Soros Pledges Renewed Fight Against ‘Dominant Ideology’ Of Nationalism, Says EU ‘Verge of Breakdown’
Breitbart ^ | 01/15/17 | Victoria Friedman

Posted on 01/15/2018 11:43:27 AM PST by Enlightened1

The progressive billionaire speculator George Soros has said he will ‘fight back’ against the “dominant ideology” of nationalism, whilst admitting that favoured globalist project the European Union is “on the verge of a breakdown”.

Wistfully writing that Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) once ‘epitomised the optimism about the spread of Western-style democracy’ after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Financial Times described the scrutiny the global progressive body is experiencing amidst a wave of patriotism and populism and the ‘wilting’ attraction of the leftist agenda.

Soros, alluding to the collapse of the USSR, told the left-liberal newspaper: “It’s déjà vu all over again with one big change — the dominant ideology in the world now is nationalism… It’s the EU that’s the institution that’s on the verge of a breakdown.

“And Russia is now the resurgent power, based on nationalism,” Soros said.

The open borders financier blames Russian hackers for attacks against him in 2016, and the country’s government blacklisted the OSF in 2015 for allegedly “endangering Russia’s constitutional system and national security”.

The 87-year-old had considered winding down the OSF before his death but seeing the rise of the world’s citizenry against globalism and progressive interests, transferred $18 billion of his own wealth into the fund in October 2017 and pledges to stay on as chairman for another five years – or longer.

“I think you can say I’m quite lucky with my enemies,” Soros said. “It makes me feel more than ready to fight back and stand up for what is right.”

It’s been the dominant ideology since 1648 and the Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War.

But I guess he figures he knows better.

Hey George, I know it’s a tough concept for you to grasp, but if I’m going to live under laws, those laws are going to be crafted by my fellow citizens.

Now STFU.

Curious about the transfer and timing of $18 billion into the foundation.

The man is a sociopath--completely at war with normal human interests, aspirations & natural law. Parsing his statements reveals the extent of his sociopathy.

It is interesting that I have just published an article at Truth Based Logic, which confronts the perfidy of a Leftist internationalist in dealing with the present patriotic government of Hungary, the nation that first suffered from Soros' treacherous behavior. (Hungary & Internationalist Betrayal of America.)

I will probably start a thread on the subject--that is the State Department aspect of it--by tomorrow.
