| Shevardnadze blames Soros for his downfall | |
| 2003-12-01 | |
Former Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze accused multibillionaire philanthropist George Soros of donating millions of dollars to an uprising earlier this month that forced him to resign. Shevardnadze said in a newspaper interview that he could not point to specific countries that had backed the uprising. Instead, international groups, such as the Soros Foundation, had financed the opposition, he said. Shevardnadze has previously accused U.S. ambassador Richard Miles of encouraging the opposition, an allegation U.S. officials denied.

| #1 2 rotten things happened here: 1) Dumbass Shevardnadze rigged the elections 2) Power Broker Cum Political Tick Soros used his money to subvert the Georgian political process Both are wrong. Shevy got his: he's history. Soros has yet to get HIS, however. On top of his little escapade in Georgia, this Currency Tick is trying similar tactics in the US. He should be forced to register as an Foreign Agent. His activities and finances would then be available to US investigators to determine if he has broken US law, already, and to make certain he does not in the future. Because of the trail of evidence leading to him in the Gerogian elections... If I were in charge of whatever group is responsible for tracking and investigating Foreign Agent activities, I would put him on the US's persona-non-grata list - revoking entry into the US, force his immediate removal from all US company directorial board positions, and seizure of ALL of his US assets including US stock holdings against the outcome of the investigation. This is one of those cretinous asshats that the NaziMedia types all scream about: The Stereotypical Corporate Bloodsucking Power Broker. Why aren't they screaming now? Because he's a EURO CorpBloodsuckingPowerPlayer who gives to the Demo Party. Fucking hypocrites. I recall the Clinton - China campaign contributions flare up... this is bigger because he has engaged in outright subversive acts in the elections in Georgia - and the evidenciary trail needs to be documented before it goes cold. I am no fan of Serbs or Milosevic, that's a certainty, but guys like Soros and his "foundation" are definitley not the answer to such regimes. These guys can go rogue just as quickly as the regimes they seek to overthrow. I have a rather large problem with foreigners getting involved in US elections. If the Donks or Pubes or Librats or whatevers can't generate enough contributions to fund themselves and their candidates from AMERICANS, then they should dissolve and go piss up a rope - they have no business being in US politics. This guy thinks he's bigger than the law. Easy way to disprove such delusions of grandeur: freeze him, then burn him. |
