Multi-billionaire George Soros has been using his vast wealth at least since 1984 to“build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to theircitizens”, in his words. He has been “credited” or, more accurately, blamed for providingfunding for several revolutions in which his preferred people took power. If you are aleftist, of course you might consider this to be a good thing as the groups Soros funds

to do his dirty work are invariably leftist, including an enormous chunk of the radicalLeft here in America. Here are the top 5 revolutions, some ongoing, which havereceived substantial backing from George Soros.

#5 - The ‘Bulldozer Revolution’ in Serbia

On October 5, 2000, in the “Bulldozer Revolution“, a movement funded partly byGeorge Soros swept Slobodan Milosevic from power. The LATimes reported on Soros’ role, noting the problems it would cause if he were to get too much credit for hisactivities. By providing lots of money to already existing but struggling groups thatSoros believed to be “pro-democracy”, including the student group Otpor, Soros wasable to topple that country’s government.

It’s an accomplishment that Hungarian-born financier George Soros doesn’t flaunt.

Bragging about it, after all, could just make his global democracy-building mission moredifficult.

But the multibillionaire philanthropist quietly played a key role in the dramaticoverthrow last year of President Slobodan Milosevic. His Soros Foundations Network helped finance several pro-democracy groups, including the student organization Otpor,which spearheaded grass-roots resistance to the authoritarian Yugoslav leader.

In a 2003 news conference, Soros owned up to his involvement, not only to the revoltin Yugoslavia but other countries, as well.

“It is necessary to mobilize civil society in order to assure free and fair electionsbecause there are many forces that are determined to falsify or to prevent the electionsbeing free and fair,” Mr. Soros said. “This is what we did in Slovakia at the time of [Vladimir] Meciar, in Croatia at the time of [Franjo] Tudjman and in Yugoslavia at thetime of Milosevic.” 

In 2004, Richard Poe, in Velvet Revolution, USA, outlined the seven-step strategy usedby Soros to topple Milosevic. This strategy, Poe writes, is the same “blueprint” usedrepeatedly by Soros in other countries: Form a Shadow Government, Control the

Airwaves, Bleed the State Dry, Sow Unrest, Provoke an Election Crisis, Take the Streets,and above all, Outlast your Opponent.

#4 Georgia’s “Rose Revolution” 

After Yugoslavia, Soros set his sights on Georgia. Though he originally backed PresidentEduard Shevardnadze, when Shevardnadze met with Soros’ disapproval, Soros soughtto replace him forthwith in the same manner that he had replaced Milosevic. Heprepared for his goal to topple Shevardnadze by sending a young activist to Serbia tobe trained by those who had successfully overthrown Milosevic.

[...] [F]unds from his Open Society Institute sent a 31-year-old Tbilisi activist namedGiga Bokeria to Serbia to meet with members of the Otpor (Resistance) movement andlearn how they used street demonstrations to topple dictator Slobodan Milosevic. Then,in the summer, Mr. Soros’s foundation paid for a return trip to Georgia by Otporactivists, who ran three-day courses teaching more than 1,000 students how to stage a

peaceful revolution.

In December, 2003 , the Melbourne Herald-Sun offered a basic overview of GeorgeSoros‘ Open Society Institute‘s [OSI] impact in Georgia’s Rose Revolution (Radio Islam):

[...] [Soros] backed Georgia’s former justice minister, Mikhail Saakashvili, and spentsome $4 million on a protest movement against the president. His organisationsbrought in experts in “non-violent revolution” from Serbia, gave $700,000 to an activistgroup that bussed in protesters, and financed an anti-government TV station andnewspaper.

It worked. Last month, protesters smashed into Georgia’s parliament, yelling probably correctly that Shevardnadze had stolen the elections a month ago and mustquit. Shevardnadze fled, and Saakashvili looks set for leadership.

Georgian Foreign Minister Salomé Zourabichvili told the French journal Hérodote thatSoros’ Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) were not only responsible for topplingShevardnadze, but had subsequently became an integral part of the resultinggovernmental power structure:

[...] [O]ne cannot end one’s analysis with the revolution and one clearly sees that,afterwards, the Soros Foundation and the NGOs were integrated into power.

Indeed, the record clearly shows Soros’ influence in Georgian policy, and Soros was inno way shy about it. In 2004, Soros, Saakashvili, and United Nations DevelopmentProgram (UNDP) administrator Mark Malloch Brown, publicly announced their pushfor ” governance reforms in Georgia that would reflect the Soros version of an “opensociety“. By 2005, an anti-Soros group arose, somewhat reminiscent of America’s Tea

Party Movement, to protest the “Western” influence that had, in their view, attachedtheir government to Soros’ puppet strings.

The “Anti-Soros Movement” also plans to oust Saakashvili’s government but in aconstitutional manner. The anti-Soros group claims that Saakashvili’s governmentplaces instructions from Soros above the Georgian Constitution.

In October, 2010, critics accused Saakashvili of trying to “rig the political system in hisfavor.” Indeed, the new constitution of Georgia was structured in such a way as toallow Saakashvili to retain power.

It should be noted that the 2004 announcement was by no means the first joint effortof Soros and Mark Malloch Brown. In 1993, Brown served on the Soros AdvisoryCommittee on Bosnia. In 2002, Soros and Brown worked together to gain UN fundingfor people in countries with “bad governments”. In 2005, Brown rented property fromSoros in New York worth $120,000 a year, though his annual salary from the UN wasnot much more than that: $125,000. Finally, in 2007 Brown was appointed ViceChairman of Soros Fund Management and the OSI. This is a cozy relationship indeed.

#3 George Soros Puts A Radical in the White House

A “shining city on a hill”, the United States of America has proven to be far lessvulnerable to George Soros‘ tactics than other countries have been, but though Soroshas been unable to “fundamentally transform” America, in the words of his candidateBarack Obama, it is clear that he played a game-changing role in the election of

this radical leftist who carried with him to the White House a long list of Islamist andpolitically radical influences. These influences have made themselves evidentthroughout the Obama presidency on a wide variety of issues, including anunConstitutional provision in the healthcare law which could, if upheld through leftistjudicial activism, be the key to opening the door to truly socialistic wealth redistributionin America.

In December of 2006, Obama, who by then was contemplating a run for the

presidency, met in New York with billionaire financier George Soros, who previously hadhosted a fundraiser for Obama during the latter’s 2004 campaign for the U.S.Senate.[...]

[...] On January 16, 2007, Obama announced the creation of a presidential exploratorycommittee. Within hours after the announcement, Soros sent the senator a contributionof $2,100, the maximum amount allowable under campaign finance laws. Later thatweek, the New York Daily News reported that Soros would back Obama overSenator Hillary Clinton, whom he had supported in the past.

At the time Obama announced the formation of his exploratory committee, he hadlogged a mere 143 days of experience in the U.S. Senate (i.e., the number of days theSenate had been in session since his swearing in on January 4, 2005).

NewsRealBlog has offered continual coverage of George Soros’ machinations inbringing Obama to power including the driving of a wedge between Catholics andin influencing policy. There are ongoing attempts to push the Soros blueprint, butthanks in large part to the Tea Party Movement, that agenda has been slowed, andsometimes thwarted. The “Anti-Soros” movement in America has thankfully been moreeffective than its counterpart in Georgia.

#2 George Soros: A ‘Founding Father’ of an Islamist Turkey?

In June, 2006, while in Turkey pressing for Turkish membership in the EU, GeorgeSoros was questioned about his role in regime changes. It was already painfully clear tomany that Soros had established himself as, in the words of Neil Clar of the NorthStarCompass, the “uncrowned king” of Eastern Europe. Soros rejected the claim, but his

influence in Turkey is manifest. OSI has been actively studying politics and religion inTurkey since at least the 1990s and setting forth policy recommendations on theseissues. More troubling, perhaps, is that OSI is seeking a new constitution for Turkeybased on OSI values.

Can Paker, the head of OSI’s Assistance Foundation in Turkey, is also head of theTurkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation (TESEV), an organization lobbying forTurkey’s newly elected Parliament to adopt a brand new constitution. TESEV has

commissioned a report on the “essential principles” to be included in that constitution.

Creating a framework of consensus is of critical importance to increase participation andlegitimacy while preparing the new constitution, Ergun Özbudun, a prominent academicon constitutional law and a member of the commission set up by the Turkish Economicand Social Studies Foundation, or TESEV, said at a press conference Thursday inIstanbul.

The commission formed this month will prepare a report on the essential principles of aconstitution, which will also include issues like identity, freedom of conscience,separation of powers, civil-military relations, local governance and decentralization,TESEV Director Can Paker told the media.

Much of this may sound well and good to those of us who may take basic human rightsfor granted, but there is a danger involved even beyond the danger of allowing someWestern investor to determine what’s in your Constitution. TESEV seeks a Constitutionbased on pluralism.

Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation (TESEV) President Can Paker hascalled on the country’s politicians and civil society organizations to adopt a new,democratic constitution based on participatory and pluralistic politics.

“Pluralism”, generally speaking, is the rejection of the idea that something can be (1)held as absolutely true and (2) legitimately adhered to, or valued. An example of something that is accepted as “absolutely true” in America’s Constitution is that humanrights are “unalienable”. The less a Constitution includes absolutes in regard to humandignity, property rights, due process, etc., the more the door is opened forcommunities, regions, or a whole country to adopt systems opposed to these valuesthrough pure democratic voting. One example of this would be Sharia Law.

Why mention Sharia? The Turkish newspaper Sabah has reported that OSI has shownitself to be “pro-AKP“. The AKP is the Islamist party in Turkey.

To many observers, the [2007] election marked another milestone in the developmentof Turkey’s brand of political Islam. The AKP is an offshoot of a more rigorously Islamistparty, but Erdogan and other senior party figures have made little effort to bringpersonal piety into the public sphere.

That has done little to quell secularists’ wariness. Many are convinced that the AKPharbors a hidden Islamist agenda, one now more likely to make inroads into publicpolicy.

“We see the danger of Sharia and fundamentalism,” said Hatice Ozbay, a volunteer forthe main secular group, the Republican People’s Party, known in Turkish as the CHP.“We will keep on fighting that.” 

Will George Soros succeed in his push for a constitution in Turkey that is heavy ondemocracy but low on absolutes that protect life, freedom of worship, property rights,etc., despite the risk of ushering in the spread of Sharia Law? This is still an openquestion, but he is certainly trying.

#1 Soros Funds Unrest in Egypt

In May, 2007, OSI consultant Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh, was arrested by Iranian officialsalong with a colleague Haleh Esfandiari, for allegedly trying to undermine Iran’sgovernment according to the Soros blueprint. Tajbakhsh said at the time:

“The Soros centre’s job in eastern Europe is nearly finished. Its main focus now is theIslamic world, Arab countries, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.” 

This claim’s timeline, at least, is certainly correct. Having become the uncrowned kingof Eastern Europe, and working hard for a government in Turkey that has the Sorosstamp of approval, Soros’ focus clearly turned from Eastern Europe to the Islamicworld.

In April of last year, a Soros-funded organization in Egypt launched a weekly newspapercalled Wasla.

The weekly Wasla – or “The Link” – is being touted as a first for the Arab world, withplans for articles by bloggers as a way of giving them a wider readership.

It is published by the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information and financiallysupported by the Open Society Institute created by Soros, said ANHRI director GamalEid.

The Daily News Egypt reported that “ElBaradei Fever” was an important topic at Wasla.Elbaradei, Muslim Brotherhood-backed, is believed to have attempted to destroy (alongwith Soros) George Bush’s hopes for re-election in 2004.

The first issue of Wasla includes entries published on tahyyes.blogspot.com, anddemaghmak.blogspot.com on the “ElBaradei fever .

Elbaradei and Soros both serve on the board of directors of the International Crisis

Group, an organization that also has connections within the Democratic Party includingPresident Obama.

On January 18, Wasla headlined the story “Tunisia is the answer”.

The issue interconnects all uprises in the Arab world with Tunisian revolution whichoverthrew Ben Ali.

On February 5, Jihad Watch offered an overview of the dangers faced here.

Reports on the role of Islamic movements in the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings haveplaced considerable faith in the “secular” elements of those societies to resist Sharia’sregressive influence on human rights. But one cannot passively invoke as protection theinstitutions that Sharia will attack and destroy once its proponents are strong enough togo on the offensive, especially not when recalling how flimsy the veneer of a modern,secular society turned out to be in Iraq.

Indeed, secularism in and of itself hasn’t a chance in resisting Sharia.

America has a strong Constitution which, though not perfect, has enshrined absolutesthat are in accord with true human dignity and that have been resilient even in the faceof George Soros‘ attempts to “fundamentally transform” our country. Soros will neverbecome the uncrowned king of America as he has done in Eastern Europe. Pluralismmay work for a time in that part of the world, perhaps even with Soros pulling thestrings, but Soros errs considerably if he believes pluralism will hold in the face of Islam. His agenda will be squashed like a gnat in the Islamic world.

In the long history of the world, time and time again we have witnessed that coreJudeo-Christian values which have inherent emphasis on freedom of conscience while

protecting the weakest among us and the liberties that make a strong citizenry though struggles have been many across the centuries hold strong in the face of Islam. Israel and America both continue in these values. Secularism which focuses onpluralism and pure democracy, however, will crumple like a daisy.

Despite the troubling events occurring around the world, much of which is due to oneseriously misguided individual, we are all truly blessed to be able to hold onto the factthat Israel still stands as a beacon of democracy in the Middle East, and America still

remains a “shining city on a hill” heralding the blessings of liberty to a broken,hurting, and sometimes very angry world.
