Soros predicts riots, police state and class war for America


Recommended Posts

Billionaire investor George Soros has a new prediction for America. While it might be as dire as it gets for the financial wiz, this bet concerns more than just the value of the buck. According to Soros, there's about to be an all-out class war.
 

Soros, 81, previously bet against the British pound in the early 90s and made $1 billion off its collapse. In the years since, he’s remained active in investing, but also in advocacy. He’s helped keep Wikipedia afloat thanks to impressive contributions and through donations to the Tides Center, has indirectly funded Adbusters, the Canadian anti-capitalist magazine that put Occupy Wall Street on the map. Speaking to Newsweek recently, Soros neglected to acknowledge his past successes, but instead offered a word of warning: a period of “evil” is coming to the western world.

 

“I am not here to cheer you up. The situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career,” Soros tells Newsweek. “We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse. The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system.”

Soros goes on to compare the current state of the western world with what the Soviet Union was facing as communism crumbled. Although he would think that history would have taught the globe a thing or two about noticing trends, Soros says that, despite past events providing a perfect example of what is to come, the end of an empire seems imminent.

 

“The collapse of the Soviet system was a pretty extraordinary event, and we are currently experiencing something similar in the developed world, without fully realizing what’s happening,” adds Soros.

 

Soros goes on to say that as the crisis in the Eurozone only worsens, the American financial system will continue to be hit hard. On the way to a full-blown collapse, he cautions, Americans should expect society to alter accordingly. Riots will hit the streets, says Soros, and as a result, “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”

 

The recent adoption of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 and the proposed Enemy Expatriation Act, if approved, have already very well paved the way for such a society. Under the NDAA, the US government is allowed to indefinitely detain and torture American citizens suspected of terror crimes without ever bringing them to trial. Should lawmakers Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Charles Dent (R-PA) get their Enemy Expatriation Act through Congress, the US will also be able to simply revoke citizenship without trial, essentially removing constitutional rights from anyone deemed a threat.

 

Others have cautioned that, as inequality becomes more rampant in America, the country’s citizens are becoming increasingly agitated with those on the other side of the extreme. In a recent survey released by the Pew Research Center, 66 percent of the adults studied believe that either “very strong” or “strong” conflicts exist between America’s elite and the impoverished, a statistic that has skyrocketed in recent years. Between 2009 and 20011, the proportion of those that sense conflicts exist as such between the class groups grew by 19 percentage points. While less than half of Americans fearing a fight brewing at the dawn of the Obama administration, today two-out-of-three Americans feel that there is a strong conflict between both extremes of society.

 

Addressing the issue of inequality, Soros tells Newsweek that the main issue that will make or break a reelection for US President Barack Obama will be whether or not the rich end up being taxed more. Among the current frontrunners in the Republic Party’s race for the GOP nomination, wealth and taxes have been of the biggest concern of party rivals. The top candidates have made millions off of investments, and at a time of immense inequality, represent what 99 percent of Americans don’t. Taxing the rich to a bigger degree might finally bring a chance, and Soros says, “It shouldn’t be a difficult argument for Obama to make.”

 

Soros adds that if the US manages to make it through the troubled times to come, it come allow the nation to enter another golden era. “In the crisis period, the impossible becomes possible. The European Union could regain its luster. I’m hopeful that the United States, as a political entity, will pass a very severe test and actually strengthen the institution,” he tells Newsweek.

 

With almost seven percent of Americans living below half of the poverty line, four unemployed Americans for each job, a shrinking middle class and an increasingly overzealous police state, it could very well be a tough road to get there, though.

I think the important point is that Soros was wrong, in his "infinite wisdom".

 

Or... He was threatening riots if Obama was'nt re-elected.

 

No matter.

 

Soros will be broke, the second his heart stops beating.

Well, with both ISIS and BLM now attacking within the US with increasing frequency we have our own Chechens and Partisan Rebels so its not looking too far off from 80s-90s Russia.

 

We're not defending our borders and are now being attacked by enemies within with regular frequency. Congress passed NDAA and Obama passed it. Hillary is far more likely than Trump to be the next president according to pretty much every source inquiring and she is very vocally promising to more or less revoke the 2nd Amendment. We continue to add entitlements instead of taking austerity measures and this newst generation to reach adulthood, my generation were basically promised an easy and comfortable life just for stumbling out of college with any old degree. my whole life i was made to believe that a diploma was a magic ticket to tens of thousands of more dollars a year, like it would just fall into my lap. i assume all the people in occupy wallstreet believed the same as we all had a very harsh awakening when the job market just sort of shrugged at these magic sheets of paper we put all our faith in and told us to take the jobs that were always made out to be what "failures" or "drop-outs" did.

 

now i myself am fighting with all my worth against the soft-hearted and panicky nature brought about by a system that told me to put all my faith into one solution and to never even contemplate a "plan B". but a lot of others aren't and they're falling into either apathy or revolutionary rage. it all reminds me of reading about "the Lost Generation" of WWI, that after the war their whole frame of understanding life and society was shattered. i honestly hope Soros is wrong but much like a Nostradamus prediction you can find a lot of retroactive truth in what he said.

A lot of people see the writing on the wall.  This system is doomed.  Nobody can give the day and the hour it all comes apart (those who think they can are fools), but ponzy schemes and fiat currencies always come down.

The other day the 9th circuit court (liberal heaven) deemed password sharing a felony basically, and deemed it "hacking" for both the owner of the password and the user of the password. This shows how broken we have become with laws and the insanity that comes with them. All three branches make up shot as we go and it keeps getting worse.

 

We were a country founded on the principal of limited government and freedom for the individual to pursue what they feel will make them happy. You can still do that as long as you pay 50%+ in taxes on each dollar you earn, stay connected to the power and water grids, don't collect rain water, don't make anyone mad who is a government agent, black, an illegal immigrant, a liberal, and tons of other labels I am missing. Also you are free to commit crimes and blame the cops for your injury or death as long as someone filmed a portion of it. Block freeway traffic and you get a free dinner at the whitehouse but kids get good grades and they are harassed and mocked, then forced to eat food that it is obvious the chunky ass Michelle Obama herself isn't eating.

 

Fuck it, let's just get it started already. Maybe afterward we can all act like grown ups again.

It's a very common feeling.

 

I think Obama really was expecting a civil war in America, during his reign.

 

He telegraphed this, in his first year.

 

But, he was afraid to push the American people too far.

I wonder if he realized it wouldn't end on his side winning. Now he can give a shit less as no one will be the winner in nov. Good way to get people to believe it was caused by the bitch or the entertainer and forgetting who set the stage.

F*ck soros with a rusty jagged swastika. This POS is what's evil. As for his comment about a class warfare. The 1% in this country are the corrupt scum which are three branches of this joke of a banana republic govt. Personally I would have zero issue with all of them resigning immediately or well...... Let them eat cake, if you follow me.

I think that is rooted in an effort to be able to establish the identity of the person who's actions they are snooping on. There is always more than meets the eye with these underhanded bastards.
