Soros Shadow Party Stalks DeLayBy Richard PoeFrontPageMagazine.com | April 12, 2005 On the day that Terri Schiavo died — victim of a court order condemning the brain-damaged woman to death by thirst and starvation — Representative Tom DeLay of Texas did what few politicians have the courage to do these days. He spoke his mind."This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most," DeLay told Fox News on March 31. "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior." DeLay’s strong language worried some Republicans. They pointed...

Anti-Semitism Raises its Head in Serbia Though very small in number, Serbia’s Jewish community is being increasingly targeted by an array of ultra-nationalist groups. By Dragana Nikolic-Solomon and Ljubisa Ivanovic in Belgrade (BCR No 544, 04-Mar-05) The slogans hint at a future settling of accounts. "Juden Raus", "Achtung Juden", "Jews out of Serbia" and "Death to Jews and Gipsies", they proclaim, the words providing a chilling echo of the Holocaust that decimated European Jewry more than half a century ago. But few Jews actually see these slogans in Serbia today. Providing ample proof of the claim that anti-Semitism doesn't need...

It appears the George Soros's charitable giving goes a little beyond trying to defeat President Bush. Last week, Byron York of National Review revealed that in September 2002 the Soros-funded Open Society Institute (OSI) gave $20,000 to the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee. Lynne Stewart, you will recall, is the radical lawyer who was recently convicted of aiding one of her clients, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman. Also known as the "Blind Sheik," Rahman was sentenced in 1996 to life imprisonment for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. After Rahman's conviction, his terrorist organization, Islamic Group, threatened...

Billionaire financier George Soros, whose opposition to President Bush's conduct of the war on terror caused him to pour millions of dollars into the effort to defeat the president, made a substantial donation to the defense fund for radical lawyer Lynne Stewart, who last week was found guilty of giving aid to Islamic terrorists. According to records filed with the Internal Revenue Service, Soros's foundation, the Open Society Institute, or OSI, gave $20,000 in September 2002 to the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee. In filings with the IRS, foundation officials wrote that the purpose of the contribution was "to conduct a...

 Print Copyright (c) 2005 The Daily Star   Tuesday, February 01, 2005 Bush must embrace the values of open societies By George Soros   President George W. Bush's second inaugural address set forth an ambitious vision of the role of the United States in advancing the cause of freedom worldwide, fueling worldwide speculation over the course of American foreign policy during the next four years. The ideas expressed in Bush's speech thus deserve serious consideration. "It is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture,"...

Top News Story Soros supports mullahs: The left embraces yet another enemy Posted: January 14, 20051:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com On Jan. 13, 2005, the pro-mullah American-Iranian Council joined forces with George Soros's Open Society Institute to host Javad Zarif, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, to give a talk titled, "The View from Tehran." Soros did not waste any time after supporting with millions of his own money John Kerry's losing 2004 presidential bid. Even before George Bush could be inaugurated the second time, Soros was rolling out the carpet for the mullah's top man in New York. Soros...

Bump List for George Soros.

The Open Society Institute (OSI), financed by billionaire George Soros, has accused Kazakhstan officials of trying to close down its local office. A demand for unpaid taxes and fines of $600,000 (£425,000) is politically motivated, the OSI claimed, adding that it paid the money in October. The organisation has found itself in trouble after being accused of helping to topple Georgia's former president. It denies having any role, but offices have had to close across the region. Not wanted? The OSI shut its office in Moscow last year and has withdrawn from Uzbekistan and Belarus. In the Ukraine earlier this...

MINSK, Belarus -- The United Nations demanded Belarus free an American arrested while working on a United Nations project in the ex-Soviet republic, but the country's spy service today insisted the man was not protected by diplomatic immunity. Ilya Mafter, who works for philanthropist George Soros' Open Society Institute but was on contract to the U.N. Development Program, was arrested Oct. 15 by agents of the Belarusian State Security Committee -- which still goes under its Soviet-era abbreviation KGB. ADVERTISEMENT Mark Malloch Brown, administrator of the U.N. program, said Wednesday that he had sent an official communication to Belarus' U.N....

Billionaire demands public apology from the House Speaker George Soros, the billionaire financier who has given millions of dollars to liberal and Democratic-leaning advocacy groups, launched a blistering counterattack on Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) yesterday, saying he should be “ashamed” of allegations he made Sunday. Hastert had suggested that Soros’s wealth came from criminals, and in a letter Soros challenged the Speaker to substantiate his claims or publicly apologize. In a tartly worded demand faxed to Hastert, Soros wrote: “Your recent comments implying that I am receiving funds from drug cartels are not only untrue, but also deeply offensive....

I thought this would be quite appropriate after hearing left-wing screams about $200,000 from a Republican donor. How about millions donated by Soros to shell companies and 527s that are nothing more than a P.O. Box. Soros has donated as high as $20M THAT WE KNOW ABOUT. The only problem is that we only know about his donations to groups we're aware of. Soros' "Reform" By James O. E. Norell First Freedoms | May 31, 2004 If there were an illustration accompanying the word "hypocrisy" in the dictionary, it would be an engraving of globalist billionaire George Soros. Soros, one...

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry! On Thursday, May 6, Pres. Bush publicly apologized to Jordan’s King Abdullah II for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib. I wasn’t aware that Abdullah was the king of Iraq. Apparently, when America screws up, our leader must apologize to any and every Moslem in the world, to people who exuberantly support torture, as long as it is carried out by Moslems. I must have missed King Abdullah II’s apology for the butchering of four American civilians in Falluja. King Abdullah is a “moderate, pro-U.S.” Arab, which means that his statements in support of genocidal...

Uzbek Authorities Label Soros Foundation 'Undesirable' 19 April 2004 -- The Uzbek government said today that George Soros's foundation is "undesirable," one day after the billionaire philanthropist criticized the human rights situation in Uzbekistan and said new regulations are forcing the group's office to close. Today, Uzbek Foreign Ministry spokesman Ilkhom Zakirov said if the foundation was not accredited, it meant the organization's activities in Uzbekistan were undesirable. Soros said at a meeting of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) yesterday that the Uzbek branch of his Open Society Institute (OSI) is being forced to close after the...

One of the unlamented developments of this election year is the Democratic Party’s retreat to the Left. Although the media claim the party's voters have learned their lesson by settling for the “electable” John F. Kerry, a cursory examination of the Democrats shows they remain animated by anti-Bush furor. The party rank-and-file may have decided they prefer the sing-song cadences of John Kerry or the charming drawl of John Edwards to the red-faced shrieks of Howard Dean, but the message spread by the party faithful will remain the same: George W. Bush is a “liar,” a “betrayer,” a “war criminal”...

<p>WASHINGTON: He was known as the man who broke the Bank of England. In 1997, he destroyed the lives of millions of people in Thailand through his greed for money. A billionaire philanthropist, he meddles in politics and now blatantly buys and sells countries. He has never been elected to office, but easily uses the phrase "regime change" as an excuse for making even more money.</p>

With Matt Drudge’s recent revelation that John Kerry is as faithful to his second wife as he was to his old Vietnam “brothers,” the senator’s presidential campaign may depend more than ever on the actions of his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry. While the mainstream media has thus far overlooked the alleged infidelity, media outlets have also overlooked a far more important story: The former Mrs. John Heinz is also in bed – financially – with the radical Left.   Teresa Heinz Kerry has financed the secretive Tides Foundation to the tune of more than $4 million over the years. The...

Standing atop Saddam Hussein’s presidential palace, Walter Davis witnessed first-hand the “shock and awe” campaign that marked the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March. Watching as United States aircraft dropped bomb after bomb on strategic targets throughout Baghdad, Davis, a counter-intelligence expert, said he didn’t expect the Iraqi people to cooperate in his search for guerilla forces hiding throughout the country. Much to his surprise, it was Iraqi citizens who were his greatest asset. In fact, the people were eager to provide critical intelligence information, he said. “We didn’t have enough people to respond to all the Iraqi offers...

An Ominous Turn in the National Debate A reported comment by billionaire philanthropist George Soros asserting that the policies of America and Israel are to blame for the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe is sparking outrage everywhere from the White House to the American Jewish leadership and prompting concern about a wider backlash against Israel. Mr. Soros, the New Yorker who made his fame as a money manager and then as a philanthropist, has taken an increasingly high-profile role recently as a critic of the Bush administration. He’s pledged $10 million to an effort to unseat President Bush. He has...

Is the U.S. a terrorist state? Are al Qaeda fighters the good guys? That's what you might think, to read the New York Times editorial page, and some of the humanitarian bureaucrat-activists who, though largely unknown to the general public, have tremendous clout with the Times. An October 16 New York Times editorial (“The American Prison Camp”) attacked the Bush Administration for maintaining its detainee camp for terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Citing criticism of the Bush Administration by the International Committee of the Red Cross, the editorial claimed that Administration justifications for the camp “miss the point,” are “unpersuasive,”...
