George Soros: Kingmaker

Many people in Utah are still angry about then-President Bill Clinton's designation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in 1996. It put the area off limits to further development – especially mining. The Grand Staircase contains one of the two major sources of highly prized clean-burning coal. This type of coal is only found in one other place in the world: Indonesia.

Questions were raised at the time about Clinton’s connections to a wealthy mining family in Indonesia from which it was alleged he received beaucoup campaign contributions. - Quid pro quo?

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Follow the money is usually a good bet. The Clinton co-presidency was after money. To Barack Hussein Obama money is strictly secondary. Obama’s currency is ideology. By rendering idle the Gulf’s oil rigs and auxiliary equipment, he makes certain that such equipment will be forced to move overseas. In addition, two billion of our tax dollars will soon be going to the (left-leaning) state-owned Brazilian oil company, Petrobras, to explore drilling in the off-shore Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin. The WSJ wrote, “The U.S. Export-Import Bank tells us it has issued a ‘preliminary commitment’ letter to Petrobras in the amount of $2 billion and has discussed with Brazil the possibility of increasing that amount.”

Now it begins to make sense: why the slackness in the Federal government’s response to the Gulf oil spill; why the moratorium on drilling. If you still want to ‘follow the money’ consider this: George Soros remains a major private investor in Petrobras. There was no one more eager to remove George Bush and Republicans from U.S. governance. Soros, a Hungarian-born Jew, understands the nexus between money and political power. He single-handedly funds every left-wing organization and cause in America. He contributed liberally to Democrat (including Obama’s) campaigns over the years. – Quid pro quo?
