“Reuters on Thursday accidentally published prepared obituary for George Soros, billionaire philanthropist and legendary liberal bankroller.

“George Soros, enigmatic financier, liberal philanthropist dies at XX,” the article’s headline reads.

“George Soros, who died XXX at age XXX, was a predatory and hugely successful financier and investor, who argued paradoxically for years against the same sort of free-wheeling capitalism that made him billions,” it adds.

And while none of this in inaccurate, he’s, well, he’s not dead:”

What is this? a practice run?

Could be. No other stories on it. I’d say somebody at Reuters screwed up, and posted to internet instead of to file.

Probably that blonde they caught using white out on the ‘puter screen.

That obit is meant to be a whitewash.
For instance, they mention his surviving WWII without pointing out his collaboration with the Nazis in the final solution; how he helped loot the properties of Jews sent to Auschwitz.
You know, the best year of his life?

Soros must be dead.

Obama and Biden are already declaring a National State Of Mourning. Flags at half-staff.

A full honors funeral. Lying in State in the Capital Rotunda

You know.... the usual.
