Billionaire George
Soros is a detriment to our American society. He is a wealthy anarchist who pays groups, e.g., Black Lives
Matter and many others, to act violently here and abroad to get what he wants.
He wants to grind the US into dust.
Top 10 Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous
Human Events’ readers, in an online poll, recently voted billionaire financier
George Soros “the
single most destructive leftist demagogue in the country.” Here are the
Top 10 Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous:
1. Gives billions to left-wing
causes: Soros started the Open
Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes.
Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s
who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says
it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides
Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law
Center,
Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National
Organization for Women.
2. Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that removing President George W.
Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.” He put his money
where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to
defeating Bush. His early financial support helped jump-start Barack Obama’s
political career. Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Obama when he was running
for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours
of Obama’s announcement that he was running for President.
3. Wants to curtail American
sovereignty: Soros would like
nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies.
He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary
Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be “downsized.” In
1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state
boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law
and international institutions.”
4. Media Matters: Soros is a financial backer of Media Matters for
America, a progressive media watchdog group that hyperventilates over any
conservative view that makes it into the mainstream media. Now its founder,
David Brock, has openly declared war on Fox News, telling Politico that the group was mounting “guerrilla
warfare and sabotage” against the cable news channel, and would try to disrupt
the commercial interests of owner Rupert Murdoch—an odd mission for a 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt educational foundation that is barred from participating in partisan
political activity.
5. MoveOn.org: Soros has been a major funder of MoveOn.org, a
progressive advocacy group and political action committee that raises millions
for liberal candidates. This is the group that had on its website an ad
comparing President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler and ran the infamous “General
Betray Us” ad in the New York Times, disparaging the integrity of Gen. David
Petraeus.
6. Center for American
Progress: Headed by John Podesta, White
House chief of staff under President Clinton, the Center for American Progress
has been instrumental in providing progressive talking points and policy
positions for the Obama administration. There has also been a revolving door
between the White House and the Soros-funded think tank, with Obama staffing his
administration with many CAP officials.
7. Environmental extremism: Former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones and his
leftist environmental ideas have been funded by Soros’ money at these groups:
the Ella Baker Center, Green For All, the Center for American Progress, and the
Apollo Alliance, which was instrumental in getting $110 billion in green
initiatives included in Obama’s stimulus package. Soros also funds the Climate
Policy Initiative to address global warming and gave Friends of the Earth money
to “integrate a climate equity perspective in the presidential
transition.”
8. America Coming Together: Soros gave nearly $20 million to this 527 group with
the express purpose of defeating President Bush. A massive get-out-the-vote
effort, ACT’s door-to-door canvassing teams included numerous felons, its voter
registration drives were riddled with fraud, and it handed out incendiary fliers
and made misleading taped phone calls to voters. ACT was fined $775,000 by the
Federal Election Commission for violations of various federal campaign finance
laws.
9. Currency manipulation: A large part of Soros’ multibillion-dollar fortune
has come from manipulating currencies. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis,
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused him of bringing down the
nation’s currency through his trading activities, and in Thailand he was called
an “economic war criminal.” Known as “The Man who Broke the Bank of England,”
Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling,
forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar
profit.
10. Delusions: Soros has repeatedly said that he sees himself as a
messianic figure. Who but a megalomaniac would make these comments? “I admit
that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of my self-importance—to put it
bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god” or “I carried some rather potent
messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control,
otherwise I might end up in the loony bin.” If only the loony bin were an
option. As it is, one of the wealthiest men in the world is using his billions
to impose a radical agenda on America.
