Soros Laughing All the Way to the BankPosted on Mar 26, 2009
Not many big hitters from the financial sector have managed to stay afloat, let alone turn a profit, since the economic crisis kicked in, but George Soros has done quite well for himself. Soros made $1.1 billion last year, and he’s not even at the top of the list of hedge fund managers who beat the odds in 2008.

“...and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed…”
Report thishuman nature is a limited if mixed bag of tricks. the scam is successful not for its cleverness but for the constant supply of new marks.
why, in reference to george soros, is the word “acumen” in quotes? soros didn’t invent avaraice, duplicity, laxity or disregard he merely capitalized on the combination. of all the vile bodies in this melodrama he seems an unlikely or innocuous choice of villain. phil graham, wendy graham, bill clinton, mark brickell, ed yingling are some seriously rotten characters and as responsible for setting up the scam as cashing in on it. the long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the $ame object has left the station but another will be along soon.

Fatal was the decision to allow Americans to vote with their purse - in that everyone knows the person with the purse is the one who counts.
Isn’t that the point of the bail out lesson?

Regarding Soros’ “acumen”, I could have “called” this too… but alas, I don’t have millions to bet against prosperity. However, he was not necessarily the progenitor of it either, or rather I haven’t investigated this aspect of the conundrum.
Innocent or guilty…. anyone paying attention could have gauged the outcome…...right? Time to stand UP AMERICA, this is your country. It doesn’t matter what the BS on the ground is…. what matters IS WHAT YOU DO ABOUT IT.
