That does not mean that Soros is equivalent to the president, unless Aa
knows something we don't. I seriously doubt it, though.

I took it to mean that Aaron thinks Soros is one of Biden's string pullers. I also took it to mean because Soros is rich. I didn't read into it, or see anything about, his religion.

That's the insidiousness of it. Of course religion isn't mentioned out loud.

Since he is rich, and uses his money to influence politicians and
elections, unless they are mentioning his religion, he is fair game just
like any other rich person that does the same.

Then where is the mention of other rich donors? Surely Soros isn't the only one. But sure, blame it on the Jewish guy.

Pretty sure I have seen others bring up Bill Gates. I also don't know his religion so you could have me there again. OTOH, even Israel complains
about Soros.

You seem to be the only one here fixated on his religion.

It's the typical "Jews rule the country/world" anti-Semitic trope, even if
the brainwashed don't realize it.

My main problem with George Soros is that he's funding campaigns for district attorneys who refuse to prosecute. That bothers me. I also don't like how he's
invested in 18 hispanic radio stations in an attempt to subjugate some of the 1.8 million+ illegal immigrants who have entered the country since Joe took office.

It has been reported that the one DA that got recalled in SF was a
recepient of his money, and apparently said DA was even underperforming
below typical left-leaning standards.

What business is Soros in? Maybe he is in radio and wants more stations?

It seems odd that he would only target hispanic stations, though.

That's a good question. I can't say for sure, but I think it's the "ruling of the world" industry.

Are you sure that "odd" is the word for it? I call it highly suspicious timing.

It's also highly suspicious why we've got an unprecedented number of DAs behaving like this.

Radio stations are propagation tools. (Add that to the suspicious list!)

He is a hedge-funder. In 1992, his short sale of US$10 Billion of pounds sterling caused the Black Wednesday UK currency crisis, which is where
the nickname "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" comes from. (The Telegraph, September, 2002). Black Wednesday is estimated to have cost the
UK Treasury 3.4 Billion pounds. He is also believed to have traded billions
of Finnish markkas (unit of money) in 1996 in anticipation of selling them short, in an attempt to make money off of a 1990's Finnish economic
depression. The Finnish government and bank have stated that they do not believe that such a feat is possible, but have apparently never confirmed publically if it happened or not. (Helsingin Sanomat, February, 1996).

In June, 2006, Soros was convicted by the French Supreme Court for insider trading involving some knowledge he had that a group of shareholders was planning a takeover of a leading French Bank and, with that knowledge,
moved forward with accumulating shares in that bank and three other French companies. Soros appealed to the European Court of Human Rights and the conviction was upheld on the grounds that Soros had been aware of the
risk of breaking insider trading laws (Bloomberg LP, October, 2011).

Soros also formulated the General Theory of Reflexivity for capital markets which gives a picture of value discrepancies that can be used to, among
other things, short stocks (Open Society Foundation, October, 2010).

In 1999, economist Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize winner in Economic Science,
was critical of George's effect on financial markets, coining the term
"Soroi" as a proposed name for persons who "not only move money in
anticipation of a currency crisis, but actually do their best to trigger
that crisis for fun and profit."

Soros also sometimes gets credit for influencing the collapse of communism
in Eastern Europe, per an article in the July 1993 edition of The Atlantic.

Interesting that he "doesn't have that much power" to influence things, per readers here but, in 1993, The Atlantic (which is not known for being a conservative publication) thought otherwise. If true, it improves his
stock some in my eyes since I think so little of communism, although it also proves that he can influence to the point of causing governments to fall.

While in college in London in the 1940's, George often lectured on the the virtures of globalism (Belfast Telegraph, February, 2018). Since 2012,
Soros has been labelled an "enemy of the state" in his home country of
Hungary.

Because he supports progressive and liberal causes through his Open Society Foundation, he gets a pass from most self-proclaimed progressives,
globalist, and other leftists when it comes to being a hedge-funder, *convicted* insider trader, and stock-shorter.

James Kirchick, a Jewish American conservative reporter, has alleged that
some progressives view all criticism of Soros as antisemitic and that such claims are often made "entirely in bad faith," when, for example, they
claim that stating the observable fact that Soros has backed several US DAs
is an attack on Soros for being Jewish and not for his political views
(Tablet, August, 2022). We will circle back to this in a minute.

It seems odd that he would only target hispanic stations, though.

His funds, in past, have invested in political campaigns, causes, and objectives, but they have also invested in such benign things as a hotel
chain in Argentina.

It's also highly suspicious why we've got an unprecedented number of DAs behaving like this.

In 2004, Soros became involved in investing in US politics. He donated
over $23 million to tax exempt groups that were aiming to defeat the re-election campaign of George W. Bush. After that unsuccessful
investment, he began investing in a fundraising group called the Democracy Alliance, which supports progressive causes and the formation of a stronger progressive infrastructure (The Washington Post, October, 2006).

In 2012, he donated $1 million to the super PAC backing the re-election of Obama (New York Times, May, 2013). In 2013, he became the co-chairman of a super PAC national finance committee - Ready for Hillary (Politico,
November, 2013). In 2015, he donated $1 million to the Super PAC supporting HRC's 2016 presidential campaign. By August, 2016, he had donated an additional $8.5 million (OpenSecrets, October, 2020). For the 2020
election cycle, he launched a Super PAC, called Democracy PAC, and donated
$5.1 million to it (Politico, June, 2020).

During 2020, Soros gave at least $500,000 to the Biden campaign, becoming
one of their largest donors (New York Times, July, 2020).

Since 2016, Soros has been donating unprecidented sums in excess of $1 million to the campaigns of progressive DA candidates, through the Safety and
Justice PAC (Politico, May, 2020; LA Times, June, 2020). He has donated in excess of $1 million each to campaigns in Philadelphia (Krasner, 2017 --
Wall Street Journal, June 2020), Los Angeles (Gascon, 2020 -- LA Times, November 2020), and Chicago (Foxx, 2020 -- Chicago Sun-Times, February,
2020) -- all successful.

Radio stations are propagation tools. (Add that to the suspicious list!)

They can indeed be used for propaganda. There used to be an old saying
that, when one country invades another, one of the first things they look
to take control over is the broadcast airwaves.

I take it back, he's not "pissing away money" on campaigns, he's investing in an even bigger campaign, that being the campaign to dismantle democracy in the USA.

Somebody claiming antisemitism over this George thing "entirely in bad faith" sounds familiar!

Let's all make sure that we don't stay at those hotels. Mr Waternoose probably has hidden cameras under the toilet seats.

This story threw me off. I've always assumed that GWB and Soros were buds of some sort.

During 2020, Soros gave at least $500,000 to the Biden campaign, becoming one of their largest donors (New York Times, July, 2020).

This report sounds modest. I thought he donated millions to Obama and to Biden.

Thanks for that tragic dose of reality, because those airwaves are completely under leftist control already.
