I don't particularly like Glenn Beck, BUT HE IS DEAD ON ABOUT GEORGE SOROS

That post doesn't even begin to make sense. Are you suggesting that George Soros is not corrupt?

 

Funny that none of you American sheep have anything else to say. Your government has been hijacked by Collectivists and you don't even care. Have fun continuing to perceive everything as a Democrat vs. Republican issue as both work together to destroy this country.

ADL goes after Beck for Holocaust comments
Abe Foxman says the Fox host went too far in attacking George Soros, but stops short of full condemnation

The Anti-Defamation League, which just last month honored News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch with its International Leadership Award, has issued a statement criticizing Fox host Glenn Beck for his false claim that Holocaust survivor George Soros was during World War II "a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps."

Soros survived the Holocaust by posing as a Christian in his birth country of Hungary, where, as a teenager, he accompanied his godfather, an official in Hungary's Ministry of Agriculture, while he was confiscating Jewish property.

Foxman called Beck's remark, made on his radio show Wednesday, "completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top."

Beck has been attacking Soros all week as part of a series called "The Puppet Master?" which has blamed Soros personally for most of the world's problems in the past half-century. Writing in the Daily Beast, Michelle Goldberg called Beck's Soros documentary "a symphony of anti-Semitic dog-whistles."

Foxman is conspicuously silent on the whole of Beck's show. And Foxman is careful to mention his own disagreement with Soros on many issues (read: Israel).

The full press release:


New York, NY, November 11, 2010 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today criticized as “completely inappropriate and offensive” remarks by Glenn Beck on his radio and television programs, in which he inaccurately connected George Soros, who was then a young boy, to the actions of others in sending Jews to death camps during the Holocaust.

On his October 10 radio show, Beck described how Soros, who was born in Hungary to Orthodox Jewish parents, “used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then ship them off. And George Soros was part of it. He would help confiscate the stuff. It was frightening. Here’s a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps.”

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor, issued the following statement:

Glenn Beck’s description of George Soros’ actions during the Holocaust is completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top.

For a political commentator or entertainer to have the audacity to say – inaccurately – that there’s a Jewish boy sending Jews to death camps, as part of a broader assault on Mr. Soros, that’s horrific.

While I, too, may disagree with many of Soros’ views and analysis on the issues, to bring in this kind of innuendo about his past is unacceptable. To hold a young boy responsible for what was going on around him during the Holocaust as part of a larger effort to denigrate the man is repugnant.

The Holocaust was a horrific time, and many people had to make excruciating choices to ensure their survival. George Soros has been forthright about his childhood experiences and his family’s history, and there the matter should rest.

 

here's the interview:

[KROFT: (Voiceover) To understand the complexities and contradictions in his personality, you have to go back to the very beginning: to Budapest, where George Soros was born 68 years ago to parents who were wealthy, well-educated and Jewish.

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...

(Vintage footage of women walking by train)

Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.

(Vintage footage of people getting on train)

KROFT: (Voiceover) ... by -- by posing as a Christian.

Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Right.

(Vintage footage of women helping each other get on train; train door closing with people in boxcar)

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.]

Make of it what you will...

 

Irrelevent. This thread is not about Glenn Beck. It's about the CFR and Soros happens to be one of its many members.

 

Wow this thread died fast. Maybe it's because all of you Americans are a bunch of stupid sheep that want to be ruled by a privileged socialist elite. Have fun being poor when the UN takes over and shreds the Constitution even more.

 

It might help if the accuser knew anything about Soros.

 

Everything I have stated about Soros is a fact. Do you have evidence to prove otherwise?

 

Soros is a member of the elitists and is out there to destroy not only america but the west in general!

 

There are those that have called me nuts for claiming that there is a conspiracy to create a one world government. I ask them to kindly disprove my OPs. Thank you.

 

The onus is on you to prove your claim. Four pages in, nothing evident so far.

 

Proof already provided. See the OPs.

 

...and nothing. That's what I thought. Still, nobody has debunked the OP.

 

I only agree with Alex about half the time on issues, but about Becks slander of Ron Paul supporters as "nutty" is true and Beck's slander of MLK and human rights activists is right out of the FBI cointelpro, divide the left handbook.

Sorry but I can't stomach Alex Jones. I'm not a fan of the tin-foil hat conspiracy theories. He's right about some things but others he's just waaaay out in left field.

 

Unfortunately, I did not include Newt Gingrich on the list in the OP. All you have to do is look at the list of CFR members in the link I provided in the OP to see that he is in fact a member.

 

....And here is a list of the CORPORATE MEMBERS of CFR. I guess I could join as a corporate member, its a ridiculously cheap way of influencing the U.S. Government.

If I gave them a Hundred Thousand a year for Five years my guess is I might be invited to join privately.

Thanks for posting that. Very useful information.

 

I agree with the OT. Soros is the devil incarnate a bastion to greed and all that is evil in the world. I despise what the man stands for.

Now Beck is another story. He is not my fav either but the man knows his stuff. He reaches a little but dang, his track record is better than most for noticing trends both bad and good.

Oh you think it's the RW that manipulates peasants with pitchforks into pushing people into ovens? Hilarious and thoroughly naïve.

 

Prescient post.
