[QUOTE="Sp5, post: 1260831, member: 4337"] As usual, you make a number of factual statements without any reference except for one of the type of your usual sources, some random anonymous blog which attacks Soros and his intellectual mentor, Karl Popper. Have you read Popper's [i]The Open Society and its Enemies[/i]? As the blog acknowledges, it was one of the main anti-communist texts during the Cold War. There's nothing wrong with Popper, unless you're against freedom. But Soros ain't shit. He's just one of many billionaires. I saw some of his Open Society Institute people working in the Middle East, they were doing the usual NGO and free media development. Same shit that DFID, USAID, AusAID, UNDP, EuropeAid does. Open Society Institute's glory days were its work helping to convert Eastern Europe to free market economies. They did some impressive stuff there, lots of economists and business consultants. And it was successful - those countries have had an impressive growing in prosperity. Soros is a standard neoliberal. He's talking all the time, it's not like anything he does is secret. Then, the rest is "They . . . They .... They" Who and how? How do these "cultural marxists" control trillion dollar economies and a billion voters? Or is it "the oligarchs?" I'm going to return to Bernays and him pushing women to smoke in behalf of the American Tobacco Company, because it's very illustrative of the effect of capitalism changing values in order to open markets and increase sales. Here's a couple of key passages from a paper on the subject, [url=https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/3372908/Brandt_Recruiting.pdf]Brandt, 1996: Recruiting Women Smokers: the Engineering of Consent, Journal of the American Medical Women's Association[/url] Here's something I saw with my own eyes. It's an ad campaign for Beefeater gin I saw in Valencia a week ago. [img=250x400][URL]http://www.mccann.es/assets/contenidos/trabajos/366_1WY40slJxF.jpg[/img][/URL] [img=250x400][URL]http://www.mccann.es/assets/contenidos/trabajos/366_kzyaUD0qjX.jpg[/img][/URL] Now, those ads seem to portray a feminist message subversive of traditional values. A tatted up, pierced slut and a hard core dyke. Live and let live, I say. Is the purpose of the ads to subvert traditional values? No, it's to sell gin. They're basically subverting their own brand "Beefeater" trying to be cool. Lenny didn't provide any examples of companies wasting "billions" on "trans, fat and fag acceptance" because there aren't any. Beefeater is a brand owned by PernodRicard, a French public company. They are in it to make money, as is the advertising agency which designed the campaign, McCann. [url=https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/pdrdy]Pernod Ricard ADR stock[/url] It has a lot of brands! McCann is accountable to PernodRicard for any change in sales as a result of this campaign, and PernodRicard management is accountable to its shareholders. The performance of Beefeater in Spain and PernodRicard are not going to be secrets. It's all out in the open. I prefer seeing what's in front of me to believing in shadowy conspiracies of Soros, "the global cultural marxist juggernaut," the CFR, the Frankfurt School or da Jooos in general. [/QUOTE]
