George Soros Warns Of Financial Collapse, Class Warfare And The Rise Of Evil

George Soros warns of financial collapse and class warfare in a chilling interview with Newsweek's John Alridge.

“At times like these, survival is the most important thing,” he says, peering through his owlish glasses and brushing wisps of gray hair off his forehead. He doesn’t just mean it’s time to protect your assets. He means it’s time to stave off disaster. As he sees it, the world faces one of the most dangerous periods of modern history—a period of “evil.” Europe is confronting a descent into chaos and conflict. In America he predicts riots on the streets that will lead to a brutal clampdown that will dramatically curtail civil liberties. The global economic system could even collapse altogether.

“I am not here to cheer you up. The situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career,” Soros tells Newsweek. “We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse. The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system.”

These days Soros is holding mostly cash -- he calls gold "the ultimate bubble -- along with European bonds he picked up in the MF Global firesale -- judge for yourself whether they were a cutthroat investment or altruistic support for Europe.

In Davos this week, expect Soros to give the counterpoint to Angela Merkel and Mario Draghi's optimism on the eurozone.

When will this self-hating anti-Semitic gasbag just go away and die? I don’t disagree with what he’s saying, but he’s saying it knowing full well that HE IS THE CAUSE OF IT!

I started saying, last summer, that it’s August of 1939, and September’s a comin’.

I believe it now more than ever, and that is before reading Soros’ words.

Yes, indeed, Georgie - both of which have been caused by you and your puppet, Obama.

Georgie may think he will survive such a collapse, but as they say, "Men make plans, and God laughs."

Glenn Beck just said he'll be covering this on his GBTV this evening.

Translation:

He is short the Euro and will make a bundle if it goes to parity.

This guy is a profiteer who makes his money from financial chaos by trying to destroy free market capitalism.

Soros warning about the rise of evil?

Bwahahahahahahaha.

Too bad society doesn’t require that buttholes like this actually have had to do useful things in the world before anyone has to listen to them.

Shove it up your very smelly, old, and hairy Obama, Soros.

George holds short positions on the US economy and he’s just minding his investments.

—“We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression.—

You know how WWI was called the “Great War” until WWII, at which point its name was appropriately changed? Well, since August I’ve started calling the “Great Depression” “World Depression I” or WDI, and I call our current situation WDII. And as with the two wars, it will be worse this time.

However, I think it will be a LOT worse, and it will almost certainly end in a “hot” WWIII. I’m a bit concerned that there is a lot of talk on the internet lately about nuclear war being survivable.

It’s easy to predict what you, yourself, cause.

Soros is the collapse of civilized civilization AND is the epitome of the evil that follows. His timing is intended to scare Democrat leeches that their free-ride will be over if a Republican is elected instead of his Messiah....if Soros wants to stop the carnage he should cut his own throat.

I agree, but I think there are multiple causes and many of them began before he was born. I see this as a hundred year storm and I believe it will be the greatest collapse since the dawn of man.

...The Rise Of Evil

--------------------------

Obama says abortion is important for daughters to fulfill their dreams.

pure-1

Obama in a statement released by the White House on Sunday, January 22, 2012 said: “As we mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade... we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”

So by killing babies it fulfills our daughter's dreams? He also said it reflects the broader principles of America. As a state lawmaker in Illinois, he voted four times against legislation to protect the life of a baby that survived a botched abortion.

Obama can only be described as "pure evil."

So now we know... 
'CHANGE' =
 ZERO Job Growth
 ZERO Pipelines
 MORE Food Stamps
 MORE Spending
 MORE Debt
 MORE Golf
 MORE Taxes 
 MORE Welfare 
 MORE Abortions
 MORE Regulation
 MORE Government 
 MORE Speeches
 MORE Money Printing
 MORE Vacations
 MORE Porkulus ('Recovery Summer' lost a net 329,000 jobs.)
 MORE Failure
 MORE Mumbo-jumbo
 LESS Coal
 LESS WOOD (Gibson Guitars Strung Up by Feds)

Countdown until Zer0 leaves Office: 362 days as of January 24, 2012.

But Obama is saying everything is peaches and cream!!

You mean the Puppet Master doesn’t agree with his puppet?

He’s probably thinking “how could I have bet all my money on such a dunce that the public can see right through?”

I think he sees the ‘winds of change’ coming in November and is trying to hedge his bets.
