LOL Fox

Nothing like soros.com on Soros, eh what?

So financial regulators and French courts, Obama too (who would like to see Soros pay tax) are wrong you say and Soros is a 'misunderstood' do-gooder?

He certainly does well for himself and without concern for the thousands of small investors and superannuation funds who could find their nest eggs rendered valueless overnight through the currency manipulation of extremely wealthy jackals like Soros.

This is a highly secretive outfit with a record of covertly interfering in the domestic politics of independent democratic countries including Australia. That is not something that most Australians would welcome.

Foxy,
You also mentioned that George Soros is a "prominent international supporter of democratic ideals".
The worlds actually a funny place where things aren't necessarily what they seem to be.

Take this article here by Paul Craig Roberts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Craig_Roberts)
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-08-03/washingtons-fifth-columns-inside-russia-and-china

The point I'm trying to make here is that just because a person is a promoter of democratic ideals, doesn't necessarily mean those particular democratic ideals are a good thing.
Whats more important is the hidden agenda that are being carried out under the cover of those 'democratic ideals'.
- And I want you to know it's not a conspiracy theory, this is the real world we live in.

Soros gets away with his open borders policy by saying that people are more important than borders, and that while others are trying to protect their borders hes trying to protect people.

But its all just a big sneaky plan and a play with words to dupe gullible and naive people who will buy into his rhetoric not knowing that in truth he couldn't care less about people themselves.

The big scam is a push for global government.
He undermines other peoples nations sovereignty with an influx of immigrants, and funding things like 'Black Lives Matters' to cause infighting amongst the population.
- Why do you think there is this 'quiet war' going on against Nationalists, and of portraying them as intolerant extremists and sovereign citizens?
He supports all the LGBTI agenda's and therefore promotes this infighting over transgender bathrooms.
A nation divided is one that is more easily controlled, and we're all too busy fighting over petty issues to pay attention to what is really going on.
With leftist causes George Soros destroys other peoples nations under the cover of being a 'good guy' when what he and others of the 'Bilderberg' group really want is complete control of every resource and human being on the planet, and Global Government.

His support for the EU should send alarm bells ringing, you really should watch that video I mentioned earlier and find out what its all about.

As politically active billionaires go, George Soros is one of the better ones. Some of them use their wealth to campaign for legislative changes that make them wealthier at the expense of everyone else; he supports causes he genuinely believes in.

Soros's actions forcing Britain out of the ERM (but not actually threatening the BoE's viability at all) ultimately proved to be a very good thing, as joining the Euro would've been much worse for the British economy. In the long run an overvalued currency is bad for an economy, and it's better to have the market correct that sooner rather than later.

You may disagree with his stance on certain issues, but his views are widely held. The EU, though it has its drawbacks, is supported by most of the population of Europe, and the fact that it has some (though not much) ability to limit the right of states to impinge the rights of people is probably a good thing.

Black Lives Matter is not intended to cause infighting about the population, it's intended to address the serious problem of people behaving as if black lives don't matter. And anyway, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with controversy.

And as for gun control, it makes it much harder for criminals to acquire guns, much easier for police to take action if criminals do get guns, and much harder for someone to start shooting people.

Beach, you are slipping, it took you nine paragraphs to link your diatribe of nonsense to The NSW Greens.
Please explain the links between the Shooter Party (Australia), the Sporting Shooters’ Association of Australia (SSAA), and international gun dealers and associations who have poured tens of thousands of dollars into election campaigns in Australia, advertising and political lobbying. International gun dealers are members or former members of The Shooters Party board.
Please explain the links between the ultra right, the powerful American National Rifle Association, and its funding of The Sporting Shooters’ Association of Australia.
Mr Malcolm David Fuller, was the NSW secretary and “registered officer” of the national Shooters’ Party, he was also managing director of Australia’s largest gun importer, which brought in a large quantity of Chinese SKS assault rifles, one of the two types of weapon used by the Tasmanian mas murderer Martin Bryant.

Beach, are you still a supporter of a well armed private 'Citizens Militia'?

Aidan,

Your buffed up Soros is directly the opposite of the sly, tax-avoiding and politically interfering international currency dealer that is criticised in the news article linked to earlier. This one and there are others with similar criticisms of Soros,

'Gun control' is the antithesis of effective firearms regulation and is concerned with bans and confiscations affecting only the lawful, licensed citizens. People who obey the laws anyhow. You should be aware that it is part of the modus operandi of criminals to break laws. Politicians can duplicate laws to pretend they have solutions where they don't.

A consistent finding by police services after the years of firearm registration is that very few and often none of the gun crimes are being committed with firearms stolen from licensed citizens.

What about you detail specifically how Howard's 'gun control' manages to deter or catch criminals. Because the only people who are affected by the Howard inspired 'gun control' are the reputable, law-abiding citizens who are certified to be such and comply with the mountain of bureaucratic paper shuffling and time-wasting monitoring (of ordinary citizens, not crims!).

Paul1405,

That is your usual silly stuff and red herrings.

I know of Soros but not enough about him to make any comment. What I can comment on is the hypocrisy of some of the left because he apparently shovels money into projects they hold dear. Ranting non-stop against rich people in general, but okaying Soros who is a lefty throwing some of his riches their way. Even our own dear Aidan, thinks the that Soros is "one of the better ones". Shouldn't you be just a little embarrassed, Aidan?
