Billionaire financier George Soros, who has helped trigger financial turmoil and political upheaval overseas, is coming to Pittsburgh this weekend to discuss the impact of his Open Society Institute.

Soros will address the 57th annual Council on Foundations conference, which opens Sunday. The council is a trade association for more than 2,000 philanthropic programs worldwide.

According to an event program, Soros is scheduled to speak on "the innovative ways that the Open Society Institute is changing lives across the globe." Soros "will share how creative grantmaking and partnerships can effect change that is far-reaching and sustaining," the program states.

According to its Internet site, the institute aims to shape public policy to promote democratic governance, human rights and economic, legal and social reform.

This guy just won't go away. Thanks again Senator McCain for helping facilitate Soros' meddling in US politics. Couldn't Soros be charged with a RICO violation or something? Anything? I don't see why we have to stand for a foreign national exerting this kind of influence on our political system.

Soros made his billions from the misery of millions. How nice of him to donate a fraction of his fortunes in helping others

[Shady]

I want to know how much his "millions" is manipulating the price of crude oil....

[poobear]

Oh George! Won't you please bring Socialism to us all through your Open Society so we can all be equally miserable collectively?

What a guy!

McCain's 'clean government'.

[freema]

Did Murtha bring him or is Murtha on the speaker's list, or both?

[The South Texan]

And I bet his fingers are deep in the oil commodities trading market too.

The best thing about Soros is that he is an old man,can't live too much longer.

Billionaire financier George Soros...

Should be: "Billianaire financier and convicted felon George Soros..."

While he was successful in the forex markets against Britain and Thailand and perhaps politically in Ukraine and Russia, he (and Lewis, Pritzker, Heinz, et al) failed miserably, here.

Bush won in 2000. GOP picked up seats and control in 2002. Bush won in 2004.

They will likely fail again, politically. So they give loads of cash to the 527s. It shows that they cannot buy all the American votes, all the time.

So far, it is because of the conservative press that we know all about Tides, the funding of the Ruckus Society, the millions from the Pritzker heir and the attempts by Lewis to fund Kerry. These folks, along with Ted Turner, all have their redoubts stocked and they have been quoted publicly as expecting "a revolution" from which they will hide until they think they can surface and take control of whatever is left. I think they are smoking something.

I don't know enough about forex to predict what will happen with the dollar, but people who do know have said repeatedly that whatever, it won't be because of the progressive billionaires, most of whom hold their fortunes in $US and only a very few of whom actually control all their own investments. They make their political contributions and set up their proxies with pocket change. After Soros' forays against the pound and the bhat, it is a good bet that the international currency watchdogs are tracking every move these folks make in those markets.

However, it is great that their every meeting, every connection, every plot and every *donation* is eventually made public. It must really be demoralizing to have very publicly lost, so far, three times, to "that idiot" and to the conservatives around the world (witness Canada).

As for McCain, I expect him to implode publicly at some point, in a manner that will move him so far down the list of possible GOP POTUS candidates that he will have wasted tons of progressive time and money. He doesn't even try to hide his temper tantrums.

Some cabal.

"57th annual conference". Get it? Heinz 57 varieties (from Manchurian Candidate). Obviously Thereza Hienz (no longer Heinz-Kerry) was behind this especially in Pittsburgh. The only other big dog in town is "evil" Richard Mellon Schaife.

Soros is a felon

The best thing about Soros is that he is an old man,can't live too much longer.

I thought the same thing about Ted Kennedy and judge William Wayne Justice. Power is like the Dark Side of the Force, it unnaturally prolongs the lives of evil men.
