Da sich bisher niemand die Mühe gemacht hat, die Liste der Verbündeten (allies) von Georg Soros zu veröffentlichen, habe ich das erledigt. Leider gibt es keinen funktionierenden Direktlink. Man findet das Dokument hier unter “reliable allies”.
Zunächst eine Begriffsklärung, wie ich sie bereits in meinem Buch “Die Vereinigten Staaten von Europa” vorgenommen habe: Ein Agent ist jemand, der im Auftrag eines anderen handelt. Es kann aber auch so verstanden werden, dass er im Sinne eines anderen handelt. Das ist sozusagen der Traum jedes Lobbyisten, dass Leute in seinem Sinne handeln, ohne dass er sie direkt bezahlen muss. In der Regel wird auch kein Geldkoffer übergeben, sondern die entsprechenden Personen werden eben zu “Councils” eingeladen und bekommen außer der schicken Reise möglicherweise hübsche Geschenke oder werden für den Vortrag bezahlt. Ob das bei den folgenden Personen konkret der Fall ist, entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis.
Das Gros des Geldes kommt ohnehin vom hart arbeitenden Steuerzahler. In jedem Fall ist es interessant zu sehen, wen Georg Soroś “Open Society” für “verlässliche Verbündete” (“reliable allies”) hält. Diese Personen arbeiten – wissentlich oder unwissentlich – also auf dasselbe Ziel hin wie Georg Soros: Die Zerstörung der Nationalstaaten durch Einwanderung und Chaos wie selbst die Jerusalem Post schreibt.
Da die deutschen EU-Parlamentarier eigentlich das deutsche Volk vertreten sollten, wollen Sie sich vielleicht bei diesen Leuten für ihre hervorragende Vertretung bedanken. Kontaktdetails anbei.
Während es wenig verwundert, dass der vom Mainstream gehypte Martin “Flüchtlinge sind wertvoller als Gold” Schulz oder Sven Diegold auf der Liste auftaucht, ist so mancher Liberale vielleicht überrascht, dass Alexander Graf Lambsdorff auf der Verbündeten-Liste eines weltweit bekannten Internationalsozialisten auftaucht. Da Mitglieder aller etablierten Parteien auf dieser Liste sind, befreit Sie das möglicherweise auch von der Illusion, dass es sich bei unserer Demokratie um ein Mehrparteiensystem handelt.
