BACKSTORY During World War I, Soros' father was captured by the Russians but managed to escape. Then during World War II, his family hid from the Nazis after Hungary allied itself with Germany. Came to U.S. in 1956 with economics degree in hand. In 1969, started Quantum Fund with James Rogers, who broke with him in 1981.

Today, as a 70% owner of $2.1 billion Quantum, the world’s largest offshore investment fund, Soros and the other six managing directors split 15% of the annual profits. He had homes in England and NY and helps fellow Hungarians and other Eastern Europeans reacquaint themselves with capitalism.

To bankroll that effort, Soros created the Open Society Fund in 1979 and the Soros Foundation-Hungary in 1984. Known as "an alternate ministry of culture," the foundation helped establish a management training center in an old castle outside Budapest. Now there are foundations in 10 Central and Eastern European countries (as well as global OS's) aimed at (gag) cultural and economic revitalization.

Soros authored The Alchemy of Finance, published in 1987, in which he outlines his "theory of reflexivity," which holds that perceptions change events which in turn, change perceptions. Soros wrote Opening the Soviet System which was due out in 2004.

Under the aegis of a Foundation, Soros (and his co-conspirators) could get away with huge financial travesties. Within that structure all kinds of financial misdeeds can be hidden. Corporate monies could be laundered, used to fund US campaigns, to evade scrutiny, to transfer corporate assets to personal accounts out of sight of the FEC, IRS, SEC, and state and federal banking laws.

Soros's background in high finance is as a internaitonal currency thief. Rumor has it that there is a bounty on him in Indonesia, and elsewhere. This man is pure evil. Unfortunately, he is also very shrewd. He must be caught in the act of criminality. The damage he can do to our Nation will be profound.

Soros scams include multiple "Open Society" organizations stashed all over the world---that make it a cinch to money-launder graft, dirty deals, stock market manipulations, currency scams, etc. Soros might be palling around with Clinton pardonee Mark Rich---master money launderer---Rich, who renounced his American citizenship to avoid prosecution as the Nation's uiggest tax cheat, runs thousands of, uh, "trading companies."

Who would doubt that the DNC and the Clintons colluded to give Soros access to top secret financial data.....govt-sponsored insider trading that made Soros billions.

In return, Soros, (like the Chinese military) channels millions of dollars back into the DNC and the Clintons' coffers. What a setup. All the illegal contributions the Dims can extort.....and all washed by Soros through his Open Societies.

No wonder Soros was desperate for Kerry to win....... the financial spigot was about to be turned off.

Have you looked into any links between him and Russian oil companies? In the 1990s when the company Svyazinvest was privatized he sided in a bidding war with some Western investors and Vladimir Potanin of Onexim Bank against a group of bidders backed by Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky--after which he ended up losing a lot of money in the 1998 crash--and it seems like a lot of his economic and political activity is geared towards increasing his influence in the Caucasus. I sometimes wonder if his business interests in this area figure into his opposition to Bush's Middle Eastern policy.
