Subjekt: Re: George Soros

Bwild:

I have read about George Soros before. From very early on in his career he was manipulating currency markets and using money and political connections to undermine governments.

Among the accusations levelled at him are the manipulation of the Ruble and wheat futures in the Soviet Union. Mikhail Gorbachev was convinced by the likes of Soros to let the Ruble float agains the dollar. George Soros moved in caused a massive devaluation of the Ruble coupled with a collapse in the price of wheat. As natural gas and oil prices sunk in the late 1980s the Soviet Economy sank deeper and deeper into trouble, and Geroge Soros made more and more money because he was manipulating currencies. The end result was the collapse of the Soviet Union.

He proceded to cause the collapse of several "communist" currencies in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. All those communist governments collpased shortly thereafter.

He tried to do the same thing in China. However, the Communist Party of China had already heard of what he was doing in Russia, so they moved in and locked the Ren Min Bi against the US dollar. Soros had bet that the Ren Min Bi would collapse like the Ruble did, and instead it stayed pegged to the dollar. Reputedly George Soros lost over $1 billion in China. Ever since China has refused to let its currency fully float against other currencies. They are smart enough to know what George Soros and the likes of him are capable of doing.

George Soros is the ultimate opportunist. When George W. Bush ran for election the first time, he gave him millions. Then 4 years later he gave millions to John Kerry, claiming that George W. Bush was bad for the economy. He also gave $14 million to the Obama campaign.

He is not the only one to do this. Warren Buffet gave millions to George W. Bush and Arnold Schwarzennegger, then he turned around and gave million to Obama.

Politicly, these guys play on the winning team. It is why they make billions. They know ahead of time who is going to win, and they buy loyalty, influence and government contracts with all those billions they make.
