The announcement that George Soros will commit $1 billion to create the Open Society University Network (OSUN) has flooded the mainstream media and the internet in the last several days. The announcement has attracted public attention and certainly deserves a closer look.
George Soros is a currency speculator with political ambitions. His goal is to remake the world. The idea of the “open society” goes back to the period of the Cold War when Karl Popper, a British philosopher, advanced it as a response to the Soviet threat. It has been largely neglected since then. George Soros has turned the open society into his personal ideological tool that he uses to realize his political ambitions. He has already spent over $32 billion of his money to achieve this goal and he is determined to continue pursuing his agenda.
George Soros and his organization -- Open Society Foundations (OSF) -- are very political in orientation. Soros himself characterizes his activities as “political philanthropy” -- a euphemistic term he uses for what we commonly call buying political influence. Politics comes first. All other ventures of the OSF, including educational ones, are directly related to politics.
There is some confusion in the rationale for creating OSUN. Soros himself is the source of this confusion. On one hand, he writes in his articles that the goal of OSUN is to help educate “young people and promote ‘personal autonomy.’” On the other hand, he also stresses that he wants to use education to “fight nationalism, climate change, and to promote the ideal of open society.” These two orientations are at cross-purposes. Fighting nationalism and climate change and promoting an “open society” are clearly political in their orientation.

That's been the goal since that famous day in The Garden of Eden.
Or should I say infamous?
They (we) already have that. God gave them (us) a spirit of self-control.
Soros could spend ALL his money on climate change & accomplish nothing worthwhile. He is not The One in control of it & I doubt will ever be.
32B trying to force the World to his way of thinking.
A fool and his Al Gore are soon parted.
Georgy's fondest memories involve concentration camps.
There is only one person in control of climate change and our lives. God. And Soros is not him!
Would the assets used on Suleimani the Magnificent been better spent on $0R0$?
Think about this...

NO “Civil Asset Forfeiture” for that degenerate POS.
Soros and his minions need to go away. Permanently.
An “open society” where personal liberty and free speech are not allowed.
Irony: The Mark of Quality Literature
“...It [Communism] is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The Communist vision is the vision of Man without God.
It is the vision of man's mind displacing God as the creative intelligence of the world. It is the vision of man's liberated mind, by the sole force of its rational intelligence, redirecting man's destiny and reorganizing man's life and the world. It is the vision of man, once more the central figure of the Creation, not because God made man in his image, but because man's mind makes him the most intelligent of the animals. Copernicus and his successors displaced man as the central fact of the universe by proving that the earth was not the central star of the universe. Communism restores man to his sovereignty by the simple method of denying God...”
And what is Soros besides the epitome of the worst of both the Nazis and the Communists?
Heh, heh.
That he did...:)
But your observation is spot on.
I was all of ten or eleven years old when Dad made me do my first book report The Naked Communist by W. Cleon Skousen as a condition to going to the movie Doctor Zhivago which came out that year. I was indignant that my sister, less than two years older, was old enough to take to that film, but I was not. So Dad handed me that book and said if I read it and wrote him a report, he would let me go as well. I did and he was true to his word.
He suggested WITNESS as a follow-up and I begin to read it. Then the weather got warm enough for baseball and I never finished. I was blessed with awesome parents.
SPJNK.
You really were, I admire that approach by your dad. I didn't read "Witness" until I was about 50 yrs old...
Funny. I saw Dr. Zhivago on a base theater when I was perhaps 10 or 11, and while it was interesting, it didn't have as much impact on me as the message that came across the crawl line at the top of the screen in the middle of the movie...that RFK had been shot.
I just re-watched the movie this past year for the first time, and enjoyed it. The scene where he comes back from the war and his house has been "appropriated" was powerful to me.
Some People Just Neeeeed...........Kicking?
Not quite, but close enough for FR.
