Human Events’ readers, in an online poll, recently votedbillionaire
financier George Soros “the single most destructive
leftist demagogue in the country.” Here are the Top 10
Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous:
1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the
Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive
causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7
billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of
recipients of Soros’ money says it all: 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. Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said
that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central
focus of my life.” He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58
million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush. His early financial
support helped jump-start Barack Obama’s 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 subservient to 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. Media Matters: 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. MoveOn.org: 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, 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.
7. Environmental extremism: 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.
