I've been hearing a lot about Soros from some prophetic type Christian ministers and others who have never been known for being well informed. I got the distinct feeling most if not all of those criticizing him don't really know much about him, just like most criticizing Islam don't know much about it.
So I decided to do some research about him to find out just why this guy is such a threat to humanity and discovered he supports several things that I support, like taking care of refugees who come to America, something I've been involved with for decades. I looked through the many non-profits he supports and found several that I support, including human rights organizations. I found this article to give some balancing considerations which just might show he ain't as bad as people make him out to be - kind of a mixed bag, some good and some bad, just like Trump and numerous other influential people: http://www.businessinsider.com/george-soros-new-world-order-2011-9
I think those who parrot "He's trying to destroy the world" are way out on a limb.
From the article:
"He provided crucial support to civil-society movements throughout the Soviet bloc. He probably did more than any other private citizen in the West to nudge European Communism into history's dustbin."
This is the irony of conspiracy theories that Soros is an evil enemy of freedom--he directly aided the establishment of Eastern European democracy. That said, his global interventions aren't always high-minded. He did blow up the British pound, after all.
He's actually been promoting ways to keep people like himself from being able to manipulate currency markets. I wonder what he thinks of crypto?
