    Just wondering, have any of you heard of George Soros? He bought the company that counted the votes for the president of the US. He is blamed for being behind obama and wanting to see the demise of America and EU. What do you folks across the pond think/know of him?

    Hes a famous investor, also a Jewish survivor from nazi occupation in Hungary.

    A well known philanthropist (hes donated over $7 billion), widely respected throughout the world.

    I sense your some conspiracy theorist with your 'behind Obama' comment, aswell as your thinly veiled accusation that Obama cheated to victory (by Soros, a Obama supporter, buying the company that counts the votes)

    And what company counts the elector votes may I ask? Im sure its a similar system to here whereby volunteers count the votes, and not a company.

    From theblaze.com


    And, of course, there’s the fact that there’s “no evidence supporting the common rumor that financier George Soros holds an ownership stake in Scytl.”

    Indeed, Scytl’s investors are Nauta Capital, Balderton Capital, and Spinnaker SCR.

    “Soros doesn’t ‘own’ any of these international venture capital firms — and as far as my research shows, he has no involvement whatsoever with any of them,” Malkin writes.

    “Moreover, Scytl’s board of directors doesn’t include anyone with Soros financial or management ties. Pressed for evidence, one Internet conspiracy nut cited an ‘invitation only event’ in Moldova that listed both the ‘Soros Foundation Moldova’ and Scytl as attendees,” she adds.

    Okay, let’s recap: We’re supposed to believe that the election is being stolen by a Sores-connected company run by a shady Democrat CEO, right? Well, aside from the fact that the company has no ties to Soros and the CEO has no record of ever contributing money to President Obama (as the emails claim), why not?

    Bottom Line: The Soros-Obama vote-counting rumor is factually inaccurate on every count and there is literally (as Vice President Joe Biden would say) nothing to back up this claim.

    We understand Soros’ influence with the Democrat Party runs extraordinarily deep. We get that. But before we start accusing people of rigging elections, we need to have at least a shred of evidence.
