George Soros’ Giant Globalist Footprint in Ukraine’s Turmoil

Billionaire
investor/activist George Soros has a giant footprint in Ukraine. Similar to his
operations in dozens of other nations, he has, over the past couple of decades,
poured tens of millions of dollars into Ukrainian non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), ostensibly to assist them in transforming their country
into a more “open” and “democratic” society.
Many of the participants
in Kiev’s “EuroMaidan” demonstrations were members of Soros-funded NGOs and/or
were trained by the same NGOs in the many workshops and conferences sponsored
by Soros’ International Renaissance Foundation (IRF), and his various Open
Society institutes and foundations. The IRF, founded and funded by Soros,
boasts that it has given “more than any other donor organization” to
“democratic transformation” of Ukraine.
The International Renaissance Foundation’s Annual Report for 2012, the latest
available, states that, “IRF provided UAH 63 million in funding to civil
society organizations - more than any other donor organization working in this
field in Ukraine.” The “UAH” reference used above refers to the Ukraine
Hryvnia, Ukraine’s currency, which is worth about 0.11 $US, or eleven cents in
U.S. currency. That translates into, roughly, $6.7 million that IRF provided to
Ukrainian groups in 2012; not a huge sum, by comparison to many other political
and social campaigns, but more than merely “significant.” In the cash-starved
Ukraine, Soros’s dollars go a long way toward seducing and co-opting all
legitimate political opposition into the Soros-approved “progressive” camp.
According to the IRF’s own website, this one Soros conduit has funneled over $100
million into Ukrainian NGOs over the years:
The IRF website and annual reports make clear that
the Soros funds are targeted at promoting Ukrainian “partnership” with, and
“integration” into, the EU. Soros
has provided many millions more through his other “philanthropic” spigots.
However, Soros’ influence in Ukraine extends far beyond the traceable funding
he provides to activist Ukrainian NGOs, academics and think tanks. Equally, if
not more, important is the influence he exerts on global opinion through his
massive propaganda network (including Project Syndicate and other Soros
megaphones) and his direct personal contacts with presidents, prime ministers,
parliamentarians, central bankers, media executives, and Wall Street
titans.
In a February 26 column
he penned for Project Syndicate that was carried by hundreds of newspapers and
websites, Soros argued that the EU and the IMF must initiate a new Marshall
Plan for Ukraine, meaning, of course, transfers of money from EU and U.S.
taxpayers to the politicians, organizations, and institutions approved by the
globalist/socialist/
George Soros is all about management by “experts,” i.e., central planning, the
hallmark of every socialist, fascist, or communist regime. In fact, he is one
of the planet’s premier advocates of global central planning and control.
Hence, he is a longtime fervent supporter of the United Nations, the IMF/World
Bank, the WTO, global population control through the WHO and UNFPA, and
virtually every other internationalist endeavor to subvert national sovereignty
and advance the building of an omnipotent world government.
His fetish with internationalism includes, especially, further enlarging and
empowering the EU, which has been the prime subject of concern in books and
essays by Soros, as well as many of his speeches and media interviews. Soros is a full-blown proponent
of total political and economic “integration” of the EU, meaning a complete
annihilation of any residual independence of the EU member states and the
transfer of all substantive legislative, executive, and judicial powers to EU
politicians and administrators in Brussels.
Over the past several years Soros has been particularly emphatic in pushing for
a central EU Treasury, or European Fiscal Authority (EFA), which he says is “the missing ingredient that is needed to
make the euro a full-fledged currency with a genuine lender of last resort.” The European Central Bank (ECB), says Soros,
has insufficient powers to do what is needed, even though he admits it has
illegally usurped powers — which he applauds.
When European Central Bank President Mario Draghi (a former Goldman Sachs vice
chairman and managing director) announced on August 1, 2012 that the ECB would
“do whatever it takes to preserve the euro as a stable currency,” German
Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann objected, pointing out that the ECB’s powers are limited by statute. Nevertheless,
Draghi forged ahead, promising that the ECB would make unlimited purchases of
government bonds of indebted EU members — provided they put their countries under the control
of executors from “the Troika” — the EU Commission, ECB and IMF. This is the same Troika that
devastated the citizens of Cyprus last year, raiding their bank accounts to pay off the bonds that
socialist politicians and Goldman Sachs had saddled them with. But
Soros, whose many “human rights” fronts extol the “rule of law,”
"accountability," and “transparency,” says that the lawless and
unaccountable Troika does not have enough power! It must be complimented by an
EFA, says he, which should exercise power over all fiscal matters.
The IMF’s Managing Director Christine Lagarde and EU Commission President Jose
Manuel Barroso (a “former” Maoist Communist) have already lined up a
multi-billion package for Ukraine. However, many Ukrainians, all across the political spectrum, are leery of
coming under the Troika’s control, and rightfully so. They do not want to trade
the corruption and oppression of Yanukovych’s pro-Kremlin regime for another
dictated by the EU and IMF. As we pointed out recently, even the poll commissioned by
the U.S. State Department found that only
37 percent of Ukrainians favored joining the EU.
Economist Michael Roberts describes himself on his blogsite as “a Marxist
economist.” Nevertheless, Roberts is on the mark in his February 27 column in
stating: “The people of Ukraine are left with Hobson’s choice: either go with
KGB-led crony capitalism from Russia or go with equally corrupt pro-European
‘democrats’.” He is also correct in asserting that Ukraine’s foreign debt will
soon double, if it takes IMF loans, and that the Ukrainian people will burdened
with crushing debt for a generation. He writes:
Ukraine could still stage a financial meltdown and a banking collapse.
More likely, the new government will be helped over the next few months with
bridging loans until the IMF deal is struck. Then the hardship for the people
will really begin in earnest. Ukraine’s foreign debt is about to double
as it takes on new debt from the IMF and the cost of existing dollar and euro
debt jumps as the hyrvnia is devalued. This burden will be on shoulders of
Ukrainians for a generation.
Only
it could double several times over, and it could burden Ukrainians for much
longer than a generation; it could fasten them with debt bondage in
perpetuity. Bosnian writer Andrej Nikolaidis warns Ukrainians that massive debt and grinding poverty under
Troika-managed regime are to be expected. “It hardly comes as a surprise
to us in former Yugoslavia,” writes Nikolaidis. “At the beginning of its
dissolution, the Yugoslav foreign debt was £9.5bn; today, after all the ‘help’
we got from the troika, it's more than £107bn.” He continues:
But why must
Ukraine formally join either the EU or the Kremlin-sponsored Customs Union? Are
those the only options? Is it not possible for Ukraine to adopt a neutral
position of independence and peaceful trade with both sides? Would not such a
position be best for all concerned? From the available polling, it seems that
may be the view of a plurality, if not a majority, of Ukrainians.
Ukraine’s huge network of
natural gas pipelines not only supply much-needed Russian-produced gas to EU
countries, but also is the source of vital revenues to Russia from that energy
delivery system. The peoples of Russia, Ukraine and the EU benefit from a stable,
peaceful, neutral Ukraine; forcing Ukrainians into choosing one or the other
camp benefits no one — except the power-mad rulers of Russia and the EU, and
their globalist confreres.
Why then, should Americans take direction from
George Soros, Barack Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, the New York Times,
Washington Post, CNN, John McCain and other internationalist voices who
insist it is Ukraine that must “choose” … but the only choice considered
acceptable and legitimate to the globalist choir is for Ukraine to join the EU?
Soros and his huge stable of “public intellectuals” at Project Syndicate
have been flooding the global media with propaganda to that purpose. As we’ve
reported previously, Project Syndicate is a project
of George Soros’ Open Society Foundation that has sprouted into a network of
nearly 500 newspapers in more than 150 countries with worldwide circulation of
over 70 million copies. According to the syndicate’s web site, it is the
largest syndication of independent commentators in the world.
However, his great wealth, foundations, media presence and network of activist
NGOs notwithstanding, George Soros’ power and influence — in Ukraine and
elsewhere — stem not so much from these oft-cited trappings of power, but from
the fact that he is a player, an
Insider, in the top rank of globalists who are pushing and shoving “global
governance” upon the entire planet. This was formally recognized in November
2010 when Soros received the “Globalist of the Year Award” from the Canadian
International Council (CIC).
Soros' real heft derives
from the fact that he is a member of the globalist power elite. First and
foremost, he is a member of (and leader in and major financial supporter of)
the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the premier
globalist brain trust that has become the de facto governing force within the
executive branch of the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve System, as well
as Democrat and Republican parties, for most of the past century. His Soros
Fund Management is a President’s Circle Corporate Member of the CFR and Soros
himself served as a director of the CFR for a decade (1995-2004). In addition,
he has been a key participant in many CFR events, including serving as presider
at the CFR’s 2000 conference, “Latin America: Sustaining Economic &
Political Reform,” a major sendoff promoting the Free Trade Area of the
America’s (FTAA).
Further, he has been an activist participant with,
and sometime funder of, important globalist organizations such as the Brookings
Institution, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the World Policy
Conference, the World Economic Forum, the International Crisis Group, the
Clinton Global Initiative, the Bilderberg Group, the U.S. State Department, the
Gorbachev Foundation, the United Nations, and The Good Club (an exclusive billionaire club — whose
members include Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, David Rockefeller, Ted Turner,
Michael Bloomberg, and Oprah Winfrey — with the singular purpose of pushing
global population control). Per the UN, Soros has served on a number of
boards and advisory groups promoting a global “Tobin Tax” on financial
transactions, global controls on CO2 to stop “Climate Change,”
dramatically expanding the powers and funding of the International Monetary
Fund, and massive global wealth redistribution through the UN’s Millennium
Development Goals.
Many of Soros’ critics on both the Left and the Right ignore these facts and
treat Soros as if he is a singular earthshaking force all on his own. Focusing
solely on his grant distributions, political donations, NGO networks, etc.,
they greatly exaggerate his importance, which can act as a diversion to
distract liberty-minded advocates from focusing on the bigger picture. Taken in
isolation, without his tie-ins to the CFR-globalist network of power, Soros’
global impact would be, not insignificant, but marginal. It is precisely
because he is one of many super-wealthy globalists (albeit , he is far more
visible and vocal than most) acting in concert that his impact is so
remarkable.
Especially noteworthy in relation to Ukraine is his key involvement in
the American-Ukrainian Advisory Committee (AUAC). The Ukrainian Weekly
of December 10, 1995, reported:
Among
other things, the AUAC called upon the U.S. Congress, USAID, the IMF, the World
Bank, and the EU to shower the Ukrainian government (then run by “former”
Communist Leonid Kuchma). It also encouraged the Ukrainian government to hasten
“privatization” by selling “blocks of equity to private investors.” Kuchma
followed their advice and, as in the
former Soviet Union, his false “privatization” scheme transferred enormous
state assets into the hands of select Communist Party members, creating instant
billionaire oligarchs, who have dominated Ukraine ever since. Sitting on
the UAUC with Soros were one-world CFR heavyweights Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry
Kissinger, Frank Carlucci, and Richard Burt. The same one-worlders are pushing
the same agenda today, two decades later.
Oligarchs R Us
One of the billionaire oligarchs who benefitted from the Ukraine’s crony
privatization program is Victor Pinchuk, with whom Soros has been very active.
Soros’s foundations and The Victor Pinchuk Foundation collaborate on funding
many NGOs and projects, in Ukraine and elsewhere. And Soros is a participant in
Pinchuk’s Yalta European Strategy (YES) conferences, annual extravaganzas held
in the Crimea at Livadia Palace, a summer retreat of Russian czars on the Black
Sea. The YES confabs feature current and former presidents, prime ministers,
potentates, financiers, corporate execs and celebrities.
Besides Soros, U.S. participants have included Bill
Clinton, William Daley (Obama’s White House Chief of Staff), Robert Zoellick
(Bush’s Trade representative, then president of the World Bank), Newt Gingrich,
and Condoleezza Rice, to name a few — Democrats and Republicans, CFR globalists
all.
Pinchuk, a pal and funder
of both Bill and Hillary Clinton, not only has generously supported Bill’s
Clinton Global Initiative, but also has poured more than $13 million into the
Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. Another
close tie is Douglas E. Schoen (CFR), a longtime Clinton operative and
political consultant, whom, according to the New York Times, Mr. Pinchuk
hired as an adviser in 2000 — and to whom the oligarch has been paying a tidy
retainer of $40,000 per month ever since.
One of the important
ventures that Soros and Pinchuk are financing is the Ukrainian Crisis Media
Center (CMC), a collaboration of Ukrainian public relations corporations and
journalists that is headquartered in Kiev’s Hotel Ukraine.
Ostensibly, it was
created to counter the propaganda onslaught of Putin’s Russian media cartel.
Much of the “independent news” we receive from Ukraine is produced by the CMC
and stamped with the Pinchuk/Soros-approved brand of propaganda. That includes
cheering on or papering over the fact that the “new” government in Kiev is
simply the latest rotation of musical chairs, and it has ended with Pinchuk’s
fellow oligarchs (virtually all of which are “former” communists) and their parliamentary
blocs and political parties occupying the most important chairs (as we reported here).
Pinchuk is a member of the Board of the Peterson Institute for International
Economics and sits on the International Advisory Council of the Brookings
Institution, both of which Soros has long been associated with. Another very important Soros-Pinchuk tie is
their mutual connection to the famous (or infamous, as you prefer) Rothschild
banking dynasty.
In 2011, George C.
Karlweis, adviser to Baron Edmond de Rothschild and his Banque Privee, revealed that it was Rothschild who provided Soros
with the startup money — and, undoubtedly much (illegal) insider trading
intelligence — for Soros' fabulously successful Quantum Fund.
The full extent of Pinchuk’s connections to the Rothschild’s global private
empire would require a similar revelation from an insider. That could be
Jean-Pierre Saltiel, who sits on the board of Pinchuk’s Yalta European
Strategy, as well as the oligarch’s global steel and metallurgy conglomerate,
Interpipe, Inc. He is also a longtime adviser to the Rothschilds and the past
president of Rothschild Conseil International, one of the fabled family’s major
bank holding companies.
Interestingly (but not so surprising), Rothschild agent
Saltiel also sits on the board of PIK Group, Russia’s largest residential real
estate developer, founded by Russian oligarchs Yuri Zhukov and Kirill
Pisaerev (and still run by Pisaraev).
Like Soros and the
Rothschilds, Ukrainian oligarch Pinchuk works with and partners with a number
of Russian oligarchs. And his YES summits regularly feature Putin-allied
Russian oligarchs, as well as Putin-appointed Russian politicians and
apparatchiks. Alfa Bank, Russia’s largest private bank, for example, is a YES
sponsor. And Alfa Bank chairman, Mikhail Fridman, a Putin ally and one of
Russia’s richest billionaires, sits on the CFR’s International Advisory Board
and provided the funds to create the CFR’s “Russia and Russian-American
Relations Lecture” program. Similarly, Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine’s richest
oligarch, a former Putin-Yanukovych supporter and ally, is now a member of the
new government. He is also, along with Fridman and Soros, a YES sponsor and a
business partner with Russian, EU and U.S. Insiders. What these and dozens of
other similar examples indicate is that there is much more to all of the Sturm und Drang
over the Ukraine-Russia-EU “crisis” than meets the eye.
Soros gave a strong clue
as to what the scripted outcome of the scenario would likely be. His solution
would see Russia as a “partner,” and Angela Merkel (the "former"
Communist from East Germany who now runs the unified Germany) would be the
broker.
“Germany should take the
lead,” Soros said, in his February 26 Project Syndicate column cited above.
“Chancellor Angela Merkel must reach out to President Vladimir Putin to ensure
that Russia is a partner, not an opponent, in the Ukrainian renaissance.”
Putin as Prod for
"Convergence"
Merkel appears to be doing just the opposite, threatening Putin with
sanctions, including freezing of Russian bank accounts and restrictions on
travel in the EU, unless Putin “deescalates” the situation and comes to the
bargaining table. But, in reality, she is “reaching out” to Putin, and he,
after providing what is deemed an appropriate level of drama, will likely come
to the table and deescalate.
Contrary to the Russia’s current bellicose
posturing, it is in the Kremlin’s interests to offload Ukraine onto the
taxpayers of the EU and the United States, and it fits perfectly with their long-term strategy of “convergence” with the EU
and the United States.
Anatoliy Golitsyn, arguably the most important KGB defector to escape to the
West, exposed the top-secret Soviet convergence strategy in his books New
Lies for Old and The Perestroika Deception. (See here, here, and here.) Mikhail Gorbachev was making oblique reference
to the ongoing reality of the convergence process when he described the EU as “the new European Soviet.”
As in the transmutation described in Orwell’s Animal Farm, when it became almost impossible to
tell the pigs from the men, it is now becoming all but impossible to detect any
substantive differences between the ruling elites of Russia, China, the EU and
the United States. And, as the EU and the United States adopt more
socialist policies and police-state measures, there is less and less
distinction between our societies and the one ruled over by Putin and his
Kremlin cronies.
Soros, Pinchuk, Putin, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Fridman,
Zhukov, Pisaerev, Akhmetov, and their ilk see themselves as the Caesars or Pharaohs in their
long-schemed-for “new world order,” a term that Soros used several times in a
television interview (see here) to describe his vision for the future.
Employing the indispensible insight and analysis
provided by Golitsyn and the detailed information in his books, it is difficult
to view the orchestrated chaos that has been unfolding in Ukraine without
recognizing unmistakable evidence that it is being directed along a pre-planned
path toward EU-U.S.-Ukraine-Russian convergence. Putin’s role is to rattle the
sabers menacingly enough to frighten
reluctant Ukraine to join the EU, while also convincing American and EU
taxpayers to be forthcoming with the foreign aid and IMF funding that will
“rescue” Ukraine and avert a war. And, after things settle down, we will
look around to find Putin and his oligarchs carrying on business as usual with
the new Ukraine government and its oligarchs, as well as with the Obama
administration and “our” oligarchs, including, of course, George Soros.
We have seen this play many times before. In their book, The Wise Men, a
hagiographic portrait of six CFR luminaries, authors Walter Isaacson (CFR) and
Evan Thomas record a conversation in which top CFR insider and Marshall Plan
architect John J. McCloy explained how he and fellow internationalists sold the
scheme to Americans by pretending it was needed to fight Soviet Communism.
Isaacson and Thomas quote McCloy:
And McCloy was far
from the only one. Dean Acheson, another of the CFR “Wise Men,” did
likewise. "Acheson," Isaacson and Thomas note, "concluded that the
anti-Communist rhetoric was necessary to win support for the British
package."
Now, the point is not that there was no Soviet Communist threat at the time;
the threat was definitely real. The point is that McCloy, Acheson, and their
CFR cohorts had no intention of fighting communism and they knew that the Marshall Plan was certainly
no anti-Communist program. In fact, it transferred billions of dollars from
American taxpayers into the coffers of Europe’s socialist parties and
politicians, and especially into the movements to create the European Coal and
Steel Community, the nascent seed of the European Union.
Far from being anti-Communists, McCloy, Acheson, Averill Harriman, Charles
Bohlen, Robert Lovett, and other CFR engineers
of the Marshall Plan were ardent anti-anti-Communists who orchestrated vicious
campaigns against genuine anti-Communists such as Chiang Kai-Shek, Gen.
George S. Patton, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Sen. Robert
Taft, and Robert Welch. And, all the while McCloy and company were promoting and
deploying the Marshall Plan — ostensibly to combat Communism — they were also
continuing the longstanding policies of previous CFR-dominated administrations
of providing enormous financial and technological aid to the Soviet Union, as
this publication and the detailed books of Prof. Antony Sutton (The Best
Enemy Money Can Buy, National Suicide, and his three-volume Western
Technology and Soviet Economic Development) thoroughly exposed. But, no matter, the CFR “Wise Men” knew that
the vast majority of Americans were anti-Communist and if they wanted to sell
their program to Americans they’d have to fraudulently
package it as an anti-Communist one.
It is not mere coincidence that George Soros and
other globalists are invoking the Marshall Plan and Cold War rhetoric today,
and citing Putin’s revived Soviet-style militarism, to sell their latest EU-IMF
convergence gambit. It has worked for them many times in the past. So, for
weeks we have been treated to the incredibly odd spectacle of George Soros,
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Ivo Daalder, et al, and the denizens
of the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and PBS vying
for the honor of claiming Joe McCarthy’s mantle.
Will we fall for it again? Americans would be wise to call a halt to this
orchestrated rush to push Ukraine into the arms of Manuel Barroso, Mario Draghi
and Christine Lagarde — and to stick us, and the Ukrainian people, with the
bill.
