by becoming a major player in the downfall of that nation's currency, Soros has been more of a prophet reaping the returns on his self-fulfilled prophecies than he has even been a speculator.

It has taken Soros much longer than he perhaps anticipated to bring down the U.S. dollar. By 2003, Soros was already predicting the downfall of the dollar. In a CNBC interview, amid a slump in the dollar's value against the euro, Soros added fuel to that fire by stating that he was already selling dollars. His statement, in turn, caused a further decline in the international worth of the dollar.

In Davos last year, at the World Economic Forum, Soros even went so far as to say that the current housing "bust" would signal the end of the dollar as the world's default currency. "The current crisis is not only the bust that follows the housing boom," Soros said. "It's basically the end of a 60-year period of continuing credit expansion based on the dollar as the reserve currency," he stated to the press.

One would have to be living under a rock these days not to see that the American dollar has been walloped under the leadership of Barack Obama. Weeding out the truth of which nations are actively working (Some would say, "conspiring.") to ditch the dollar as the preeminent world currency is proving difficult. Reports surface only to be denied a day later.

But this much is certain. Soros has long thought America far too powerful, and has seen the dollar's supremacy as every bit as dangerous to his internationalist schemes as our military strength. So far, President Barack Obama has done nothing whatsoever which would seem at odds with those scheming Soros doctrines.

If all of this does not hint at a shadow presidency with a powerful oligarch pulling the strings on a neophyte president, I honestly don't know what would.

Now, if someone could only burst Soros' self-inflated bubble before he has a chance to burst ours, we just might pull out of this unfolding nightmare.

George Soros wins, right? There was NEVER a possibility that there would be a compromise with George W. Bush. This is the way of tyrants, the more so, because George Soros was never elected to ANYTHING. He has flagrantly broken the law in financial matters in a number of jurisdictions around the world, and he is still wanted in France for stock market trading violations. Single-handedly, he led an assault on the British pound, through forced fluctuations in which the value of the pound was artificially forced down, and that was WITHOUT the active participation of the British government in the scheme.

He is doing the same thing to the US dollar, this time with the full and active assistance of the current regime in the White House, and with knowledgable persons in the House and Senate.

The wave was started with the insertion into the economic and financial trade circles of poorly funded and non-performing loans along with good solidly funded instruments that WERE on a steady yielding basis. Like a rotten aple in a barrel, the corrupted loans poisoned and destroyed the value of the large packages in which they were sold as a part of a much larger package.

The sensible thing, when this was discovered, would have been to buy out these non-performing loans, and dealt with them separately and decisively, foreclosing and liquidating with all deliberate speed. But there was such an overwhelming number, the “conventional wisdom” was to leave them in place, and do nothing.

This started to break some of the smaller banks, that had bought up these mortgages in the secondary market on good faith, only to see this rock turn to sand. The guarantors of these failed loans, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, were extended beyond their scope, and in a logical and sensible business world, SHOULD have gone bankrupt and been themselves liquidated. But these were New Deal programs or descendants of those programs, therefore sacred, and had to be rescued at any cost.

But this in itself, was not the tipping point. A sudden run-up in the price of crude oil (suspicion that again George Soros and others in consortium had bought huge numbers of futures, artificially skewing the market), and all sources of energy, in the summer of 2008, coupled with the restrictions on extracting and refining those sources of energy, drove the price to consumers to the breaking point. Suddenly, a lot of previously only marginal real estate mortgages went belly up, and into foreclosure in unprecedented numbers, as people began losing their employment due to the energy price shock, causing manufacturing and processing industries to scale back, or even close their doors altogether.

Business credit dried up, as all the resources were being thrown into rescuing these financial institutions which were hemorrhaging cash, finally turning to the Federal government for bail-out. An apparently little-known fact, the US government was nearly broke themselves, but they had a little trick up their sleeves - they could print money, unlike other less fortunate entities. Of course, this only works in the short term, but once the cash starts to flood out, the impulse is to use this strategy more and more.

Until we have the situation that now exists in Zimbabwe, where the surest way to decrease the value of perfectly good paper is to use it to print more currency.

The dollar is headed for its most drastic and severe depreciation since the start of the Great Depression, when overnight, the value of an ounce of gold, which had been $20 an ounce, shot up to $35 an ounce. Coupled with that was an Executive Order signed by FDR, that it was now illegal for US citizens to own gold (with certain small exceptions), all gold bullion and coins had to be turned in, and no claims in gold would be paid out by the US Treasury except to foreign holders of debt against the government or other US entities. I believe this restriction was ended by 1975, but only AFTER silver, the other currency reserve, had been effectively demonetized in 1964.

Now the dollar is worth whatever the Federal Reserve says it is worth, unless natural trading forces enter into the exchange, which make the dollar a commodity like anything else. If people do not trust the future value of the dollar, they will dump them, sometimes at a large discount, which has the effect of cheapening the dollar’s buying power.

China is very nervous today. They have a lot of dollars in their trading accounts, and nobody seems to want them.

The flames continue to consume. And this regime, with the help of George Soros, has chosen to spray gasoline on that fire.

Soros using “his own” money——ROTFL——that’s hilarious.

Now Soros’ organization is global, as we well know......but there HAS to be a paper trail....

The Reserve Primary Fund’s failure several weeks ago was “a tragedy,” said financial analyst Crane Data. A very strange charge.........without details.

Could be a con-—a diversion-—scapegoating in a dedicated scam that Obama, Rahm, Soros, and FDIC’s Sheila Bair, among others, are engaged in right now........to gain complete control of our financial system.

NEED TO KNOW Did investment banker Rahm reveal all his ties to financial institutions involved in Obama’s trillion dollar federal bailout?

NEED TO KNOW Did Rahm outline his activities on the Freddie Mac Board as Clinton’s appointee (involving trillions in mortgages that investment bankers repackaged and sold as securities)?

There is by design a 'language' barrier i.e. 'walls' that are in the process of being torn down, rebuilding their modern era 'Tower of Babel'. It does not appear BamaKennedy is trained in their language and why he gets off message with literally interpretation of their language.

A couple of examples... BamaKennedy did not stutter when he told Joe the Plumber he would redistribute wealth, and no stuttering when he said his plan would have decisions made by appointed panels to decide if old American grandmas should get a 'pill' or a 'procedure'.
