Are George Soros and the Democrats Manipulating the Economy for Political Gain

This is a repost from a post of mine from last January. In light of the last few weeks, it does make you wonder.

A friend of mine, Ryan, who blogs at Pro Patria, sent me this article about George Soros. We already know about how the Democrats are hoping for failure in Iraq because they have their political futures riding on it, but this article sheds some light on a truly insidious hope for economic failure in the United States by the likes of George Soros. The title of the article, “Soros bets on U.S. Economic Collapse”, should tell you all you need to know.

Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama favor government support for people losing their homes because they can’t repay their subprime mortgages. But what about the financial wheeler-dealers in the hedge fund industry who may stand to make billions of dollars from this terrible debacle? Foremost among them is billionaire hedge fund operator George Soros, who has committed his life and immense financial resources to bringing the Democrats to power in the White House. 

 Democrats believe it is the government’s responsibility to bail out the people who should never been allowed to buy houses in the first place. They believe it is the government’s responsibility to reward people who made bad decisions with their money and bought houses they couldn’t afford. It’s not. Yet, do the Democrats have a problem with George Soros making billions of dollars off of these chumps? NO! George Soros is a monnbat’s moonbat and he has made it his mission statement to support all Democrat candidates, the more moonbaterish the candidate, the better.

 Democrats say that President Bush’s tax cuts only helped the rich, and that the rich don’t pay enough taxes, yet they remain silent on George Soros making billions, that’s billions with a “B”, off of these poor saps who didn’t realize what they were getting themselves into. If they really believed in the working class getting screwed by the rich, instead of bailing out the people who bought these homes, shouldn’t they be going after people like Soros who are making all this money from these people? Yes, but Soros turns around and takes some of the money he makes from the hedge funds that exploit the working class, and gives it to Democrats. The Democrats turn around and give the working class a big FUCK YOU by taking money from the type of person that they supposedly are fighting against.

 George Soros isn’t alone though.

Ties to the controversial and mysterious hedge fund industry could become a major problem for the Democratic Party. Hedge fund money “appears to be tilting toward the Democrats of late,” the New York Times reported last year. 

 Many Democrats are involved with hedge funds, including a Clinton.

 Chelsea Clinton took a job in 2006 with Avenue Capital Group, a hedge fund whose founder, Marc Lasry, has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to the national Democratic Party and many of its candidates.

 John Edwards, champion of the poor, week, and disenfranchised also joined a hedge fund that made money from the sub prime mortgage industry, one of the same entities he vows to fight as president.

“The hedge fund that employed John Edwards markedly expanded its subprime lending business while he worked there, becoming a major player in the high-risk mortgage sector Edwards has pilloried in his presidential campaign.”

 This is amazing, isn’t it? What a hypocrite John Edwards is! He is making millions off of the same people he claims he will help if elected president. Remember what his excuse was when he was called out on it? He said he only joined the hedge fund to learn about poverty. How stupid does he think we are?

 But what is equally disturbing if not more, is the way these people benefit from the United States economy failing. Not only do they benefit from it, but they actually bet on it and hope to be correct in order to line their Democrat funding pockets.

The American people should be quickly educated by our media on how very rich people like Paulson and Soros make “bets” on the rise or fall of national currencies and economies. Paulson is now telling investors “it’s still not too late” to bet on more economic problems.

 The article goes on to say that Soros, as a major contributor to the Democrat party stands to collect on his debts if any Democrat is elected to the white house. The article also states that Democrats look to be the beneficiaries of an economy that falls apart, that their election to the presidency may be reliant on it, and that they will also be able to blame the president for the downturn in the economy.

 That begs us to ask this question, if Democrats and their billionaire financiers are making billions off of the slowing economy, betting on the economy slowing down, and can also gain politically while blaming the Republican president, would they purposely try to kill the United States economy for political gain?

 I know how that may sound, but think about this for a minute. These people are willing to surrender a war, and provide aide and comfort to our enemy in order to humiliate a sitting president in the hopes of regaining power. Now we have learned from this article that major Democrat contributors make billions from the sorrow of the little people that Democrats supposedly fight for and then contribute millions to the Democrats so they can fight for the little people that they just fucked over. At the same time they can blame a Republican president and the American people are too blind to see otherwise. It’s the perfect situation. As the article goes on to ask, will the media go after George Soros and other hedge fund managers who stand to profit from an economic recession or even depression? The answer to that question is NO!

 Democrats are already manipulating public opinion about the Iraq war, now they may be manipulating the economy to hurt the working people for the cause of returning to power, and they will never be caught.

 It seems to me that Democrats and their billionaire financiers are playing games not only with the economy, but with the lives of the people they are supposed to be fighting for. The American people remain blind and even worse, uncaring and apathetic. It is the perfect recipe for the stew that the Democrats are cooking. Coupled with the fact that the Democrat’s answer to everything is bigger government with more government control and regulations, it makes you wonder.

 Once again, something bad for America and her people is good for Democrats. So I ask you is it possible that Democrat high rollers are manipulating the economy for financial and political gain?

 I think it is.
