Remember this guy Soros – he furnished the money and people to demolish Ferguson, MO, and Baltimore, MD.  He claims to be a philanthropist – definition –  is a person who seeks to promote the welfare of others, especially by the generous donation of money to good causes.  I don’t think he promotes anything but himself by trying to interfere with our voting process.

NYT: Billionaire George Soros Financing Dems’ Voter Rights Lawsuits

Saturday, 06 Jun 2015

By Sandy Fitzgerald

Billionaire philanthropist George Soros has agreed to spend as much as $5 million on Democrats’ court battles against voting laws passed in recent years by Republican-controlled state governments such as in Ohio and Wisconsin.

“We hope to see these unfair laws, which often disproportionately affect the most vulnerable in our society, repealed,” the Hungarian-born investor has said about the legal battles, describing himself as being “proud” of his involvement, reports The New York Times.

Soros political adviser Michael Vachon said the billionaire has given $1 million so far this year to the liberal research super PAC American Bridge.

Backers of Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has made the voting laws a cornerstone of her campaign, have been pushing Soros to commit millions of dollars to her super PAC. Soros has not done that so far, the Times says.

The lawsuits against the states are being led by attorney Marc Elias, who is the Clinton campaign’s general counsel, the newspaper reports.

This is not Soros’ first involvement in voting issues. His first major push in American politics included the America Coming Together voter-mobilization drive in 2004, in an effort to defeat President George W. Bush.

The lawsuits include attacks on voter ID requirements, time restrictions on early voting that make it difficult to cast ballots on the weekend before Election Day, and rules nullifying ballots that are cast in wrong precincts.

The Times reports that Soros was in contact with Elias in January 2014, while the attorney was exploring federal lawsuits before the midterms and before the 2016 cycle, said Vachon, Soros’ adviser, Michael Vachon. Elias himself refused comment Friday about the lawsuits’ funding.

Soros is supporting lawsuits filed in Ohio and Wisconsin last month, and is helping finance a case Elias and other groups filed in North Carolina last year.

Clinton and Democrats argue that the states’ voting laws affect poor, minority, and young voters, but Republicans say the new laws, enacted since 2010, serve as protection against election fraud.

Further, Republican opponents point out that the lawsuits, also expected in Georgia, Nevada, and Virginia, are being filed to attract minority voters to support Democrats.

Vachon, though, said it is “disingenuous” for Republicans to say the laws prevent voter fraud, which he claims is “nearly nonexistent,” but instead, they are “meant to give Republicans a political advantage on Election Day.”

In addition to representing Clinton’s presidential campaign, Elias’ client list also includes four major national Democratic Party committees.

In a speech in Houston on Thursday, Clinton attacked many of her potential Republican opponents for the presidency by name, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who fired back.

“Secretary Clinton doesn’t know the first thing about voting rights in New Jersey or in the other states that she attacked,” Christie told The Record of Elmwood Park, New Jersey. “My sense is she just wants an opportunity to commit greater acts of voter fraud around the country.”

Walker commented that Clinton’s push against laws that make it “easier to vote and harder to cheat” defies logic and most Americans’ wishes.

Vachon told the Times that Elias first approached him last year about a lawsuit against a North Carolina law that says student identification cards are not acceptable to use as a photo ID for voting, and which ended a program allowing teenagers to fill out a form that automatically registered them to vote on their 18th birthday.

The lawsuit claims that the North Carolina law violates the 26th Amendment, which changed the voting age from 21 to 18. The N.A.A.C.P, the Justice Department, and the American Civil Liberties Union are also involved in the legal case, which is still pending.

This man should be run out of the country.

Following is an interview which tells you what a psychopath he is!

By Silver Shield, on March 30th, 2011

Here is a partial transcript from an interview done by Steve Kroft for CBS’ 60 Minutes George Soros on December 20, 1998:

When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros’ father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.

KROFT: (Voiceover) These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros’ friends and neighbors.

(Vintage footage of women and men with bags over their shoulders walking; crowd by a train)

KROFT: (Voiceover) You’re a Hungarian Jew…

Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.

KROFT: (Voiceover) …who escaped the Holocaust…

Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.

KROFT: (Voiceover) …by–by posing as a Christian.

Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Right.

KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.

Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made.

KROFT: In what way?

Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and–and anticipate events and when–when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a–a very personal experience of evil.

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.

Mr. SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.

KROFT: I mean, that’s–that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?

Mr. SOROS: Not–not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t–you don’t see the connection. But it was–it created no–no problem at all.

KROFT: No feeling of guilt?

Mr. SOROS: No.

KROFT: For example that, ‘I’m Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.’ None of that?

Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c–I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there, because that was–well, actually, in a funny way, it’s just like in markets–that if I weren’t there–of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would–would–would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the–whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the–I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.

Comments:

I find it reprehensible that this man has no remorse for the actions he committed against his own people. His lack of responsibility, empathy or remorse are the same signs of what a psychopath feels towards their victims. I also find it stunning that there has not been outrage amongst the Jewish community against this man for his actions. I mean the Jews are still hunting 80-year-old former Nazi guards and here you have an admitted Nazi collaborator and nothing. The reason why you do not hear anything about this is because George Soros is a front man for the most powerful family in the world the Rothschilds.

Judge a man by his the fruit of his tree. If George Soros does not feel any guilt for his fellow Jews he betrayed in the Holocaust… Or the millions of British citizens he hurt when he broke the Bank of England… Or the millions of Russians that he and his Oligarchs raped in the collapse of the Russian empire… What makes you think he will give a second thought to you or your family when he destroys the dollar for his New World Order?

Every dollar you have in any paper assets is at risk to this psychopath and the Elitist Banksters.
