Billionaire financier and liberal activist George Soros has been financially linked to LightSquared, which is at the center of allegations that the White House pressured a Pentagon commander to change his prepared congressional testimony to benefit the Virginia-based telecom company that once received a $90,000 investment from President Obama.

LightSquared is seeking to establish a new wireless broadband network that many, including Air Force Gen. William Shelton, believe could interfere with critical GPS systems used by the U.S. military. But Shelton, head of Space Command, confided to lawmakers that he thought his testimony had been leaked to LightSquared, and that he had rejected requests from the White House to downplay his concerns.

No question that this why Soros backed Obama’s run, to use his presidency to make us much money as possible.

Every one on Obama’s moves that has had financial implications, you can be sure that Soros is behind it.

Soros has probably made tens of millions of dollars since Obama became president and we still don’t know who shorted the American dollar that one day.

Question: What happens when Soros gets old and dies of old age... where does the money go? And could it be used politically to our disadvantage or would it be the end of his engagement of poltical activities against America and the right?

I miss the Soros Magnets that Glenn Beck used to use, but I can agree with Beck that it was getting old because it always led (correctly and accurately) back to Soros...

Soros is one scary guy, and a spooky dude.

The real serious matter is the attempt to set up a system that poses serious disruption to the Nations GPS functioning. Soros is the real life Dr. Strangelove with loads of money to buy people including I think many congresspersons and probably/no doubt a POTUSA. Throw in a few court justices in that concern. It is beyond any open rational that this man could become a USA citizen after his known Nazi collaboration. I understand he has two sons who are active in his empire.

Obama makes President Warren G. Harding's “Teapot Dome” scandal of the early 1920’s and President Richard M. Nixon's “Watergate” scandal of the 1970’s look like playtime at a kindergarten.

Yesterday I was at a gathering of people , I sked several about their felings on Fast and Furious, Solyndra, and Light squared, and not one of them had ever heard of any of them.

Was I just with a group who is ignorant of what is going on or is it that the Media has been successful in hiding the facts of these cases so well.

It as hard for me to believe that they had never heard of the Gunwalker.

How could 'that' be?

Of course - and more to point - with Obama being, in truth, Soros's shadow; how could it NOT be...

Yes, I do too. He is available, of course at http://web.gbtv.com/. . By way of a reasonably priced subscription service. ($4.95/mo.)

Have not done this yet myself - liked that effortless Fox News time slot and on my TV/LOL. Loved the fact that you knew all in White House, grinding their molars...while the red phone sat silent.

That said; am considering a trial run per this new format; just have not - yet. Perhaps I will do this today - now that you brought him up. ;~)

(excerpt)

LightSquared is this company that is in competition with the military over GPS and the administration is accused of having witnesses doctor their testimony in favor of the company that has financial connections to Obama. Ninety thousand dollars on the day they got FCC approval. Oh, and it’s just a coincidence here that Obama’s Department of Justice made big noise about not supporting the AT&T T-Mobile merger. AT&T is a major competitor of LightSquared. But see, this is exactly the kinds of things Marxists do. When it’s their own money, they are the biggest capitalists you’ve ever seen. When it’s their own money, they don’t spend it; they invest it, they grow it, they make all kinds of behind-the-scenes, under-the-door, backdoor deals. They do all of this crony stuff that they’re out there accusing people who aren’t doing it of doing it. When it’s their own money, whoa ho-ho-ho. And that’s pure Marxism.

Are We The People supposed to believe that no one in power has the proof that will put Soros in prison for Life?
