Soros and the World Bank Coup Attempt

We all know George Soros is pure evil. He has another cohort in Mark Malloch Brown, a real lowlife if ever there was one.

Mr. Malloch Brown, remember, was until last year Kofi Annan's deputy at the United Nations. In that position, he distinguished himself by spinning away the $100 billion Oil for Food scandal as little more than a blip in the U.N.'s good work, and one that had little to do with Mr. Annan himself. Last week, Mr. Malloch Brown was named vice president of the Quantum Fund, the hedge fund run by his billionaire friend George Soros. A former World Bank official himself and ally of soon-to-be British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Mr. Malloch Brown would almost surely be a leading candidate to replace Mr. Wolfowitz should he step down. Not surprisingly, Gordon Brown cold-shouldered Mr. Wolfowitz at a recent meeting in Brussels.

Soros is also sticking his beak into Israeli affairs by working with his little thugs at Media Matters.

Furthermore, Soros funds Media Matters- purportedly a media "monitoring" group. However, the group has an agenda. The group has been criticized for trying to censor the news by its criticisms and for "spinning" the news so as to give its readers a particular view of the events of the day.

One new group has been launched to deliver its choices of news and opinion to stovepipe to decision-makers and media outlets; the other group was formed to pressure media outlets regarding their presentations of the news. Seems as if an effort is being made to mold the news in a particular direction -- one that may not be favorable towards Israel or the American-Israel relationship.

Be very wary of any "news" you hear from that propaganda outfit.

UPDATE: Also at Pat Dollard, as noted by Fight4TheRight.

Anatomy of a Smear

Check out The Wolfowitz Files at Opinion Journal.

I haven't paid all that much attention to this Paul Wolfowitz story, since he's one of those dreaded Bush neocons and I just don't trust most of the media's reportage when it comes to Wolfowitz.

This, however, is really disgraceful.

The World Bank released its files in the case of President Paul Wolfowitz's ethics on Friday, and what a revealing download it is. On the evidence in these 109 pages, it is clearer than ever that this flap is a political hit based on highly selective leaks to a willfully gullible press corps.

Mr. Wolfowitz asked the World Bank board to release the documents, after it became possible the 24 executive directors would adjourn early Friday morning without taking any action in the case. This would have allowed Mr. Wolfowitz's anonymous bank enemies to further spin their narrative that he had taken it upon himself to work out a sweetheart deal for his girlfriend and hide it from everyone.

The documents tell a very different story--one that makes us wonder if some bank officials weren't trying to ambush Mr. Wolfowitz from the start. Bear with us as we report the details, because this is a case study in the lack of accountability at these international satrapies.
