Myanmar Regime Seizes Bank Accounts of Soros' Open Society Foundation

The military regime has seized control of the bank accounts
of billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundation (OSF) in Myanmar
and announced that it will take legal action against the foundation,
which is accused of violating restrictions on the activities of such organizations.

On Monday, military-controlled MRTV announced that the military had
issued arrest warrants for 11 staff members of OSF Myanmar,
including its head and deputy head, on suspicion of giving financial support
to the civil disobedience movement against the military junta.

The regime also claimed that the world’s largest private funder for justice,
democratic governance and human rights had failed to obtain approval
from the Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM)’s Foreign Exchange Management Department for a deposit
of US$5 million (7.04 billion kyats) with the
Small and Medium Enterprise Development Bank (SMED) in Myanmar in 2018.

The foundation is also accused of illegally withdrawing $1.4 million

Sometimes when you screw up and say something you shouldn’t, a retraction helps to set things right. I’m just sayin’.

“Hello, Myanmar Military...”

“Yes! This is America calling. Our military no longer cares about protecting against enemies foreign and domestic. They are making nice maternity flight suits though.

“I’d like to place a to go order.”

Myanmar seems to be a picture of where the US could be in 5-10 years with respect to China.

#35. The real question is, if the military is serious about looking into Soros’ financial operations in Burman, then they have to seize all the OSI/Fd bank accounts, esp. those with electronic transfer mechanisms.

We should be asking to see those accounts to see how Soros operates around the world via 3rd World Country financial systems.

I’m sure the Red Chinese have fingerprints in the unrest so we either have to have them chopped off or at least contained, and this means learning as much about Soros as any thing else.

Soros is the most dangerous man in America though Jeff Bezos, Tom Steyer, Michael Blumberg, Bill Gates and other rich, white millionaires and billionaires are nipping at his heels.

However, Soros is an international Marxist “existential threat” to our freedom and that of other countries, while all the other nuts, leftists and fascists want is to rule America until they make “The World Is Not Enough - Part II”.

Soros ties to worldwide communism go back to the Spanish Civil War though he helped the Germans seize Jewish properties in his native Hungary during WW2. That is why we give him the highest insult any Jew can give to another one, that of “KAPO” (Nazi collaborator).

After a brief period of trying to help Jewish institutions and charities in the late 40’s/50’s, Soros went to the Marxist/Blofeld Left and never turned back.

Just look at the records of his “Fellows”, Open Society organization leaders, etc. and you will see some of the most anti-American/Marxists around - Van Jones, Morton Halperin, Robert “Bob” Borosage etc.

CORRECTION. Soros was not involved in the Spanish Civil War. That was another RED KAPO, Samuel Rubin and his money/foundations and support for Communist Party USA and Hanoi front operations (his daughter is Cora Weiss, Miss Hanoi, and her husband is German refugee Peter Weiss, a longtime CPUSA fronts legal person and also part of the Hanoi Lobby).

Soros became a KAPO when he was a teenager in Hungary. Rubin became a world player for a lot of causes in the 1930’s due to his business acumen, but he preferred the communists in the end.
