On Dec. 20, 1998, in the midst of his murderous speculative rampage against the currencies of Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, and other targeted Asian nations, George Soros appeared on CBS-TVs 60 Minutes, to explain and defend his behavior. Confronted by interviewer Steve Kroft about his experiences as a youth in Hungary, under the Nazi occupation, Soros freely admitted that he posed as the adopted godson of an official of the Nazi-occupation government, and helped in the confiscation of Jewish properties.
Kroft: And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
Soros: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that thats when my character was made.
Kroft: In what way?
Soros: That one should think ahead. One should understand and anticipate events and when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a very personal experience of evil.
Kroft: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Soros: Yes. Yes.
Kroft: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Soros: Yes. Thats right. Yes.
Kroft: I mean thatsthat sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
Soros: Notnot at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you dontyou dont see the connection. But it wasit created nono problem at all.
Kroft: No feeling of guilt?
Soros: No.
Kroft: For example that, `Im Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there. None of that?
Soros: Well, of course I could be on the other side, or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldnt be there, because that waswell, actually, in a funny way, its just like in marketsthat if I werent thereof course, I wasnt doing it, but somebody else wouldwouldwould be taking it away anyhow. And it was thewhether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. I had no role in taking away the property. So I had no sense of guilt.
In an earlier television interview on the same subject, Soros was even more blunt about his role as a Nazi collaborator in the Holocaust. On April 15, 1993, Soros appeared on WNET-TV and declared, When the Germans came in, his father explained to him that, This is a lawless occupation. The normal rules dont apply. You have to forget how you behave in a normal society. This is an abnormal situation. And he [Soros's father] arranged for all of us to have false papers, everybody had a different arrangement. I was adopted by an official of the ministry of agriculture, whose job was to take over Jewish properties, so I actually went with him and we took possession of these large estates. That was my identity. So its a strange, very strange life. I was 14 at the time.
In point of fact, Soross adopted godfather served under Nazi Waffen SS Gen. Kurt Becher, who ran what was euphemistically called the Economic Department of the SS Command, which oversaw the extermination of 500,000 Hungarian Jews. In his famous book {Perfidy}, an indictment of the Jews who colluded with the Nazis in order to survive, Ben Hecht described Bechers Economic Department, in more graphic terms than did Soros. The Department was in charge of looting the properties of Hungarian Jews, in removing the gold fillings from the millions of teeth of the dead Jews; in cutting off the hair of millions of Jewesses before killing them, and shipping bales of hair to Germanys mattress factories; in converting the fat of dead Jews into bath soap, and in figuring out effective methods of torture to induce the Jews awaiting death to reveal where they had hidden their last possessions.
A psychiatrist might diagnose someone who went through such an experience, yet felt no remorse, no guilt, and actually boasted that it shaped his strategies as a ruthless, and very successful speculator, as a sociopath. Such clinical diagnosis aside, the simple fact is: Soros has devoted his entire adult life to the looting of the powerless, on behalf of the British financier oligarchy that sponsored his post-war career as one of the first of their offshore hedge-fund speculators. He asserts that morality has no place in the market, and that, if he had a conscience, he could never have succeeded in amassing his billions.
- The `Hostile Takeover of America -
As a matter of policy, Soross Quantum Fund has never accepted money from any American investorsin order to stay outside the reach of U.S. government investigation. He operates in such locales as the Dutch Antilles and Switzerland, yet much of his ill-gotten gains have been devoted to what some of his colleagues jokingly refer to as the hostile takeover of America.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Soros poured tens of millions of dollars into the campaign to legalize drugsmarijuana, heroin, and even crack cocaine. Soros refers to this as the open society, a lawless domain in which the only dictum is harm reduction. Soross dope legalization policies follow the model of the British East India Company, which waged two Opium Wars against China, during the 19th Century, to impose drug addiction on the populationfor British profit and social control.
Soross latest hostile takeover target is the Democratic Party, and over the past eight years, Soros and a gang of fellow billionaires have come pretty close to achieving their goal. Starting soon after George W. Bushs inauguration as President in early 2001, Soros poured a reported $18 million into passage of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law (Soros has continued to be a major donor to McCains Reform Institute), which placed a cap on soft money donations to the political parties, but left open a loophole, allowing nominally independent groups, referred to as 527s, to take unlimited donations. Soros began buying up the first generation of 527s, including outfits like MoveOn, ACT (America Coming Together), and Media Matters. Soros also played a pivotal role in the 2004 candidacy of Howard Dean, who bombed as a Presidential candidate, but was rewarded for his access to Soros loot with the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee, after John Kerrys loss to George Bush in November 2004.
From that perch, Howard Dean waged a ruthless campaign against candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 primary electionsin tandem with Soross Democracy Alliance, a secretive billionaires club, that pooled its money to take over and run a vast left-wing conspiracy of 527s, PACs, and think tanks, that has replaced any Democratic Party constituency organization. In the meantime, Soros found his legion of honest Bush-haters, in groups like MoveOn and ACT, to be useful tools in his further grimy speculative binges. Following the Kerry defeat, MoveOn, the Center for American Progress, and other progressive groups on the Soros dole, targeted Vice President Dick Cheney and Halliburton, the giant oil and defense contractor that was profitting mightily off Bush and Cheneys Iraq imperial misadventure.
The barrage of attacks on Halliburton drove the company stock down, from a peak of $40 down to $26at which point Soros began buying up Halliburton shares. Between the third quarter of 2005, and the fourth quarter of 2006, Soros bought 2 million shares of Halliburton, at an average price of just over $31. As the media attacks on Halliburtonin part, driven by Soross anti-Bush/Cheney and anti-war zealdied down by late 2006, Halliburton shares quickly rebounded. By early 2008, with Halliburton shares nearing $50, Soros had made an estimated $40 million in clear profit, making him one of the larger Bush-Cheney war profiteers.
there was a time when the goverment would have made sure that Soros would have a fatal accident

Soros is Blofeld.
Why has Israel - or any civilized nation, for that matter - not prosecuted him for war crimes? I don’t care if he was 14 or 40, there was a crime for which he feels remorse.
You do the crime, you do the time. Or is there a double standard?
