Soros behind the curtain, illusions & the ‘08 vote - UPDATED | The Anchoress

idn’t the mainstream media report that 2006’s vast immigration rallies across the country began as a spontaneous uprising of 2 million angry Mexican-flag waving illegal immigrants demanding U.S. citizenship in Los Angeles, egged on only by a local Spanish-language radio announcer?

Turns out that wasn’t what happened, either. Soros’ OSI had money-muscle there, too, through its $17 million Justice Fund. The fund lists 19 projects in 2006. One was vaguely described involvement in the immigration rallies. Another project funded illegal immigrant activist groups for subsequent court cases.

So what looked like a wildfire grassroots movement really was a manipulation from OSI’s glassy Manhattan offices. The public had no way of knowing until the release of OSI’s 2006 annual report.

I also wrote, here:

And by the way, the press has noticed what sets you off, and they’ve been playing to your heat, and you’ve been responding to their bell-ringing like Pavlovian dogs, too.

Seeds of Destruction

This skillfully researched book focuses on how a small socio-political American elite seeks to establish control over the very basis of human survival: the provision of our daily bread. "Control the food and you control the people."

This is no ordinary book about the perils of GMO. Engdahl takes the reader inside the corridors of power, into the backrooms of the science labs, behind closed doors in the corporate boardrooms.

The author cogently reveals a diabolical World of profit-driven political intrigue, government corruption and coercion, where genetic manipulation and the patenting of life forms are used to gain worldwide control over food production. If the book often reads as a crime story, that should come as no surprise. For that is what it is.

Engdahl's carefully argued critique goes far beyond the familiar controversies surrounding the practice of genetic modification as a scientific technique. The book is an eye-opener, a must-read for all those committed to the causes of social justice and World peace.

Atlas Shrugs: RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT HUSSEIN: "A $550 Billion Electronic Run on the Banks"

On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically.

The Treasury tried to help, opened their window and pumped in $150 Billion but quickly realized they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. So they decided to closed down the accounts.

Had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawn and the entire economy of the United States would have collapsed, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed.

POGO PUNDITS: Daschle Withdraws; Could Soros be next?

PS: Not long ago, I suggested that eliminating the "don't ask -- don't tell" policy will lead eventually to reviving the draft ..... Looks as if I'm not the only one who suspects this to happen ....

Wonder if this was a hidden agenda (unofficial goal) to boost employment levels???

Better still ---- how else could we keep enough troops in supply to fight for the Afghanistan poppy and opium trade per (what I describe as) the Obama-Soros War to Control Global Drug Trade?

And you thought Obama really gave a hoot about what or who is hiding in those desolate mountains?

Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » The Awakening of a Dumb (Gay) American

But here in LA, something equally bizarre was happening – or my eyes were being opened to it for the very first time – and it was almost as difficult to comprehend as the devastation. Literally within hours of the attack, an old school chum, now also living in LA, forwarded me a mass email from MoveOn.org – urging people not to give in to their feelings of fear and anger (normal in a grieving process), but to ask why this violence had been directed at us and to take a hard look at what we had done to inspire such an act.

, he would often tell me proudly about the sensitivity training the NYPD was undergoing - even despite the fact that the department had been informed of hundreds of sleeper cells spread all over the NY/NJ area.
I tried to process this line of thinking, but it was so soon after the attack, it only added to my guilt, confusion and anger. Meanwhile, the MoveOn.org emails kept being forwarded to me everyday, with similar messages. It began to seem like MoveOn.org did not want ordinary people like myself to go through a full grieving process – which would include, at the very least, a period of anger (denial), and then sadness. There seemed to be a mass effort afoot to undermine peoples’ natural human reaction to 9/11 – to take away the power of their emotions, and try to replace those emotions with correct thinking ASAP. (In retrospect, someone must have been very afraid of those emotions.)
In early November 2001, I was at another friend’s house one evening, watching the NBC Nightly News. During a commercial break, the words HAPPY RAMADAN suddenly flashed on the screen, then vanished. I wasn’t sure what I had just seen – or if I had really seen it at all. It was so fast, subliminal. My friend wasn’t sure he had really seen it either. We looked at each other, perplexed. On top of that, I couldn’t recall any network ever celebrating Ramadan before – I barely even knew what Ramadan was. Yet right after mass devastation in my home town, suddenly there it was on the screen. HAPPY RAMADAN - blink and you missed it. We saw the words flash one more time after that, then no more.
there was comfort in it. It was familiar
I began to realize that I did not really believe in the knee-jerk attitudes I had affected for most of my life, in New York.
and mentioning the crusades, which made me feel vaguely guilty as if, again, somehow we had brought this on ourselves. (Last time I checked, the United States did not exist in 1096.)
I didn’t even know that Israel is a democracy, a pluralistic society like we are, and I had no concept of how rare that is in the world, particularly in the Middle East. I took democracy completely for granted. Like many Americans, I assumed the whole world was coming from the same place, wanted the same things – with a few bad apples here and there.
that old, perverted German ideology known as Nazism, which we all agree is a bad thing, has never gone out of style – it just moved mid-east. I’m not sure many Americans realize how big a part Swastikas and Nazi salutations play in the radical Islamic world.
But re-reading it after several years, I was shocked at my own snideness. Peppered throughout the entire book were snotty asides and insinuations about American hypocrisy, aspersions about how conformist and rigid our society was, how evil Republicans were, the whole shebang. And I realized something awful: I had just been parroting what I was taught all my life from watching television – which was where I got most of my notions about the world while I was growing up.
But really, what did I have to complain about? Who had forced me to conform to any harsh societal standard?

Pat Dollard | Young Americans | Blog Archive » The Real Reason Why George Soros Wants Norm Coleman Out Of The Senate

Mark Malloch Brown, who had previously worked at the World Bank, had been in the running to succeed Paul Wolfowitz as head of the World Bank. That would be yet another friend in a high place — that Soros collects like so many cards in a deck. Since the World Bank often helps private businesses in their investments, this friend in a high place would have been particularly valuable to George Soros, who invests billions of dollars in the type of lesser-developed nations on which the World Bank focuses. David Asman of Fox News called Mark Malloch Brown George Soros’s “Ace in the Hole” at the World Bank when it appeared that Brown was vying for the top job at the Bank. Asman noted that Brown would be in a prime position to help Soros play the currency markets since currency traders’

Alas for Soros and Mr. Brown, the post went to Robert Zoellick. Don’t count Brown and Soros out yet, though. A new President is coming to town and President Obama will have a new chance to pick the head of the World Bank (though the World Bank is an international body, traditionally the United States chooses the person who leads the Bank).

George Soros and Barack Obama also have long-standing ties. Soros is very astute in his choice of “friends” who owe him favors. He knows good investments when he sees them and knows more about leverage than most hedge fund billionaires.

Funding the campaigns of Barack Obama was not just another investment/political donation of George Soros. He started funding Barack Obama’s campaigns at an early date and used a loophole in federal campaign laws to exceed normal limits on donations. He then used his phalanx of 527 groups to campaign for Obama via, among other avenues, the powerful and furtive Democracy Alliance.

But, I digress.

One More Promethean » George Soros, Saakashvili and Obama

There’s several fairly detailed articles on Soros’ role in Mikhail Saakashvili’s rise to power.

defenddemocracy.org
muslimuzbekistan.com
aotearoaawiderperspective.wordpress.com

Predictably Soros has downplayed his role in the affair (why give the game away when Bush is doing such a good job convincing the West that Saakashvili was democratically elected?), though he does admit to supporting it through his Open Society Georgia Foundation.

I’ve read through a couple of the the Open Society Georgia Foundation’s annual reports (2003 and 2004) and found them fairly innocent, stressing the importance of education, etc. However, I can see how the creation of television networks, media monitoring organisations and electoral reform committees could be seen as political meddling.

nettime:*The Soros Network, Horvath

hen trying to navigate through the myriad foundations and organizations supported by Soros, it's quite easy to get lost. At present, the keyword which all of them have in common is open society. Accessing the Soros homepage on the ÊWeb , you immediately come across the conceptual framework by which Soros operates his open society activities: "The concept of [the] open society is based on the recognition that people act on imperfect knowledge and nobody is in possession of the ultimate truth." (see also George Soros The Open Society Reconsidered ) Sounds quite impressive. What is equally impressive are all the reports from the different parts of the world about what the various Soros foundations are doing. They all contain the same components, though worded differently and presented according to the political environment they operate in. The bulk of Soros' activities are centered around education,

Soros remarked that the Internet is vital to help build an open society.
This
is an ironic statement coming from a man who is not a direct user of the
Internet himself.
educational mobility
When talking about Soros' "open society", it is often this openness that
appears to be missing. A lot of what has been done is mere words. Good
intentions have not always translated themselves to successful change.
Some professing to be committed to an open society appear to be merely
jumping on the bandwagon, hoping to extract what is available in terms of
grant money. In many cases, those working for Soros organizations are economic
migrants from western countries, mostly the US. Because the entry level
for white collar jobs are almost non-existent in America, many have decided
to gain experience first or work abroad and wait until the situation improves
back home. Very few Soros employees share their top boss' philanthropy.
Indeed, when you hear them talk about their love for humanity, they expect to
be paid for it.
personal connections takes
precedence over ability.
The main focus of the "open society"
appears to be the media, especially visual media and media art
But the situation looks to be far more complex than this. Rather than
promote an "open society", Soros seems to have recreated the status quo on a
different scale. The same type of bureaucracy that had existed under
communism appears to be in control of foundation activities. Ironically,
this is the very antithesis of the "open society" concept. As one "netizen"
observed: "they just want to get their toys back and they skillfully use [the]
market now to do the job. Electronic media are just one of the most obvious
example - this is a clear attempt to establish a monopoly on information."
"Soros is interested in connecting slow
and official NGO bureaucracies, leaving the rest of the population to the
market." Hence, there seems to be a contradiction between Soros' desire to
establish a socially-oriented telecommunications infrastructure and Internet
culture on the one hand, and commercial interests on the other.
, the Soros
Foundation was shown to be instrumental in the election of the president of
the Ukraine.
The most likely use of the ISF, however, would seem to be as a means for
shrewd market penetration in an economically prostrate region. By
concentrating on the media and telecommunications infrastructure
development, to what extent is the ISF building a Soros-controlled
telecommunications empire that spans from the Pacific to Central Europe?
Cook poses the question more elaborately:

"[what would happen] if, as part of the next stage, [the] ISF puts
similar backbones in Russia's 10 or 15 largest cities and connects each city
together by satellite or terrestrial links? If Soros under the rubric of
telecommunications infrastructure for scientists creates such a network he
will have effectively created an alternative [not] only to Relcom, but will
operate and control what may be the best telecommunications infrastructure
in the entire Russian nation. Is his goal then to create and control a Russian
equivalent of AT&T?"
Indeed, the use of philanthropic organizations as a cover for economic
and, ultimately, political and social exploitation already has a precedent.
In their exhaustively researched book, "Thy Will be Done - The Conquest of
the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil" (Harper
Collins), authors Gerard Colby and Chalotte Dennett documented the process
by which Nelson Rockefeller was able to conquer the Amazon and other
South American regions for US corporations with the help of religion and
philanthropy. This was done by encroaching into coveted territory by
selling American agricultural products to South American farmers through
supposedly philanthropic organizations. Eventually, the farmers were
forcefully removed from their land. A comparison with Soros is
frighteningly similar: the difference between them is Rockefeller went
south, Soros east; Rockefeller's objective was oil, Soros
telecommunications.
One possible solution to this problem can be found in Bernard de
Mandeville's 1714 essay, "The Fable of the Bees: Private Vice, Publick
Virtue." Accordingly, the purpose of an "open society" is to "liberate"
daily life by making it an endless stream of satisfactions of infantile desire,
while the overall "environment" (i.e. all the important issues facing society)
would be rigidly controlled from the top down. This mirrors what Stahlman
describes as the "English Ideology", that is, libertarianism in the form of an
"anything-goes" small-scale private life combined with rigidly defined,
large-scale constraints that are controlled by a technocratic elite.

While such a scenario may seem "fantastic", the Internet has actually
brought it that much closer to reality. Individuals are escaping into virtual
worlds by "surfing the net" and the use of interactive games (and other
programs). Meanwhile, political leaders are planning and praising the rapid
steps that are being taken toward the establishment of a global economy.
Consequently, the "open society" has become a
very sophisticated imperial approach that is using people against themselves.
