Normally the prospect of a government targeting a private citizen would alarm me, but George Soros is a gangster. More governments should go after him.
Bloomberg News reports:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban renewed his assault on George Soros, instructing his intelligence services to map what he described as the networks run by the billionaire financier’s “empire” targeting his country.
Intelligence agencies will help evaluate what he sees as efforts by Soros to get Hungary punished by EU institutions pursuing a “mixed-population” continent, Orban said in an interview with Kossuth Radio on Friday.
Orban, who is the favorite to win next year’s parliamentary elections, said Europe is set to be split between a “migrant-free zone” and those in the west who refuse calls to “haul” undocumented migrants away.
Soros’s meddling, largely by way of his Open Society Foundations, has led authorities in Hungary to declare him persona non grata.
A billionaire speculator, Soros is the preeminent funder of the activist Left in America, which means he is the Number One funder of the domestic terrorism that is part and parcel of the Left.
Soros makes no secret of his contempt for President Trump. In January 2016 he said, “Donald Trump is doing the work of ISIS.” Ideas like banning entry to the U.S. by Muslims might “convince the Muslim community that there is no alternative but terrorism.”
Soros favors the decline of the U.S. and spends lavishly on activism to bring that collapse about. He has spent an estimated $7 billion or more on giving left-wing groups the resources to screw up the country.
He has used his vast fortune to topple governments in Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan. He “broke” the British pound, was accused of wreaking havoc on the Malaysian ringgit, and was called an “economic war criminal” in Thailand. A French court convicted him of insider trading.
America is his target of choice.
Soros calls America “the main obstacle to a stable and just world order” and hails Communist China for having “a better-functioning government than the United States.” He says European-style socialism “is exactly what we need” and funds open-borders groups in order to corrode the nation’s culture and change its electorate.
And he’s at the forefront of the Left’s push to undermine President Trump by any means possible — lawful or otherwise.
What do the violent mobs assaulting Trump fans and supporting Antifa and the Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street movements have in common? Money from Soros and the huge philanthropy he has endowed to turn America into a socialist country. Black Lives Matter and Soros-funded MoveOn have been heavily involved in hardball tactical strikes against Trump and his supporters.
The U.S. government can and should use racketeering laws to shut Soros down.
There is a difference between activism and subversion. It’s time to do something about this man.
