George Soros and the Big One

George Soros isn’t well known to most Americans. He should be. He’s very well known in Southeast Asia, where he’s been accused of currency manipulation and destroying the economies of Myanmar, Malaysia and Indonesia in the late 1990s. If that doesn’t jog your memory, or perhaps you’re too young, Mr. Soros was also responsible for breaking the Bank of England in 1992, creating a $30 billion hole in the British economy back when $30 billion was still a bunch of money. And, he and his cronies pocketed $2 billion for their two months’ work. Mr. Soros has dabbled in the currencies of many countries, large and small, across the globe. Eventually, as that country’s currency faltered, Mr. Soros would short the currency, which would create a collapse, followed by runaway inflation and economic devastation. Sort of like a fairy prince who brings good things to all people.

In the runup to that currency collapse, Mr. Soros would set up shop in his targeted country, usually through surrogates. He would get involved in the banking, economic, public policy and social issues of that targeted country, generously funding progressive causes. Mr. Soros preferred socialist countries because their economies and fiscal policies grew out of central planning - slow, predictable and easily outmaneuvered -like England. Dynamic, rapidly changing, free-market economies didn’t suit his particular form of predation. It was too difficult to predict when or if a currency should be shorted, or when to force a government into economic collapse with a manufactured crisis of confidence.

He’s made billions for himself, his cronies and a plethora of shadowy organizations strung around the world. Unfortunately, he’s been operating within the relative safety of the United States for the last 30 or so years, protected from retribution by other countries whose economies he’s been accused of destroying. About 10 years ago, he likely decided that America would be his next big pet project. Yep, it’s a real fixer-upper. But what are his intentions? Is this the Big One, the biggest short of all time? Is he going to destroy the biggest economy in the world to put another notch in his belt? Exactly why is he here in the first place, and why does he care so much about America, a place he detests and whose people he despises?

Mr. Soros thinks America needs to be overhauled top to bottom, that its people need to be re-educated, its traditions are primeval, its institutions are hopelessly unsophisticated and that we’re all too damned fat. If it’s so bad here, why doesn’t he leave? He can easily afford to buy Lichtenstein.  Maybe he can crown himself king and live out his socialist-autocratic fantasies there and just leave us alone. But, he won’t. Instead, he funds manure-sprayers like moveon.org and a whole host of anti-American front organizations that do their best to destabilize the country and instill doubt in the whole American reason for being. There are plenty of places that could use the help of George Soros to pull the population out of the hellhole they call their daily existence. Zambia comes to mind. So do a dozen other countries that could do with a meddling do-gooder. Ah, but Mr. Soros (not his real name) may not be the do-gooder he would like us to think he is.

No, Mr. Soros may be dabbling in American politics and supporting the Marxist demagoguery of Barack Obama for only one reason. Once the US economy has been placed under the firm control of financial geniuses like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Charlie Rangel, aided and abetted by hundreds of well-meaning but hopelessly outclassed dunderheads at the Department of Treasury and the Department of Commerce, our economy will resemble that of 1950s Red China — easily manipulated and easily shorted. The biggest currency short of all time. But, what exactly does that mean to the average working American?

It means waking up early one morning in the next few months (that’s right, George is a busy little guy) and driving past a gas station that displays unleaded regular at $8.80 per gallon. John Q. Public will rub his eyes, thinking it was just a dream - until he drives past the next gas station with the same $8.80 per gallon price. Oh, by the way, that’s the cash price. The credit card price will be $9.70 per gallon. When John Q. Public stops at Dunkin’ Donuts, the small coffee will be $5.50 per cup. The car radio will be blaring the news of a massive currency devaluation that occurred when talks collapsed at midnight between the Federal Reserve and central banks around the world. What talks? None of the news media mentioned any talks. For days, the news media had instead been filled with glowing coverage of Barack Obama eating $100 per pound steak and sipping Dom Perignon with his Democratic stooges, skewering the Republicans for questioning the insanity of his pork barrel stimulus package. And George Soros was there, enjoying the moment.

George Soros hates America with a passion that would scare the snot out of your average New York City socialite. It’s a deep, virulent hatred that’s directed at everything average Americans think is even remotely important, and a few things that truly are, like religion, the flag and the right to drive that 10 year-old pickup truck anywhere you please. George wants the common man to be common - no distinction between one and the other, all eking out a meager existence in a modest little apartment, taking a bus or train to work. This while George and the rest of the liberal elite fly in private jets from palatial home to palatial home.

George has probably already set up his short play. Complex computer programs, twitchy currency traders and pre-arranged execution deals are in place, ready for the triggering events that will collapse the dollar. And when it happens, George will be on a yacht somewhere, or possibly a White House dinner, feigning innocence like a Mafia don attending a baptism during a mob hit he ordered. When the smoke clears and the wreckage becomes evident, George will smile. Mission accomplished.
