Soros also spoke on the changing geopolitical order, outlining his expectations for a rapid decline of the United States, equaled in speed only by the ascent of China's economy since the global economic crisis erupted.
China, he told his audience -- which included Bank of Canada governors past and present and CEOs from banks and corporate giants like Research In Motion (RIM.TO) -- has been unscathed by the crisis and now has a better working economy and a better working government than the United States.
The present world order is on the brink of breaking down, he said.
"There is now a rapid decline of the United States and a rapid rise of China," he said. "It is happening very quickly."
He said that China got to where it is today by looking out for its own interests, but he warned that the Asian powerhouse would have to start considering the needs of others if the new world order is to emerge intact.
"If they persist in their present course, it will lead to conflict," he said, adding that China's neighbors are already getting nervous about its rising global influence.

yes mr soros china is just great, until you disagree with the government and you and your family disappears, its great for the oligarchy and the rich business leaders, not the millions and millions of illiterate hinterland dwellers that dont have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of while living in the most polluted place on earth....
I'm sure Mr. Soros knows that very well. After all he escaped from the Communist Eastern Europe as a youth.
I suspect that none of the Soros haters knows that Soros is considered by the Chinese Communist Party as a serious threat to their regime. They believe that Soros works with CIA attempting to destablize CCP's rule of China. They even used connections to Soros as excuse for internal purge.
I'm sure they have their own Putin to put him back in his place.
No i just get sick and tired of all the china praise, much of which goes on at CNBC.
It is still a shitty, poor, dirty, unfree, hungry, and pathetic place to live for most of their
billion or so citizens. Oh but thats right, the rich oligarcy dont give a shit anyway, hell
they probably hope they die...

So let me get this straight.
Yesterday gold jumps off a cliff when China talks tough about inflation. Today it just sits there when China talks about adding more to its reserves.
It looks like China has the power to keep gold hovering at or below resistance. My goodness, I wonder if they realize this?
It's called....
"Surreptitious manipulation".....
Remember. There is no more gold at Ft. Knox. The only thing they store there is "Short gold at market" COMEX order tickets.
There must be hundreds of pallets stored.
LOL....
Sometimes I wonder if there's a Ft. Knox.
increase on the COMEX typically occur in any market twice in one week?
Well, exclusively for the silver market it did – THIS WEEK. There are
some big players in a short squeeze that are in trouble, and hence the
margin requirements. There was a 30% margin requirement last Thursday
and now another 11.5% increase yesterday. No other market has this kind
of manipulation.

The case of George Soros
By Jan (Honza) Malina
Early life
George Soros was born in Hungary on August 12, 1930. According to his biography Soros was taught Esperanto language by his father who was a lawyer and doctor. It is important to notice that according to some sources Tivandar Soros [alias Teodoro Schwartz alias Teo Melas (search)] was a POW in Bolshevik Gulag in Siberia after the 1917 October Revolution as he probably somewhat participated in the opposition, but the sources are unclear about that. [Of course this would open a possibility to recruit such people - and cases have been known......]
George Soros as a young man traded currencies on the black market during the Nazi occupation of Hungary. Soros lived there until 1946 when he left the country as it was under the Soviet occupation and he, without money and at age of 16, ended up in London, U.K. in 1947. According to claims Soros has made, he left his native Hungary because of the Soviet occupation.
Well, well, well .......
Simply said this must be explained to the American public because these facts are not possible to be true under any normal circumstances. Soros admits to trade currencies on black market but that was always punishable by death during the Nazi era in any occupied country. Also what is important is the allegation that Soros family collaborated with the Hungarian Nazi regime during the WW2.
That would make the whole family [no doubt] a target of reprisals from the victims of the Nazi regime and the occupying Soviet forces would treat Soros´s family very harshly [most of the high level Nazi collaborators were hanged]. The only way out of this would be an agreement to co-operate with the GRU Soviet [Russian] military intelligence or perhaps also with the NKVD [later KGB] espionage.
Young George was able to leave the country, he was able to make it through countless Red Army check points, without a passport that would be valid, without a Soviet approved permit to leave the country, without money and without any outside help.
Soros was not only able to "pass through" these check points but he was able to cross the border to Austria, where the Red Army was also present at the time, and Soros was able to get through the Red Army check points in Austria and "defect" to the West all the way to London, U.K. Un-parallel achievement and because of my personal experiences as a political refugee who had to go through some difficulties escaping the communist oppression, I know what I´m talking about.
I don´t know how this Soros´s "life story" sounds to anybody but this is impossible to happen unless George had a permit and proper Soviet approved passport because if he was so brave to try to run these check points he would´ve been shot dead on a spot by the communists.
His stay in the U.K. and his 1947 enrolment to London School of Economics, and to be able financially support himself during that time, with no mentioned help or financial backing, and to be able to graduate in 1952 at that young age, this all gives me chills where I missed my own opportunities and how come I wasn´t able to be so "fortunate" and to have such "miraculous achievements" in my life.
Soros, after a brief period of working in financial services in U.K., was able to start his own financial institution. What an achievement again. No money at all from the beginning and after just a few years he´s got his own financial company. That requires starting capital, these ventures don´t come easy, these are not hamburger stands but virtual banks with lot of money inside - who supplied the money to Soros or has he won a huge jackpot in Britain ?
Please keep reading, it only gets thicker and better.
Soros and the Perestroika fraud
In the previous Weekly Opinion I was able to present facts about the one Frantisek Janouch, a communist and also a financial backer of the leading "anti-communist dissidents" in Czechoslovakia who were able [by some un-known miracle] to set up an anti-communist [pretended] group called Charter 77. Well, George Soros was the main financial contributor to Charter 77 and also to the Polish Labor Union called Solidarity.
In case of Charter 77 Janouch claims that Soros supplied 1/3 of the total amount of money this Charter 77 Foundation in Stockholm was sending to the communist Czechoslovakia, to Havel and company.
According to my sources the sum of money that was coming to Czechoslovakia, from the Charter 77 Foundation, was gradually rising since the 1978-79 period.
From the first 107,594 Swedish Crowns in 1978 it was over half a million in 1989. [I don´t have the dollar exchange rate from that time but to illustrate how much money it was in the communist Czechoslovakia these amounts were astronomical - let´s say that the CZ Crown was about 0.20 Swedish Crown so it would be about 538 Thousand Czechoslovak Crowns the first year and over 2.5 million CZ Crowns in 1989 - for the people in the leadership of Charter 77 that was a lot of money].
Their secret local support is of course still secret the same way as the STB communist police dossiers of the leading members of the Charter 77 [Havel and company].
We also have to analyze the money flow and where they were coming from. Since Janouch claims that Soros was the biggest contributor to Charter 77 [and according to some sources Soros supplied all together $7 million to Charter 77 and Solidarity in Poland], but Janouch also stated that Soros only supplied one third of the total amount.
Where were the remaining money coming from ?
According to my phone conversation with the wife of former political prisoner and later, as a sort of token for the communists in 1990 [for 4 months] Deputy Czech Interior Minister, Mr. Miroslav Dolejsi [his analysis is worth reading], Mr. Dolejsi received some secret documents from Sweden that supposedly corroborated that Janouch´s Charter 77 Foundation was a GRU-KGB operation.
It is no secret that Mr. Dolejsi was attacked and beaten by some thugs who possibly worked for the CZ secret services and Mr. Dolejsi´s house was burglarized and these documents were stolen.
There are other people who also allege that the money were coming directly from Moscow. Well, since Janouch was a communist and possible GRU agent, this is no surprise at all.
The question is: Did Soros know this ?
When George Soros showed up in Prague in 1997 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Charter 77, he was all for Perestroika and he was praising the false dissident and alleged GRU agent Havel and his friends as the "saviors of democracy" in Czechoslovakia.
It was Soros in his own work who stated that he was present at the meeting in Prague on December 14, 1989 [a month after the "collapse of communism" in CZ and with communists still running the government] where Soros, Janouch, Karel Jan Schwartzenberg [then Chairman of the International Helsinki Human Rights Commission and later Vaclav Havel´s Chief of Staff] met with Czechoslovak newly appointed Prime Minister, a communist and allegedly KGB and STB agent Marian Calfa [who was till then the deputy PM during the openly communist era and remained as CZ Prime Minister under the appointed president Havel till 1992 !!!] and Calfa thanked Soros for everything he´s done for the country.
A communist thug thanks an American ´capitalist´ for helping to collapse the communist regime ?
Another detail about this fraud involves in 1984 uncovered KGB agent inside the CIA Karel Koecher, who, after his deportation from the United States and swift return to the communist Czechoslovakia, started working for the Prognosis Department of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences [Koecher was working there with the today´s Czech Republic president Vaclav Klaus - allegedly his real last name is Russian - Pruzhinskiy, and with the boss of this in fact STB communist espionage directorate Walter Komarek - a personal friend of Ernesto Che Guevara, and with others from the today Czech Republic´s government], and after the so called collapse of communism KGB agent Koecher became Deputy Advisor to president Havel. When this scandal was uncovered, Havel´s people promptly covered it up.
I am simply stunned how these kind of details are not understood by the West as what they are - a communist deception organized and prepared 30 plus years in advance by Moscow.
In case of Poland, we know that Solidarity was an Union and as such its leadership had to be members of the Communist Party ONLY [or communist agents]. Soros was allegedly helping the CIA to secretly finance the Solidarity, when the secret pact between the Pope John Paul II and unsuspecting [deceived] Ronald Reagan was established, and the later uncovered Polish communist agent Lech Walesa [code name BOLEK] and his "independent" Union were able to receive Soros´s money and help, through channels communists would normally shut down in matter of hours. Wow !
In his work Soros recollects about his 1989 Prague meeting with Calfa and says the following:
Together with Prince Karel Schwartzenberg [GRU used many times his Schwartzenberg Palace in Vienna, Austria for secured meetings - according to work of GRU defector Viktor Suvorov - HM note] we went to see Marian Calfa, who was then acting president. It was meant to be a courtesy visit but it turned into a moving occasion. Calfa opened his heart. He said that the last three weeks had really shaken his view of the world. He had not realized how far out of touch his party was with reality. He had had an intimate conversation with Jiri Dienstbier, the former political prisoner and newly-appointed Foreign Minister, and that is when he found out that dissidents´ children had been regularly denied the right to be educated in Czechoslovakia. (Dienstbier´s daughter had managed to get to Switzerland.) He was deeply ashamed and determined to establish democracy in Czechoslovakia. We all agreed that it was imperative to have Vaclav Havel elected president by the present rubber-stamp parliament; to organize a plebiscite would delay matters and create uncertainties. Havel as president would consolidate the "gentle revolution." Unfortunately, the leaders of the party do not agree with me but, as acting president, I have certain prerogatives and I intend to use them,´ he said. He sounded genuine and we were impressed. It was an unbelievable situation: the head of an apparatus of repression which only a few weeks ago hit students on the head voluntarily abdicating in favor of a dissident without an organization who would have trouble winning a plebiscite.
There are several lies in this statement. Calfa was never a president but a Prime Minister, he changed positions after he was for some years the Deputy PM in the communist Czechoslovakia.
The statement of Soros about Dienstbier is as incorrect as ever. Here are the facts about Dienstbier:
Jiri Dienstbier - during the 1950´s and 1960´s journalist, alleged KGB or directly GRU cadre, as communist journalist he was able to travel around the World during the communist era in Czechoslovakia. Between 1958-69 he worked as foreign political commentator and editor for Czechoslovak [communist] Radio, between 1964-67 Dienstbier was the CZ Radio correspondent for the Far East and was in Jakarta, Indonesia at the time when there was [thank God unsuccessful] a communist coup. In 1968-69 he worked as foreign correspondent in the United States, possibly for communist party newspaper Red Right [Rude Pravo]. A CPCZ member since 1958 till 1970. Dienstbier is a founding member of Charter 77, a speaker of Charter 77 in 1979 and later in 1985. After the "collapse of communism" in Czechoslovakia, he became Czechoslovak Government´s Deputy Prime Minister in a government of PM Marian Calfa and Dienstbier later became CZ Foreign Minister. While in his post as Foreign Minister, Dienstbier was involved in various scandals regarding appointing various "former" communists and STB agents [STB foreign espionage section mostly] as Czechoslovak Ambassadors around the World. [report]
So who are you trying to fool George ?
When it comes to simple logic, how come Soros was allowed to set up his Open Society Institutions in the communist Hungary in 1984 and later in the Soviet Union in 1987 ? Such ventures were only possible for communists or communist agents and NOT for an American businessman like Soros.
So who are YOU, George ?
Details
We have to again turn to Soros´s own words from his work:
When I went to Hungary to negotiate, I had a secret weapon at my disposal: the recipients of Open Society scholarships were ready and eager to help. On the government side, my negotiating partner was Ferenc Barta, who was concerned with foreign economic relations and looked on me as an expatriate businessman whom he was anxious to accommodate. He introduced me to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and we concluded an agreement between the academy and the newly established Soros Foundation in New York (Open Society Fund was considered too controversial a name). We established a joint committee with an official of the academy and myself as co-chairmen. The rest of the members were independent-minded Hungarian intellectuals, approved by both parties. Both parties had the right of veto over the decisions of the committee. There was also to be an independent secretariat operating under the aegis of the academy.
Here we go again. Every communist Academy of Sciences was in reality a communist technology and science espionage directorate. These people were part of the systematic communist espionage and subversion operations oriented against the free World.
Soros had to know this. To make concessions to communists is also of interest to show, what kind of "real character" George Soros really is.
And to make it even more obvious we can ask the "true philanthropist" George this following question: Are you happy you were helping the communists to set up such institutions ?
The agreement between Soros and the communist government in Hungary had to be approved by the Communist Party General Secretary Janosz Kadar. Kadar was during the 1950s personally involved in torture and murders of anti-communist opposition members in Hungary, he is a Stalinist of the worst kind and Soros had to know real well who Kadar is. As an American citizen Soros did a great disservice to his country by supporting these communist criminals.
And let´s see another example from the same
Soros´s work:
Then came the stock-market crash of October 1987 and a reporter from the Hungarian radio interviewed me by telephone and asked me whether I was closing the foundation because I had lost my fortune. I explained to him the reasons why I refused to go to Hungary. It was a misunderstanding, I said, which was sure to be cleared up soon. The interview was broadcast and the authorities were embarrassed. I gained my points and paid a visit to Hungary; but, while I was meeting with the Prime Minister, the head of the propaganda department, Mr. Berec, personally imposed a ban on any interviews with me. The ban was broken within the week when Moscow TV reported my visit to President Gromyko in the Kremlin and, according to communist etiquette, Hungarian TV replayed it in Budapest. I was amused.
Amazing, simply amazing !
Well, this is not all, keep your hats on because the bombshell comes now. Soros tried and was able to set up his Open Society Foundation in the communist China in 1986. Read the following carefully.
I went to China [in 1986 - HM note] with Liang Heng, who became my personal representative, and set up a foundation on the Hungarian model with Chen Yizi´s institute as my partner. Boo Tung, Communist party General Secretary Zhao Ziyang´s principal secretary, cut through the red tape and approved the foundation on the spot.
Both he and the foundation got into a lot of trouble as a consequence because his political enemies tried to use the foundation as a vehicle for attacking him. They prepared an elaborate dossier which claimed that I was a CIA agent and anti-Communist conspirator. Boo Tung counter-attacked and presented voluminous information about my other foundations to prove my good faith. That was not too difficult because I had always been very open about my intentions and by 1987 I had also established a foundation in Moscow. Gromyko himself had put the seal of approval on it by officially receiving me in the Kremlin. Nevertheless, some high party council decided to liquidate the foundation and refund the money. It took the personal intervention of Zhao Ziyang to rescind the decision. He arranged for Chen Yizi to resign as cochairman and for the International Cultural Exchange Center, whose chairman turned out to be a high official in the security service, to take over as our host organization.
Again, if you don´t know how the communist criminal machine functions, you will take these deceptive statements from Soros as genuine truth.
Point 1) How exactly, George, can you prove, as an American citizen and therefore enemy of the communists, who was in fact able to set up such institute in China, how exactly you prove to the communist "justice" that you are NOT a CIA spy and anti-communist ? If they want to kill you, they will kill you.
Point 2) How is it possible, George, that the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party fixed the problem for you - this wouldn´t happen unless (UNLESS) Soros is a communist agent himself.
Point 3) To know about Chinese secret police involvement in an American Institute and to continue with such venture anyway is again the proof of the worst taste and probably a proof of being somebody else Soros is claiming to be.....
Point 4) Communists from China refunded the money to an American - Soros ? Are you kidding me ? Communists returning the money to a capitalist accused of being a CIA spy ? He would be lucky to get out of there alive if this was true about him.
Point 5) Since Soros was helping financially to collapse the communism in Eastern Europe, how is it possible that he is still alive ? How is it possible that the for example Russian GRU or Czechoslovak communist military espionage services didn´t send a commando unit to murder Soros for destroying their communist rule, if we accept the obvious nonsense, supported very actively by Soros, that communism has truly collapsed ? These communist espionage people are still there, none of their secret dossiers were ever made public [Supporting data], they are conducting the same kind of operations as during the openly communist era - why then is Soros still alive and has not been dealt with by these people ? And since he was already trying to establish an "Open Society" Foundation in the communist Hungary and Soviet Union, how come he was able to do the same in the still communist China that has never pretended to stop her oppressive communist rule and the hard-line communists are still in power over there ?
Deception, subversion, Russian communist Global strategy. Nothing else.

How about an executive summary next time?
Some succint opinions on the matter?
Copy and paste does not qualify as "contribution," I'm afraid.

George Soros is KGB. Now, read the article.
Soros is KGB?
So, I would suppose that he was in kahoots with Putin to transfer all the wealth of the former Soviet Union to the hands of private oligarchs, rather than, as the history would tell us, working behind his back to further pillage the coffers of Russia into his own hands?
Colonel Putin and Soros...
a teapot full of Polonium.
Okay, you say so.
Regardless, please stop filling these boards with long-winded, theoretical arguments when a simple link would do, or a pithy excerpt. It is called clutter.
I appreciate it in advance.
_________
Addo:
"Soros must have known..." blah, blah, blah.
The proof he is KGB is that he is not dead! Dude, for real? You think Putin is going to waste his time with that asshole? Putin is the richest man on earth. He doesn't give a rat's ass about poor George Soros.
Ever think that Putin wants him alive so that he can remind everyone not to mess around with him? Or that he may be a uesful tool regarding international finance? Or that, in the giant scheme of things, George Soros is a bench-warmer?

As far as the article being theoetical, you may say that, as a defense attorney may say that a prosecutor's case which is based on circumstantial evidence is theoretical. The fact of the matter is that a great deal of evidence, in fact by any standard a preponderance of evidence has been brought forward which proves not only that George Soros is an agent of a foreign power, but that the very same foreign power has staged its own collapse.
You may feel smug in thinking that your worldview is correct, and you may believe yourself immune to deception, but in reality you wish to be deceived, and this is why you dismiss out of hand any suggestion such as the one put forward by Honza Malina, Jeff Nyquist, Anatoliy Golitsyn, Jan Sejna, Stanislav Lunev, Yuri Bezmenov, Joseph Douglass, and other highly qualified authorities, the suggestion that you are a victim of deception, the victim of a well-crafted long-range plan of which George Soros plays a part. In this you are no different than any mainstream political commentator, who insist in the face of all evidence to the contrary that things are not as they seem.
You have been given a concise description of George Soros by Jan Malina, as concise as could possibly be, but because it doesn't comport to your manipulated version of reality which is not reality in the least, you have no interest in it whatsoever.
The written word is not persuasive to you, I know. The reason for this, in 5 minutes and 8 seconds, is presented to you by Yuri Bezmenov below in a video. Will you deign to watch it, or are you so sure that communists who have abandoned such labels have nothing to do with our current troubles?

[edit] Journalists killed reporting on ChechnyaThis category overlaps with that for Russia as a whole. It highlights the link in these extreme conditions between journalism, public activism and human rights activities. In their different ways the deaths of Dmitry Krikoryants, Dmitry Kholodov, Nadezhda Chaikova, Viktor Popkov[134], Anna Politkovskaya, Anastasia Baburova, Stanislav Markelov and Natalia Estemirova all show that the troubled situation in the small North Caucasian republic reaches well beyond its formal borders.
For all who died, or received their fatal wounds, in Chechnya see records in IFJ database.[135] There were those killed in locations near or far from the North Caucasian republic, e.g. Natalya Alyakina, Anna Politkovskaya, whose deaths were also a consequence of the armed conflict in Chechnya.
[edit] 1993- Dmitry Krikoryants, night of 14–15 April 1993, Grozny.[136]. Murdered over a year before open conflict broke out in Chechnya (first between pro-Dudayev and pro-Moscow factions, then with the intervention of federal forces), the killing of Krikoryants was linked to his investigation of corrupt activities of the local regime, at home and abroad.

- Nina Yefimova, a reporter for the new Vozrozhdenie (Revival) newspaper was abducted from her apartment and killed together with her mother. Journalists in Grozny and Moscow believe that her murder was related to stories she had published on crime in Chechnya.
- Jochen Piest. On 10 January 1995 Piest, a correspondent with Stern magazine (Germany), was killed in an attack by a Chechen rebel against a Russian mine-clearing unit in Chervlyonna, a village 24 kilometers northeast of Grozny. Rossiskaya Gazeta correspondent Vladimir Sorokin was wounded in the attack; Piest was fatally hit by three bullets.
- Farkhad Kerimov. Farkhad Kerimov was murdered on 22 May 1995 while filming for Associated Press behind rebel lines in Chechnya. No motive has ever been established for the killing.

Kagirov and three local police officers were traveling in a car near Grozny when they were attacked. The three officers were also killed.
- Viktor Pimenov. On 11 March 1996, Pimenov, a cameraman with the local "Vainakh" TV company was fatally shot in the back by a sniper positioned on the roof of a 16-story building in Grozny. Pimenov had been filming the devastation caused to the Chechen capital by the March 6–9 rebel raid on the city.
- Nadezhda Chaikova. On 20 March 1996 Chaikova, correspondent for the Obshchaya gazeta (Moscow) weekly newspaper disappeared while on assignment. Her body was found buried in the Chechen village of Gekhi on 11 April, blindfolded and bearing signs of mistreatment. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the back of the head. The identity of her executioners remains disputed. According to documents from Dudaev's archive, that came into hands of Russian special services in 2002, she was killed by people from so called "Department of state security of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria" (Russian: ??????????? ??????????????? ???????????? ???).[138][139]. At the time there were strong suspicions that Russian security services were involved.

Yeah.
Thanks anyway, putz.
Orly is a Russian name. Your replies, in fact your interest in playing hall monitor on this subject, are interesting if for nothing more than this fact.
More like I don't want to have to scroll through a bunch of junk to get to something more valuable as an opinion.
Agreed.
Any comments about the Wall Street/Jewish financial aid to the Communist Boleshevik revolution during the first World War?
The Bushes and the Harriman Brothers.
Old hat.
Let's talk finance and economics, shall we, and save the conspiracy stuff for infowars? I love my conspiracy theories as much as the next girl but I would rather talk about it somewhere else.
:D
Actually this is pre-Bush and it's history, not conspiracy.
All the same people. Samuel Bush, Percy Rockefeller, Harrimans, Walkers, Warburgs, Rothschilds and on and on. I know it is history but what does that have to do with the price of the yen?
What does history have to do with the price of the yen?
Very clever Orly. Have a good night. But I warn you. We shall meet again.
P.S. I don't appreciate threats, either.
Nor humor. Over and out.

This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read
Here's a shorter piece for you. Just something for you to think about.
The Symbolism of 9-11
In December of 1917 Vladimir Ilych Lenin tasked his fellow Bolshevik revolutionary, Felix Dzerzhinsky, a Polish communist who'd spent a great many years in tsarist prisons, with setting up and running the secret police organization originally known as the Cheka. Picking up where the Okhrana left off, the tireless Dzerzhinsky emptied Russian prisons of murderers, rapists, and sadists of all stripes to form the rank and file of the new "organs of state security." Dzerzhinsky was a ruthless communist, a man whose every fiber was dedicated to destroying any and all who opposed the Bolsheviks, and he saw to it that many thousands of people were tortured and executed while he was the leader of the organization. He called his methodology "controlled terror," and had the backing of the Bolshevik leadership throughout his tenure as the bearer of the "sword and shield" of the revolution, a tenure which was only ended by his death due to a heart attack in 1927.
The Cheka Dzerzhinsky created was and is a permanent structure. Though it has undergone many name changes over the decades, it has always remained the same "sword and shield" of the revolution, it has always maintained its place of power in Russia and the Soviet Union. Unbridled by the rule of law (it is the law) it adheres only to communist morality, and communist morality, in short, is non-existent. This organization that Dzerzhinsky created, at least for a time though perhaps even today, is said to show new recruits a film of a fellow officer being cremated--alive. His crime? Suspicion of disloyalty. As you can imagine, it is a powerful signal. The organization commands absolute loyalty from its officers and agents, and the only way out, as with any mafia-styled organization, is via death.
Of course, there are many benefits that go along with being an officer of such an organization, just as there are many benefits for those who are members of the Communist Party. Officers of this organization are, after all, involved in not only the enforcement of the rules of the state, but in steering it, as well.
One of the directions in which Dzerzhinsky's organization steered the Communist ship of State was in the use of proxies such as could easily be found in the Islamic world. The decision was taken in the 1960's to recruit and train large numbers of Islamists from the Middle East in terrorism, and this was done accordingly. In 1964 the Soviet politburo approved a 1,000% increase in funding terrorism. This funding was not meant to combat what at that time was a virtually non-existent phenomenon outside of the communist world, but rather to conduct it, to facilitate the carrying out of communist strategy as formulated by Dzerzhinsky's organization, which by this time the world knew as the KGB. Also in 1964, the KGB created the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Thus was created the first major Islamic proxy in the communist world's war against the West.
In the mid 1960s the KGB built and staffed terrorist training camps in Cuba, where they transported thousands of Muslims from the Middle East, trained them in terrorism, indoctrinated them in Marxism, and, after their six month course, sent them back to their home countries to form quasi-independent terror cells. In 1968, the first year these Soviet proxies began "graduating" from Cuban camps, there were just 142 acts of terrorism worldwide. By 1980, that number had increased to 860. The correlation is obvious. Today, of course, there are many thousands of acts of terrorism worldwide, and all serve the goals of the worldwide communist revolution.
You might have noticed in the tapes we're treated to from bin Laden from time to time that the subjects he discusses always have to do with things like social justice, American imperialism, etc. There is virtually no difference between what bin Laden and other Islamic terrorists propagandize about and the propaganda we've heard for decades from the communist world. This is not a coincidence, of course.
By 1998 the KGB and its sister organization, Russian Military Intelligence (GRU) had established terror training camps in the Middle East, Africa, and in the former Soviet Union itself. This is where, for six months of that year, Ayman al Zawahiri, said to be the number 2 man in al Qaeda, received his terror training and Marxist indoctrination by the GRU. Dagestan, Russia, where the camp was located, was the point from which al Zawahiri was then dispatched to Afghanistan, where he had not previously been, with orders to infiltrate and gain control of bin Laden's organization. The rest, as they say, is history.
I told you I was going to tell you about symbolism, and now I will. A statue of the founder of the Cheka, Felix Dzerzhinsky, still sits in Lubyanka Square, the location of the headquarters of the organization he founded. A bust of his head sits upon the desk of the present-day officer in charge of Dzerzhinsky's organization. And his birthdate is still celebrated by the officers who today run Dzerzhinsky's organization.
Do you need me to tell you on what day Felix Dzerzhinsky was born? Perhaps not, but nevertheless I shall.

Exactly. No one is going to sift through all that stuff...
So, you missed the mark. Our eyes glaze over. Not interested. Had you made a simple point or a succint, pithy description it may have been different.
Who is Jan Malina? Any relation to the Malina family that live two blocks down from me? Tell Jan his brother is gonna get his ass kicked if I don't get my 5-0.

Dood, I would just like to point out in as polite a fashion as possible that you are a complete moron and should not venture out onto the internet. No one is going to read your pasted diatribe. No one cares. And if you want them to care, don't you need to get your crap read -- which isn't going to happen with that length?
Thanks for posting that to educate us -- ALL of it!
The American left loves the demon just as they loved Hitler, Stalin, and Mao because they share the same totalitarian values!
Cripe looks like Pomo bucks are screaming into the overnight markets. Risk on beacheees
Mumbai: Gold demand in India, the world's largest consumer of the metal, rose an annual about 28 percent to 229.5 tonnes in the quarter to September, the World Gold Council (WGC) said on Wednesday.
By any accounts this is huge, considering the price of gold has been hovering at its all-time highs.
Jewellery demand rose to 184.5 tonnes, while investment demand rose to 45 tonnes, the WGC data showed.

silver is popping AH
Too many long posts. Folks lets just give all our money to the old fellow
Warren, cause he says gov. thanks.
1- Can someone post the link to Turd Ferguson's blog, I just started visiting ZH a few days before he came out with it and have lost the address.
2- There was a post mentioning the US mints 5oz coins - their site says they come out on 19 Nov. Will this item be popular with the people here?
3- Can someone succinctly explain wtf is going on with silver? Is buying the US mint's release tomm my best bet for a 1k purchase?
I just started investing on nov 2, watched the fed throw out that QE II, watched the market every day since then. 99% of it is indecipherable to me, though the surprise margin raises and POMO injections seem to have a common sense effect on the market.
Thank you
