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

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.

"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.

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.Thelma Harper wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 4:50 pmThe interview mentioned in her link:Frau Holle wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 4:43 pmIf 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.

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.
