DECLARING FOR PRESIDENT WITH SOROS AND MOVEON.ORG


One of Obama’s most important supporters is the classic ultra left financier George Soros. Soros
has long-standing ties to the leadership clique of the New York branch of the Federal Reserve, the
flagship of the entire system. Soros is also deeply involved in the US intelligence community,
controlling a set of foundations whose activity has been key for subversion operations into with the
former Warsaw Pact and Soviet space. Soros is also the sugar daddy for many US left liberal and
ultra left activists, particularly in the antiwar movement. Without the sponsorship of Soros,
Moveon.org could hardly have gotten off the ground. The characteristic profile of those groups that
are on the Soros gravy train is that they demand an end to the Iraq war, but say nothing about
getting the US out of Afghanistan, since the Afghanistan component is fully coherent with
Brzezinski’s plan for bringing down China and Russia. Soros is also associated with a series of
projects designed to assault traditional moral values, such as his championing of legalized narcotics
to be made freely available, inevitably to young people as well. Soros endorsed Obama at the
Davos confab of global oligarchs in January 2007, just after Barky had announced his bid for the
White House:


“As for the U.S. 2008 presidential race, Mr. Soros, who gave $18 million to Democratic
advocacy groups seeking to defeat President Bush in 2004, said he supported Barack Obama.
But he also said he would support Hillary Clinton if she won the Democratic nomination.”^117
Soros is acutely aware of the fact that the entire Anglo-American financial system is now
descending into a chaotic breakdown crisis. In this crisis, Soros knows what he wants, and that is
savage austerity, sacrifice, and a reduction of the living standards of working people across the
board. Since Soros is well aware that Obama nurses a hate-filled grudge against American blue-
collar workers, he is looking to Barky to serve as the exterminating angel of the austerity he wants
to institute. Here is Soros’ diagnosis of the present world economic depression:


The current financial crisis was precipitated by a bubble in the US housing market. In some
ways it resembles other crises that have occurred since the end of the Second World War at
intervals ranging from four to 10 years. However, there is a profound difference: the current
crisis marks the end of an era of credit expansion based on the dollar as the international reserve
currency. The periodic crises were part of a larger boom-bust process. The current crisis is the
culmination of a super-boom that has lasted for more than 60 years. (George Soros, Financial
Times, January 23, 2008)
Now that the boom is over, Soros wants to clear the decks for austerity, with Obama as his
chosen left-cover enforcer. Soros is the kingpin of Moveon.org, but he is also joined by a phalanx of
other limousine liberals eager to use a left-wing demagogue to obtain a new phase of aggressive
foreign policy, and a new round of austerity and sacrifice at home. This process started in the 2004
election, and it is Barky who is now the beneficiary, since the financier community feels they
cannot rely on Senator Clinton to deliver the kind of bone crushing reductions in the standard of
living which they know they will require: According to the March 10, 2004, Washington Post,


The Democratic 527 organizations have drawn support from some wealthy liberals determined
to defeat Bush. They include financier George Soros who gave $1.46 million to MoveOn.org
Voter Fund (in the form of matching funds to recruit additional small donors); Peter B. Lewis,
chief executive of the Progressive Corp., who gave $500,000 to MoveOn.org Voter Fund; and
Linda Pritzker, of the Hyatt hotel family, and her Sustainable World Corp., who gave $4 million
to the joint fundraising committee.
