You’re right that there can be a tremendous return to corruption. A couple of examples are the Clinton Foundation’s direction of funds in Haiti, or the way Obama put a big political bundler who had $70 million invested in Solyndra ahead of the US government in liquidation recovery. I’m sure we could come up with dozens more. Oh, here’s one: Biden’t son has profited immensely by selling Slow Joe’s influence.
So, I was thinking about the idea of the expected return on a governmental bribe. It varies a lot, but it can be very large, as you noted. For example, the DNC gave Perkins Coie $9 million (or some say $12 mm), of which $1 million wound up with Fusion GPS, who paid Steele only $168,000. I mentioned this to one of my sons, and he said, “Dad, do you know about trophic level efficency? On average its only 10%.”
So, I looked up trophic levels, which are the classification of who eats who eats what in ecology. The idea is that only 10 % of the energy consumed winds up being converted to physical substance (meat, flesh). The rest is used up in metabolism involved with walking around, hunting, grazing, etc. So the 10X leverage figure on the bribe seems to fit right in.
That's not how you spell 'face'.
You meant can’t we ‘extradite’ him to someplace that wants him bad? He’s a US Citizen so can’t be deported unless citizenship is first revoked.
Soros is also a conduit for ECB and BIS. Take him down, and another will pop up in his place to resume the subversion.

why the FBI and the CIA don’t arrest George Soros and his NWO overlords; reasonably obvious that the FBI and the CIA serves them over and above any service they provide to the security of US citizens. If it were a country doing the same thing to the US that Soros is doing, the US would be hard pressed not to view it as an act of war.
Agreed. But I think he’s stepped it up a notched, getting involved with many of the smaller off year elections.
That cracked my phone screen!
Sowry
Seize his assets, and apply to the national debt.
Internationally I believe there are multiple extremely wealthy participants in the globalist ideology if we want to call what we often reference as the left “globalist ideology”. These wealthy “participants” aren’t inclined to the notoriety of their political positions as is say George Soros, therefore are pleased to remain behind the curtain contributing monetarily to the various, and assorted sham organizations funded under the guise of the Soros name alone.
Soros is a legal participant in the politics of this nation whereas the International “participants” are not. It would seem to me these International “participants” should not be lawfully able to channel their globalist ideologies through an affront such as Mr. Soros.
Soros is an enemy within holding open the door for contributing International enemies of our sovereignty, our constitution to invade directly at the heart, of our governance.
It should not be.
Cunt
Correct, sir!
lol
Surely there are grounds for elimination, with extreme prejudice, of this treasonous a$$ clown. Will no one rid us of this clear and present danger?
And his son.
Well then, she’s getting $25k for making a political statement. Sounds about right and it’s chump change for soros. It’s still interference in US policy though.
Is that Graham behind Schumer’s coattails, holding on to Pelosi’s skirt??
Very interesting.
Gads...who allowed this crook citizenship?
I don’t want to deport him. I want to see him in prison for life. True evil.
