Did anyone catch the Poobah's comments on CNBC? Was he telling us how much we deserved 911?

Ironically, they'd probably agree with that -- primordial ooze sort of thing.

Please note that open society does not preclude the pursuit of self-interest; on the contrary, in the absence of perfect knowledge, it is best left to the individual to define what his interests are and it is best left to the market mechanism to reconcile those interests. But, in the absence of perfect knowledge, it cannot be left to the individual to protect the common interest. You need institutions which take precedence over the individual. These institutions are bound to be flawed but, if they belong to an open society, this fact will be recognized in their constitution and there will be a never-ending endeavor to correct the deficiencies. That is what makes open society such a subtle and sophisticated concept.

Is this another trademark, like 'reflexivity?' If so, maybe he'll recant on that one, too.

OK, I myself don't agree with his politics, but I'm not aiming to slam him. I was just curious what he said, in case that needed a good thrashing.

Angered by the spectacle of prominent multimillionaires publicly opposing repeal of the federal estate tax, a Texas woman has responded by forming a group of disabled taxpayers to launch a nationwide advertising and grassroots campaign to lobby Congress to abolish the tax.

"I was deeply offended by the callous and heartless comments made by this group," said Erin O'Leary, president of Disabled Americans for Death Tax Relief. Millionaires Warren Buffet, William Gates Sr. and George Soros ran national ads in February urging Congress to keep the federal estate tax, which would affect their own heirs.

Global Bondage

All of this was predicted in Cliff Kincaid’s Global Bondage. ”In concert with the Clinton Administration,” Kincaid wrote, “the U.N. appears to be moving to embrace the legalization of dangerous mind-altering substances as part of a new ‘international approach’ to the drug problem.

“Under a U.N.-sponsored plan to legalize drugs on a worldwide basis, drug trafficking countries such as Colombia or Mexico would become ‘respectable.’ Notorious drug traffickers and their bankers would be transformed into legitimate businessmen. Previously illegal entities would suddenly become legal under the supervision of national governments and the U.N.”

This is the future that Soros and the WHO have in store for us: people will be denied life-saving treatments but the government will dispense mind-altering substances to addicts and sick people.

In this future, health care for all will be too expensive to maintain but drugs for addicts will be a lucrative business for some, such as those who are heavily invested in the drug trade. Addictive drugs, after all, generate their own demand and their own special market. This means profits for the companies which market the drugs and revenues for governments which regulate and tax them. (30)

Large quantities of money have been known to be 'mind altering.'

“The main cause of poverty is bad government. The other cause is bad location. Bad government, you can try to cure,” he said.

Well, he's right about this much, at least.
