George Soros is giving a public lecture at 1pm in the New Lecture Theatre at the London School of Economics tomorrow (Tuesday 31 March) entitled 'What can the G20 do? The case for Special Drawing Rights.' It is open to all on a first come first served basis.

George Soros is a notorious currency speculator. His speculation on sterling led to the black wednesday crisis that sparked the 1992 recession. This recession led to a dramatic rise in unemployment to a level of 10% by 1993. He 'earned' billions from it. He later repeated his success by gambling on South East Asian currencies and contributing to the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 which bankrupted several countries propelling them into asking for IMF loans which led to neoliberal restructuring of their economies. The multibillionaire was convicted for insider trading in France in 2002 and fined $2.3 million.

The New Theatre is on Houghton Street in central London nearest tubes are Holborn and Temple. Maps can be found here  http://www2.lse.ac.uk/mapsAndDirections/Home.aspx. Start the protests early by demonstrating against one of the most notorious capitalists around!

Soros or Larouche

Soros is a corrupt excuse for a human, like many multi-billionaires. However he is also regularly demonised by LaRouchies for being a promoter of marijuana. On sites like his beware of Larouchie criticism. Larouche is another Rev Moon and these cults do sometimes post here.

Louise Arbour and Soros

Soros controls a think tank called International Crisis Group. President is Louise Arbour former UN Human Rights head involved in doing Madelaine Albright's bidding re: indicting Milosovic and also covering up an investigation into Paul Kagame's involvement in the murder of AFrican presidents, as part of a US coup, precipitating a coup/regime change/"genocide" in Rwanda. Soros is bad to the bone. As is Arbour
