When the Democrats and Republicans held their conventions in 2000, Soros held Shadow Party conventions in the same cities, at the same time. Republican Senator John McCain was the keynote speaker at the “Soros Convention” (so labelled by the late Robert Novak) in Philadelphia.
Soros has dirtied both sides of the aisle, trust me. And if that weren’t bad enough, he has long held connections with the CIA.
And I musn’t forget to mention Soros’ involvement with the LSM (Lame Stream Media), the entertainment industry (e.g. he owns 2.6 million shares of Time Warner), and the various political advertising organizations he funnels millions to.
As Matthew Vadum writes, “The liberal billionaire-turned-philanthropist has been buying up media properties for years in order to drive home his message to the American public that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too stupid to decide for themselves how to run their own lives.”
Richard Poe writes, “Soros’ private philanthropy, totaling nearly $5 billion, continues undermining America’s traditional Western values. His giving has provided funding of abortion rights, atheism, drug legalization, sex education, euthanasia, feminism, gun control, globalization, mass immigration, gay marriage and other radical experiments
in social engineering.”
Some of the many NGOs (None Government Organizations) that Soros funds with his billions are: MoveOn.org, the Apollo Alliance, Media Matters for America, the Tides Foundation, the ACLU, ACORN, PDIA (Project on Death In America), La Raza, and many more. For a more complete list, with brief descriptions of the NGOs, go to DiscoverTheNetworks.org.
Poe continues, “Through his global web of Open Society Institutes and Open Society Foundations, Soros has spent 25 years recruiting, training, indoctrinating and installing a network of loyal operatives in 50 countries, placing them in positions of influence and power in media, government, finance and academia.”
As I’ve said before, America currently faces the greatest challenge to its existence as a free republic since the Civil War. And as we go, so goes the world.
So is Soros to blame for all of America’s woes?
Without Soros, would the Saul Alinsky Chicago machine still be rolling? Would SEIU, ACORN, and La Raza still be pursuing their nefarious activities? Would Big Money and lobbyists still be corrupting government? Would our college campuses still be retirement homes for 1960s radicals? Yes, yes, yes, and yes—but to much less of a degree.
The purpose of this article is to point out that without the financial skullduggery and Machiavellian manipulations of Soros, America would be a considerably safer, saner, and stabler place to live.

That is shocking to have never heard of him before, you must still be new to the "game". No offense but you are probably still in or just out of college where the soros idealogy is treated as gospel. You know him, you just didn't know it. There are professors who do not preach the dogma, but they are becoming rarer.

No offense taken.
Apparently I was attending my University when Soros was just coming onto the scene in the West. He had just published his first book at that time, so it's no surprise that his name never came up once while I was there.
In the time since then, I rarely have given too much research in depth on anything more recent than 3500 years old. My interest in topics du jour on ATS is relatively new, and thus limited to some of the more commonly known topics, so perhaps I am indeed coming to the table anew.
Although let it be said that Soros certainly stays out of the Mainstream Media limelight, compared to the rest on the Forbes 50 list.
However, I am very familiar with the groups that Soros has funded. If I had known his name before, I would have recognized his personal endorsement of my State's Death With Dignity, Medical Marijuana, and Commercial Hemp Laws. I am also very familiar with MoveOn, Democracy Alliance and FactCheck.org that he founded.
So, as you had pointed out, I am indeed philosophically aligned with the benefactors of his philanthropy, which perhaps makes it all the more peculiar I never paid the name any attention before. However, I do think there are some serious questions as to his motivations for that philanthropy.
The concept of Soros playing Political Hegelianism and profiteering off of it, does merit some serious attention and scrutiny brought to bear in his general direction.

Au contraire good sir. Soros is one of the few people in the world who actually use their wealth to try and aid society and prevent this civilization from crumbling like Rome.
While the Gates's fritter away their money on Africa to avoid taxes, Soros used his wealth to Crucially aid the fall of Communism in Easter Europe. Read that again and tell me he is a horrible, evil man. He uses his money to bring down corrupt regimes, it simply happens that the US has become one and needs to be brought down.
I don't quite understand the point of your post, as aside from a few quotes it then delves into something that has nothing to do with him causing economic downfall? Perhaps you should read a little more about the good Mr. Soros and then come back and tell us he is responsible for all the worlds ills...
Despite working as an investor and currency speculator, he argues that the current system of financial speculation undermines healthy economic development in many underdeveloped countries. Soros blames many of the world's problems on the failures inherent in what he characterizes as market fundamentalism. His opposition to many aspects of globalization has made him a controversial figure.
In August 2009, Soros donated $35 million to the state of New York to be ear-marked for under-privileged children and given to parents who had benefit cards at the rate of $200 per child aged 3 through 17, with no limit as to the number of children that qualified.
As for your attempt to paint him as an anti-semite or traitor to his race somehow:
There is a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. The policies of the Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute to that. It's not specifically anti-Semitism, but it does manifest itself in anti-Semitism as well. I'm critical of those policies... If we change that direction, then anti-Semitism also will diminish. I can't see how one could confront it directly... I'm also very concerned about my own role because the new anti-Semitism holds that the Jews rule the world... As an unintended consequence of my actions... I also contribute to that image.

What a horrifying composite of this person George Soros.
I'm interested in hearing some rebuttals from the other side if there are any.
I am now in the process of concluding that George Soros must be one of, if not the only, "benefactor" behind 9/11 and its anticipated, far-reaching social re-engineering results.

Just like I had expressed to TrueAmarican, I believe the same people (uh, hum...George) that funded much of 9/11, are also helping to fund 9/11 Truthers.
Take a looky:

You'll see.
They definitely like chaos and achieve that by playing both sides of the coin thats for sure.

No, I don't work for an NGO you silly person, I dabble in Architecture and other things. If you took the slightest look at the threads I've had featured on this site, you would think twice before insinuating that I am a mole promoting ignorance.

Just silently keep an eye on the Man, and the next time you come across somkething that has a conspiratorial twist and angle, do a quick search and you will discover that Soros is in some way involved.
