Just Who is George Soros?

I'll try this again:
George Soros - Discover the Networks

He is like the Captain of the Death Star Space ship...out to rule the Universe. There will be much rejoicing when he takes his last breath.

Problem is, he's got one or two kids doing his dirty work for him.

'Kids' - Hillary

Actually he has two sons who, I think, live in California.

 

[NightFox]

He is your better, he is Jewish who escaped the nazis

So he escapes the Nazi's and then decides to become one?

is that all about George?

Actually, I found the information very informative.

I believe, in the final analysis, he is only human. Misguided by his own experiences, but only human. He has devoted his life, centered it around a philosopher that has encouraged the belief that megalomania, disconnected from reality, is just fine. The evil he believes he started his life out fighting a crusade against, is the very evil he has become.


CR states that for knowledge to be regarded as scientific it must be falsifiable. Plainly then, if an item of 'knowledge' is falsified, it can no longer be regarded as a fact. In Popper's own words, a false conjecture "contradicts some real state of affairs;" "falsifications... indicate the points where we have touched reality" [C&R 116]. What we are left with are conjectures which have not yet been falsified. But a yet-to-be-falsified conjecture can hardly be called a fact, 'a real state of things.' It is rather 'a mere statement or belief' from which facts are to be distinguished.


Remembering that we have been forbidden to regard as certain anything which we may think we know about facts, all knowledge is conjectural; and that our senses are suspect because 'theory impregnated;' we are led to the seemingly inevitable conclusion that we can never know any facts. All we can 'know' are falsifiable conjectures which, as we have just seen, are not facts. Further, if this is the case, we can never find out what is true. For if truth means correspondence with the facts, as Popper assured us it did, and we cannot know any facts, then we cannot know any truth.


It could be argued that this is precisely Popper's whole philosophy. That might be correct. But so arguing would not remove the incompatibility between Critical Rationalism and Popper's espousal of the correspondence theory of truth.


It would also appear that CR conflicts with another foundation of Popper's thought, his realism. "Denying realism" he stated, "amounts to megalomania (the most widespread occupational disease of the professional philosopher)" [OKN 41]. He himself had always been: "a commonsense realist.... I was interested in the real world, in the cosmos, and I was thoroughly opposed to every idealism..." [OKN 322-3]. A few pages later he wrote: "whether our man-made theories are true or not depends upon the real facts; real facts, which are, with very few exceptions, emphatically not man-made. Our man-made theories may clash with these real facts, and so, in our search for truth, we may have to adjust our theories or to give them up" [OKN 328-9].


One must agree with these sentiments. But, if the arguments just outlined are correct, it is CR which is in need of adjustment. For if CR does deny us any knowledge of real facts, the theory not only contradicts realism, it leaves one with no good reason to be a realist. Secondly, if the reasoning in other sections of this essay is correct, then CR conflicts with the fact that, having discovered such real facts as the existence of the works of Karl Popper, say, we can and do have true knowledge of reality. No matter which way one looks at it, CR seems out of place in the mind of anyone who aspires to be a realist.

We often post about him when certain subjects come up. But, just exactly is he and what is his agenda? This article points out a number of things.



It names the Open Society Foundation with a globalist agenda.



He is Clinton;s biggest single contributor with $30 million going to groups supporting her.



He pushes climate change and illegal African immigration to Israel.



His groups have donated $650,000 to Black Lives Matter over the past year.



His groups support illegal immigration world wide.



The DCLeaks exposed the immensity of the Soros-funded Left’s campaign against the foundations of liberal democracies. The “direct democracy” movements that Soros support are nothing less than calls for mob rule.

Escaped the Nazis? He worked with the Nazis, and is damn proud of that too

I think we should look on the works of David Horowitz and his colleagues as something of a modern American history. His bio is on his most informative website. But to shorten it, he was a so-called "red-diaper" baby...in other words, his parents were immigrant Russian Jews who were deep into Communism. He and some of his colleagues were deep, deep into the '60s radical movement and he was an editor of the premier radical newspaper "Ramparts." I know good and well there are posters on here who were alive and well during those days and will vividly recall what Horowitz and his colleagues of the day (who are deeply despised by the leftist/socialist/communist radicals of today) as being a true account of the history of the times. He spells it all out very clearly...and what I didn't know back in the day shocked the hell out of me. He and his colleagues have got the goods on everybody - donors, politicians, college professors, foreigners.

The problem is, people don't like in-depth reading these days ... hell, some people can't read, period. It's a whole lot easier to hit some news site with a short article and run with their interpretation of what was said.
