George Soros funds Ferguson protests to the tune of $33M?? Is this for real?

Lastly, what do you think? If Soros is not legally liable, what about the possibly questionable morality of causing, directly or indirectly, the injuries, damages, fires, and police overtime?
I suppose anything is possible, and truth is stranger than fiction, but I find this questionable.
 
Is the video fake?

Here is what actually happened:

This is what actually happened. Shortly after George went to live with Baumbach, the man was assigned to take inventory on the vast estate of Mor Kornfeld, an extremely wealthy aristocrat of Jewish origin. The Kornfeld family had the wealth, wisdom, and connections to be able to leave some of its belongings behind in exchange for permission to make their way to Lisbon. Baumbach was ordered to go to the Kornfeld estate and inventory the artworks, furnishings, and other property. Rather than leave his "godson" behind in Budapest for three days, he took the boy with him. As Baumbach itemized the material, George walked around the grounds and spent time with Kornfeld's staff. It was his first visit to such a mansion, and the first time he rode a horse. He collaborated with no one and he paid attention to what he understood to be his primary responsibility: making sure that no one doubted that he was Sandor Kiss.

That quote from biographer Michael Kaufman.
 
Considering it is the Washington Times.. no it is most likely not real.
 
That's right, Soros gave $33M to the Ferguson protests, in 2011. I assume this is the year they meant, as no other year is mentioned nearly as often.
So they weren't activists in 2011 so it doesn't count? I didn't know there was a statute of limitations to monetary donations. Good to know.

The former NYTimes Michael Kaufman? is that who you are talking about? I just ask because liberals are lining up as usual to denigrate the WaTimes, and discredit any connections of Soros to these sorts of things, even though this is his particular fingerprint, see Ukraine, but with that aside, you want us to take the word of a liberal NYTimes writer whom was hired to write a bio for Soros, yet discount any article that speaks to the opposite....Yeah ok. :roll:

Could you provide a list of news outlets you find "real" so that in the future we can know how to please your world view?
 
Well, Internet Exploder, what a surprise (*sarcasm*). I'd recommend Firefox or Chrome, far more secure and faster, from what I've been told.

malicious ad ons are malicious ad ons...no matter what browser. I use FF for some things, but prefer the IE -it seems to screen out malware better.
I also have paid Kaspersky on my home desk top -since I use that for work.

George Soros, using his Magical Liberal Jew Time Machine, gave money to those groups three years prior to Ferguson in order to cover his tracks!

LOL.

Does a volunteer fire department wait for the first fire to purchase equipment and train, or do they get organized before the first fire breaks out?

Flippant answers are cute and all, but the terminal lack of depth that is your hallmark doesn't address the facts.

The Washington Times has a very well known and established bias towards the right. It also has a poor history with facts and the truth.

Just as the NYT has the opposite well known and established bias toward the left. So by association, Michael Kaufmann would be biased as well, or so the theory, if applicable, should go. Should go, as in, if we're going to be even handed and treat media bias in a consistent manner regardless of which way that bias might lean.
 
LOL.

Yes, and the facts are that there is no evidence Soros' donations have dick-all to do with Ferguson.

Actually, when compared to your facts, there is a definitive connection, and you've already admitted it exists.

Not what I asked....Maybe now that you got that out of your system, you could answer the question?
 
So giving to already established groups doesn't count.... I guess it only counts if NEW groups were involved but since it's existing groups, psssh... doesn't count, and besides they "might have" supported the protests, so plausible deniability. Sweet deal.

No, you misunderstand.

He donated to those groups. Those groups didn't take every single penny into Ferguson.

Wouldn't it be disingenuous to suggest that Soros donated for specific protests that didn't exist yet? Wouldn't it be extra deceptive to suggest that every penny of those donations went to a protest 3 years later?
 
No, you misunderstand.

He donated to those groups. Those groups didn't take every single penny into Ferguson.

And your source and evidence for that please.... "no a single penny" is what you said.

Uhh, I just got here dude.

I don't think so. Would it be deceptive to suggest that supporting groups with a known activist mission does not suggest they were expected to be activists?

I think my volunteer fire department example is a brilliant analogy of this type of action. :cool:
 
I think you should consider the source... The Moony Times.

Attacking the source is effectively squelching free speech.....you don't really think this sort lf news would show up in the mainstream media, do ya?

This is exactly the sort of news they tend to bury.
 
Meaning I didn't say what you claim I said.

No I don't think so... You stated:

Deuce said:

I'd like you to either provide evidence of that statement or retract it. Can you back up that statement with evidence and math or was that just an overzealous statement?
