Soros: No Guilt Over Helping Nazis Steal From Fellow Jews
Posted by Dave Blount at October 31, 2006 5:24 PM
The Hungarian Jew George Soros survived the Holocaust by pretending to be the Christian godson of a man whose role under the Third Reich was to confiscate property from Jews. Sweetness & Light quotes from an interview Soros did with Steve Kroft for 60 Minutes in 1998 regarding this phase of his life, which Soros himself credits with forming his character. It offers a disturbing perspective on the psychology of the man who has bought a large degree of control over the Democratic Party. Here's a highlight:
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.
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.
If Soros' Shadow Party strategy of pouring millions of dollars into left-wing 527s works, and he is able to remove the "main obstacle to a stable and just world order" by managing to "puncture the bubble of American supremacy," it's nice to know he won't lose any sleep over the chaos that ensues.
