The Eye of Soros turns to Europe

This about *default, tagged , was written by for on October 3, 2015

Fresh from helping wreck American cities, George Soros now offers his very valuable thoughts on European immigration policy.

First, the EU has to accept at least a million asylum-seekers annually for the foreseeable future. And, to do that, it must share the burden fairly – a principle that a qualified majority finally established at last Wednesday’s summit.

Adequate financing is critical. The EU should provide €15,000 ($16,800) per asylum-seeker for each of the first two years to help cover housing, health care, and education costs – and to make accepting refugees more appealing to member states. It can raise these funds by issuing long-term bonds using its largely untapped AAA borrowing capacity, which will have the added benefit of providing a justified fiscal stimulus to the European economy.

This comes to around €1,250 per migrant, monthly.

That is higher than the average salary in 14 of the EU’s 28 member states (and that’s not accounting for the fact that at least some of the migrants are children).

In total, the program as stated would add up to nearly $20 billion annually. I wonder what part of his own wealth (which happens to be in the same ballpark), if any, Soros is offering as a contribution.

Even from the (progressive) effective altruism angle, $20 billion is almost equivalent to the annual revenues of Nigeria, Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest and richest low income country. For that kind of money per immigrant, you could hire five to ten good doctors in the D.R. Congo.

Incidentally, Soros – a man who made his fortune in financial speculation – has a long record of making unsolicited suggestions on how European taxpayers should spend their hard-earned money…

Allocating 1 percent of the EU budget to the defense of Ukraine seems appropriate; this would allow the European Union to contribute as much as €14 billion annually to theIMF-led assistance program—a contribution that would be large enough to allow for the European Union to do “whatever it takes” to help Ukraine succeed.

… And that’s not even all:

With the EU’s “fiscal compact” and other rules limiting the scope of government assistance, innovative thinking is needed. The single most effective measure would be to offer free political risk insurance to those who invest in or do business with Ukraine. This would keep the economy running, despite the political turmoil, and it would signal to Ukrainians that the EU and the US – governments and private investors alike – are committed to them. Businesses would flock to a newly open and promising market if they were fully compensated for losses caused by political events beyond their control.

For his part Soros has merely said that he may invest $1 billion into Ukraine.

($100 million!? I don’t have $1o million. What do you need $1 million for anyway? Here’s $100,000. That should be enough to open another NGO in Kiev. Meanwhile, excuse me while I go and bet against the grivna).

If Soros is urging you to do something, it’s almost always a good idea to listen – and then proceed to do the precise opposite and kick his NGO stooges out of your country (like the mighty Orban did in 2014). Weathering the rage and fury of his Western neocon friends is a small price to pay in comparison.

    NYT review by John Gray of Soros book: ‘ In The Age of Fallibility—his most important book to date and a stark warning of the dangers facing open societies today—Soros attempts to explain this turn of events. Much of the book is a probing reexamination of the conceptual frame that underpins Soros’s activities both as an investor and as a philanthropist; but some of its most interesting passages have to do with Soros’s personal experiences of what he calls “far-from-equilibrium situations”—conditions in which accepted rules of human behavior are suspended or destroyed. Such a situation came into being with the Nazi invasion of Hungary in 1944, when like other members of the country’s Jewish population Soros and his family faced mortal danger. Soros survived owing to the foresight and courage of his father, Tivadar, who acted decisively to help the family and many others. “It was his finest hour,” Soros writes. Tivadar Soros, he writes, was mentally prepared for the collapse of normal life by his time in Siberia after having been taken prisoner by the Russians when serving as a volunteer in the Austro-Hungarian army in World War I. He instilled in his fourteen-year-old son the fact that “there are times when the normal rules do not apply, and if you obey the rules at those times you are liable to perish.” Soros describes this as “the formative experience of my life,” and there can be little doubt that it imbued in him a willingness to depart from established expectations and wipe the slate clean each day…’

    “Europe is facing a challenge from Russia to its very existence. Neither the European leaders nor their citizens are fully aware of this challenge or know how best to deal with it,” Soros writes in an article published in the New York Review of Books. “Now Russia is presenting an alternative that poses a fundamental challenge to the values and principles on which the European Union was originally founded. It is based on the use of force that manifests itself in repression at home and aggression abroad, as opposed to the rule of law.” […] The investor and philanthropist argues that Vladimir Putin’s mix of authoritarianism and aggressive nationalism represents an alternative model to western liberal democracies, referring to the admiration for the Russian president expressed by the Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, the president of France’s Front National, Marine Le Pen, and Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán.

    It’s simple. People trying to get into Europe are at the most fundamental level Jews fleeing Nazi death camps, and like Jews they are higher quality people than the indigenous populations. The only way nations can survive is to take immigrants to economically support their decrepit populations. Europe was created to stop Nazis and abolish nationalism whatever the people think and all this was explained to EU countries when they joined. Therefore Orban represents the undercover Nazi face of indigenous Europeans.

    INTERNATIONAL JEWISH CRIMINAL GEORGE SCHWARTZ
    DECLARED EVIL AND MENTALLY ILL BY SOME PUBLICATIONS.

    Thanks for the interesting article, Sir. George Soros aka George Schwartz is an international Jewish criminal who was convicted in France of insider trading. The way he made his billions in currency trading with the British pound is fishy and there are rumors that indicate that he made that money in insider trading also.

    His promotion of the alien invasion in Europe is basically Jewish alienism, a bizarre mental condition common among Judaists. In any case, for any white man to promote that blacks and Muslims invade his country shows clearly his low morals, low culture and depravity. It is no wonder that wnd.com and others have called him “evil” and “most dangerous.” See:

    http://humanevents.com/2011/04/02/top-10-reasons-george-soros-is-dangerous/

    Given George Schwartz’s long list of crimes, such as inciting riots in Ferguson (search online), aiding and abetting murder in Ukraine, etc., it is surprising that this mentally deranged Jewish criminal has not yet been arrested. If there is justice, he should be arrested and put in prison for life.

    I’d like to see some writing about what’s happened in Hungary here. If it’s right-wing populism really is a precedent for much of Europe, I’d like to know how successful it’s been so far. All I can imagine is that a globo-corporate backlash must be arriving soon if it hasn’t already.

    “Huh????”

    I believe Sean forgot to use the Ethiopian punctuation marks for sarcasm. Anyway, that’s my guess.

    BTW what’s with the four question marks? I think Jeb!!! feels genuinely violated (and Columba has agreed in Spanish) when anyone uses more than three consecutive punctuation marks—-especially when that person is not running for President.

    I am astounded that someone who is so clearly brilliant as an investor (which does come down, after all, to a clear headed evaluation of factual reality, e.g., whether the British pound is overvalued when he famously followed Stanley Druckenmiller’s advice to short the pound in 1992) can be so utterly stupid when it comes to giving political advice.

    “People trying to get into Europe are at the most fundamental level Jews fleeing Nazi death camps …”

    Don’t make us laugh.

    The ‘6M & gas chambers’ are scientifically impossible frauds.

    see the ‘holocaust’ scam debunked here:
    http://www.codoh.com
    No name calling, level playing field debate here:
    http://forum.codoh.com

    The “holocaust’ Industry’s Potemkin Villages, aka ‘holocaust museums’ are pure theme park theatre.

    Dare to examine the absurd & laughable ‘holocaust’ storyline rationally, logically, and scientifically and it falls apart like the house-of-cards that it is. Always ask: Who profits?

    The ‘holocaust’ storyline is one of the most easily debunked narratives ever contrived. That is why those who question it are arrested and persecuted. That is why violent, racist, & privileged Jewish supremacists demand censorship. What sort of truth is it that crushes the freedom to seek the truth? Truth needs no protection from scrutiny.

    The impossible ‘holocaust’ narrative allows the racist Israeli parasites to get away with slaughtering Palestinians and stealing billions from the US taxpayers every year, and then demand that US soldiers die for their greedy self interests.

    We can live without them, they cannot live without us.
