George Soros Funds Occupy Wall Street
Human Events ^ | October 21, 2011 | Matthew Vadum

Radical anti-American billionaire George Soros is a major backer of a left-wing group that is funneling money to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The nonprofit organization at the receiving end of Soros’ largesse, Alliance for Global Justice, is managing donations benefiting the communists, socialists, anarchists and hippies now occupying Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan. As of Oct. 19, OWS had taken in a grand total of $435,000 from all sources, including donations made by individuals online and in person, according to reports.

...Alliance for Global Justice is a “fiscal sponsor,” which means that it serves as a financial clearinghouse for radical causes that haven’t filed papers to incorporate themselves as nonprofit organizations. Donors give money to the Alliance and are then able to deduct the donations from their income tax even though the cause they are funding isn’t recognized as tax-exempt by the IRS. Fiscal sponsors take a percentage of donations as management fees, and then pass on the rest to the cause favored by the donor.

I doubt the majority of the young protesters have any clue who is manipulating them.

Soros made $8 billion last year. He doesn't spend - he invests - in chaos. And then uses his hedge funds to cash in on the economic dislocations he has helped to create.

Maybe all these cities should send him the bills for the clean up, extra police and the amount the needy will be deprived of because they have to divert funds to this stupidity.

Re Soros: Will no one rid us of this turbulent pr***?

Or at least turn him over to the Malaysian or Thai police? They've been waiting fourteen years to ask him some questions.

George Soros (real name ‘Schwartz’) is 81 years old. I don’t care how much money he’s got, that stinkin’ sack o’ sh*t can’t live forever.

Don't forget the Wall Street brokers and the main stream media. They are all part of the Democrat Party, a/k/a Socialists , family.

This is one reason that what tey are doing does not pass the smell test. They is another reason that they are doing what they are doing.
