NEW YORK – Paul Soros, a successful innovator in shipping, philanthropist and the older brother of billionaire financier George Soros, died in New York City on Saturday after a long bout with a host of illnesses, said his son Peter Soros. He was 87.

Soros, an engineer and businessman, founded Soros Associates, a world leader in the design and development of bulk handling and port facilities. The company has operations in 91 countries. Soros also held a number of patents and wrote more than 100 technical articles on the transportation of materials and related shipping design issues.

"His genius, which was really reflected in his work, was really a function of seeing what everyone was seeing and finding new ways to solve interesting problems," said Peter Soros.

Soros also drew upon his own immigrant biography in establishing with his wife the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans in 1997. The foundation's $75 million endowment funds graduate education for immigrants and the children of immigrants.

Soros was born Paul Schwartz in Hungary in 1926. His father changed the family name to Soros a decade later, in response to growing anti-Semitism.

It would be best for George Soros to live forever, as the moment he dies his billions will go to his even more liberal kids and to George’s favorite causes.

I’m guessing it is a play on 6/15/2013
6/1+5/2+1+3
6/6/6 - the mark of the beast.

I’d be more interested in learning if he worked for the Nazis, as well.

Maybe it was a mix up with another database. The zot file had him listed as having already passed.

George, Paul, John, Ringo

Helped round up his fellow Hungarian Jews and aided in boxcar-ing them up for a vacation like no other. Pure scum. His “birth” name, György Schwartz. Disgusting POS!

At the University of Nebraska, the way to end a victory celebration is to flush the punch bowl.

There’s one funeral I wouldn’t mind seeing Phelps’ freaks protest in front of.

He is just beginning to pull the rug out from under George. This is preparatory, last chance before his own elevator door shuts for good.

Got a question; did Paul sell innocent Jews to the NAZIS like George did?

The seemed to be a much more admirable figure than his brother. He originated patents and was actually productive, e.g., running port facilities. Not the currency manipulator and hyper-political figure his brother George is.

The Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship For New Americans:

http://www.pdsoros.org/current_fellows/

Try and find a “Smith” or “Murray” in this bunch of “new Americans”.

The progressives pick our “Republican” nominees, while the Soros’ pick the “New Americans”.

I’d like to say “Rest in peace”, but this was an enemy of mine and yours—I’ll just say I’m glad my Lord will pass judgement.
