George Soros: The Forced-Open Society
by Leandra Bernstein
As the world financial system hobbles on its last legs, the
City of London has once again unleashed George Soros to
open the gates of Hell at the present strategic turning-point
in world history. Soros has long been a front man chosen to
subjugate nations by funneling offshore money into corruption
conduits coyly masked as “philanthropic” and “human
rights” organizations. His purpose is to eliminate the U.S.
system of national sovereignty, as he states himself, “Democracy
and open society cannot be imposed from the outside
because the principle of sovereignty stands in the way
of outside interference. . . Admittedly it is difficult to interfere
with the internal affairs of sovereign countries, but it is
important to face up to the problem.”
Not Philanthropy; Misanthropy
During his first criminal investigation for stock manipulation
in 1979, George Soros started The Open Society Fund.
The Fund was supposed to create “open societies” through
philanthropic organizations; today it operates in 29 countries.
The term “open society,” Soros took from his mentor, British
Aristotelian Society figure Karl Popper. Following Popper,
with an admixture of Friedrich von Hayek’s economics, Soros
raised the banners of “open society” and “people’s right to
choose” in order to promote his own notions of personal financial
aggrandizement through speculation, and to campaign
against the modern nation-state.
Asserting that “states have interests but no principles,”
Soros explains that the ideal open society would suppress
particular national interests, while an international political
and financial structure takes responsibility for the so-called
common good. Accordiningly, Soros arms his philanthropic
organizations with cash, buying up key sectors
within the population who are then let loose to overthrow a
government that tries to maintain a “closed society.” If a
nation wishes to control its own natural resources, it’s a
closed society. If a nation wants to develop its economy and
power of labor through tariffs and regulations, it’s a closed
society. Any nation that rejects globalization (i.e., British
imperialism), is a closed society and subject to attacks from
Soros and his shadow government of national agents.
The Open Society Institute (OSI), Human Rights Watch,
the Soros Foundation, the Extractive Industries Transparency
Institute, are all British-style intelligence outfits under the supervision
of Soros. In 2002, Soros admitted to personally
spending over $2.1 billion in five years on his philanthropic
ventures. Of his organizations, he writes, “They work with the
government when they can and independently of the government
when they cannot; sometimes they are in outright opposition.
When foundations can cooperate with the government,
they can be more effective; when they cannot, their work is
more needed and more appreciated because they offer an al-
. In this respect, Soros’s admiration for the UN, WTO, World Bank, and
IFTI (International Financial and Trade Institutions) is notable, as well as
his past and present collaboration with these institutions and their ranking
members.

Bacchae,
on the cult of Dionysus.

ternative source of funding for civil
society. As a general rule, the worse
the government, the better the foundation
because it enjoys the commitment
and support of civil society.”
That same year, George Soros
and Liberal Imperialist (limp) Tony
Blair collaborated on an explicit assault
on national sovereignty, they
launched the Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative (EITI), to
create an international standard by
which nations rich in oil, natural
gas, and strategic metals would
report all revenues and payments
related to these resources. The international
organization (EITI) lobbies
the governments to adopt a
standard for revenue reporting
which allows them to peer into government-
company revenues in strategic
industries. Whatever they view as “closed society” behavior
is brought before the tribunal of the paid-for demos; or,
if the behavior seriously threatens imperial interests, the UN,
World Bank, IMF, WTO, etc., can be mobilized to implement
sanctions. This process of subjecting a sovereign nation to a
fixed international standard of behavior is called, “transparency.”
The fixed relationship among those subject nations is
called Empire.
Blair explicitly stated his vision for such international
institutions in a speech before the UN World Summit in
September 2005: “For the first time at this Summit we are
agreed that states do not have the right to do what they will
within their own borders, but that we, in the name of humanity,
have a common duty to protect people where their
own governments will not.” Already the EITI has 23 countries
lined up to be swallowed into the Commonwealth and
looted. These nations are primarily in the Horn of Africa,
but include crucial states bordering Russia and China.
Yet, many well-meaning people inside the U.S. and elsewhere
have thrown their support behind Soros for his “human
rights advocacy,” rallying to the call of ending “authoritarian
regimes,” and increasing “transparency.”
