He's quite a pusher behind the scenes isn't he!!!

I also uncovered that he's one of the money-laden pimps pulling the strings of huffington post . Naughty George may get caught with his hand in the cookie jar if times change drastically.

Interesting. I was wondering how this nobody Arianna Hufington and her propaganda machine seemingly came from nowhere and now is a Leftist powerhouse.

Soros has his hands in everything dirty and is one to be watched.

Of all of Soros businesses, I can partially forgive the Huffington Post.

One of the few media left who is somewhat open minded to report on medicine, especially non-conventional therapies with slowly rising scientific evidence to support them.

I have no problem with his left leaning and funding of left leaning sites. It sickens me that he has his hands in so many things though.

Found something else interesting about Société Générale Bank in France.

$11 billion bailout from United States taxpayers On March 15, 2009, AIG disclosed that, among its counterparties, Société Générale was to date the largest recipient of both credit default swap (CDS) collateral postings ($4.1 bn) and CDS payments ($6.9 bn), paid in whole or part by U.S. taxpayers.

Greece needs concessionary rates from Germany: Soros


Published on Sun, Apr 11, 2010 at 08:13

Billionaire financier George Soros said on Friday the Greek debt crisis was solvable if Germany agreed that any emerging lending would be made with concessionary interest rates. Current market rates were exaggerated by confusion about how a bailout might work, he told Reuters in an interview. "If Germany was willing to find a way ... of lending at concessional rates, market rates would come down, he said, on the sidelines of an economic conference.
