GEORGE SOROS : PHILANTHROPIST OR PREDATOR ? Recently billionaire George Soros has appeared prominently in the news as a bankroller of what he calls "regime change" in the US. Soros has contributed $10 million to a new Democratic Party group designed to defeat George Bush.called "Americans Coming Together" (ACT). He has also given $5 million to MoveOn.org, which he calls "a popular Internet advocacy group that is airing advertisements to highlight the administration's misdeeds." "I like what they do and how they do it," Soros says of MoveOn., a group originally formed by activists protesting Bill Clinton's impeachment. Beating Bush has become "the central focus on my life," Soros told The Washington Post. Interestingly, it was Soros who contributed close to $15 million dollars to push passage of the McCain-Feingold law, the purpose of which is "To dramatically reduce the role of big special-interest money in American politics," according to Soros himself. "Having helped finance the McCain-Feingold measure he is now actively circumventing the law by financing political groups that are nothing but Democratic Party fronts," writes economics writer Gerard Jackson . Bloomberg news reported in October that despite the law banning coordination between the two, America Coming Together's headquarters was located on the fourth floor of 888 16th Street in Washington, with the Democratic National Committee on the seventh and eighth floors of the same building. In a Washington Post op-ed Soros recently felt compelled to assert that in his contributions to ACT and Move-On.org., "I have scrupulously abided by both the letter and the spirit of the law " The media reporting on Soros and his recent contributions repeatedly describe him as a "currency trader" and "philanthropist" But what are they leaving out? MASTER OF FRONTS Soros' dealings are so complex that his name does not appear directly on many movements that he engineers.
