GEORGE SOROS IS SHYLOCK (c.1600) reborn. The Bard's play The Merchant of Venice described Shylock as a Venetian Jew loan shark who would lend money by setting the borrowers' 'pound of flesh' as a security deposit. The moment the bankrupt borrower defaulted on loan installments, Shylock would call for the deposit - his pound of flesh.

A wily financial market speculator that he is, Soros, a Hungarian Jew, has mastered the art of extracting his 'pound of flesh' while hiding behind the mask of a global philanthropist. The NGOs funded by Soros often pick-up fights with states or governments, to expose their weakness or manufacture perceptions that could weaken investor confidence in the economy - the right kind of opportunity for the billionaire philanthropist and his elite cronies like the Rockefeller's and Rothschild's of the world use fully to their advantage by speculating on a given country's misfortune.

Bigger misfortunes generate large profits. Be it the toppling of a central bank or submerging countries in a deep currency crisis, Soros has notoriously thrived on short-selling operations and guerilla warfare in the financial markets. The NGOs he funds are believed by many to be linked to political upheavals and chaos across the globe. Many fingers were pointed towards Soros when he rejoiced at the well-timed attack by Hindenburg Research on Indian billionaire Gautam Adani in January this year, ahead of the group’s mega (over $3 billion) followon public offer.
