George Soros, the financier and philanthropist, has pledged $1bn to support a global network of higher education to train students in civic engagement in response to resurgent nationalism around the world.
In a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr Soros lambasted rising populism internationally and picked out US president Donald Trump as well as China’s Xi Jinping, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi — and Brexit.
“I believe that as a long-term strategy our best hope lies in access to quality education, specifically an education that reinforces the autonomy of the individual by cultivating critical thinking and emphasising academic freedom,” he said.
In remarks directed at the US leader who had been at Davos this week, Mr Soros went on: “President Trump is a conman and the ultimate narcissist who wants the world to revolve around him.
When his fantasy of becoming president came true, his narcissism developed a pathological dimension.” He said that Mr Xi had abolished a carefully developed system of collective leadership in China and became a dictator
as soon as he gained sufficient strength to do so. Meanwhile, Mr Modi was creating a Hindu nationalist state in India, Mr Soros said. Not leaving western Europe untouched, he said:
“The fight to prevent Brexit — harmful both to Britain and to the EU — ended in a crushing defeat.” Mr Soros said “the tide turned against open societies after the crash of 2008 because it constituted a failure of international co-operation.
This in turn led to the rise of nationalism, the great enemy of open society.” He said some signs of a turnround last year towards greater international co-operation had been “dashed [as] the strongest powers,
the US, China and Russia remained in the hands of would-be or actual dictators and the ranks of authoritarian rulers continued to grow”.
His Open Society Foundations organisation will now develop partnerships between leading universities, think tanks and cultural institutions in the west and those in more remote, poorer and less stable countries.
The fledgling network, to be called the Open Society University Network, builds upon the $32bn he has donated over the years to education and social causes. This included the creation of the Central European University,
which has now moved to Vienna after coming under strong pressure from Hungarian authorities, including visa restrictions on students and personal criticism of Mr Soros himself from the regime of prime minister Viktor Orban.
Alexander Soros, his son and deputy chairman of the Open Society Foundations, said: “The position of the Hungarian government to be the first since the end of World World Two to ban a university . . . sped things along.
Seeing the different ebbs and flows of change in economics, politics and society . . . [my father] realised education is the best way to ensure that the values he believes in can be renewed with each generation.”
The initiative will work with Bard College, New York, which has pioneered a system of supporting high school education for disadvantaged children in inner cities, and educational work in prisons, while offering college credits
that can be transferred and recognised by other institutions. Institutions that have already received funding or worked with Open Society will co-operate more closely, offer dual degrees, and work with Arizona State University, which has developed online and remote learning. Others include Sciences Po in Paris, London University’s Birkbeck and SOAS, the University of Central Asia in Kyrgyzstan, Ashesi University in Ghana, BRAC University in Bangladesh
and Fulbright University of Vietnam. The move will also involve the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs in New York, Chatham House in London, the Institute for New Economic Thinking in New York and Oxford,
the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen in Vienna, and the Rift Valley Institute in Kenya.
It’s okay to hate a guy like George Soros.
“It must hurt a lot to likely have Created the situations that led to Donald Trump being elected, among other Nationalists.”
Ironic!

What is there, about 230 D house members in congress?
I think maybe 27 are Jewish.
That leaves 203 powerful, prominent people who Aren’t Jewish but who Definitely have organized plans to destroyed the United States.
I think there’s 37 powerful people in the senate who have organized plans to destroy the United States. (that’s if one laughably thinks every R doesn’t have those same plans. I’m sure there’s a few).
That’s a lot of non Jewish folks in the US Congress who want America destroyed.
HUGE! AG Bill Barr Calls Out George Soros For Subverting Legal System and Causing “Increase in Violent Crime (12/21/2019)
The only reason this person is still alive is because neither God nor satan want any part of him.
Desperation...I like it...I hope his son, Alex is having stress-related issues, too.
There. Fixed it.
This guy was out in public and - you fill in the rest!!!!!
I can’t believe he thinks he has the right to lecture any person on this earth! What kind of organization would even allow him to participate? What a dumb question - anyone with money is welcome with their opinions, right?
That stinks! He stinks!
The man’s an evil plotter-who has destroyed countries and economies. Why he’s still free to spout his nonsense is a mystery.
Open societies? Open to what? Gangs like MS13, Jihadis, contagious diseases, people who want to destroy your country and people who do not want to assimilate.
The idea is stupid and demented. Soros is a sick man.
As a teenager?
A total lie on his part.
Personal Liberty is not something S0r0$ is in favor of for anyone but himself.
a global network of higher education to train students in civic engagement
Is this the start of the Brown Shirts?
“Mr Soros went on: “President Trump is a conman and the ultimate narcissist who wants the world to revolve around him.”
PURE PROJECTION!
Lizzy Warren should take her axe to Higher Edumacation salaries and extremely light work loads that drive outrageous tuition and student debt.
Some people just to want to watch the world burn. Soros is one of them. He is probably an atheist to boot. Little does he know....
Freeze his assets and use them to build the Wall. Send him to Hungary(?) or anywhere they want his neck in a noose.
Open Society = Nation States including the United States are a bad thing and we want to end them.
Because you can trust a world government /s

Open Society Foundations is definitely a Soros led effort to break down Governments in every country and replace it with a compliant one as part of his desire to bring it all under one roof. Clinton Foundation and many others are complicit in this in many countries as the vanguard of creating a One World Government
The fact that his little game as been knocked off track is a great sign that he will not roll over the world. I feel that Ukraine and others were in his sights for the same treatment as is the United States.
I know Glen Beck has had a bad rep in the past but I came across a video that he did and it explains the whole Open Societies plan and it is excellent and very informative
I am adding the link below, it is a bit long but then they have been working on turning the world into subservience for a very long time and they must be stopped

This nazi-commie would like nothing better than to be the incarnation of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, or Castro. He's just too ugly to garner any traction as a politician.
Reptiles live a long time.
