Here are the Top 10 Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous:
1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros is the founder of the Open Society Institute. Founded in 1993 for the purpose of spreading his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to far too many left-wing groups it's almost impossible to list them all. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money is just the tip of the iceberg: 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. He as enormous influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the central focus of his life. He funded various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush to the tune of $23.58 million dollars. He, early on in Obamas' 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 under the control of 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. 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. 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, (funded by Soros) 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. Podesta may be running Hillary Clintons campaign for President.
7. 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.
President Barack Obama and billionaire liberal George Soros are working together to take the capitalist free market system out of the energy industry.
WND reports that new EPA rules for power plants would drive the cost of energy production so high than many companies would be forced out of business, all without congressional approval. And that’s only the beginning, according to Tom DeWeese of the American Policy Center.
DeWeese said that efforts to push through the massive new regulations — 645 pages of them — are backed bySoros and other well-heeled liberals. But it’s not about climate change, despite what they may say. “It’s about control,” DeWeese argued.
He said that no matter how much money the energy industry invests to cut back on pollution or clean up the environment, liberals says it’s not enough. In fact, he said, despite the fact that well over a trillion dollars had been spent to address environmental concerns, “the way these groups talk you’d think we never spent a penny.”
“The truth is,” he said, “it’s not about pollution. It’s about control. This is nothing but a show because they are frustrated that the facts are coming out [about climate change], and there is no truth to what they are saying.”
As evidence, DeWeese cites a 3-year-old article in which climate change activist Naomi Klein explained that skeptics who see a threat to the capitalist system in global warming claims are right.
She said that the development of “real climate solutions” will require nothing less than “shredding the free-market ideology” that currently drives energy, agriculture, and transportation — three tremendously important segments of the economy.
“So when [climate change skeptics] react to evidence of human-induced climate change as if capitalism itself were coming under threat, it’s not because they are paranoid,” she added. “It’s because they are paying attention.”
“That is the root of this entire fight, which is to change our entire system,” DeWeese concluded.
The fact that energy production, transportation, and agriculture make up relatively small percentages of the American GDP means little in this context. Any group that controls these three vital areas controls not only the economy, but the population.
The free market system is imperfect, without question — everything is. But government intervention in the name of environmentalism or any other cause cannot make it better, only worse. All government intervention can accomplish — all it ever has accomplished, on this scale — is the erosion of personal liberty that the Founders wrote the Constitution to protect.
