Video

From time to time questions come up about George Soros.  And some believe that he is behind political unrest, pulling the strings...

This video goes a long way to explain why a left-leaning billionaire upsets people, while many right-leaning billionaires who fund their own pet causes (such as the Republican party, who takes healthcare away fro working people) are lauded.

Soros is mentioned by SO many of the marginal posts on MLW that I had to watch this video.  It's quite hilarious how much he is demonized.

The marginal posts are by cranks and lunatics. In fact, even a mention of Soros as being to blame for anything is pretty much enough for me to dismiss the poster as someone with a few screws loose.

As opposed to Warren Buffett (another left-leaning trader) or Bill Gates (another left-leaning entrepreneur), Soros made his first billion in a very risky, rent-seeking move against the British pound: Black Wednesday

By his wise investments, Buffett is wealthy and has made many other people wealthy too. By his choice of projects, Gates is wealthy and has made many other people better off.

I reckon that Soros largely became wealthy in the same way a gambler wins at a casino: through a zero-sum game. I generally ignore anything Soros has to say unless it refers to how he survived the Hungarian deportation of 1944.

Are there any Canadian billionaires trying to save the world one dollar at a time ?

Perhaps George Soros could teach them the power of money.

Easy come, easy lose.

Surely Donald Trump/Bernie Sanders has shown both the left (the Clintons) and the right (the Bushes) and even the ordinary folk (Obama), that you don't need money to influence people/win elections - if you have star appeal.

Indeed, Jeb! and Malcolm Forbes show that money can't buy votes.

I've heard  that there's  been an arrest warrant out for Sorso and his son and that Clinton, she wear an ankle bracelet, because she under arrest too.  As far as Soros goes, How can anyone he trusted, when during the WW2, Sorso being a Jew, turned against his own people and helped the Germans? That says it all what kind of person this guy is.

Yes, this ankle bracelet nonsense is the latest meme from the conspiracy set.  Any picture of someone they don't like that shows a crease in the fabric of their pants cuff links s an ankle bracelet.

Your sources are garbage, Topaz.  You are reading the National Enquirer of politics.  Please don't vote if you follow make believe news.

It makes me sad that you have fallen into this, and makes me worried about my own parents.

You 'heard' this where? Were you possibly in the kitchen making toast? Was tinfoil involved?

Well, I may have to retract this somewhat. This is the first credible person I've heard making any credible claims about Soros.

These appear to be claims about his positions, which has always been fair game.   The conspiracy set actually avoids discussing his positions, and instead attributes him with a secret agenda, but on a Bond-villain global scale.

Michael, how about if we  let George speak with his own words...he admits he sold out the Jewish people  in WW2  and took their property                                                     https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=George+Soros+Nazi+Collaborator&Form=VQFRVP

Here you go Topaz

You are being duped by fake news again.  I had to speak to my own dad when he was falling for these stories.

 

Give it a good read.
