Yes, Soros is a rich manipulative old fart, and yes he found a mantra many would follow. Even with his stated motives and ideas, it's simply just another rich gut trying to control as much as possible. Pretty much like all the ultra-rich are, and of course crooked AF politicians flock to them
Same as it ever was...
We literally had a group of wealthy men, one the father and grandfather of future Presidents, try and coerce an American General to execute a military coup. Thankfully Butler wasn't corruptable, but not one damn thing happened to the scheming industrialists.
Here's the rub though, George Soros isn't running the ship anymore. He turned all control over to his kid Alex, so when the media starts pointing out George Soros this and George Soros that, I start to think "where's Alex".
As to Butler, yeah, the Business Plot was messed up. FDR was most likely the person behind that as an attempt to get the sympathy nod from the public for pushing through all those Marxist Programs (granted some were needed but could have been canceled later on but weren't). The whole affair behind the Business Plot seemed more like a two-pronged attack to punish Butler for siding with the Great War vets that got the shaft by the Government, as well as discredit Butler as a mental case to prevent him from running for office. The second prong was, I believe, that sympathy nod from the public since the Business Plot made FDR look like the victim without really being victimized.
Quite honestly, I'm surprised Biden hasn't tried that kind of crap yet.
