Public enemy #1

 


Update and bumped: Newt Gingrich addresses Fox's attempt to shut him down, and reveals even more details about Soros' networks.

I have attempted to understand what the end game is for George Soros, without anything like complete success. I do believe he is actively undermining institutions and processes associated with responsible forms of popular government - not just populist movements, but all forms of workable, popular government - because be doesn't trust most of the other 7.8 billion people on the planet and he wants to erect some kind of overarching global society run by a permanent bureaucracy staffed by similarly-minded corporate fascists, secure from the meddling masses.

 Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps he has found some secret way to make money from chaos and he's motivated by purely financial incentives, or maybe he's the anti-Christ and is carrying out a program for destroying the human race based on a plan constructed by the father of lies. I'm not sure it matters, anymore, to ascertain his motives. You do not absolutely have to have a motive to prove a crime, and the forensic evidence, alone, demonstrates that Soros is trying to destabilize democracies everywhere, and that the outcome is unacceptable to free people, whatever his rationale may be.

How fascinating - fascinating and alarming - to see FoxNews' clumsy, but apparently successful, effort to silence Newt Gingrich when be mentions Soros's financial support of leftwing DAs.  And how  ominous, yet unsurprising, to see the hydra-headed beast of his political operation continuing to expand its reach.

I have always enjoyed reading G.K. Chesterton, but I confess that I used to find many of his economic ideas naive and even archaic; I was particularly dismissive of his contempt for Big Capitalism. No longer. Great concentrations, whether of wealth or of power, are always potentially dangerous, and when wealth and power form alliances - especially when they transform themselves into a single malign force, indifferent to the will of the people, and ultimately corrupting it - that way lies the concentration camps and the gulags and the killing fields.

It wasn't just Chesterton. No less an authority than Adam Smith said:

“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.”

There is this false narrative that Nazism was a worldwide thing when it was overwhelmingly German in every way. I think for example that German leftism is a form of desperate denial from guilt - 'Oh no, we weren't Nazis, we were on the other side'. FDR persuading Americans to enter WW2 as a 'war against fascism' did not help at all.

Soros thinks he's fighting Nazis. He's not German (maybe a bit deep down), but German leftism is a convenient way for him to rationalise his personal demons. A prime example of why one man should not have so much power - his judgement is way off and has the opposite effect of what he thinks he's doing.

(My wife lived in Germany as a Gastarbeiter through the 1970s and speaks fluent 'High' German. Old Germans confided in her. So I may know more about this than even folks who were stationed there like our friend Rebecca. I have had to wrestle with what our kids call 'Mum's conspiracy theories' and roll their eyes...!)

Heinlein wrote something like, "The biggest danger to capitalism is successful capitalists."

I think this describes Soros perfectly. Add to that he is utterly ruthless and without conscience, his main motivation being the sheer love of power.

I've been calling him a "James Bond villain made real" for almost 20 years (remember the sane LGF? Yeah, since then).

Because he acts exactly like one.

I feel for Harris Faulkner.
She's about the only journalist left on Foxnews and she had to issue that BS statement.
It looked to me as if she was told what to say and wasn't happy about it.
When they cut off Gingrich she didn't look happy but you could see her hesitate, I figured the voice in her ear told her not to let Gingrich continue.

I always felt bad for her when Meghan McCain was on Outnumbered and once a show she had to say, "Meghan, what do you think?"

The sane LGF, ha, the husky bicyclist has been down the road for a long time.

The Lizard Purge was in 2008 (anyone who wouldn't vote for Obysmal HAD to be a raycisst, then the "young earth creationists" went after him for mocking the Creation Museum, or whatever it is, I think it's closed now).

So yeah. It's been a long time.
