Got a mail that says it is from Judicial Watch Washington DC

In it they state George Soros (2 operations) need to be investigated.....
I've thought George Soros was a supporter of democratic ideals
I want some feed back because this sounds like it might be a conservative organization
and I believe some of you on this board are hidden conservatives (you don't identify yourselves as much) but any one with a brain can figure it out by watching your posts
And to the judges of posts on this site, this doesn't not name any one in particular unless no organization is allowed to be named
no reason the hold back this post

But Klayman and JW have been suing each other after a falling out.

Judicial Watch itself is a nutsoid far-right group, suing the Clintons constantly.

They also had "proof" that there was an ISIS training camp near the Texas/Mexico border, that they never could find.

masquerading under the name Judicial Watch. Their idea of justice is to lock up everyone opposed to the Republican Party.

Organizations funded by Soros were instrumental in spreading democratic ideals throughout the world but especially in Eastern Europe. He helped speed the fall of the Soviet Union.

And something everyone needs to know. Soros was Hungarian. Hungary was governed by Admiral Horthy until 1944 when Horthy, under pressure from Hitler in Gemany, increased the deportation of Jews to prison camps.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikl%C3%B3s_Horthy

By 1944, the Axis was losing the war, and the Red Army was at Hungary's borders. Fearing that the Soviets would overrun the country, Kállay, with Horthy's approval, put out numerous feelers to the Allies. He even promised to surrender unconditionally to them once they reached Hungarian territory. An enraged Hitler summoned Horthy to a conference in Klessheim (today in Austria). He pressured Horthy to make greater contributions to the war effort and again commanded him to assist in the killing of more of Hungary's Jews.[citation needed] Horthy now permitted the deportation of a large number of Jews (the generally accepted figure is 100,000), but would not go further.[47]

The conference was a ruse. As Horthy was returning home on 19 March, the Wehrmacht invaded and occupied Hungary. Horthy was told he could only stay in office if he dismissed Kállay and appointed a new government that would fully cooperate with Hitler and his plenipotentiary in Budapest, Edmund Veesenmayer. Knowing the likely alternative was a gauleiter who would treat Hungary in the same manner as the other countries under Nazi occupation, Horthy acquiesced and appointed his ambassador to Germany, General Döme Sztójay, as prime minister. The Germans originally wanted Horthy to reappoint Béla Imrédy (who had been prime minister from 1938 to 1939), but Horthy had enough influence to get Veesenmayer to accept Sztójay instead. Contrary to Horthy's hopes, Sztójay's government eagerly proceeded to participate in the Holocaust.[citation needed]

The chief agents of this collaboration were Andor Jaross, the Minister of the Interior, and his two rabidly anti-Semitic state secretaries, László Endre and László Baky (later to be known as the "Deportation Trio&quot . On 9 April, Prime Minister Sztójay and the Germans obligated Hungary to place 300,000 Jewish people at the "disposal" of the Reich, in effect, sentencing most of Hungary's remaining Jews to death.[citation needed] Five days later, on 14 April, Endre, Baky, and SS Colonel Adolf Eichmann commenced the deportation of the remaining Hungarian Jews. The Yellow Star, Ghettoization laws, and deportation were accomplished in less than 8 weeks with the help of the new Hungarian government and authorities. The deportation of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz began on 14 May 1944 and continued at a rate of 12-14,000 a day until 24 July.[48]

Upon learning about the deportations, Horthy wrote the following letter to the prime minister:

Dear Sztójay: I was aware that the Government in the given forced situation has to take many steps that I do not consider correct, and for which I can not take responsibility. Among these matters is the handling of the Jewish question in a manner that does not correspond to the Hungarian mentality, Hungarian conditions, and, for the matter, Hungarian interests. It is clear to everyone that what among these were done by Germans or by the insistence of the Germans was not in my power to prevent, so in these matters I was forced into passivity. As such, I was not informed in advance, or I am not fully informed now, however, I have heard recently that in many cases in inhumaneness and brutality we exceeded the Germans. I demand that the handling of the Jewish affairs in the Ministry of Interior be taken out of the hands of Deputy Minister László Endre. Further more, László Baky's assignment to the management of the police forces should be terminated as soon as possible.[23]

Soros was a teenager of 15 when WWII ended. A lot of the internet stories about Soros are false, incredible even considering the history of the time. I have no personal tie to George Soros, but there is just so much false information about him on the internet. Can't be true. He was 15 when the war ended, and Hungary was, during most of the war, very anti-communist, but not under Hitler's direct control. Please learn the truth about this.
