Top 10 Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous

Human Events’ readers, in an online poll, recently voted billionaire financier George Soros “the single most destructive leftist demagogue in the country.” Here are the Top 10 Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous:
1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.
2. Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.” He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush. His early financial support helped jump-start Barack Obama’s political career. Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Obama when he was running for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours of Obama’s announcement that he was running for President.
3. Wants to curtail American sovereignty: Soros would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies. He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be “downsized.” In 1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”
4. Media Matters: Soros is a financial backer of Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group that hyperventilates over any conservative view that makes it into the mainstream media. Now its founder, David Brock, has openly declared war on Fox News, telling Politico that the group was mounting “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against the cable news channel, and would try to disrupt the commercial interests of owner Rupert Murdoch—an odd mission for a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational foundation that is barred from participating in partisan political activity.
5. MoveOn.org: Soros has been a major funder of MoveOn.org, a progressive advocacy group and political action committee that raises millions for liberal candidates. This is the group that had on its website an ad comparing President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler and ran the infamous “General Betray Us” ad in the New York Times, disparaging the integrity of Gen. David Petraeus.
6. Center for American Progress: Headed by John Podesta, White House chief of staff under President Clinton, the Center for American Progress has been instrumental in providing progressive talking points and policy positions for the Obama administration. There has also been a revolving door between the White House and the Soros-funded think tank, with Obama staffing his administration with many CAP officials.
7. Environmental extremism: Former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones and his leftist environmental ideas have been funded by Soros’ money at these groups: the Ella Baker Center, Green For All, the Center for American Progress, and the Apollo Alliance, which was instrumental in getting $110 billion in green initiatives included in Obama’s stimulus package. Soros also funds the Climate Policy Initiative to address global warming and gave Friends of the Earth money to “integrate a climate equity perspective in the presidential transition.”
8. America Coming Together: Soros gave nearly $20 million to this 527 group with the express purpose of defeating President Bush. A massive get-out-the-vote effort, ACT’s door-to-door canvassing teams included numerous felons, its voter registration drives were riddled with fraud, and it handed out incendiary fliers and made misleading taped phone calls to voters. ACT was fined $775,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violations of various federal campaign finance laws.
9. Currency manipulation: A large part of Soros’ multibillion-dollar fortune has come from manipulating currencies. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused him of bringing down the nation’s currency through his trading activities, and in Thailand he was called an “economic war criminal.” Known as “The Man who Broke the Bank of England,” Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar profit.
10. Delusions: Soros has repeatedly said that he sees himself as a messianic figure. Who but a megalomaniac would make these comments? “I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of my self-importance—to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god” or “I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin.” If only the loony bin were an option. As it is, one of the wealthiest men in the world is using his billions to impose a radical agenda on America.

Obama Stimulus Dollars Funded Soros Empire -

Executive Summary Newly recently released tax documents reveal how billionaire “philanthropist” George Soros expanded his U.S.-based empire by using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Obama stimulus. Soros and Obama worked hand-in-glove through the stimulus, which has been called the largest single partisan wealth transfer in American history. http://sorosfiles.com/soros/2012/04/...os-empire.html

Prison Quotas Push Lawmakers To Fill Beds, Derail Reform 90% GUARANTEED Vacancy Rate

Huffington Post - Posted: 09/19/2013 11:54 am EDT Updated: 09/20/2013 4:14 pm EDT



After three violent inmates escaped from an Arizona private prison in July 2010, prompting a two-week, multi-state manhunt, state corrections officials demanded improvements and stopped sending new inmates to what they called a "dysfunctional" 3,300-bed facility.
Less than a year later, the company that runs the prison, Management & Training Corp., threatened to sue the state. A line in their contract guaranteed that the prison would remain 97 percent full. They argued they had lost nearly $10 million from the reduced inmate population.
State officials renegotiated the contract, but ended up paying $3 million for empty beds as the company continued to address problems, according to state documents and local news accounts.

Far from the exception, Arizona's contractually obligated promise to fill prison beds is a common provision in a majority of America's private prison contracts, according to a public records analysis released today by the advocacy group In the Public Interest. The group reviewed more than 60 contracts between private prison companies and state and local governments across the country, and found language mentioning quotas for prisoners in nearly two-thirds of those analyzed.
The prison bed guarantees range between minimums of 70 percent occupancy in a California prison to 100 percent occupancy requirements at some Arizona prisons. Most of the contracts had language mandating that at least 90 percent of prison beds be filled.
Experts argue that such requirements create an incentive for policymakers to focus on filling empty prison beds, as opposed to pursuing long-term policy changes, such as sentencing reform, that could significantly reduce prison populations. In short, many states are effectively obligated to continue to incarcerate people regardless of crime rates and public safety needs, or otherwise hand over taxpayer dollars in order to satisfy private profit-making companies.
"It's really shortsighted public policy to do anything that ties the hands of the state," said Michele Deitch, a senior lecturer and criminal justice expert at the University of Texas School of Public Affairs, who has researched the rise of private prisons. "If there are these incentives to keep the private prisons full, then it is reducing the likelihood that states will adopt strategies to reduce prison costs by keeping more people out. When the beds are there, you don't want to leave them empty."
Private prison corporations emerged in the 1980s and 1990s, at a time when crime rates were soaring and states were scrambling to keep up with surging prison populations. Lawmakers needed quick alternatives, and looked to private prisons as an overflow valve to house inmates who were overcrowding the existing state systems.
But as state prison populations have started to decline in recent years, advocates point to occupancy guarantees as long-term obligations that raise core questions about who benefits from the service: the state, or the prison contractor?
"You can't project years into the future what your prison population is going to look like," said Shahrzad Habibi, research director with In the Public Interest, who authored the study on prison bed guarantees, which the group calls "lockup quotas." "If there is a reduction in the prison population, instead of closing these private prisons first, there is an incentive to keep funneling inmates there, to keep giving them business."
Private prison operators point out that many contracts offer termination language in contracts that give government agencies the option to back out if necessary.
Company spokesmen also argue that occupancy quotas in contracts allow contractors to offer better rates to government agencies. Most prison contracts are structured on a per-day, per-inmate basis, where states pay contractors a designated fee based on a daily count.
Issa Arnita, a spokesman for Management & Training Corp., said the bed guarantees lead to better rates because of the "stability it provides to operators," who don't have to factor in the risk of fluctuating inmate populations and "empty beds."
A spokesman for Corrections Corporation of America, the nation's largest private prison chain, said government agencies sometimes request the bed guarantees to ensure the company won't sell the beds to another agency.
"This helps them ensure that they have the space they need to safely and effectively house inmates," said company spokesman Steve Owen.
But industry critics argue that the contracts are structured such that states have difficulties holding prison companies responsible for mismanagement. In the case of the prison escape in Kingman, Ariz., follow-up audits by the state found an institution in disarray.
Prison officials didn't alert the local sheriff's office until nearly two hours after the escape. It took more than two weeks for authorities to apprehend two of the escapees, both of whom were subsequently charged in connection with the carjacking and murder of an Oklahoma couple who were driving through New Mexico.
Malfunctioning alarms repeatedly blared throughout the prison, and the state concluded that most guards had become "conditioned" to the false warnings and simply ignored them. The company hadn't performed maintenance on the system in nearly a year, audits found.
Five months after the escapes, the director of the Arizona Department of Corrections wrote that he still had "serious concerns about myriad chronic operational deficiencies." Yet MTC still argued that the state was bound by the 97 percent occupancy clause.
According to documents cited in the Arizona Republic, the state agreed to start paying the private contractor the 97 percent rate three months before the prison population reached that level.
"There are so many barriers to actual accountability in these cases," said Caroline Isaacs, a program director for the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization that advocates for prison reform.
Arnita, the MTC spokesman, wrote in an email that the company renegotiated the contract with the state after the disagreement "to ensure no future losses." He said the company has "a very strong partnership" with Arizona.
Doug Nick, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Corrections, said the compromise with MTC ultimately saved the state from facing much higher charges of potentially $16 million for back payments.
He said the department prefers bed guarantees because they allow the state to get the best deal from private prison operators, who otherwise might charge higher rates if there were monthly fluctuations in the size of the prison system.
"This protects the taxpayer," Nick said. "If you don't have a guarantee of occupancy, the operator of the prison is really going to want a much higher per-diem rate. There are fixed costs that any operator, public or private, has to meet."
In the Public Interest, the group that did the analysis of bed guarantees, argued that the most prudent contracting scheme would involve payments based only on the number of inmates in a facility for any given day. States such as Texas do not have specific bed guarantee clauses in private prison contracts, pegging payments to the number of prisoners counted every night at midnight.
"When entering a contract to operate a prison, a private company should be required to take on some risk," the report concluded. "Private prison beds were intended to be a safety valve to address demand that exceeded public capacity. It was never intended that taxpayers would be the safety valve to ensure private prison companies' profits." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3953483.html
