The curious case of George Soros has been a puzzle to me for some time.  The 89 year old Soros was born György Schwartz, to a Hungarian Jewish family.   In 1947, Soros immigrated to the UK, where he studied at the London School of Economics.  Soros made his money in a variety of financial positions, including hedge fund manager and currency trader.  Soros is a multi-billionaire who funds organizations whose stated purposes are the destruction of the American government and society.  Why would someone who has so profited from capitalism seek its demise?  It’s complicated, and then again, maybe not so complicated.  At the end of the day, it all leads back to that progressive mental disorder, delusions of rectitude, and the curious progressive definition of “democracy.”  Soros has published a number of books detailing his political philosophy.  As a Guardian article has explained, his defining intellectual principle is internationalism.  Soros is a globalist who seeks to establish a world defined not by sovereign states, but by a global community.  He believes everyone shares an interest in “freedom, equality and prosperity.”  Unfortunately for the rest of us, however, Soros’s definition of “freedom” is a world where everyone is required to do as he commands.  Equality?  OK, I’ll give him that one, for if Soros gets his way everybody will be equally miserable.   And like other progressives, he confuses welfare with prosperity.  Soros envisions what he calls a “global open society,” and he believes that his highly regulated authoritarian dream society represents the only way to ensure that humanity can overcome the “existential challenges of climate change and nuclear proliferation.”  I might list them in opposite order, and of course, Soros doesn’t mention what he plans to do to stop Iranian and North Korean nuclear proliferation.  But no matter, Soros truly wants to transform national and international politics and society to fit his perverted notions of freedom, democracy and prosperity.  Although Soros took advantage of the Western capitalist system to amass his fortune (he once was known as the man who broke the Bank of England), he now believes that unregulated global capitalism undermines his open society plan. (He’s not giving his money back).  Soros complains that nationalist interests foster domestic and international inequality, because industries are free to move to lower tax nations and lenders are free to make what he considers unsound loans that threaten his Utopian views. The true enemy for Soros is nationalism.  In Soros’s opinion, the only way to save capitalism from itself is to establish a “global system of political decision-making.”  Think of George Soros as a billionaire version of John Lennon, “Imagine there’s no countries.  It isn’t hard to do.  Nothing to kill or die for.  And no religion too.”  No countries, just your benevolent global dictatorship.  Surprising no one, the U.S. is Soros’s main villain.  The U.S. has a nasty habit of acting in its own national interest.  It’s free to unilaterally impose economic sanctions when and where it sees fit.  It’s called sovereignty, and Soros wants to put an end to that.  Soros wants the U.S. to change its ways, for its own good, of course, with George Soros as the arbiter of what is “good.”  To this end, Soros has given more than $32 billion to a number of left-wing organizations.  Here are some of them and what they stand for.   The American Federation of Teachers (leftists love nothing more than early indoctrination);  pro-Palestinian groups like Al-Haq & Arab American Institute (necessarily anti-Israel);  Alliance for Justice supports leftist judges and attacks Republicans as extremists (Sound familiar?); American Friends Service Committee supports amnesty for illegal aliens, dissolution of American borders, and repeal the Patriot Act;  Aspen Institute accuses the U.S. of structural racism; Campaign for America’s Future wants tax hikes, socialized medicine, and a dramatic expansion of social welfare programs (It doesn’t matter what the majority wants – democracy, right?);  Campus Progress stifles any dissent from leftist opinion; Center for Constitutional Rights (Don’t you just love that name?) is pro-Castro organization for open borders that opposes post-9/11 anti-terrorism measures, and alleges that American injustice provokes acts of international terrorism (No mention of 1st, 2d, 4th, 5th, or 6th Amendment rights);  He funds a number of climate organizations that condemn, logging, mining and ranching; MADRE  paints the U.S. as the greatest violator of human rights (No mention of China); National Committee for Voting Integrity, (Get a load of this one) opposes proof of citizenship and photo identification requirements for voters in American elections as the means of assuring election integrity (Right out of Orwell, “War is peace.  Freedom is slavery”).  Other groups back forced redistribution of wealth, higher taxes and more welfare.  NPP wants the government to use military funding for public education, universal health insurance, environmentalist projects, and welfare.  Ploughshares Fund opposes America’s missile defense system, and opposes U.S. foreign policies and military ventures.  Media Matters for America systematically monitors  print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for “conservative misinformation” (No dissent allowed, you see).  Prison Moratorium Project works for the elimination of all prisons in the United States and the release of all inmates.  So to summarize, Soros wants no borders, no citizenship, no law enforcement (except his own), no free speech, no national defense, high taxes, income redistribution, and no prisons.  Let the criminals out, and then send them their checks.  I don’t agree with any of the things Soros supports.  That being said, he’s got a right to fund what he chooses to fund, up to a point.  George Soros is a U.S. citizen.  Progressives are in the process of trying to restrict the rights of certain U.S. citizens (Republicans) to speak, act, or run for office, and even to imprison those who oppose them, painting  as “insurrectionists” or “urban terrorists” anyone who so much as dares to suggest that our current Democrat leaders are corrupt or illegitimate.  For my money, based upon the foregoing description of Soros’s activities, if a Capitol building trespasser wearing a Viking helmet deserves 4 years in prison, then they ought to hang Soros, especially in light of his most recent activities.  Soros has been funding leftist prosecutors in a number of States.  Prosecutors who refuse to enforce the law.  Soros DAs have turned cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago and Baltimore into criminal hellholes.  Unconvinced that the U.S. will conform to his will naturally, Soros has decided to use the prosecutors t0 destroy the fabric of our society.  No laws, no borders, economic collapse, a breakdown of government control, and we are ripe for dictatorship, right out of the playbook of the Nazis Soros managed to evade in his youth.  Whether he wears a Brown Shirt or a Saville Row suit, a fascist is still a fascist.
