... or, perhaps, did not get the memo? I did not know that Soros had sold his silver position. That, apparently, was the reason (or a good portion of it) for the silver price volatility in the past week or so. Screw him I say!

    He's probably secretly buying it back cheaper like JPM.

    He's a driving force behind U.S. socialist movement because of the number of players he provides with money. His fingers are in everything that can make socialism happen as well as those things that threaten it. Of course this is just my opinion.

    Soros is infamous for almost wrecking the British Pound via market manipulation in the '80s. Made a billion or so doing that. He may have also been involved in the Malaysian currency problems as I recall.

    Soros is one guy who runs a fund. Don't believe what you read about the big fish. Skillful big fish didn't get that way by revealing their cards for all other players to see. They only let slip what they want to be known. Often times it is only half-true. Often times it is part of their manipulation game, to drive the little fishies into the net so the big fish can have a nice meal.

    2004 LA Times article (short)

    Supposedly, Soros had messianic fantasies in childhood, but had enough insight to know they might cause him some trouble... He feels better about it having admitted same, now also getting to live it out in real time.

    Beck had him on his show but I did not see it. It's probably on youtube. My Dad said it was quite interesting.

    You can find a lot of his quotes on Google, but I have not read any of his books. In our educating at home we try to use original source documents as much as possible. LA Times article would not count as a 'source document' only a place to start.

    I don't know enough about the man to make any dogmatic statements. He seems like much more than just a billionaire fund manager, though.

    I hear he's a "spooky dude."

    And he has said that "(America) is in the way" of his global projects.

    He uses free market capitalism in his attempt to destroy it. Where else have we heard this?

    He also enjoys playing/toying with countries to bring on certain collapses.

    True about his god-like complexes.

    He's on tape and in writing about all these sick manipulations of countries, politics and lives.

    Soros sells while Henry Paulson holds on to his. Who knows more on which way it will go?

    His "Open Society" group helped fund youth radio projects throughout the US in the early 2000's. He also gave several million dollars to a large number of inner city projects for a number of years.

    he did really good work in eastern europe the last 20 years funding pro-democracy groups. (he's originally from Hungary)
    his involvement in U.S. politics is a different story.

    I hear he snatches the candy out of the hands of little kids just to make them cry.

    I hear he also intentionally drives his Prius through puddles to splash pedestrians.

    I also hear he tried to tip off bin Laden about that Navy SEAL raid but he hit the wrong speed-dial number and got Fidel Castro by mistake.

    The man is pure, socialistic evil, I tells ya.

    WOW! That's like 24 less than the Koch Brothers. Pure unadulterated (not the Ahnold type of adulterated) proof that Soros is a dog-kickin' socialistic socialist!


    I'll bet he believes that quote UNquote "long form birth certificate" is the real deal too!
