I’m glad to get at least some response rather than the dumb wall of denial about Soros activities abroad that most conservative sheeple in Washington maintain, such a silence that it provokes suspicion, as if the WSJ, Economist and NRO all know better than to touch him even if they criticize his domestic funding of the Left. If people do start criticizing Soros’ USG associated or encouraged activities outside of the offices of the American Conservative, they might get a phone call from either Foggy Bottom or somewhere in VA.

Such spectacular bets as his bringing down the Pound (which lots of UK euroskeptics thinks was designed to force Britain into the EMU precursor to the Euro) are not possible without insider information from governments. It’s the same reason Government Sachs came out smelling like a rose when the rest of the Street tanked. Matt Tabi made this point in Rolling Stone (how RS became the voice of the muckrackers against Big Finance raping and pillaging the rest of the economy is itself an interesting question), had the short selling naked bets gone the other way it would have been the worst short sell losses in human history. Instead magically the bets against Bear Stearns were made to pay off.

All I’m suggesting is that perhaps such insider tips to Soros are payment for services he has rendered in Eastern Europe to Uncle Sam and the City of London. Hell, Ukraine is rapidly becoming one of the highest debt to GDP ratios in the world and is paying their gas bills with IOUs. What that means is that they’ll have to sell off all their steel mills or what’s left of them that required cheap Russian gas to stay profitable just to keep the lights on and the frost out this winter. Ditto for Belarus, how has Lukashenko suddenly become more democratic? Yet the EU wants to lend him $12 BILLION and in the past two years suddenly he’s yet another victim of Russian “energy imperialism” in the Russophobe press. My point is, don’t be so easily manipulated.
