The Man Who Broke the Bank of England, Spent $24 million to Defeat George Bush, and Never Met a Left Wing-Cause he Didn't Like

The distinguished Canadian journalist Ezra Levant <http://www.ezralevant.com/> [1] has the story in the <http://www.ottawasun.com/comment/2010/09/03/15242561.html?comments_page=5&i d=15242561#/comment/2010/09/03/pf-15242556.html> Ottawa Sun [2]: "George's father Theodore tried to change the family's fortunes by changing their name to something less Jewish-sounding. It didn't help. And soon war came. When the Nazis took total control of Hungary in 1944, the Holocaust followed. In two months, 440,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to death camps. To survive, George, then a teenager, collaborated with the Nazis. First he worked for the Judenrat. That was the Jewish council set up by the Nazis to do their dirty work for them. Instead of the Nazis rounding up Jews every day for the trains, they delegated that murderous task to Jews who were willing to do it to survive another day at the expense of their neighbours." After the war, George moved to London, and then to New York, where he became a wildly successful financier. Forbes lists him as the 35th richest man in the world. You know George. He goes by the name his father invented: Soros. "By collaborating with the Nazis," Levant writes, "George survived the Holocaust. He turned on other Jews to spare himself." And how does he feel about that? Does his conscience bother him? A reporter for 60 Minutes asked him that. "Not at all." "No feeling of guilt?" "No," said Soros, adding that "there was no sense that I shouldn't be there. If I wasn't doing it, somebody else would be taking it away anyhow. Whether I was there or not. So I had no sense of guilt." Got that? It was dirty work, but someone had to do it. Levant speaks of the "moral hollowness" that has shaped Soros's life. He's right, but somehow that phrase seems insufficiently harsh. As if his behavior as a "Jewish Nazi" (Levant's apt term) weren't enough, consider these items from the Soros dossier: "He's a rabid critic of capitalism, but in 1992 when he saw a chance, he speculated against the British pound, causing it to crash, devastating retirement savings for millions of Britons. Soros pocketed $1.1 billion for himself. . . . In 2002, Soros was convicted of insider trading in France, and fined millions of dollars. He admitted buying the shares, but denied it was a crime. Last year, when he made $3.3 billion off the banking collapse, he called the world's financial crisis 'the culmination of my life's work.' This is a man who boasted he offered to help his mother commit suicide. Apparently he didn't see enough death in Hungary." "Soros," Levant concludes, "is a sociopath. But he's a sociopath with $14 billion, and he likes to spend it on politics." Hence the $24 million he spent in an effort to defeat George W. Bush in 2004. Hence, too, the $20,000 he gave to a woman convicted of helping terrorists. I knew George Soros was an evil man. But until I read Ezra Levant's devastating column, I had no idea just how evil. _____ Article printed from Roger's Rules: http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerkimball URL to article: http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerkimball/2010/09/06/the-man-who-broke-the-bank-o f-england/ URLs in this post: [1] Ezra Levant: http://www.ezralevant.com/ [2] Ottawa Sun: http://www.ottawasun.com/comment/2010/09/03/15242561.html?comments_page=5&id =15242561#/comment/2010/09/03/pf-15242556.html [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
