Soros drives deeper into your wallet

Soros at Obama fundraiser, NYC,  April 2007

The ever vigilant Lonely Conservative reports on Dinosaur Bar-B-Que owner and international puppetmaster George Soros' latest hedge fund.  Soros' new fund will "invest in green energy" projects, which Lonely explains is simply a mechanism for stealing more taxpayer cash:

George Soros, funder of all things progressive, is starting a “green energy” hedge fund that will profit from the policies enacted by his political beneficiaries. My, isn’t that convenient?

 And who did Soros hire to lead this band of  green gonifs? 

Soros hired Cathy Zoi to run his new hedge fund, the same Cathy Zoi who worked for the Obama administration at the same time the President and Vice President were touting her husband’s company that they showered with taxpayer dollars. Now Zoi and Soros stand to profit from the policies she helped put into place.

Someone should make copies of LC's post and hand them out in front of the Dinosaur.

Soros behind anti-fracking film?

Soros

Our self-anointed elites have been showing each other the anti-fracking propaganda film "Gasland" for what seems to have been forever.  And how does that low-budget video production find its way into movie theaters and fire halls throughout the Finger Lakes?  Where does a struggling independent filmmaker find the resources to distribute his work so widely and so quickly?

The hard working Lonely Conservative and Ed Lasky at American Thinker provide the connection to billionaire patron of the arts and Dinosaur Bar-B-Que owner George Soros:

...Gasland has provided fuel for critics of shale gas development. I have speculated, with good reason, that Democrats are trying to stop the tapping of this vast resource and that major Democratic donor George Soros would be a beneficiary if shale gas were stopped in its tracks. His bought and paid for group, MoveOn.Org, has diverted from its typical topics of interest and has thrown itself into the battle over shale gas.

This brings me back to Gasland, a documentary that was run on the HBO network and that also may have prompted a 60 Minutes report on shale gas. Did Gasland really come out of nowhere, or did it benefit from the helping hands of George Soros?

Gasland was shown at the Sundance Film Festival -- that was the first step in its journey to make the bigtime (including the HBO screenings). Gasland got a major boost in prominence when it landed a coveted spot at Sundance.

This was quite an accomplishment since most entries are rejected. Yet Gasland survived the winnowing process.

Did it have friends in powerful places who helped?

The Sundance Institute receives funding from  George Soros; furthermore, the Sundance Documentary Film Fund was formerly known as the Soros Documentary Fund. Soros and his Open Society Institute have given many millions of dollars to the Sundance Institute. The officials who run Sundance know their donors and their special interests.

George Soros is invested in offshore oil drilling in Brazil.  The Obama administration is subsidizing that drilling with two billion US tax dollars.  Preventing domestic energy production is good for Soros, bad for the US economy, and very good for our enemies.

Finger Lakes taxpayers funding Soros executive's expensive hobbies

Patterson and Southampton swells dig, you pay

The Times Union reports that our  lame duck, governor-by-accident David Patterson has dished out $16 million to fund, among other activities deemed critical to every Finger Lakes taxpayer,

...chess tournaments in New York City, foreign trade offices in Chile and Australia, and to promote a New Jersey Super Bowl in four years with the National Football League...

 The money was approved the day after Paterson demanded the Legislature return to pare spending and assist in reducing a $315 million budget gap so this year's shortfall won't roll into next year's $9 billion deficit. The governor said he wants the Legislature to work with him to make cuts "to clear my conscience" that he had done whatever he could to spare the next administration a bigger budget mess.

Among the Patterson-selected recipients of our confiscated cash is the Parrish Art Museum in The Hamptons on Long Island.  Among the members of the Parrish's Board of Trustees is one David K. Wossong.  Wossong's day job is Managing Director of Soros Fund Management, which means he works for billionaire convicted felon George Soros.

Wossong also appears to be the connection that resulted in Soros' 2009 takeover of Syracuse's formerly beloved Dinosaur Bar-B-Que!  Per the Post Standard,

The Soros investment in the Dinosaur was never announced. In June 2009, at least a year after the sale, a reporter for the Albany Times Union discovered it in documents the Dino submitted to the Troy Industrial Development Authority.

We suspect Dave and his friends in the Hamptons could fund this museum without taking tax money coerced from struggling Finger Lakes families.  Patterson used some legal mumbo-jumbo to excuse this outrageous transfer of taxpayer's money, something about how he had no choice, blah, blah...  We call on Attorney General/Governor Elect Andy Cuomo to stop this crime wave, and all of the recipients to refuse to accept the money.
