Elitist hypocrite George Soros makes a fool of himself in Davos
Fox News. com ^ | January 27, 2018 | Steve Hilton

Liberal billionaire George Soros grabbed headlines at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday by attacking internet giants Google and Facebook. Conveniently ignoring his own investment in these companies, Soros branded them a “menace to society.”

“They deliberately engineer addiction to the services they provide,” Soros said. “This can be very harmful, particularly for adolescents. There is a similarity between internet platforms and gambling companies. Casinos have developed techniques to hook gamblers to the point where they gamble away all their money, even money they don’t have. Something very harmful and maybe irreversible is happening to human attention in the digital age. Not just distraction or addiction: social media companies are inducing people to give up their autonomy.”

Well, Soros would know about gambling: after all, he made his billions, by gambling in the casino of the financial markets. It worked out great for him, turning him into a fabulously wealthy plutocrat afforded the platform to pontificate pompously to his fellow elitists at Davos, and to indulge his personal political predilections by throwing his money at liberal causes.

But let’s remember: it’s money he made off the backs of the poor and the working class. Soros’ gambling happens to have wrecked the lives of millions of working people, not least in the United Kingdom, where his manipulation of the currency markets in the early 1990s caused a deep recession and untold misery for millions.

Of course, whatever the hypocrisy, many will agree with Soro’s characterization of the threat from Big Tech. But it was when he turned his attention to the Trump administration that he really went off the rails.

If the Russians still have that warrant out for Soros, and he was outside the protection of the USA, WHY didn’t Russia grab him with the power of their warrant?????

Because Soros does enormous damage to the US so he is useful to Russia. If the intelligence community is as compromised as it seems to be that would explain why this is the evil prick hasn’t been taken out. In the good old days a G. Gordon Liddy type would have put a bullet in his brain box a long time ago.

If Pres. Truump said that, we'd be cheering, because it's true. Still, soros is in the running for the most despicable man on earth.

Russia is one of three other countries that have outstanding warrants for Soros...

Switzerland is a “neutral” country.

I’m starting to suspect that George Soros is a guy with a very unforgiving philosophy that is trying to destroy the West by using its tendency to be forgiving against it.

People gamble away their own money in the financial markets everyday. If people want to legally gamble away their own money it's no one else's business...Least of all a low life like Soros

Watch this 23 second video of George Soros speaking at Davos.

Just listen to that!

I swear, a Hollywood script writer could not come up with a more contemptible and evil character for a movie that George Soros. He sounds like a James Bond villain.

I think you missed my point, which was about the deleterious effects of googel and fbook, not gambling. Sorry if I was unclear.
