Why do so many people believe that the world is controlled by a 90-year-old man like George Soros?

He is a multi-miliard Jewish philanthropist who has given $32 billion in matters he believes in. Why the extreme right from America to Australia and from Hungary to Honduras believe George Soros is at the heart of global conspiracy, the BBC's Mike Rudi asks. On a quiet morning in October [...]

On a quiet morning in October of New York last year, an envelope with a package was placed in the mailbox at the exclusive residence of the multibillion dollar owner George Soros.

That package seemed suspicious. Soon, the scene had arrived FBI and police.

Inside the envelope was a photograph of Soros where a large X with red and several other devices was placed in the box.

More than dozens of such packages were sent to President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other known Democrats, Periscope translates.

None of the equipment went off. These had also been denounced by President Donald Trump, even though he was just one who made that terrible act.

Caesar Sayoc was his name. A great supporter of Trump fighting whenever he encountered a democrat.

Everything to him seemed like a conspiracy theory, everything. George Soros was behind everything, he was the man who had bought the entire Democratic Party, he was in the spirit of what he did in the United States.” told Rudin a relative of his.

In the United Kingdom, Soros is known as the “man who broke the Bank of England” in 1992. Along with other currency speculators, he borrowed a lot of pounds, which he sold, helping to reduce the steroid price on currency markets and eventually forced the United Kingdom to collapse in the European Exchange Rating Mechanism. During this process he had won $1 billion.

The Hungarian immigrant, who survived the Holocaust and fled the Communists, is thought to have raised a total of $44 billion from financial speculation. And he has used his wealth to finance education, health, human rights and democracy projects.

The campaign in Hungary not to let Soros be the last “

Founded in 1979, his Open Society Foundation now operates in more than 120 countries around the world. But this ambitious philanthropist in support of liberal and democratic issues has made him the devil of the right.

His first conspiracy theory appeared in the 1990s. But he called attention after openly denounced Iraq's war in 2003 and began to extend millions of dollars to the Democratic Party in the US.

But it was Donald Trump's victory in the race for president that made the attacks on Soros too severe.

Eight months after Trump had won, in August 2017, neo-Nazis had held a procession in Virginia. The clashes with counter-proposors ended in the tragedy, with a white primacy driving his car into the crowd leaving a 32-year-old man named Heather Heyer dead.

The idea that Soros had been behind the violence was begun to disrupt President Trump's reputation.

And since then, attacks on Soros have only increased.

Last fall, thousands of immigrants left Honduras to go to the United States, just a month before mid-mandate elections began that weakened the republican party and lost control in Congress.

Immediately, the immigrant convoy was thrown over to Soros, translated by the BBC, Periscope.

The slander against Soros has spread throughout the United States, Armenia, Australia, Honduras, the Philippines, Russia, and many other countries.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan [Erdogan] had accused Soros of being at the heart of a Jewish conspiracy to “split” and “broken” Turkey and other nations.

Soros in Moscow in 1979

In Italy, former Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvin had accused him of wanting to fill the country with immigrants because “he liked slaves”.

But it is a country that has exceeded every limit to its accusations. It is his birthplace, Hungary, where he had spent a lot of money financing free food for schools, human rights projects, and even a new university.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his nationalist government had claimed that Soros was part of a secret plot to fill Hungary with immigrants and destroy their nation.

And after that, it is said to be Arthur Finkelstein, a political consultant who had worked for many American administrations. He had always said that these administrations should not identify the enemy with the <x0thalibly, but with Osama bin Laden” thus making the problem personified.

He had instructed Orban to find an enemy and win the election through him.
