The Soros Threat To Democracy
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Monday, September 24, 2007 4:20 PM PT
Democracy: George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire's backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word: transparency.
George Soros & MoveOn.org: Exclusive Series
How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely "NASA whistleblower" standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros' Open Society Institute , which gave him "legal and media advice"?
That's right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros' flagship "philanthropy," by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI's "politicization of science" program.
That may have meant that Hansen had media flacks help him get on the evening news to push his agenda and lawyers pressuring officials to let him spout his supposedly "censored" spiel for weeks in the name of advancing the global warming agenda.
Hansen even succeeded, with public pressure from his nightly news performances, in forcing NASA to change its media policies to his advantage. Had Hansen's OSI-funding been known, the public might have viewed the whole production differently. The outcome could have been different.
That's not the only case. Didn't the mainstream media report that 2006's vast immigration rallies across the country began as a spontaneous uprising of 2 million angry Mexican-flag waving illegal immigrants demanding U.S. citizenship in Los Angeles, egged on only by a local Spanish-language radio announcer?
Turns out that wasn't what happened, either.

George Soros, man has the courage of his convictions. On the firing line, well, a distance to the rear in a bunker.

"A large number of organizations owe their existence to the generosity of one of the richest men in America, Richard Mellon Scaife...Officials of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, acknowledged that Scaife is a far larger contributor than Joseph Coors, whose name has been the only one mentioned in most press reports on the group.
ReplyDeletedRat,
ReplyDeleteIf you read a little about Soros, you’d know how ironic your words are.
His conviction for insider trading in Europe was upheld, right? Why haven't we extradited the crooked, commie sonofabitch, yet?
ReplyDeleteHe’s much worse than a sonofabitch, Rufus. Much much worse.

Soros is an evil that has learned to make money from blood in the streets. And that’s the worst kind of evil.
