FR had threads linking Soros to the crisis here, and here, and here.

They link him to the 2008 debacle, and give his veiled hints at more to come.

>>>The real horror was how fast law and order collapsed. It didn't take much.

>There are several examples of the breakdown of law and order. Katrina in 2005. Los Angeles in 1992 (Rodney King). The 1977 New York blackout. Law and order, and polite society, is just a veneer.

It's worse than that. The disintegration of society by the Left has only accelerated. In the 1965 NY blackout, the only result was a birth explosion nine months later. No riots, no thugs going on rampages. A NY blackout today that lasted three days would mean the destruction of the city.

Thanks for the links, Sarge.

While I have great respect for Pam Geller, and also for Hot Air, I don’t see anything in these posts that says Soros actually withdrew the money. He is known for doing such things, and his comments and actions seem to support the claim that he did so on 9/15/08, but there is no proof.

The book that I cited, published this year by Regnery, would certainly have pointed to Soros as the villain if there were proof.

Re the New York riots: The 1965 riot was relatively benign as far as crime. In 1977, however, they had the trucks and hooks ready and waiting and pulled the openwork grates right off the stores so they could be looted.

After that, solid “grates” became the norm. In fact, you couldn’t get insurance after that unless you had a solid grate.

“Riot” should read “blackout.”

“....speculates that it was one of our current enemies.”

IMHO...payback from the EU for disrupting their plans for a Euro floated by Iranian Oil. BO was the EU’s revenge on the USA....

Interesting theory. The author’s best guess was China.
