Theory on why Soros is for legalizing pot in CA
2010-10-30
This is an original article by myself, so there isn't a link.

Like a bolt out of the blue, Soros suddenly seems to be putting his money into legalizing pot in CA. Of course, anyone with half a brain (like myself) immediately becomes suspicious, especially since Soros is Greek and shouldn't care either way about such a relatively small issue given the current state of politics in the US. So what did my half-a-brain come up with?

Soros might be trying to get out the stoner vote, which one could easily imagine would have the side-effect of voting overwhelmingly Donk, thereby helping Pelosi and Boxer and every Donk candidate for Congressional Representative out there.

Is CA in such a situation that this makes sense? If so, would Soros have the wherewithall to come up with this himself, or could his intervention been requested by someone? Who?

#13  ...OBTW, Soros is worth $5B+, all gains from dirty deals, hood-winks and from manipulating the stability of global financial systems; primarily those in the UK and USA.

A "double-tap" won't stop "it" if you can't get within a mile of the SOB.

#12  Don't underestimate Soros. He pushes for decriminalization of ALL drugs (heroin, cocain and pharma-Disneyland; not just pot), prostitution, all pornography, capitalism/global finacial stability (unless HE is cashing in), religion, "family values" and the USA. Do a little research on this creep ASAP; not your average hedge-fund manipulator. Extremely anti-American for decades, and it's working...

#7  LA County Sheriff's department urges parents to check for pot-laced Halloween treats After cocaine is legalized, you can eat those specially-treated treats, use them as a nasal decongestant, or a local anesthetic!

#6  Soros is one of the internationalist global multi-billionaires who wants to see global socialist government with he and his buddies in control. This can't happen with the US as the great world power, and so the US must be destroyed.

Everything Soros does is directed at destroying our national sovereignty and looting the country at the same time. He is trying to initiate a global slave state and we are considered part of the slaves. He will redistribute any monies that he doesn't manage to latch onto. That's what cap and trade is for. The open borders that he promotes doesn't benefit anyone but oligarchic masters.

Soros has been trying to build up the pro-pot platform for years and years through his community activist ways. I'm sure his allies already have their pot plantations and merchandising plans already in place, he just needs the legal go-ahead to cut out his slave-class competition. Then he can keep everyone stoned so that they don't revolt against the global controllers, and he can profit handsomely at the same time.

Wake up America.

#4  
George Soros; born August 12, 1930, as Schwartz György is a Hungarian-American currency speculator, stock investor, businessman, philanthropist, and social activist.

Soros is a made-up name. He's a Hungarian Jew who collaborated with the Nazis during WWII, sending his own people to concentration camps. There's a special circle of hell reserved for people like him.

#3  Marijuana was one of the first issues that put Soros on the radar, long before any of his other activities. He used a front organization called the Lindesmith Center, among others.

There have been some suggestions that he uses his hedge fund to launder billions in drug money, so his major interest is in market stabilization.

#2  Not just Soros but, I would expect, Obama should he decide to stand for reelection. The difficulty presented by this particular wedge issue is that the stoner vote is unlikely to turn up to vote no matter what they are promised. They are stoned.

A conspiracy theorist might hypothesize large donations to Republicans by current pot growers and distributors. Their margins depend on continuing Prohibition.

#1  In fact, Soros has actively backed legalization of weed for at least a decade, if not longer. It is not a "bolt out of the blue" to those who follow the issue.

Like many liberals, Soros does believe in civil liberties like equal rights for women and gays, and the right to grow and smoke weed in the privacy of one's own home.
