George Soros on the Coming U.S. Class War
DailyBeast/Newsweek ^ | January 23, 2012 | John Arlidge

Posted on 01/23/2012 4:18:20 PM PST by Seizethecarp

While Soros, whose new book, Financial Turmoil in Europe and the United States, will be published in early February, is currently focused on Europe, he’s quick to claim that economic and social divisions in the U.S. will deepen, too. He sympathizes with the Occupy movement, which articulates a widespread disillusionment with capitalism that he shares. People “have reason to be frustrated and angry” at the cost of rescuing the banking system, a cost largely borne by taxpayers rather than shareholders or bondholders.

Occupy Wall Street “is an inchoate, leaderless manifestation of protest,” but it will grow. It has “put on the agenda issues that the institutional left has failed to put on the agenda for a quarter of a century.” He reaches for analysis, produced by the political blog ThinkProgress.org, that shows how the Occupy movement has pushed issues of unemployment up the agenda of major news organizations, including MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News.

As anger rises, riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable. “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”

Wow. A multi-billionaire sympathizing with OWS. Soros is the puppetmaster behind the destruction of our once great country. He vowed, during the impeachment of the Sink Emperor, to bring down the American dollar. His disciple is doing his best to ruin America. I'd like to see a picture of Soros, ala Alfred E Neumann, saying ‘What, me worry? And for good measure a pic of Obama as Nero, fiddling while this country fades away. Heartbreaking. Our Greatest Generation did not sacrifice for this end to the American Dream.

George Soros would know all about a coming class war.

He'll be the one organizing it and financing it and renting the mobs who will carry out the war.

Any disillusionment I feel toward capitalism was caused by people like George Soros. He's not a free market guy. He makes large bets and then manipulates the outcomes. He's like Arnold Rothstein bribing the White Sox to throw the World Series and then betting against them. Only Rothstein would have had enough class to avoid walking up to the "Say It Ain't So" kid and telling him that he shares his disillusionment.

Exactly. Remember the James Bond villain who was fomenting war between East and West to sell papers and TV shows? Same thing.

Correction:

He IS the one organizing it and financing it and renting the mobs who ARE carrying out the liberal agenda (OWS, Tides Foundation, MoveOn.org, ad infinitum).

To wit, re-read the third paragraph from the article:

“As anger rises, riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable. “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”

George Soros makes no attempt to hide what he is doing and what he hopes will happen. He is a meglamaniacal billionaire lunatic nutjob.

Dark times are on the horizon. Everything is going as George planned.

Anyone who really believes that the 99% OWie fleabaggers are “leaderless” might want to lighten up on the recreational drugs for a while.

Mr. Soros will learn the lesson that Cuba and the USSR learned and that Venezuela and Iran are now learning: funding a revolution is a ruinously expensive proposition and it’s a difficult tiger to dismount. Best of luck, Georgie, but remember - one of those rich guys the mob will come after is staring back at you in your mirror.

Once this scum goes to meet his master in hell, it will be utterly orgasmic schadenfreude if the Israeli government goes to the world court and takes all his money as reparations for the holocaust in Hungary.

Yes, that is a real mystery. Could it be that old George has an impregnable personal defense operation surrounding him? He certainly can afford the very best, one would presume.

Freedom is more than a tradition in the United States,

George S0ros on the Coming U.S. Class War

As anger rises, riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable. - “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”

S0ros: “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.

Thanks Jack Black.
