An Iranian-American scholar, Kian Tajbakhsh, is facing a new charge of spying. A judge read new charges against him of “spying for the George Soros foundation,” a reference to the Open Society Institute, a pro-democracy group founded by Mr. Soros, a prominent financier and philanthropist.
He was sentenced in October to 15 years for working as a consultant for the Open Society Institute, which the indictment identified as an adjunct of the C.I.A.
Tehran has accused the Open Society Institute of trying to stage a “velvet revolution” in Iran along the lines of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and the Rose Revolution in Georgia. Mr. Tajbakhsh, who immediately appealed the sentence, was transferred to solitary confinement and remains there, losing weight and suffering under “huge psychological and physical pressure,” according to the family member.

I have no doubt in my mind that bozo and Soros planned this for years and that is to get into power and to ruin the country from within while making billions
George Soros is pro-Democracy?
Color me baffled.
I guess pro-democracy groups is oppressed areas have little choice about who they ally with.
“groups is oppressed” = groups in oppressed
“a pro-democracy group”
Stalin would be proud of that lie.
Soros is certainly at par, or at least as dangerous as Iran, so there is a small part of me that would love to see Iran go FULL DICTATOR on Soros.
The probable truth is that this is just another propaganda Bull Crap Story.
Why doesn’t a mullah issue a fatwa calling for the head of socialist Soros? Are there any men left in Islam? /sarcasm
My understanding is that Soros is a self loathing Jew who was more than accommodating to the Nazis who murdered the people that he turned over to them. Israel should have disposed of this POS decades ago.
There is an aticle in the October Smithsonian Magazine (note to moderator... I was in the kitchen when I read it)
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Digs-Paper-Trail.html
It’s about the work a Palo Alta, CA company, Benetech, is doing reassembling thousands of documents in Guatamala in an effort to reveal the fate of tens of thousands of the Guatemalens who disappeared during their civil war.
A noble effort to be sure but their methods seemed to me to be open to bias, similar to the recently publicized computer modeling data gathered by the warmergate liars.
Reading the Smithsonian article, I got the impression that somehow, the US was being set up as the subject of another Obama Apology Tour. So I did a little digging myself.
It turns out the company founder, Jim Fruchterman, has been influenced by Soros to the tune of $250,000. This is not to say Benetech has not provided valuable service, especially to the blind, http://www.benetech.org/about/downloads/pa_weekly_reprint.pdf but isn’t twisting good intentions into another set of societal shackles a globalist trademark?
