Myanmar Regime Seizes Bank Accounts of Soros' Open Society Foundation

of billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundation (OSF) in Myanmar
and announced that it will take legal action against the foundation,
which is accused of violating restrictions on the activities of such organizations.

On Monday, military-controlled MRTV announced that the military had
issued arrest warrants for 11 staff members of OSF Myanmar,
including its head and deputy head, on suspicion of giving financial support
to the civil disobedience movement against the military junta.

The regime also claimed that the world’s largest private funder for justice,
democratic governance and human rights had failed to obtain approval
from the Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM)’s Foreign Exchange Management Department for a deposit
of US$5 million (7.04 billion kyats) with the
Small and Medium Enterprise Development Bank (SMED) in Myanmar in 2018.

The foundation is also accused of illegally withdrawing $1.4 million

Should’ve happened here a long time ago.

The SOB is wanted all over the world for crashing currencies.

His entire political operation exists to keep him from being extradited.

You mean China seized Soros Open Society funds.

China overthrew Myanmar government a few days ago.

Well that’s a good thing. The old decrepit worm has ruined much of the world and the USA with his money.

If china's behind this, then I wonder if the PLA is going to send a squad to pay him a visit?

We can only hope. Why that evil tyrannical POS still draws breath is beyond me.

If they really wanted to hurt him, they’d take out his son. Soros is 83 years old and probably is in some manner of pain that comes with age. He may not mind being taken out.

“Soros is 83 years old...”

I think he has to be older than that. I’m 81, and was 2-5 yrs. old during WWII. I’ve read where he was 12 when he was ratting out the Jews to the Nazis and stealing their goods.

You are correct and I am mistaken. He will be turning 91 in August of this year.

According to Wikipedia.

After 10-15 years of relative peace, we are now back to a cold-war international system. Its again the US vs. China (mainly) and also Russia.

Only this time the globalists/US deep state are as aggressive with regime-change, making color-revolution, and installing friendly regimes as the Comintern ever was.

Here again, I’m conflicted. Not knowing a lot of the detail about the “elected guv’mt” I’m automatically against a military walking in and taking over. If nothing else, bad precedent. But, then they go and take a swipe at Soros. It’s sorta like hearing about a duel in which both guys managed to fatally shoot the other guy. Uhh, what now? At least one of the guys had to be an Ahole. So, I guess one less was a good thing. But, did we also lose a “good guy”? I’m conflicted.
