George Soros Holds Secret Meeting, Makes 5-Year Plan - (Repubs had better keep an eye on him!)

A hush-hush meeting of 70 leftist fat cats heard billionaire George Soros lay out a five-year plan designed to build a network of think tanks, media outlets and training schools promoting Soros' brand of Marxism. Meeting in Scottsdale Ariz., last weekend, the assemblage of multi-millionaires, whose identities were kept secret by the meeting's organizers, planned to start the process of building an ideas production line for liberal politicians.

They wwant to begin what organizers hope will be a long dialogue with the "partners," many from the high-tech industry, a group that backed John Kerry in last year's presidential election. According to Hans Nichols, writing in Front Page Magazine, the participants have begun to refer to themselves as the Phoenix Group.

Soros warned the group that if they want to realize long-term political and ideological yields from an expected massive investment in "startup" progressive think tanks, they will have to be patient.

The meeting of venture capitalists, left-leaning moneymen and a select few D.C. political strategists was convened by Rob Stein, a former official of the Clinton Commerce Department.

He advised the participants on how to seed pro-Democratic think tanks, media outlets and leadership schools to compete with such established conservative institutions as the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute and the Leadership Institute.

Nichols reports that senior Democratic National Committee (DNC) officials were quietly briefed about the meeting in recent weeks. He says that DNC Chairman Howard Dean, a friend of Stein's, was aware of it, but one senior DNC source said that otherwise the organizers "kept that list [of attendees] kind of tight."

Sarah Ingersoll, spokeswoman for Stein’s Democracy Alliance, which will act as a clearinghouse and is expected to channel much of its money to new organizations and existing ones such as John Podesta’s Center for American Progress and David Brock’s Media Matters for America, said it was "a very preliminary meeting of committed donors interested in building a community to support progressive infrastructure."

The money details are several weeks away, she said. "There aren’t dollar figures at this point," Ingersoll told The Hill newspaper. Soros, a Hungarian-born financier who donated more than $23 million to pro-Democratic 527 groups in the 2004 election cycle, gave the main presentation, said Ingersoll, who declined to name the other presenters.

"Primarily, we’re looking at making recommendations and thinking through with these donors on how they can form an alliance," she added. "This is about creating a network of individuals to share information to be effective in whatever they do going forward."

Among those present were former White House press secretary Mike McCurry and New Democrat Network president Simon Rosenberg.

One source at the DNC with direct knowledge of the agenda told The Hill that the Phoenix Group had three specific goals at the outset. To create:

Liberal think tanks

Training camps for young progressives (FYI, Democrats repackaged for the new millennium are call progressives)

Media centers

"what is the deal with communist totalitarians and their love of five-year-plans???

You're RIGHT! I hadn't thought of that. Nice observation.

Thanks, King Prout! Excellent addition to the discussion!

Maybe the Communist, The liberals, the Democrats, and Soros are deviously planning a " coup d'etat " of the US government.
In that case, if they are secretly planning some kind of coup of the US government, I sure hope the C.I.A./N.S.A/F.B.I/ and home land security is investigating and keeping a eye out on SOROS and Company and his cohorts.

lol He lost millions and hes going to teach other how to do the same or is he scaming them to get his money back?

[mmercier]

in fact this is good news. it demonstrates that the brain impaired liberals are reduced to the point where a very few individuals must support their cause. all they have left are those who are uneducated in the communist controlled schools and super rich neurotics.

the contradiction that kills them is their (liberals) professed hatred of wealth, and the uneducated idiot realizing that the hated wealth bearers are in fact the financiers of the cause they were "taught" to support.

all the super rich can put all of their assets on the line, but they will still fall short of the nickles and dimes that the mass of the population contribute to their causes.

the wealthy only move history in small ways for very limited periods of time. the mass movement of individuals, neither rich nor poor is what moves events.

there are no contradictions in nature, and even the dumbest and dimmest eventually comes to this realization.

I don't think he is self-made unless he was disinherited by his father. See the above site which purports to be his biography. I realize it is pbs and suspect because of that, but I've seen and heard many times that OBL's father was a wealthy man. You are right, it really doesn't make any difference, he is an evil person.

Oops, I should have read your next post.

He is Hungarian.

Peter B. Lewis was behind that meeting. He's not as well known as Soros but may be an even bigger troublemaker.

Boycott Progressive Insurance Co., Lewis's cash cow. It's been a Marxist outfit since his Dad established it years ago. He dontates nearly as much cash as Soros.

I just didn't read your original post properly and thought you say George Soros was a millionaire by birth. Sorry, I should probably cut down on grappa :-)....
