Soros on the Ropes
Although
multi-billionaire hedge fund tycoon and international political
pot-stirrer George Soros lost big with the election of Donald Trump as
president of the United States and the victory of the Brexit referendum
in the United Kingdom, he stands to lose further ground, politically and
financially, as the winds of political change sweep across the globe.
Soros,
who fancies himself as the master of placing short put options on
stocks, often cleaning up to the tune of billions of dollars in the
process when the stock values collapse, has been dealt a few financial
body blows. Recently, the Dutch securities market regulator AFM
«accidentally» revealed on line all of Soros's short trades since 2012.
Soros's trades were revealed on AFM's website and were removed after the
regulator realized the «error». However, the Soros data had already
been captured by automatic data capturing software programs operated by
intelligence agencies and brokerage firms that routinely scour the
Internet looking for such «mistakes».
Among
the bank shares targeted by Soros was the Ing Groep NV, a major
institution and important element of the Dutch economy. After
campaigning against Brexit, Soros bet against the stock of Deutsche Bank
AG, which he believed would fall in value after Britain voted to leave
the EU. Deutsche Bank stock fell 14 percent and Soros cleaned up. But
Soros’s celebration was temporary. With Trump's election, Soros lost a
whopping $1 billion in stock speculation. Surrounded by his fellow
financial manipulators, Soros explained his recent losses while
attending the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Soros’s
mega-wealthy cronies placed their own bets against smaller Dutch firms.
Those firms included Ordina, an information technology firm; Advanced
Metallurgical Group; and the real estate group Wereldhave N.V.
Beware the Ides of March
The
Soros data release comes at a particularly sensitive time in Dutch
politics. The center-right government led by Prime Minister Mark Rutte
is on the political ropes as it tries to fend off, in an election
scheduled for March 15, a serious challenge by the right-nationalist
Party for Freedom (PVV) of anti-migrant and anti-European Union leader
Geert Wilders. An ally of Donald Trump, Wilders is likely to make
political hay out of the fact that Soros, the champion of European open
borders and mass migration, bet against Dutch banks. The Ides of March
looks favorably upon a Wilders victory, an event that will drive another
nail into the coffin of the European Union and Soros’s mass migration
and open borders dream.
The
Netherlands has not been particularly friendly to Soros and his goals.
In November 2016, Soros's Open Society Foundations, and two groups
funded by Soros - the European Network Against Racism and Gender
Concerns International - advertised job openings for Dutch youth
«between the ages 17-26» who are Muslim immigrants and the children or
grandchildren of Muslim immigrants to campaign against parties like
those of Wilders and Rutte.
Prime
Minister Rutte recently issued a warning to migrants who refuse to
assimilate into Dutch society. Of course, Rutte was not referring to the
thousands of migrants from former Dutch colonies in the Dutch East and
West Indies who had no problem adopting Dutch culture, religion, and
social manners. Rutte, who faces a 9-point lead by Wilders’s PVV, had
some pointed words for the Muslim migrants in the Netherlands. In an
interview with «Algemeen Dagblad», Rutte, in what could have been a
speech by Wilders, said:
«I
tell everyone. If you don’t like it here in this country, get out, get
out! That’s the choice you have. If you live in a country where the ways
of dealing with others annoys you, you have a choice, go away. You do
not need to be here.» Rutte had particular disdain for those who «don’t
want to adapt… who attack gay people, shout at women in short skirts, or
call ordinary Dutch people racist». Rutte left very little doubt about
to whom he was referring, the recently-arrived Muslim migrants, «There
have always been people who exhibited deviant behavior. But something
has come to pass in the last year where we, as a society, should have an
answer. With the arrival of large groups of refugees, the question
arises: will the Netherlands still be the Netherlands?»
Coming
from a one-time committed Euroatlanticist supporter of NATO, the EU,
and the World Bank, Rutte’s words about migrants must have come as a
complete shock to Soros and his minions.
The
exposure of Soros's financial manipulation of the Dutch economy is sure
to enrage Dutch citizens already weary of migrants and diktats by the
European Union. In April 2016, Dutch citizens overwhelmingly rejected
the EU-Ukraine treaty that called for closer ties between the EU and the
Kiev regime. The outcome enraged Soros, who is one of the Kiev regime's
principal puppet masters.
NGO «Santa Claus» now faces many closed doors
Europe
once praised Soros as some sort of benevolent «Santa Claus,» who handed
out millions for «good deeds» to one-world government proponents and
other starry-eyed utopians. However, the veneer of Soros is wearing
thin.
Russia
was the first to call out Soros for his interference in Russian
politics. The Soros plan to destabilize Russia, dubbed the «Russia
Project» by Soros's Open Society Institute and Foundation, foresaw the
outbreak of Ukrainian-style «Maidan Square» uprisings in cities across
Russia. In November 2015, the Russian Prosecutor-General's office
announced the proscription of activities of the Open Society Institute
and the Open Society Institute Assistance Foundation for endangering
Russia’s constitutional order and national security.
Hungarian
Prime Minister Viktor Orban now leads the anti-Soros groundswell in
Europe. The optics of Orban becoming the first European Union leader to
go after the Hungarian-born Soros and his destabilization operations has
not been lost on other EU leaders, including those in Poland and the
Czech Republic. Orban has accused Soros of masterminding the migrant
invasion of Europe. In retaliation for these and other moves by Soros,
Orban has warned that the various non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
backed by Soros risk being expelled from Europe altogether.
Orban
has been joined in venting his anger about Soros by former Macedonian
prime minister Nikola Gruevski, who was forced from office and an early
election after Soros-inspired demonstrations in his country took place
amid a massive influx of Muslim migrants from Greece.
Referring
to Soros's global political operations, the former Macedonian prime
minister said in a recent interview, «He is not doing that just in
Macedonia, but in the Balkans, across Eastern Europe, and now, most
recently, in the United States. Secondly, from what I’ve read about him,
in some countries he does it for material and financial reasons, to
earn a lot of money, while in others for ideological reasons».
In
Poland, where Soros has been very influential, a Member of Parliament
for the ruling right-wing Law and Justice Party (PiS), Krystyna
Pawłowicz, recently demanded that Soros be stripped of Poland's highest
honor for foreigners, the Commander with Star of the Order of Merit of
the Republic of Poland. Pawłowicz considers Soros's operations in Poland
to be illegal. She also believes that Soros's organizations are
«financing the anti-democratic and anti-Polish element with a view to
fight Polish sovereignty and indigenous Christian culture».
Czech
President Milos said, in a 2016 interview, «some of his [Soros's]
activities are at least suspicious and they strikingly remind of
interferences in [countries'] internal affairs. The organizing of what
is known as color revolutions in individual countries is an interesting
hobby, but it brings more harm than benefit to the countries concerned».
Zeman claimed Soros was planning a color revolution for the Czech
Republic.
Aivars
Lembergs, the mayor of Ventspils, Latvia and a leader of the Union of
Greens and Peasants, wants Soros and his NGOs banned from Latvia.
Lembergs argues that two Soros publications in Latvia -
Delna and Providus – have propagandized in favor of Latvia receiving
Muslim migrants. Lembergs sees the migrants and Soros's support for them
as endangering Latvian state security. The mayor believes that «George
Soros must be outlawed in Latvia. He must be banned from entering the
country».
In
neighboring Lithuania, the Labor Party has also questioned Soros's
activities in the country. The party and its parliamentary allies have
asked Lithuania's security services to investigate the «financial
schemes and networks» of Soros because of the threat they pose to
national security. The Lithuanian parties claim that Soros groups
specialize at «not consolidating, but dividing, society».
It
is no longer easy being a meddlesome multibillionaire who overthrows
governments with the snap of a finger. Soros has not only alienated the
President of Russia and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom but now
the President of the United States. Soros is also enemy number one
among the leaders of China. With such an array of enemies, it is
doubtful Soros will have any more political successes like Ukraine or
Georgia. With all of his billions, Mr. Soros now only commands a «paper
doll army».
