Soros Predicts Occupy Wall Street Movement Will Turn Violent, Riots To Bring About A “Repressive Political System”…

The Devil speaks.

Via Newsweek:

You know George Soros. He’s the investor’s investor—the man who still holds the record for making more money in a single day’s trading than anyone. He pocketed $1 billion betting against the British pound on “Black Wednesday” in 1992, when sterling lost 20 percent of its value in less than 24 hours and crashed out of the European exchange-rate mechanism. No wonder Brits call him, with a mix of awe and annoyance, “the man who broke the Bank of England.”

Soros doesn’t make small bets on anything. Beyond the markets, he has plowed billions of dollars of his own money into promoting political freedom in Eastern Europe and other causes. He bet against the Bush White House, becoming a hate magnet for the right that persists to this day. So, as Soros and the world’s movers once again converge on Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum this week, what is one of the world’s highest-stakes economic gamblers betting on now?

He’s not. For the first time in his 60-year career, Soros, now 81, admits he is not sure what to do. “It’s very hard to know how you can be right, given the damage that was done during the boom years,” Soros says. He won’t discuss his portfolio, lest anyone think he’s talking things down to make a buck. But people who know him well say he advocates making long-term stock picks with solid companies, avoiding gold—“the ultimate bubble”—and, mainly, holding cash.

Has the great short seller gone soft? Well, yes. Sitting in his 33rd-floor corner office high above Seventh Avenue in New York, preparing for his trip to Davos, he is more concerned with surviving than staying rich. “At times like these, survival is the most important thing,” he says, peering through his owlish glasses and brushing wisps of gray hair off his forehead. He doesn’t just mean it’s time to protect your assets. He means it’s time to stave off disaster. As he sees it, the world faces one of the most dangerous periods of modern history—a period of “evil.” Europe is confronting a descent into chaos and conflict. In America he predicts riots on the streets that will lead to a brutal clampdown that will dramatically curtail civil liberties. The global economic system could even collapse altogether. [...]

Occupy Wall Street “is an inchoate, leaderless manifestation of protest,” but it will grow. It has “put on the agenda issues that the institutional left has failed to put on the agenda for a quarter of a century.” He reaches for analysis, produced by the political blog ThinkProgress.org, that shows how the Occupy movement has pushed issues of unemployment up the agenda of major news organizations, including MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News. It reveals that in one week in July of last year the word “debt” was mentioned more than 7,000 times on major U.S. TV news networks. By October, mentions of the word “debt” had dropped to 398 over the course of a week, while “occupy” was mentioned 1,278 times, “Wall Street” 2,378 times, and “jobs” 2,738 times. You can’t keep a financier away from his metrics.

As anger rises, riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable. “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”

    That’s not a “prediction”… that is Soros’ goal.

    Soros makes his fortune by economic sabotage and shorting the market.

    Chaos is his lifeblood.

    This isn’t a prediction.
    It is marching orders.

    Barry’s Re-election Campaign knows just how bad it is for them.

    Unemployment is going to rise this month, gas is going up, he’s been caught in secret talks with the enemy, Solyndra, the Keystone pipeline, Egypt is falling apart, we are almost at war with Pakistan, Iraq is collapsing, Iran is pissing right on us, and his approval rating is below 40%.

    Barry’s “American Spring” is underway.
    The SOTU address tonight will be filled with Class War code words.

    And he learned this since his youth, by hiding his Jewish heritage and working for the NAZIS for crying out loud– wanna know how he got his start in the world of finance? By becoming involved in the NAZI confiscation of Jewish property, after rounding them up and loading them on the cattle cars to be sent to their deaths.

  13. LittleRed1 says:
    January 24, 2012 at 9:21 am

    Someday, his picture will be beside the definition of “amoral.” He broke the Ruble as well as the Pound and would no doubt gain a great deal if the dollar collapses as well.

    spepper: wanna know how he got his start in the world of finance? By becoming involved in the NAZI confiscation of Jewish property, after rounding them up and loading them on the cattle cars to be sent to their deaths.

    Soros’ father bribed a Hungarian government official named Baumbach to claim George as his Christian godson and to let the boy live with him.

    One of Baumbach’s duties was to deliver deportation notices to Hungary’s Jews, confiscating their property and turning it over to Germany. Young George Soros sometimes accompanied the official on his rounds. Many years later, in December 1998, a CBS interviewer would ask Soros whether he had ever felt any guilt about his association with Baumbach during that period. Soros replied: “… I was only a spectator … I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.”

    Soros today recalls the German occupation of Hungary as “probably the happiest year of my life.” “For me,” he elaborates, “it was a very positive experience. It’s a strange thing because you see incredible suffering around you and the fact you are in considerable danger yourself. But you’re fourteen years old and you don’t believe that it can actually touch you. You have a belief in yourself. You have a belief in your father. It’s a very happy-making, exhilarating experience.”

    They already have the organization, the communications network, funding, and plenty of Martyrs for Barry, who will gladly “occupy the election”.

    There will be several West Coast cities that will be unable to certify the vote on Election night… enough to stop him from losing key precincts and maybe even electoral votes.

    I said this from the beginning about the above statement. This is what occupy wall street is about. This is why Obama and the rest of the dems are advocating desperately for the protesters.

    I’m with you Sentinel, around my small town justice will be served swiftly. And by that I can estimate at about 3100 feet per second. Like I posted here before. Nothing takes the wind out of an uprising better than seeing your fellow upriser’s head explode before your eyes.

    It will really be a rather one-sided series of “street battles”. The left does not have the numbers or the guts for it. A few over the top side shows in major OWS popular cities, but little else. In other places, not so much. There is a ongoing OWS protest here every Saturday that has a crowd of no more than 20. and at least a quarter of them are the kids that they brought with them. The local paper has not even bothered to cover it more than once. It is laughable

    - – - – - – - – - –

    My sentiments as well!

    As soon as you start trying to ‘curtail’ liberties in America, you are going to have a major problem on your hands, especially this lawless administration.

    You have pushed us to the point of action, and now you are decrying these actions by the Tea Party to be somehow evil, when you encourage OWS?

    You push too far and you are going to get a backlash that you cannot unravel. Then we will take over and deal with your asses, period.

    I’m sure a good part of the military would be happy to be out from under the sissy in chief, and we’re not going to stand for some cheap socialists corrupting our government and our country and taking our liberties away.
