The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat
I envisage the open society as a society open to improvement. We start with the recognition of our own fallibility, which extends not only to our mental constructs but also to our institutions
The collapse of communism laid the groundwork for a universal open society, but the Western democracies failed to rise to the occasion. The new regimes that are emerging in the former Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia bear little resemblance to open societies. The Western alliance seems to have lost its sense of purpose, because it cannot define itself in terms of a Communist menace. It has shown little inclination to come to the aid of those who have defended the idea of an open society in Bosnia or anywhere else
One thing is clear: The sudden emergence of Obama’s National Security Council Advisor, Samantha Power, and the “new theory” she is using as justification for action in Libya, has very serious implications for future military action against Israel. As John Podhoretz explains in the New York Post, the “reason” behind the Libyan military strike is not the traditional justification of “protecting the national interest.” It is a “new” standard called “R2P” or “right to protect.” This concept is being promulgated by the “one-world” order activists at the United Nations, like Samantha PowerLink

So Boon any updates on the conference? Were you correct or wrong?
Do our troops belong to the UN now?
The United States Military Observer Group in the Pentagon confirms that U.S. soldiers wear U.N. blue berets and U.N. shoulder patches as members of UNOMIG - the United Nations Observer Mission in the country of Georgia. Soldiers ordered assigned to this mission wear this U.N. uniform. What's more, they receive a United Nations physical examination before deployment to the mission and the U.N. pays some expenses associated with it. The purpose is to supervise the cease-fire between Georgia and Abkhazia. The U.S. troops take orders in the mission from a foreign commander named Major-General Kazi Ashfaq Ahmed of Bangladesh. After their service, members of UNOMIG may receive a ribbon described as "Central stripe of UN blue, flanked by white and green stripes, with dark blue edges."

to bankrupt the USA so he can start over and make the USA look like Europe.

I think Glenn Beck has already done the expose on George Soros.
Soros sure does move around a lot. He likes to hang out in Davos, Switzerland.
Have you heard any information on what was said at his secret meetings?
There had to be a few hidden cameras in there somewhere.

weird that you mention the Swiss connection. The Swiss have ties
to the Bank of China, the ones buying up US Debt. I wonder
if Soros has interest or investment in Royal Bank of Scotland.
If he does, then he has a direct tie to the Bank of China, the
ones buying US Debt.
hmmmm, interesting
Bank of China took a stake in a branch of the celebrated Rothschild banking dynasty on Thursday, but ruled out a white-knight rescue of crisis-torn institutions in New York or London.
In a deal pitched loftily above the global turmoil engulfing financial markers, the Chinese bank said it would acquire 20 per cent of La Compagnie Financiere Edmond de Rothschild, one of Europe's few remaining independent merchant banks.
Chinese officials said the move would bring them expertise in financial products, whilst their French counterparts said it would open up the lucrative Chinese market..........
....It comes after China Development Bank bought a 3.1 percent stake in Barclay's and the China Investment Corporation took a USD 5 billion slice of Morgan Stanley last year......
....Mr de Rothschild will retain 75 per cent of La Compagnie Financiere.
His bank was at pains to stress that it had no need to raise cash through a rights issue, but had bowed to the wishes of its Chinese partner. The money will be used for external growth in Europe, a spokesman said.
