Having purchased, rented, or placed a down payment on all the political influence up for sale in America, leftist troublemaker George Soros now plans to ramp up his war on markets worldwide by creating an Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET).
The system we have now has actually broken down, only we havent quite recognized it and so you need to create a new one and this is the time to do it, Soros told the Financial Times last month.
Soros said he wants Communist China to run this new financial system. You really need to bring China into the creation of a new world order, a financial world order, Soros said.
If that doesnt send a chill down the spines of freedom lovers in America and elsewhere, nothing will. In an interview with Der Spiegel last year Soros said European-style socialism is exactly what we need now. I am against market fundamentalism. I think this propaganda that government involvement is always bad has been very successful but also very harmful to our society.
As preparation for INET, which already has a functioning website, Soros gathered economists to plot his renewed drive for world statism. One of those economists is Joseph Stiglitz, a member of the Socialist International. Stiglitz sits on SIs Commission on Global Financial Issues, which was created to address from a social democratic perspective the ongoing global financial crisis. Of course to socialists a capitalist economy is by definition always in crisis, but thats a discussion for another day.
INETs website quotes socialist Stiglitz saying, The financial crisis has caused a moment of deep reflection in the economics profession, for it has put many long-standing ideas to the test. If science is defined by its ability to forecast the future, the failure of much of the economics profession to see the crisis coming should be a cause of great concern.
Soros, the de facto owner of Americas Democratic Party who spent over $20 million to prevent President Bushs reelection in 2004, plans to shell out $50 million for INET over a decade and hopes matching funds will bring in another $150 million.
Why Soros feels hes not having enough impact on the world is unclear.
Soros helped finance the Czech Republics 1989 Velvet Revolution that brought Vaclav Havel to power. He acknowledged having orchestrated coups in Croatia, Georgia, Slovakia, and Yugoslavia. He brought the financial systems of the United Kingdom and Malaysia to their knees.
In the U.S., his preferred candidate now lives in the White House, the radical party he adores controls Congress, and interest groups and the bulk of the progressive political infrastructure kneel at his feet. Through his charity, the Open Society Institute, Soros funds groups such as ACORN that are among the most influential in America. Newsweeks Michael Hirsh channels Soros in describing the purpose of INET. The new institute, Hirsh writes, will make research grants, convene symposiums, and establish a journal, all in an effort to take back the economics profession from the champions of free-market zealotry who have dominated it for decades, and to correct the failures of decades of market deregulation. Of course free market enthusiasts do not dominate the field of economics, as Donald J. Boudreaux, chairman of the economics department at George Mason University points out, but why should Soros let a few inconvenient facts get in the way of his grand project.
Only in the twisted fantasies of the septuagenarian billionaire philanthropist whose demeanor is that of an aging James Bond villain on sedatives could such phantom armies of marauding free market fundamentalists wreak havoc on America.
Perhaps these were the same laissez-faire legionnaires who brought us Sarbanes-Oxley, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, various government bailouts of private industry, farm subsidies, ethanol mandates, smart growth, and the Community Reinvestment Act in recent decades.

Soros it nothing more than an international punk; as least Jack Ruby was a man about what he did!
Great idea George. Let’s have the country that sent milk powder to the US that was laced with a chemical that killed dogs and made children horribly ill run the world’s economic system. What a despicable human being.
why is it that the crazed nut cases always shoot the good guys ? And guys like this get to just carry on .......
I don’t think he is a person. He is a creature out of Hell.
In a normal world this croock should be on trial and in jail!
How can he pretend to rule the world,including US,economy?
What is his mandate?
CHINA is a great democracy...and it’s the US future according to SOROS.
Bring a good rope!

No, he is nothing but a very old socialist that can no longer get a "hard on" and this is his substitute for sex.
PS
He also loathes the country that gave him citizen ship after world war II>
I’ll buy some champagne to celebrate when the old fool finally kicks the bucket. Not that it will stop Obama from doing his usual foolhardy things of course..
Unforunately, he was able to reproduce and is offspring are splitting images of him ideologically.
Good point, as I have said for years, there is no difference between here and there, it is just how it is done....
I believe that Soros’ psyche was so damaged in his youthful betrayal of his people to the Nazi death squads that today he is basically a psychological/emotional/intellectual cripple. Also there is the element of seeking atonement by becoming a “Socialist Saint” as so many of the guilty rich do (c.f. Teddy Kennedy). This strategy also keeps the leftist looters away from his vast pile of gold.
I was gonna say, isn’t this guy 80+ years old? When is Dr. Evil gonna drop dead?
Sorry to hear he has children.
I think you answered your own question.
This man should be perp walked to the nearest jail cell and made to pay back every penny he stole.
Indeed. Soros is a member of the globalist elite.
And he is breathing, why?
i'd like to think this is satire, but some of "our leaders" (e. g. Bill Gates) say complementary things about China.
Mr. Soros why don’t you start your socialist party by redistributing all YOUR money...to me!
