George Soros has been called a God-hating atheist, a self-hating Jew, acapitalism-hating socialist, and an

America-hating globalist. That is just thebeginning. He supports euthanasia, legaliz-ing drugs, socialism, and global governance.He opposes free enterprise (even thoughthat is how he gained his wealth), Israel(even though he is Jewish), and U.S. sover-eignty. He describes himself as leaningtowards Marxism.

Soros learned how to manipulate peopleand events early in life (see “Early Child-hood” sidebar). His actions are destructive,yet he admits he feels no remorse.He claims to believe he is actuallyhelping the people he harmsbecause he is punishing the evilgovernment that created theirpoverty. He funds hundreds ofprogressive (see “Progressive Ideol-ogy” sidebar) activist organiza-tions and has stated publicly thathe has messianic tendencies.

With a net worth estimated at$11 billion, Soros is worth morethan the gross domestic product ofthree-quarters of all nations in theworld. He helped to bring downthe Russian government in the late1990s. He is famously known as “the manwho broke the Bank of England” by shortingthe British pound in October 1992. Theinternational banking community now callsit Black Wednesday. Soros brags about mak-ing a billion or more dollars by crashing theBank of England, and says it is fun to bringdown entire nations that he labels repressive,based on his “Marxist ideology.” He evenchuckled about it in an April 10, 2008, inter-view with TV talk-show host Charlie Rose.

Soros was accused of collapsing thenational currency of Malaysia in 1997. Yearslater Soros denied this, but at the time it wasreported he had casually justified his actionsby saying that if he hadn’t speculated with theMalaysian currency, someone else would have.

Soros wants to devalue the dollar and see

it replaced as the world’s reserve currencywith a new currency system. In the Roseinterview, Soros referred to the reserve statusof the dollar in the past tense, as if its demisewas already a done deal. He told the FinancialTimes in October 2009 that “an orderlydecline of the dollar is actually desirable,”even though Americans would suffer if itwere to happen. The U.S. dollar did indeedbegin to decline again in 2010 after a briefincrease in 2008-2009, although it is doubtfulSoros had much to do with it.

If the world no longer used the dollar asthe world reserve currency, the demand for

dollars would evaporate and there would be aglut of dollars in the world. Its value wouldplummet and result in high inflation or,worse, hyperinflation. If the latter happened,Americans would have to carry their moneyin wheelbarrows as happened in the WeimarRepublic after World War I. That economicturmoil provided the catalyst for AdolfHitler’s rise to power in Germany.

The resulting crash would make theGreat Depression seem like a minor econom-ic problem. It is exactly what Soros has beenforecasting. In a January 2012 interview withNewsweek, he said: “We are facing anextremely difficult time, comparable in manyways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. Weare facing now a general retrenchment in thedeveloped world, which threatens to put us

in a decade of more stagnation, or worse.” Hewent on to say: “The best-case scenario is adeflationary environment. The worst-casescenario is a collapse of the financial system.”

Deflation is highly unlikely, however, withthe multiple trillions of dollars and euros theU.S. Federal Reserve and European CentralBank are now printing out of thin air. In theRose interview, Soros even implied that, “thestatus of the dollar as the reserve currency isnow in doubt because willingness to holddollars is now reduced.” And in his 10thbook, “Financial Turmoil in Europe and theUnited States,” Soros wrote that the global

flight from the weakened dollarwill have “far-reaching politicalconsequences and raise thespecter of a breakdown in theprevailing world order.”

It is unlikely that Soros couldcollapse the dollar by himself.Nonetheless, he has consistentlyshown that he can take advan-tage of economic instability tomake billions, while causing thecollapse of whatever currencyhe attacks. And, right now, Sorosisn’t the only one calling for thedemise of the dollar as theworld’s reserve currency. During

his U.S. visit the week of Jan. 24, 2011, Chi-nese President Hu said that the U.S. dollarshould no longer be used as the world’sreserve currency because of America’s grow-ing debt.

China now appears to be trying to makethat happen. Although little has been said inthe media, China is now attacking the U.S.dollar by buying as much of the world’s gold(and gold mines) as possible to back up theyuan. It is obvious to a growing number ofrespected financial analysts that the likelyoutcome of China’s attempt to corner themarket on gold is to weaken, then replace theU.S. dollar with its own yuan as the world’sreserve currency.

China’s attack on the dollar is in playright now but will take years to accomplish,

SOROS THE DESTROYERFor decades, multibillionaire George Soros has been quietly bringing down world governments.

He is now targeting the United States.

Soros wrote that the global flight from the weakened

dollar will have “far-reaching political consequences and raise the specter of

a breakdown in the prevailing world order.”

and much can happen along the way. Thequestion is what Soros will do to take advan-tage of it. The only thing the Federal Reserveknows how to do in recent years is to printmore dollars—trillions of them. That, ofcourse, will weaken the dollar further toattack by China or Soros or both.

Soros has admitted that he has historical-ly brought down nations and currencies bydestabilizing the nation, currency or bothusing his vast army of nongovernmentalorganizations (NGOs) as a “shadow govern-ment” to create what he calls “subversiveactivities.” This is the same strategy used bythe Marxists to spread communism sinceWorld War I.

More recently, radical socialists RichardCloward and Frances Piven at ColumbiaUniversity went even further by articulatingthis strategy in a 1966 article, “The Weight ofthe Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty,” in TheNation. Saul Alinsky expanded the strategyeven more by writing “Rules for Radicals,”which he dedicated to Lucifer.

Now known as the Cloward-Piven Strate-gy, it took off like wildfire after the 1960samong the progressive liberals. Cloward andPiven and Alinsky called for creating a mas-sive movement to force the rest of society todo what they demand and accept their agen-da—the collapse of capitalism. It is the strate-gy that has been used in almost allcivil-unrest activities since the early 1970s.The strategy was used effectively in New YorkCity, causing it to declare bankruptcy in 1975.It is the same strategy being used right nowby numerous Soros-funded NGOs. One ofthose efforts was Occupy Wall Street (OWS).

The mainstream media’s portrayal ofOWS was nothing more than a disorganizedgroup of grassroots people who were dissatis-fied with bankers and the rich. While mostprotesters looked disorganized and didn’thave a clue why they were participating,OWS was, in fact, well funded and coordinat-ed to give that very appearance. Some of themoney came from thousands of smalldonors, but Soros funded OWS’s organiza-tion through a host of radical NGOs.

The Tides Foundation and the Alliancefor Global Justice were the primary conduits.Soros has given Tides Foundation more than$24 million since 1998 for radical activism,and $3.5 million between 2007 and 2009alone. Adbusters Media Foundation was thefront organization for OWS. Adbusters is aCanadian NGO and publishes an ad-freeanti-consumer magazine. It also published a

full-color newspaper for OWS.Television- and radio-host Glenn Beck

did a series of programs on Soros to exposethe network of anti-American NGOs hefunded or manipulated. Beck’s researchfound that Soros even funds media groupslike the liberal Huffington Post and NationalPublic Radio. In late 2010, Soros donated amillion dollars to the leftist Media Matters toattack Fox News in general and Glenn Beck inparticular by targeting their advertisers. Many

observers believe these attacks eventuallyforced Fox to terminate Beck’s contract insummer 2011. Media Matters also takes creditfor the firing of Lou Dobbs from CNN.

Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller discoveredthat “Media Matters has been in regular con-tact with political operatives in the Obamaadministration. According to visitor logs, onJune 16, 2010, [Media Matters founder andhead David] Brock and then-Media Matterspresident Eric Burns traveled to the White

House for a meeting with Valerie Jarrett,arguably the president’s closest adviser....Media Matters also began a weekly strategycall with the White House.” These weeklyconferences continue today. This is strongevidence that the White House is activelysupporting efforts to destroy Obama’s critics.It is as explosive as Watergate; yet, the main-stream media barely mentioned it when thestory broke.

Soros doesn’t do this entirely by himself.

Compatriots like billionaires Herb andMarion Sandler and their Pro Publica orga-nization also contribute to Media Mattersand the anti-American effort. They are thetop funders of ACORN, MoveOn.org, theAmerican Civil Liberties Union and otherfar-leftist NGOs. In just one example, theyfunded ACORN to trash Wells Fargo, adirect competitor of their World SavingsBank. They also started the “adjustablemortgage rate” fad that trapped unwaryhome buyers into buying homes theycouldn’t afford, which in turn directly led tothe 2007-2008 housing crash.

Soros is committed to his agenda, nomatter what the cost. He provides $450 mil-lion annually to more than 500 radical pro-gressive groups to fund the shock troopsneeded to destabilize the United States as wehave known it historically.

WorldNetDaily’s December 2010Whistleblower magazine identifies 150 ofthese NGOs. They range from Soros’ flagshipOpen Society Institute to the Tides Founda-tion, MoveOn.org (which labeled Gen. DavidPetraeus, “General Betray Us”) to hundreds

EARLY CHILDHOODGeorge Soros’ parents were devout globalists and raised their son in that fashion. BornGyörgy Shwarz in Hungary, his father gave him a false identity at age six to protect him fromthe inevitable Nazi takeover. Although the new name protected Soros, his parents did notescape. A government official responsible for confiscating the property of Jews and shippingthem off to death camps took Soros in as a godson at age 14. Soros accompanied his godfa-ther in this activity, and he eventually participated in the grisly process.

In an interview on Dec. 20, 1998, with Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes,” Soros boasted, “that’swhen my char acter was made.” Soros admitted to Kroft that he actually partici pated in theconfiscation of Jews’ property. When Kroft responded that it would cause psychiatric prob-lems for most people, Soros responded, “No...not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’tsee the connection. But it was...it created no...no problem at all.” He also told Kroft that he hadno residual psychiatric problems from these experiences, and that he felt no guilt. ■

PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGYProgressive liberals or Democrats demand that our Constitution be based on “social” and“environmental justice,” whereby the govern ment applies “positive rights.” With positiverights, the government defines what is right and wrong for everyone in order to assureequality between citizens, and between citizens and the environ ment. The progressives seesocial and envir onmental crises everywhere, which they must fix by granting new “rights”and creating big govern ment and massive spending pro grams that redistribute wealth. Ifthat doesn’t work, then bigger government and more spending is always the answer.

Progressive Republicans, often called RINOs or neocons, also believe in big government,big spending, and control of the people, although not nearly as much as progressive Demo -crats. Rather than social programs, they tend towards fascism and support big business anda huge military. They are quick to use the military as the world’s policeman, some say to pro-tect their economic interests. George Soros belongs to this group, although the hundreds ofNGOs he helps fund are almost all progressive liberal organizations. Both flavors of progres-sives favor creating global governance, albeit for different reasons. The progressive ideologyof both groups is diametrically opposed to our Constitution. Yet, the media continue to talkabout progressivism as just another form of government that has equal value to constitu-tional governance. In part, this is because progressives know that consti tutional governanceand progressive governance cannot coexist and they are deliberately muddying the water toconfuse people while they gradually undermine and destroy the Constitution.

Together, progressives make up less than 20 percent of the American popu lation, but theycontrol both political parties and dominate government at every level. Progres sives have cre-ated nearly all our $15.5 trillion national debt and $116 trillion unfunded liability that will beincurred if we do not restructure Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. To put this intoperspec tive, the annual gross dom estic product of the entire world is only $63 trillion! So far,progressive Demo crats have refused to even discuss solutions to these problems.

Our Con stitution is designed to protect our liberties and our ability to create wealth bylimiting government power. Over the past century, progres sive administrations and Con-gresses of both political parties have systematically ignored it, resulting in increasinglyrepressive laws. Trag ically, we have for gotten why constitutional principles are the founda-tion of the American Dream, and have allowed big government to increasingly deny us lib-erty while driving America off a financial cliff. ■

“That’s when mycharacter wasmade,” Soros

boasted. He told Steve Kroft on

“60 Minutes” that he actually

participated in theconfiscation ofJews’ property.

of smaller groups like ACORN. It is no acci-dent that the Open Society Institute throughthe Tides Foundation and Alliance for GlobalJustice funded part of the Occupy Wall Streetriots last fall.

The Open Society Institute, recentlyrenamed the Open Society Foundation, isthe principal organization that Soros uses todistribute hundreds of millions of dollarsevery year to progressive organizations.Most telling, Soros selected Aryeh Neier to

head the organization. Neier was thefounder of the violent radical group SDS(Students for a Democratic Society) in the1960s. Soros has stated publicly that hewants his vast network of organizations tobe the “conscience of the world.” In otherwords, he wants his own conscience todecide right and wrong for everyone, every-where. What does his conscience tell him?In his book, “The Age of Fallibility,” Soroslaments, “The main obstacle to a stable andjust world order is the United States.”

Towards this goal, Soros spent at least $45million from 2000 to 2008 on efforts torestructure the judicial system in America.He is promoting what he calls the “merit

selection” of judges. Instead of voting forjudges in elections, Soros wants judgesappointed by an unelected, unaccountablecommission of lawyers, most of whomwould be liberal progressives who wouldthen actively disassemble the Constitution.Soros has funded dozens of NGOs under theumbrella of the Justice at Stake Campaign toadvance his agenda. All this is fundedthrough the Soros-controlled Open SocietyFoundation.

The financial condition of the UnitedStates today is very unstable—exactly whatSoros and his NGOs have been striving toaccomplish for decades. Yet, mainstreammedia are strangely quiet on this precariouspredicament. Most people don’t understandthe drastic implications if Soros and his alliesare successful. Soros predicts that riots inAmerica will lead to a brutal clampdown oncivil liberties—exactly what these radicalNGOs want.

During the last week of December 2011,foreign holders of U.S. Treasuries dumped arecord $69 billion ($3.6 trillion annually) inTreasury Notes. If that trend continues, or ifChina undermines the dollar’s reserve cur-

rency status, our interest payments on our$15.5-trillion debt could skyrocket from the$414 billion paid in 2010 to as much as $1trillion annually. In early 2012, interest rateson U.S. Treasuries were at historic lows, notbecause the dollar was sound, but becauseother currencies, especially the euro, are soweak and unstable in comparison. Thatcould literally change overnight if, forinstance, the U.S. dollar ceased to be theworld’s reserve currency.

The United States (alongwith many individualstates) is in very serioustrouble. We must turn thisso-called “progressive”runaway train around. Ifwe don’t, we will see theunraveling of our eco-nomic and political sys-tem, perhaps allowingSoros and other globaliststo come rushing in to savethe day with Soviet-styleglobal governance and anew global currency—something that the pro-gressive elites have beenplanning for a hundredyears.

Soros laughingly insists:“I would prefer not to beinvolved in party politics.It’s only because I felt thatthe Bush administrationwas misleading the countrythat I became involved.” Heclaims this while he forms ashadow government withpowerful progressives, andeven as he launches everyweapon in his considerable

arsenal straight at the very foundation of theUnited States. It is time to take back Americaat the ballot box. ■
