Alex Soros talks the tragedy of Trump, takes shots at Orbán, Musk
By Liz Heflin | Remix News | January 24, 2025
A Financial Times interview with Alex Soros, now the head of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, revealed some interesting takes.
FT editor Roula Khalaf was all praise for the younger Soros, stating, as quoted by a review of the article in Mandiner, “History matters to him” and lauding the $32 billion given by his family to “promote democracy and human rights in Central and Eastern Europe.”
Khalaf also lamented that Soros senior has been “demonized by the right as the head of a global conspiracy, a characterization that is laced with anti-Semitic overtones.”
The paper noted that the Soroses were huge supporters of Kamala Harris, spending more than $85 million on the 2024 elections. On this front, Alex surprisingly told the paper the U.S. should regulate campaign funding as they do in Europe: “I would be happy if money didn’t play a role in politics, let’s do it, let’s do it tomorrow!”
Alex Soros also spoke about what he believes to be Trump’s fixation on his father. His current treasury secretary nominee, Scott Bessent, and his former treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, both previously worked for Soros’ fund manager, and Alex says Trump hires these people “because he always wanted to get into this club” or “maybe destroy it.”
Touching on OSF making massive cuts back in 2017, shrinking staff from 1,700 to 500, Alex said this was to eliminate excessive bureaucracy. Regarding rumors that OSF is turning away from Europe, he said this is not true at all and that the foundation is actually expanding in Ukraine.
He then predicted that Trump’s administration “will be very bad and tragic for a lot of people,” lamenting what he says is the new reality under the new president.
“I remember walking down the street in Rome and seeing the American embassy with the rainbow flag on it, and thinking how proud I am of my country,” he said, calling those now in charge “tyrants” and stating, “I hope Marx was right that tragedy comes first, and then farce. But I fear it will be the other way around.”
Although a jab was taken at Orbán in the article, noting Trump’s admiration for his campaign against the Soros network of NGOs, it was Musk who took a real hit. Referencing a meeting that was supposed to take place between Musk and Soros in November, Alex blamed the X CEO for missing it, saying, “I think he’s much more interested in trolling than meeting.”

The lies about the 1967 war are still more powerful than the truth
By Alan Hart | June 4, 2012
In retrospect it can be seen that the 1967 war, the Six Days War, was the turning point in the relationship between the Zionist state of Israel and the Jews of the world (the majority of Jews who prefer to live not in Israel but as citizens of many other nations). Until the 1967 war, and with the exception of a minority of who were politically active, most non-Israeli Jews did not have – how can I put it? – a great empathy with Zionism’s child. Israel was there and, in the sub-consciousness, a refuge of last resort; but the Jewish nationalism it represented had not generated the overtly enthusiastic support of the Jews of the world. The Jews of Israel were in their chosen place and the Jews of the world were in their chosen places. There was not, so to speak, a great feeling of togetherness. At a point David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s founding father and first prime minister, was so disillusioned by the indifference of world Jewry that he went public with his criticism – not enough Jews were coming to live in Israel.
So how and why did the 1967 war transform the relationship between the Jews of the world and Israel? … continue

As I’ve stated elsewhere on the net,our reinstated President does have a touch of savage (the visible kind) built into his constitution and it serves as a warning to friend and foe alike, not to mess with him. He is a descendant of the Wild West’s ilk, settler folk, mover-and-shaker class of American. Diplomats worldwide, understand that he is not faking a disposition as Nixon tried to do with his “Madman Theory”. They know, or soon will, that our returning POTUS is the real thing and has more than two jewels between his legs. I know he’s dangerous but strangely enough, I like it. Serendipity allowed him back into office and serendipity will remain there for the next four years. Sit tight, America is en route for that legendary O.K. Corral confrontation or what is now understood as The Thucydides Trap. China rising and the USD in free fall. Debts we can’t pay, obligations we can’t meet. A big Navy and seven hundred USAFB’s across the world. I can only hope that Prez Trump will make that deal he’s so good at, thereby looking the other way when China insists on their Navy lording over the protection of Chinese cargo across the Asian Pacific, Taiwan and Malacca Straits. This will entail permitting Chinese AFB’s for extended protection for all their surface vessels. Perhaps a deal can be drawn in exchange for a return to a US presence in Panama ? Dunno. We must protect at all costs, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, The Philippines and Australia from any maritime intimidation(s). Tall order. Pray brother, pray. Oh, and no tolerance for land invasions or encirclement of Taiwan.
The only hope for Taiwan rests with Xi. His has the power to bring Cuba into the limelight.For example; if the USA agrees to permit a geopolitical and even, philosophical tabula rasa for Cuba, i.e., no prisoner exchanges, no covert or overt attempts at political change, lift all sanctions including visa restrictions and or residency requirements, then China in turn will do the same for Taiwan. In short recreate a global recognition, by treaty, by UN recognition, that identifies both islands as “City States” in the same context that the UN accepted Hong Kong and now the Vatican. The language of this treaty would forbid any introduction of weaponry or domestic policy that disrupts the current balance of power by land sea or air.
ASIDE: I’m NOT suggesting that a flood of physicians from Cuba flood the USA, the AMA and unionized labor would have a fit! The professional certifications for US to Cuba or Cuba to US can be worked out in the treaty language.
Common Prez! roll the dice with Xi, invite him for a tour of Disneyland, Hollywood and Las Vegas. Let him get the feel for America’s persistent desire and it’s bizarre quest to somehow mold chaos back into geopolitical stasis. It’s twisted thinking alright but it’s there and buried deep into our MIC culture. The world must learn to accept these “national peccadilloes” because the MIC in America is all that remains of it’s upper middle class, and therein lies great political influence and power.
