January 1, 2008    ECrisis starts the New Year with a new analysis of what lies beneath. Or perhaps better said....what covers over all legislative or political landscapes today on every continent and acutely seen in the USA for what little transparency reveals about these efforts. But know this: just about every single effort in Washington DC today is affected by this juggernaut. In is impossibly naive to ignore the tens of thousands of lesser known efforts and actors  whose jobs depend directly on this political money juggernaut and in fact it is quite the machine, however unpopular it remains across the U.S. Congress. While remaining unpopular, this effort continues to grow for reasons we do not know. But we do know that unless and until a leader rejects or gives back this Soros-laced money machine agenda and monies, they are locked inside their own Faustian bargain as are all who interlock with the Chavez money machine, come what may. Some believe this will fall apart naturally and others believe the overwhelmingness of the money and the rosters of paid actors will eventually be Too Big to Fail and Too Big to undo giving a false win to essentially what is unpopular and dysfunctionaly failing. We do not know the outcome of USA politics today but we do know enough to know that the core agenda, like the Soros-funded legalization of drugs, many ACLU fights which many see as trying to remove any religiosity with a heavy hand, their democracy altering activities, and of course the MOVEON.org efforts about the U.S. military are simply not that palatable to many.
 
We say beneath because much is opaque and either under reported or not reported. But this is the face of money in about 1/2 of all interconnected legislative efforts, U.S. so called foreign policy, and campaign politics today and its agenda will surprise many. We mention this because not one- not one of this expanding tree/network has yet to and doubtfully ever will- speak one word of support for functional law and order or support reduced narcoterrorism. It is all of a piece now.
 
It is folly to say that the DEMOCRACY ALLIANCE is separate and distinct from Center for American Progress.  All of it is looking like a well funded Fora de Sao Paulo now. Each is interdependent and functionally collated to leverage their message across many mediums. Nothing meaningful is performed through the U.S. Democrats without the tacit or overt approval of the key players of this singular tree of money and positioning. The same is true across Latin America through the Cuban-Chavez juggernaut. In fact, the overlap is remarkably clear.
 
All of these entities by Soros and some other names now [but it is still Soros as the el jefe here] - are positioned as the dominant infrastructure of the U.S. Democratic party and also what has come to be called "progressive" political parties in other lands which are essentially neo socialist paradigms not yet as fully known or presentable to the American public which normally rejects the Soros progressive or alternative democracy one globe....under the UN....neo socialist theory. But Soros [who should retire] dominates these efforts which has grown to a juggernaut now of about 35 to 40% of all Americans today for its scope, coloring 1/2 of the political landscape as it does. In some ways, this almost looks like a Boss Tweed cartel of offshore hedge fund and derivatives traders because that is the real/the big money here with a few random others/ a few True Believers for collateral/for show.
 
In other words, the juggernaut called the Soros-backed Clinton and Obama campaign machines [Soros has said he funds both to 'hedge' his investments] are reflected across this so called non profit effort which is nothing more than a Talking Points booster for the Soros-DNC positions, effectively commandeering all Democratic Party and so called progressive thinking because it is impossible now to stand against the persuasiveness of the wallet once bought in to. No one gets out unless they break completely. Like an easily manipulated drug addict- or any addict, it is hard to be independent once involved.  In fact, one could say, as many have said before, that the Democratic Party and the global so called progressive party today is run like a leveraged derivatives fund. Indeed it operates to protect hedge funds and derivatives funds from any legislative oversight. It is essentially a Buyers Club for protecting their capacity to avoid taxes, avoid regulations and avoid international analysis. We believe that this off shore speculative industry teamed now with global neo marxists to cast pennies to the poor [or so they promise] aegis has overwhelmed what used to be the center left of politics, notably called Labour Parties or the U.S. Democratic Party which still does not quite grasp what has happened even as whole efforts are underway to ruinously "redistribute wealth" by the neo socialist agenda, affecting everyone- everyone that is except the inner circle of Soros style money men who are sheltered from accountability since the 1998 Soros-Clinton White House accords or mandates to shelter all off shore tax shelters per se as long as these are couched under hedge or derivatives speculations which of course are not any longer. The larger peril- and we remain no conspiracy theorists- is that now each arm overlaps the next in leveraging the outcome for maximum effect while distancing naturally occurring individualism always essential for democracy. Something essential and individual gets lost in this massive juggernaut.
 
Essentially we have no problems with a hedge fund or a derivatives fund just as we have no problem with free trade. But we do resent the amassing of massive monies behind a political juggernaut which plays not by normal rules/lurks essentially hidden and off shore and plays to benefit its inclusive own, while promising a better life "for the poor" through statist handouts such as socialized medicine, Liberation theology for the neo Marxists, and a global so called judicial system, not our own. You see a politically liberal left effort ostensibly benign or caring supposedly to help the global labor unions and the poor through statist give aways, in an odd conversion of what we call law and order, and social contracts also called neo socialism, couched with enormously self enriching speculative folks now dominating about 1/2 of the USA and global politics. It is also wrong thinking to blame the USA for this welter of global efforts. The USA does not promote this per se....it simply failed to deflate this and has allowed the Soros tree of neo socialism to grow while no one- no one at all takes the time to review who many Latin politicians now work or worked under the money with or for Soros like Lagos or Insulza of Chile, like Toledo of Peru, like Gaviria of Colombia and many others. tragically in Latin America, these Soros-backed actors and politicians are either enabling the Chavez and Correa bloc of anti-democracies and criminal thugs or else refuse to meaningfully stand for much of anything except tepid, wimpy so called progressive leftism.
 
It is also notable that these same efforts are backing what is a global effort to undo what used to be called the Washington Consensus or rule of law in favor is what they fund, esp. overseas, ripping up over 1/2 of Latin America, which is called alternative democracy which is not democracy or rule by the consent of the governed at all. Each of these groups as noted in the report below are the sap of the tree whose bark contains now hundreds of newish groups to expand this alternative to functioning democracy called neo socialism or alternative democracy or populism, sometimes called narcodemocracies. By design, the names are fluid. Key to this entire effort is the promotion that the U.S. military is never exactly supportable, money laundering and narcotics should be more readily available, law and order must be restructured, the U.S. and all other courts should be made more "societally" impacted, and that the U.S. and all other constitutions deserve an overhaul by national referenda.
 
Concurrently, many Americans sustain a belief that the U.S. constitution is just all right with them and that what they now consider U.S. law and order is also just all right. Many Americans do not chose to surrender their constitution and their laws and norms to an uber-court under the UN as all the Soros groups promote.
 
Scratch the surface and you will see hundreds of these off shoot groups- the bark of that tree- now carrying water for the main juggernaut which funds BOTH the Clinton and Obama campaigns as well as numerous anti USA efforts, anti-Colombia efforts and anti trade actors.
 
For all of this of course is one essential: the Soros tree of actors is concerned with one thing and one thing only: retaining the global right, as they define it, to never have anyone look under their bed or be accountable for their offshore hedge funds and derivatives trading. This of course smacks of the Russian money mobs now involving Rafael Correa, Hugo Chavez and Iran, among others. All the rest of these so called populist efforts are to guarantee this one massive promise- protection of non taxation and no legal oversight to hedge funds per se. All the rest are but a huge coalition to serve this end through the lures of state-funded societal give aways.
 
We hope you will take a long look at this. What used to be a few pro drugs efforts such as the Soros- Ethan Nadelman's pro drug efforts such as often seen with WOLA and other US AID funded activists across the Andes, are now under/inside this so called alternative democracy movement and it is essential to grasp the wordsmithing for it also carries legal changes and propaganda.

And when we wish a Happy New Year...in jail! we extend this wish to all our money launderers, all our drug runners, kidnappers, paid goon squads, and murderers and all who aid and abet narcoterror. May you be in jail, with all the due process you deny the common man, for your criminality. And to the rest of mankind we wish a happy and rewarding new year full of the promise of liberty which is worth defending.
