The City's Golem, George Soros, Exposed in Berlin

June 24, 2010 (LPAC) — None other than the British Empire's Golem, George Soros, was slavishly invited to whip the Germans, collectively, for not overcoming their fear of hyperinflation and for being responsible for the euro-crisis, in a speech at Humboldt University of Berlin on Wednesday evening. Soros spoke on the topic of "Europe in Crisis", as part of a series titled "Forum Constitutionis Europae," organized by the Walter Hallstein Institute (see Addendum below), the Robert Bosch Stiftung, and the EU Commission. Fortunately, LaRouche Youth Movement organizers broke the Golem's spell on the ignorant and enamored alike; video material will be forthcoming.

After a disgustingly Romantic introduction from the university president, in which Soros's "survival" of the Nazi occupation of Hungary was highlighted, but not his perfidious profiteering from the liquidation of the Jews, nor his subsequent reward and recruitment into the London School of Economics, the founder and head of the WHI, Ingolf Pernice, proceeded to continue to heap praise on Soros and also on former German Foreign Minister and European Council of Foreign Relations co-chair Joschka Fischer, who was prominently seated in the front row of the audience, closest to his paymaster, Soros. Pernice attacked those filing lawsuits at the Karlsruhe Constitutional Court against the EU750 billion bail-out fund, "in the ostensible interest of the Grundgesetz," as threatening to kill the euro, for which Germany would then receive full blame. Pernice and his WHI lust for something beyond the Lisbon Treaty, claiming that "regulation of worldwide financial markets requires a global legislative and global executive power," for which he says "the EU could be the laboratory." H.G. Wells would blush at the audacity.

What followed was a piece of Delphic Sophistry, which, as one organizer noted, will go down in history along with the demonstrations of evil by Meno and Gorgias. Soros began his remarks by stating that Germany is responsible for the crisis of the euro (currency union), because it blocked a common European bail-out after Lehman Brothers in the fall of 2008, leading to the bail-out "becoming as large as it is today," and for so strictly pursuing the Maastricht criteria, which would drive Europe into deflation and stagnation "for years to come." He was emphatic in rejecting claims that he considered Germany's exit from the euro a viable option, repeating the shopworn lie that the deutschmark would immediately skyrocket in value and send Germany's economy down the tubes. Of particular note is that Soros named the transformation of the Montane Union (for steel and coal) into the European Union "piecemeal social engineering. It was some of the most successful social engineering in history."

In typical Delphic manner, Soros said the poorer countries had experienced economic bubbles, now bursting, that the Maastricht "no-bail-out" clause was the other major flaw in the construct, and that fiscal austerity, citing Keynes, would lead to "social unrest, nationalism, xenophobia, the possible end of democracies and also threaten the European Union." He then outrageously claimed that Germany was the main culprit in creating this outlook, and that Germans must therefore be brought to understand their "responsibility" and to overcome their justified, but unwarranted fears of inflation. His three marching orders to the government were:

1) To limit austerity to the poorer countries who "abused" their access to low-interest-rate loans through the euro;

2) To tighten fiscal austerity somewhat, but loosen monetary policy, for example, by allowing the ECB to buy state bonds directly from governments;

3) To "invest" in education and infrastructure ("smart electricity grids," a chimera of the Greenies).

A LaRouche organizer got in the first question, ripping into Soros's self-portrayal as an impartial, small-time hedge-fund manager and exposing him as a financier of political revolutions, and that given the derivatives bubble of 12 times the world's GDP has no future, nor will his financial status. He ended by exposing the WHI and stating that he represents the 80% of Germans who are for a reintroduction of the deutschmark. That last part caused quite a stir in the room. Clearly hard of hearing, Pernice had to repeat what he could of Simon's statement, to which Soros somewhat dryly expressed his thanks for the advice.

After some questions, amongst which were, why did Soros think Turkey's best exports were its military? And, wasn't Soros's advice merely the policies of Bernanke and Geithner, likely to cause unemployment? All of which Soros could not hear, another LaRouche organizer got in the second to last question. He stated that there were reports from earlier in the year of a meeting in Manhattan, where hedge fund managers, along with Soros's fund, planned and launched a speculative attack to drive the euro down; that other reports showed that Soros earned on average $1 billion per week from currency speculation. Knowing full well that he had none, I asked him emphatically, how these deeds affected his conscience? This drew some applause from the crowd and forced Soros onto the defensive. He dodged the question by stating that the story came from the Wall Street Journal, which Rupert Murdoch had concocted in order to sell more newspapers. Further, Soros felt further compelled to save face and showed indeed, he has no conscience, claiming he puts the public good before his private gain by promoting policies that hurt him privately. To the shout of "What about Malaysia and Indonesia in 1997?" he said nothing.

This set the stage for some good distributions of Helga Zepp-LaRouche's latest leaflet afterwards, almost everyone took, and those who hesitated, conceded when reminded, "Humboldt was against financial speculation." Outside, our organizers were harassed by Joschka Fischer himself, who tried to counter-organize students, saying, "I've known them for 40 years. Don't talk to them, they're crazy." As the saying goes, "only the dog which was hit barks" (nur getroffene Hunde bellen).

ADDENDUM: The Walter Hallstein Institute (WHI) which hosted the event, is named after Walter Hallstein who himself represented the European empire faction to such a degree, that in 1967, de Gaulle had him thrown out of his post as the first President of the Commission of the European Economic Community. Launching his crusade for an EU constitution, Law Prof. Ingolf Pernice, who occupies the Chair of Public, International and European Law at Humboldt University in Berlin, founded the WHI in 1997. From the lecture series over 10 years at WHI's Forum Constitutionis Europae (among a long list of prominent speakers you can find Angela Merkel, Sigmar Gabriel and MEP Martin Schulz, Germany) it's clear that WHI and Ingolf Pernice has personally played a leading role in preparing the German government to give up its sovereignty, and surrender to the Lisbon Treaty dictatorship.
