== Early life ==
George Soros' birth name was György Schwartz, his family name was changed in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros to avoid [[antisemitism]]. The name "Soros" is itself derived from an esperanto word "''Sori''", which means "To Soar".<ref>[https://www.newsmax.com/FastFeatures/george-soros/2015/05/14/id/644564/ George Soros Facts: 7 Things You Might Not Know About Billionaire], [[NewsMax]]</ref> George Soros later said that he "grew up in a [[Jewish]], anti-semitic home," and that his parents were "uncomfortable with their religious roots."<ref>{{cite|author=Slater, R. |title="Soros: The Unauthorized Biography", page 30 |publisher=McGraw-Hill |date= 09-30-2007}}</ref> Soros is an [[Atheism|atheist]].<ref>[http://www.traditionalvalues.org/modules.php?sid=1852 Atheist George Soros Funds MoveOn.org Traditional Values Coalition, August 27, 2004]</ref>
In 1947, George Soros emigrated from Hungary to EnglandLondon, where an event occurred that greatly influenced the development of George's personality and worldview. After taking a temporary job as a railroad porter around Christmas time, he broke his leg and was cared for by England's the [[National Health Service]],<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=6W3_AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA4 The Philanthropy of George Soros: Building Open Societies]</ref> free of charge, while the Jewish relief agencies of that era did not offer him the help he believed they owed him. In that event was born Soros' favorable opinion of Democratic Socialism, and his negative view of many Jewish groups.
Soros' immediate family joined him in the West in the mid-Fifties.
==Career==
During his years in EnglandLondon, Soros worked for his first job in finance at Singer & Friedlander, a merchant bank founded in 1907.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=v_-dfpjo3rcC&pg=PA17 Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World]</ref> In 1956 he moved to New York, working for the firm F.

Soros wrote:{{quotebox-float|"There is a conflict between his beliefs and his actions and between his public declarations of wanting to make [[China]] a [[superpower]] and his behavior as a domestic ruler. These internal contradictions have revealed themselves in the context of the growing conflict between the U.S. and China. At the heart of this conflict is the reality that the two nations represent systems of governance that are diametrically opposed. The U.S. stands for a [[democratic]], open society in which the role of the government is to protect the freedom of the individual. Mr. Xi believes [[Mao Zedong]] invented a superior form of organization, which he is carrying on: a [[totalitarian]] closed society in which the individual is subordinated to the [[one-party state]]. It is superior, in this view, because it is more disciplined, stronger and therefore bound to prevail in a contest. Relations between China and the U.S. are rapidly deteriorating and may lead to war. ... The Chinese people as a whole are among his victims, but domestic political opponents and [[religious]] and [[ethnic]] minorities suffer from his persecution much more. I find it particularly disturbing that so many Chinese people seem to find his [[social-credit]] surveillance system not only tolerable but attractive… ...he wants China to become the dominant power in the world. He is also convinced that the Chinese Communist Party needs to be a [[Marxism-Leninism|Leninist]] party, willing to use its political and military power to impose its will. Xi Jinping strongly felt this was necessary to ensure that the [[Chinese Communist Party]] will be strong enough to impose the sacrifices needed to achieve his goal. To prevail in 2022, Mr. Xi has turned himself into a [[dictator]]. Instead of allowing the party to tell him what policies to adopt, he dictates the policies he wants it to follow. State media is now broadcasting a stunning scene in which Mr. Xi leads the [[Politburo Standing Committee|Standing Committee of the Politburo]] in slavishly repeating after him an oath of loyalty to the party and to him personally. This must be a humiliating experience, and it is liable to turn against Mr. Xi even those who had previously accepted him. …In other words, he has turned them into his own yes-men, abolishing the legacy of [[Deng]]’s consensual rule. With Mr. Xi there is little room for [[checks and balances]]. He will find it difficult to adjust his policies to a changing reality, because he rules by intimidation. His underlings are afraid to tell him how reality has changed for fear of triggering his anger."<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/look-whos-calling-xi-jinping-the-most-dangerous-enemy-of-open-societies-in-the-world/</ref>}} == Anti-Semitism of Soros ==[[File:G.

=== Support for the homosexual agenda ===
{{See also|Homosexual agenda}}
In the United States, Soros promoted the Gay Straight Alliance, which is responsible for the "toilet war" in [[North Carolina]]. In 2014, he donored about half-million dollars to ''Justice at Stake'', a homosexual organization that is committed to "the defence of [[diversity]]," a code word for [[Homo-fascism#LGBTI Bundling|LGBTI bundling]], in the courts.<ref>{{cite web |title=Einwanderung, Abtreibung, Homosex, Klimawandel – die ganze (linke) Agenda des George Soros |publisher=Katholisches, Magazin für Kirche und Kultur |url=http://www.katholisches.info/2016/08/einwanderung-abtreibung-homosex-klimawandel-die-ganze-linke-agenda-des-george-soros/ |quote=LGBT Ein nicht minder großes Betätigungsfeld von Open Society ist der Kampf gegen „Homophobie“, die als neue Form des „Rassismus“ bezeichnet wird. Auch in diesem Fall wurden im Vorfeld der Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament besonders intensiv Gelder an zahlreiche Homo-Organisationen ausgeschüttet. Die Aktion hieß LGBT Mob-Watch Europe 2014 mit dem Ziel, „die Stimme und die Forderungen der LGBT Community und ihrer Verbündeten für die Europawahlen zu mobilisieren und zu kanalisieren“. Dank der von DC Leaks enthüllten Dokumente wird es in Zukunft nicht mehr möglich sein, die Existenz einer Homo-Lobby zu leugnen. Zu den Nutznießern gehört selbstverständlich Ilga Europe, das Gelder für das Projekt European elections 2014 Cross-communities Mobilization Project for a Universal and Indivisible EU Equality Agenda erhielt. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf den USA, wo Soros die Gay Straight Alliance förderte, die für den „Toiletten-Krieg“ in Nord Carolina verantwortlich ist. Eine halbe Million Dollar flossen 2014 an Justice at Stake, eine Homo-Organisation, die sich für die „Verteidigung der Diversität“ bei Gerichten einsetzt. Denn, so heißt es in einem nun veröffentlichten Dokument, „eine größere Diversität in den Büros der Richter verbessert die Qualität der Justiz für alle Bürger“. Was damit gemeint sein dürfte, kann man anhand der homophilen Urteile verschiedener US-Gerichte erahnen. |language=German}}</ref>In [[Hungary]], Soros funds [[Central European University]] that teaches [[Gender ideology|Gender studies]] courses.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hungary to stop financing gender studies courses: PM aide |date=14 Aug 2018 |publisher=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hungary-government-education/hungary-to-stop-financing-gender-studies-courses-pm-aide-idUSKBN1KZ1M0 |accessdate=24 Oct 2018 |quote=Gender studies courses are taught at the state-run university ELTE and Central European University, which are among the top universities in Hungary. ...

Those countries are the [[Philippines]], [[Russia]], [[Turkey]], [[Poland]], [[Pakistan]] and his native Hungary.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcDZqMgjYM0 George Soros Now BANNED From 6 Nations!!!] at Dr. Steve Turley YouTube channel</ref> Most recently, his organization has been cracked down on in [[Myanmar]].
