There was a time, a number of years ago, when the Jewish
engineered blacklisting of me was so effective, and my vision (before the
cataract operations) was so “tired,” I wrote sporadically and wrote very
little. This gave me time to play the stock market; a hobby I have delved into
on-and-off for half a century.
Playing the market and tracking the related news, I became
acquainted with the names of a number of people in the investment business –
one of them being the legendary George Soros. To be honest, I did not like the
way he played the game, and said it on a number of occasions. When he wrote a
book, which came under the title: “The Age of Fallibility,” I read it, and did
not think much of it. In fact I found it to be so unmemorable, I don't remember
a word of it ten years later … except for the title.
Now comes this guy, Clifford D. May, and writes an article
under the title: “The Soros smear effect” and the subtitle: “Rather than debate
his opponents, the billionaire arbiter defames all of them,” published on
August 23, 2016 in The Washington Times. Believing that I'll find information
in this work to justify my negative view of Soros, I discovered instead that he
is a better human being when he wears the philanthropist's hat than he is when
he wears the investor's hat.
Clifford May attacks George Soros bitterly because he says
he just discovered that Open Society Foundations (OSF), which is financed by
Soros, was behind the effort to expose his [May's] Islamophobic hatred, racism
and bigotry, as well as those of other individuals and groups. Among the latter
were such tricksters as Daniel Pipes and Liz Cheney who were focused on
exposing what May calls the “toxic ideologies” of the Muslim world.
Knowing how trashy was the work of Clifford May, Daniel
Pipes, Liz Cheney and all those of their ilk, I was curious to see how much
worse the work of OSF had to be for May to attack it the way that he did. It
turns out that the work was not trashy at all but that May was harboring hatred
for the fact that:
“Those who run OSF for Mr. Soros were distressed that groups
on the left lacked 'high quality opposition research' to combat 'anti-Muslim
xenophobia.' So OSF decided to provide dollars to launch an 'Examining
Anti-Muslim Bigotry Project.' Its mission would be to 'track' the activities of
yours truly [Clifford May], Daniel Pipes, Liz Cheney and others.”
What is so bad about that, I exclaimed! And why would OSF
want to do something like this? May tells why the organization was interested
in such a project; and makes it clear he doesn't like it one bit. Here is how
he expresses his disappointment:
“To engage journalists, researchers, academics and leaders
in the anti-hate movement who are researching and writing on Islamophobia and
to develop a clearer understanding of how a well financed system is able to
introduce false narratives and flawed research into the media cycle to
manipulate public opinion and thwart counterterrorism policies”.
For a weird reason that no one who is a normal person can
accept or explain, Clifford May, Daniel Pipes and Liz Cheney thought it was a
bad idea for the OSF to be interested in such matters as Islamophobia, in the
way that false narratives are introduced into the media cycle, and in the way
that public opinion is manipulated. For this reason, Clifford May who felt
deeply hurt, went looking for consolation anywhere he could find it.
He found it on a Fox News television show where, he says, he
had the opportunity to speak of the magnificent ideas he had developed. They
consisted of ripping the Soros broader agenda, which included (1) pushing
Europe and America to open
their borders to suffering refugees, (2) promoting a non-nuclear Iran , and (3)
investing in groups that sought liberation for a Palestinian people suffering
atrociously under the rule of an American financed and equipped Israeli army of
bloodthirsty land robbers.
Alas – from the
looks of it – it appears that by now, the author had discovered he did not have
an argument solid enough to convince the readers of anything. So he did what
the weaklings, who wish to appear more important than they are, always do. He
called on Soros to debate him in a public forum.
