I know the link goes to a long article, which I'm sure you won't read. Too many big words for you.

But I am sure there are a few on MC who will. find it interesting, and it will backup what many already know.
There are some conflicting issues, was he a 10 year old Jewish Nazi, or might some stories be untrue?
He was a teenager when the Nazi's started hauling off the Jews to concentration camp.

Maybe you should make an app't with a neurologist. You obviously having trouble connecting the dots when people post things. You just spent 2 or 3 comments getting pissed at Carpy because you claim she didn't answer you or whatever. Maybe if your posts made more sense, you get better replies from people. You can't make people say what you want them to say.
Neither one of us was deflecting.

Yet an opinion by a film critic, book critic, drama critic, editor, contributing editor or writer on arts, culture, and politics is legit? LOL!! Lort, you're a laugh a minute.

I read it. It's the same old, same old continually repeated twists and spins. I'm sure they will find that it backs up what many believe.

Oh! Btw. That claim you made earlier about GS being the richest man on the earth?

I guess Mr. Kanfer disagrees ;)

He was a teenager when the Nazi's started hauling off the Jews to concentration camp.
If he is 89 in 2020 he was born in 1931 which would make him 9 or 10 in when the war began, but Dachau opened in 1933.

There is no specific date on when Jewish people first began arriving to concentration camps for torture, we had to discover what they were being used for.


Stories like that are not uncommon, you do what you need to do to survive, and as a child going through it, you don’t have time to stop and think about how you truly feel about it until a decade later sometimes.

The interview mentioned in her link:

"In 1998, 60 Minutes profiled the man whose stock-market manipulations were making news. CBS interviewer Steve Kroft asked him about his wartime experiences:

KROFT: You watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.

SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made.

KROFT: In what way?

SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and—and anticipate events and when—when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a—a very personal experience of evil. . . .

KROFT: I mean, that’s—that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?

SOROS: Not—not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t—you don’t see the connection. But it was—it created no—no problem at all.

KROFT: No feeling of guilt?

SOROS: No.

KROFT: For example that, “I’m Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.” None of that?

SOROS: Well, of course I c— I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there, because that was—well, actually, in a funny way, it’s just like in markets—that if I weren’t there—of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would—would—would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the—whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the—I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt."

Soros is behind antifa, and none of the left wing bs you people post is going to change that fact. Now that Trump is going to name them as domestic terrorists, Barr will be digging very deeply into them. He will find the trail that will lead right back to Soros.

She’s got everything figured out. Black and white. Left bad, right good. The poster child for Trump’s base - uninformed, poorly educated and not willing to learn, just plain stupid.

There are those who will look at that interview and understand the nuances of a teen Jew living in Nazi Germany and that how one navigated it was not so clear cut. There are others who are going to view with a "black/white" view. It's virtually impossible to convince those of opposing views that their view is the correct one.

Soros is destined to be the enemy of some, the hero to others, and inconsequential to most. That is his legacy, like it or leave it. Frankly, I don't think he gives a damn.
