George Soros Is Weaving a Web to Destroy America

Human Events, a leading voice of American conservatism for 70 years, did a reader online poll recently. The result? Readers svoted billionaire financier George Soros “the single most destructive leftist demagogue in the country.” Human Events has made a list of the 10 key reasons George Soros is dangerous: 1. Gives billions to left-wing causes : Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 to channel his wealth to leftist-socialist causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to leftist groups, including ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, and Planned Parenthood. 2. Influence on US elections : Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.” He gave $23.58 million to IRS Code §527 tax-exempt political groups bent on defeating Bush. After failing, Soros began a search for a "chosen one," which led him to become an early financial supporter jump-starting Barack Obama’s political career. Soros hosted a 2004 Obama fund-raiser when he was running for the Illinois Senate, and he gave the maximum-allowed contribution hours after Obama announced that he was running for President, turning his back on the Clintons in the process. 3. Wants to curtail American sovereignty : Soros wants America to become subservient to international bodies. He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and a downsizing of the US role in the IMF to reduce US influence on the world stage. 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 left-leaning media watchdog group that blows up out of proportion any conservative view that makes it into the mainstream media. Its founder, David Brock, has declared war on Fox News, telling Politico that the group was mounting “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against Fox and would try to disrupt the commercial interests of owner Rupert Murdoch. Human Events points out that this is a questionable agenda for a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational foundation that is barred from partisan political activity. 5. MoveOn.org : Soros has been a major funder of MoveOn.org, a leftist advocacy group and political action committee that raises millions for liberal candidates. This is the group that put on its website an ad comparing President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler. 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 liberal talking points and policy positions for the Obama administration. According to Human Events, there has also been a revolving door between the White House and the Soros-funded CAP think tank, with Obama staffing his administration with many CAP officials. 7. Environmental extremism : Former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones and his far-left environmental agenda have been funded by Soros’ money at the Ella Baker Center, Green For All, CAP, 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. Human Events says that in its 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 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 - using the 1997 Asian financial crisis to attack Malaysia’s and Thailand's currencies through his trading activities. Long known as “The Man who Broke the Bank of England,” it was Soros who initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion Pounds Sterling, forcing the devaluation of the Pound and making a billion-dollar profit. 10. Delusions : Soros has repeatedly said that he sees himself as a messianic figure : “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” -- “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.” ~~~~~ George Soros is one of the world's wealthiest men, with a personal fortune of $7 billion and additional investments of another $11 billion or so. And George Soros, who many see as the bankroller of the Barack Obama political program, is using his billions to impose a radical agenda on America. His stable of pro-Left foundations distributes more than $400 million a year to causes ranging from underwriting left-leaning Democrat Party candidates to legalizing marijuana to advocating for euthanasia to imposing proportional voting under the guise of instant runoff voting to destroying the Constitution's presidential election process by illegally sidelining the Electoral College. ~~~~~ How did this happen? At a secret meeting in the summer of 2002, Soros, Morton Halperin, (director of Soros’ Open Society Institute), John Podesta (former Clinton White House chief of staff), Jeremy Rosner (former speech writer for Bill Clinton), Robert Boorstin (Democrat strategist and also former speech writer for Clinton) and Carl Pope (Democrat strategist and environmentalist) met to draft a plan to defeat President George W. Bush in the presidential election of 2004. Soros would spend $26 million of his own money in his failed mission to rid America of President Bush. It was through this effort however, that Soros created the “Shadow Party,” which would eventually become the Obama administration. And George Soros would become the master who seems to be calling the shots for Obama, President of the United States and leader of the free world. Without Soros and the Shadow Party, Barack Obama probably still be a Senator from Illinois, a friend of Chicago domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and black liberation theologist the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, or at worst, an unheard of Illinois state senator from Chicago. Instead, Barack Obama is President. On July 7, 2003, Soros, Halperin, Podesta and Harold Ickes, (deputy chief of staff for the Clinton White House and money man) founded the American Majority Institute to be the cornerstone organization of the Shadow Party. A few months later, they changed the name to the Center for American Progress (CAP), under which it is still known. CAP describes itself as “a nonpartisan research and educational institute” aimed at “developing a long-term vision of a progressive America” and “providing a forum to generate new progressive ideas and policy proposals.” The truth is more like this : CAP is a leftist “think/action tank,” the nerve center of the Left’s attack on American values and on conservatives, and the primary source of Barack Obama’s positions. From 2003 to 2007, CAP received over $15 million in grants from more than 60 foundations, with the biggest contributor being George Soros, who gave the first $3 million. Today, they have over 180 staff members and an annual budget of $27 million. It is most interesting that one of the attendees at the meeting in 2002 is now CAP president - John Podesta, former Clinton White House chief of staff and one of the three architects of the Obama transition team. During Clinton’s first term in office, Podesta was White House staff secretary and assistant to President Clinton. Clinton brought Podesta back to the White House when the Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky affairs exploded, leading to Clinton's impending impeachment and threatening his presidency. Podesta undoubtedly saved Clinton. Now, Podesta, Soros' CAP chief, is heading Obama's NSA data inquiry and environment initiatives, as well as leading Obama's aggressive strategy of government-by-regulation. Podesta is also helping UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon with plans to bind all 193 UN members to new "transformational" worldwide economic-social-environmental systems. ~~~~~ Tomorrow, dear readers, we'll discuss why George Soros'attack on America would completely destroy it.
