Financial Times Says Give It Up For George Soros

Dealbreaker: A Wall Street Tabloid – Business News Headlines and Financial Gossip:

He’s one of the most well-known hedge fund managers in the world, praised prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ay frequently for his market savvy but the FT has decided that Jorge just doesn’t get the props he deserves.

George Soros has been the public face of the hedge fund industry since long before he made $1bn forcing sterling out the European exchange rate mechanism. The total money his Quantum fund has earned for clients, though, has rarely been discussed – and is extraordinary. According to new research, the 80-year-old Mr Soros has produced $32bn for his customers since setting up in 1973, an average of over $900m a year. Put another way, Mr Soros and his team of 300 have made their investors more than the total earnings of Apple, which employs 34,300, or Alcoa, one of America’s 30 largest manufacturers. When it comes to the hedge fund mantra of “absolute returns”, Mr Soros is leader of the pack.

So whether its via a shoutout on your Bloomberg status, by picking up the phone and giving him a call or telling your friends “this one’s for my man George” when you puff one tonight, give it up for the guy. Other people you might also consider throwing some love at are the top ten absolute return managers, as ranked by the FT, who also suffer from a lack of recognition.

New Soros funded attack on Tea Party
Sacramento TEA Party | Examiner.com:

It should be no surprise that multi-billionaire and globalist George Soros, born Gy�rgy Schwartz, known as 'the man who broke the Bank of England,' has launched a new front to attack and discredit the Tea Parties on with his new website TeaPartyTracker.org.

Soros is a staunch opponent to the Tea Party and their ideals of constitutionally limited government by the people.

'Why?' one might ask that a hedge fund manager would care about a grass-roots political movement such as the Tea Party?


Well, when you say things like-- "“The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States" and he told Australia's national newspaper "The Australian" in an interview from March '09-- “World financial crisis was “stimulating” and “in a way, the culmination of my life’s work,” the answer is pretty obvious.

Globalists like Soros see the Tea Parties and its members as the biggest threat to their societal aspirations of global currency and global governance. Because he Tea Party is rooted in state and national sovereignty, and the founding principles of the United States, globalist ideology is obliterated and is the complete antithesis to Soros' ideology.


So, Soros has to discredit and smear the Tea Partiers as 'racist' and 'violent' to further his agenda which he does so through other sites and groups that he funds like MediaMatters.org and the Progressive think-tank "Center for American Progress." Oh yeah, he also donated generous sums personally and vicariously through family members to Obama's presidential campaign.

Soros to give USD 100 million grant to Human Rights Watch
"New York:  Updated on Wednesday, September 08, 2010, 00:26

Billionaire George Soros has announced a USD 100 million grant to Human Rights Watch in a bid to transform it into a global organisation.

Soros, 80, noted that the gift to Human Rights Watch is the first of a series of large gifts that he plans to make.

'This is partly due to age. Originally I wanted to distribute all of the money during my lifetime, but I have abandoned that plan.

'My foundation should continue, but I still would like to do a lot of giving during my lifetime, and doing it this way, with such size, is a step in that direction,' he said in an interview with The New York Times.

'I'm afraid the United States has lost the moral high ground under the Bush administration, but the principles that Human Rights Watch promotes have not lost their universal applicability. So to be more effective, I think the organisation has to be seen as more international, less an American organisation,' Soros was quoted as saying by The Times.

This is also only the second charitable donation made by any individual for the amount of USD 100 million or more, according to Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, it reported.

"We're seeing noticeably fewer charitable gifts at the USD 100 million level from individuals reported than we did just a few years ago," Patrick Rooney, the Center's Executive Director, said.

The group, which is based in New York, would use the money to expand its influence in emerging power centers, Kenneth Roth, the chief of Human Rights Watch, said.

It would involve adding 120 staff members to its team of 300 around the world.
