Billionaire investor George Soros has given away nearly $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations, transforming it into the “second largest” charity in the US after the Bill and Melinda Gates’ Foundation. The magnate intends to “leave the vast majority of his wealth to the Open Society Foundations,” the chief of the group’s strategic communications and public affairs, Laura Silber, said, as quoted by AFP.
The investment heavyweight set up the Open Society Foundations in 1984. It has since become the target of criticism among the billionaire’s other projects.
The charity has been accused of inciting so-called color revolutions to install governments friendly to the US – from the Serbian 'Bulldozer Revolution' in 2000 to the Ukrainian uprising in 2013.On Tuesday, the 87-year-old tycoon moved the hefty sum from his personal funds into his non-profit group, the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times report. Soros, the 29th richest man in the world with a net worth of more than $25 billion according to Forbes, had reportedly been working on the transfer for several years.
Seriously folks, how does this scumbag continue to get away with it, around the world?!?!?

I find it humorous the number of ATS members who reduce themselves to vapours over what Soros does, but are totally ok with what the Koch brothers do.
Wake up.

This revelation of such a huge amount of money being used secretly by such an evil entity is truly disturbing.
It's more than enough to buy small countries and greatly influence large swaths of unhappy campers that could disrupt and kill many citizens.
His reputation for buying off and mobilizing many dubious situations around the world earns him a place in the history books.
The interesting part is he is 87 and perhaps failing health is pushing him towards his final big show with fireworks and a parade and that truly is frightening considering his past and present behavior.

So, he is giving his money to groups of individuals who might use violence to force change to the type of society he wants in place? Yeah, I can see a rich guy with a very controlling nature doing that. He may wind up being more of a problem after he dies than he is already. He might actually get taken of his money by the people receiving it too, once they get all that cash, they may dump relations with him and go spend it on whatever trouble they want to cause. Once they have his money, they won't be following his orders anymore, they may humor him along and then do what they want.
