On Fox News, there was a discussion about the recent BLM/Antifa riots and Newt Gingrich said that George Soros and his funding of left wing politicians was a major problem. The reaction he received was a little strange and awkward.
Of course he’s right, these riots receive a lot of big-money high powered support, from Soros and likely others who are similar, which is something that should (but probably won’t) be looked into.
Edit:
I was just reading r/politics on Reddit and the people there are acting as though Newt Gingrich literally advocated for the Holocaust.
I'm completely ready to discuss the influence of the Koch brothers in politics. I think that it is negative in many ways, though I do prefer them to George Soros both in how they earned their money and how they spend it.
Though, regarding our recent riots - are there numerous cities around the nation that are being ravaged, burned, looted, with people assaulted or even murdered as a result of Koch funded radicals? Are Koch brother funded politicians deliberately aiding and abetting said Koch funded rioters? No? Then the influence of Koch brother money in politics isn't really on topic.
None of this is remotely true. There is no evidence that Soros is funding anyone involved in the riots. He's simply a mythical boogeyman. And as for politicians "deliberately aiding and abetting... rioters", if you actually cared to look you'd see that violence and property damage has been pretty much universally condemned among Democrats.
The only thing that's being said in addition to that is that some have said that violence is a frustrated reaction to issues surrounding racism and police brutality. That doesn't change the fact that they've condemned violence and still called for the perpetrators to be punished, or that they've publicly advocated purely for peaceful protests. It just means that they've acknowledged the reasons for why people are angry.
Oh yeah, wasn't he a Nazi collaborator or something in Croatia?
Hungary, according to his father's autobiography the younger Soros helped point out the property of wealthy jews on Budapest for seizure by the Germans.
No, George Soros wasn't a Nazi collaborator. This is a particularly pernicious myth. He was born on August 12th 1930, so he was only just 9 when WWII broke out, and only just 10 when Hungary joined the Axis powers. He was only 13 when Germany occupied Hungary.
He didn't "point out the property of wealthy Jews for seizure by the Germans". He, alongside many other Jewish children, were forced to work as couriers for the
Judenrat, the Nazi organisation which controlled Jewish communities across Europe.
As he described in interviews, "The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices. I was told to go to the Jewish Council. And there I was given these small slips of paper ... I took this piece of paper to my father. He instantly recognized it. This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers. He said, 'You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported'."
He wasn't a collaborator: he was a child forced to deliver notices to other Jewish families. And in his own words, and those of his father, he also took the opportunity warn those targeted so that they could try to escape. He didn't even work as a courier for more than a few months, as his family later went into hiding and posed as Christians in order to survive the war, with Soros claiming to be the Christian godson of a Hungarian official, who was also hiding his Jewish wife.
Yep.....we really haven't forgotten or forgiven that and honestly I'm surprised the british didn't just kill the mother fucker after he collapsed the pound.
Currency speculation is no different really from any other form of financial trading; are you going to suggest that anyone who buys and sells stocks and shares should also be killed?
Sure, Soros profited from the pound collapsing, but that was only because of actual fundamental issues that he didn't cause, namely the reluctance of the UK government to either raise interest rates or float its currency. Had it done so, and followed sound economic policy and fiscal advice, there never would have been a crisis in the first place.
In Hungary, actually. IIRC, his accumulation of wealth actually started back then, though he only make a big break through some sort of a scam - I forgot what exactly, just that it had to do with exploiting an economic crisis.
Again, no, it didn't. He was 13 when the Germans occupied Hungary. He didn't make any money from it at all. This is just a blatantly false and lurid claim. When he went to study at LSE in 1947, aged 17, he survived by working as a railway porter and a waiter.
Unfortunately, there is an increasing current even in more mainstream conservative circles that brings up, cautiously, awkwardly, fearfully, the “Jewish matter”.
Because Jewish involvement in leftist causes is undeniable, Jewish animosity(at least written) towards Christianity is known in the Talmud, and perhaps even more inflammatory, Jewish animosity for, or hate for Whites/Europeans is strongly perceived to exist. And you can find dozens of alleged quotations(from Jews) on the internet from the far right confirming these suspicions.
As things go on, many conservatives have begun to accept these premises, reluctantly and in whispered tones.
I find that most unfortunate, but people can’t forget what they observe. Or the patterns they see.
True or not.
As the west becomes more Balkanized, many White right wingers will begin to form a more...20th century opinion on the Jewish people.
I don’t think that’s a good thing. But it is happening.
If you want to say that criticism of George Soros is legitimate and isn't rooted in antisemitism, then it would help if actual criticism of him, as evident in this thread, wasn't based almost entirely on vile antisemitic conspiracy theories.
