Just about everything an honest citizen can glean about George Soros is available in video at The Soros Files. There are dozens of speeches from Cliff Kincaid's Accuracy in Media, Soros Files Conference in DC. Trevor Loudon at New Zeal was a speaker and did a great job. Big Government's Brandon Darby was especially informative, and Tina Trent at Crime Victims Media Report, presented Soros' ties to the legal system and our law schools. Her research was excellent. The entire conference was chock full of information. Well worth watching. See just one of the video speeches (Trevor Loudon) below.
Trevor Loudon begins the first of four videos containing his speech at The Soro Files Conference, by saying he is often asked why he, a New Zealander, cares about the United States. He says the first reason is "gratitude."
My country is only free because of the sacrifice of American servicemen and women in World War II, and since, in Guadal Canal and all the battles of the Pacific, and stopped my country from being conquered. That's a very important thing to me.
Since World War II my country has remained free, and the Western World has remained free because of the sacrifice of American taxpayers and servicemen and women who have basically kept the bad guys at bay...
Loudon says the second thing he is grateful for is the U.S. Constitution because the greatest political document every written hasn't just affected us, but has been an inspiration for freedom lovers all over the world.
Trevor was a guest on Glenn Beck's radio and GBTV show. Read more here. When Trevor sits at his keyboard, or takes a mic, I always learn something.

Was a recent comment that Joel Pollak gave to INN.
Joel Barry Pollak was born on April 25, 1977 in Johannesburg, South Africa, his parents emigrated to the United States shortly after his birth. He became a U.S. Citizen in 1987. He grew up in the Chicago suburbs, principally in Skokie. He attended Solomon Schechter Day School and Niles North High School, where he was the class valedictorian in 1995.
Joel graduated magna cum laude from Harvard with a joint degree in Social Studies and Environmental Science & Public Policy. His master's degree is in Jewish Studies from the University of Cape Town in 2006. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 2009. In December 2009 he wed Julia Inge Bertelsmann.
He is the Republican candidate for the 9th Congressional District trying to defeat 6 term incumbent Jan Schakowsky.
Here are some excerpts from the INN article:
A Conversation with Joel Pollak - Candidate for Chicago's 9th congressional district
As candidates from both sides of the aisle feverishly stump to achieve a victory in the upcoming November mid-term elections, pundits and opinion makers have been focusing on a small but highly significant race for Chicago's 9th congressional district. It is in this suburban Chicago setting where political neophyte Joel B. Pollak (R) is seeking to unseat the incumbent, Rep.Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) who is running for her seventh term in congress.
Israel National News spoke with Mr. Pollak, a soft spoken 33 year-old Orthodox Jew and Harvard trained lawyer who decided to throw his hat in the political ring for the very first time. "I grew up in a secular home but my parents and I became observant Jews and I learned first hand of the special significance that Israel holds for the Jewish people" says Pollak. "I love Israel – not just because it is my religious homeland, and not just because of my family roots there, but also because of the principle that it represents. The State of Israel stands for the idea that an oppressed people can take control of its own destiny, and build freedom and prosperity with nothing more than faith and hard work. It is the same idea that built America. That is why our two countries are so close, and will remain so," he declares.
Pollak, a resident of Skokie, a predominantly Jewish Chicago suburb, says that he is running for Congress because there is a failure of leadership in Washington and that the concerns of his constituents are not being addressed by their current representative. "I'm outraged that Congress did not raise their voices in indignation over the fact that "war crimes" were committed against Israel during the Gaza flotilla debacle. Our government should demand accountability from those responsible for this attempted act of murder against Israeli soldiers and that includes Turkey and Iran. We must immediately reassess our relationship with Turkey and those countries who foster terrorism. Israel is facing existential perils that are graver than they ever were before and my opponent just does not understand that. President Obama has made it okay to hate Israel," he intoned.
The Weekly Standard has reported that "Rep.Jan Schakowsky is one of the top recipients of campaign cash from J Street, the far-left organization that opposes Israel at every opportunity. It turns out that J Street has taken $750,000 from George Soros, despite the earlier denials of J Street executive director Jeremy Ben-Ami."
Moreover, at a recent Schakowsky fundraiser in Chicago, Helen Thomas, the former doyenne of the White House press corps appeared as the featured speaker and guest. Thomas, a long time pro-Palestinian apologist, achieved notoriety this past May 27th when she told Rabbi David Nesenoff after a White House Jewish Heritage event that the Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and went on to say that the Palestinian people “are occupied and it’s their land” and that Israelis should “go home” -- to Poland, Germany, America “and everywhere else.” Commenting on this, Mr. Pollak said, "Rep. Schakowsky and her guests were well aware of Thomas’s record of anti-Israel rhetoric, and were invited to distance themselves from her views. None did. Instead, Rep. Schakowsky declared proudly of Thomas: “She’s so awesome!”
On domestic issues Mr. Pollak stands in stark contrast to his opponent who has virtually rubber stamped the Obama agenda of redistribution of wealth, entitlements, government bailouts and health care reform. "I will introduce laws to roll back government interference in the economy. With appropriate regulations in place, the government should divest itself of the large chunks of the banking, insurance and automotive sectors it recently took over. We need to send the right signals to workers and entrepreneurs that the U.S. is once again a nation committed to free enterprise, job creation and economic growth", said Pollak.
On October 17th, Mr. Pollak received the endorsement of "To Protect Our Heritage" the Midwest's oldest and largest bi-partisan, pro-Israel PAC. Their endorsement statement said of Pollak: "We are convinced that Joel Pollak will be a stronger advocate for the critical relationship between our country and Israel. In seeking out ways to strengthen the ties and protect Israel, he will be helping both nations."Concerning Pollak's opponent, TPOH expressed their thoughts by saying, "Problematic are Rep. Schakowsky’s strong ties with individuals and groups such as J Street. J Streethas labeled itself as pro-Israel; however, its underlying mission has been revealed to be the weakening of bi-partisan Congressional support for Israel by, among other tactics, drawing away Democratic support for that relationship. Rep. Schakowsky, by her staunch support of J Street since its inception – and she has been a main if not the main beneficiary of J Street fundraising efforts – likely unwittingly threatens to make Israel a partisan issue between the two political parties."
Mr. Pollak has also been endorsed by Harvard law school professor Alan Dershowitz who was a featured speaker at his fundraising event.
For those of you who do not remember this man this might jar your memory:

Pollak's opponent Jan Schakowsky supports J Street, the Obama Agenda and Helen Thomas.
Joel Pollak is showing himself to be a new breed of Chicago Politician. Young, Conservative, and Republican. He supports limited government, lower taxes and is a supporter of Israel.
I wish I lived in the 9th District.
Monkey in the Middle proudly endorses Joel Pollak for Congress.
Jim Simpson at Truth & Consequences put the following post up at Maggie's Notebook. Please note this comment in the article:
If you care at all about this issue, or for that matter the future of this country, it would behoove you to know just how the thugs operate when Americans stand up for themselves. This is a REAL fight, right now. And it is about power, theirs versus America's. Make sure you understand that! They are coming out of hiding, which means they think they will win
I hope you will read Jim's article, follow the link and see what we are facing.

Since grandmothers, WW II veterans and average Americans like you and me are now being branded Nazis for expressing our opposition to the monstrousity Obamacare, Obama has rallied his army of REAL Nazi thugs to protest our protest. Chief among the "spontaneous" counterprotesting groups is "Healthcare for America Now" (HCAN). Why does that acronym sound so much like ACORN? Well because it IS ACORN, and a million other highly organized radical leftist organizations just like it. Ben Johnson at FrontPage Magazine has laid it all out in the following article: Soros Care.
If you care at all about this issue, or for that matter the future of this country, it would behoove you to know just how the thugs operate when Americans stand up for themselves. This is a REAL fight, right now. And it is about power, theirs versus America's. Make sure you understand that! They are coming out of hiding, which means they think they will win. We can't allow them to. If the thugs win on this, they can win on anything. And they will.
