    Darker Money

    Fascinating article in Searchlight-type e-mag, geopolitics.ru into how George Soros' money is being sent from Europe to assist the hard left in the USA.
    Both Soros and his Open Society Foundations provide funding directly or indirectly to over 200 US organizations. The list is following...

    Yes - but is it all real, or is it fake news? It may be "fascinating" for the "wrong" reasons.

      No, that's the other thread with a similar title.

          The billionaire was the first target in a series of mail bombs sent this week, an attack that comes as vilification of Soros has reached new heights

              In a much darker place, I suspect.

                  I’m not condoning him. I still remember the vast amount of money he “made” out of the UK’s currency mistakes. Seemed totally wrong to me.

                  I don’t know whether causes he may support are “good” or not.

                    I didn't know there was a "hard left" in the US. Is that Hillary Clinton?

                    Soros has become a bête noire for the hard right and those who like to seize on his Jewish background to smear him. The reason he is being hounded by the hard right is not because he made his billions in currency dealings, but because of the causes to which he now donates his money.



                    The Open Society Foundations were founded by George Soros, one of the world’s foremost philanthropists. Since 1984, he has given away $32 billion. Find out more.


                    "The Turkish branch of George Soros’s pro-democracy charity has decided to close its doors after President Erdogan accused the billionaire of funding mass protests in Istanbul in 2013." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/g...ions-bxvqm9g5j

                    Soros funding the migrant caravan in Mexico, with its criminals.

                    Democracy, political transparency, human rights, refugees. True enough, it's the 'lefties' who seem to be grossly concerned about these trivia, not the hard right.
                    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                      I am no admirer of Soros. But his demonisation by the right is a way of insinuating exactly the same mythical "international Jewish conspiracy" ideas that fuelled antisemitism in the early 20th century with results that hardly need underlining.

                        Oh dear. The antisemitic slur and The Holocaust thrown in too. The left really get their tits in a knot with this sort of stuff.

                          I didn't know there is a 'Hard Right' in the UK. And I'm flabbergasted to discover that Nigel's a member!

                          Soros is a bête noire for many people and it has nothing to do with his being Jewish. For example, Nigel can't stick Soros and he's very pro Jewish and Israel. As we all are on our bit of the right

                            Time and space are sociological constructs, wholly and entirely dependent on society


                            Find that a difficult statement to believe . Not even fake news!
