First, what's abcnews.com.co?
Good question! :lol:
Ya, I'm glad you think it's so funny. As if if you never fell for a false link. The point is, I provided plenty of links on the issue of paid AntiFa protesters who often know absolutely nothing about what they're protesting about, yet, all the same are hyper-violent, & have suppressed free speech & dissent by counter-demonstrating in the US, EU, & elsewhere on certain ideas Mr Soros et. al wish to see shut down. You've ignored the topic altogether & instead taken cheap shots like the one above & in other replies. So rather than acknowledge the obvious, you'd rather distastefully nitpick at 2 links out of many, & derail the conversation. Bravo, sir, give yourself a pat on the back...
You even up-voted your pal twice in the comments he posted before your own which I'm replying to now. You know, please, don't bother fixing it, really no need, but I now really have to wonder in regards to your credibility as a mod & in general. Is this something that's done regularly around here by you, or maybe just a glitch able to be taken advantage of? Just sayin, finding a way to deliberately upvote twice (if that is indeed the case?) on a topic that should've come to an end long ago but hasn't because the idea of anyone but you having the last word is just unacceptable, just seems kind of desperate, over-zealous, & pitiful to me, is all...
And don't single out FOX, those who own the MSM networks are RL good friends. They attend the same clubs, their children attend one another's birthday parties, etc. They've far more in common with one another than they do with you, me, or the saps they'd say they create their "news" for. The left-right divide is well in control by the owners of all MSM networks. My guess is you know that much but it just grinds your gears there are people out there who no longer fall for it. Which makes me wonder why I'm even bothering to reply to anything you have to say. Btw, I didn't bother checking out those 3 links you suggested, not because I don't care, but because they're not well funded orgs (like AntiFa) hiring actors to show up at demonstrations to suppress dissent, free speech, basic rights, with violence & intimidation. They aren't the ones openly against the US Constitution & funded by billionaires like George Soros via his network of NGO's & affiliates with an end goal to shut down debate or discourse on any idea deemed inappropriate. Those groups you mentioned are more or less innocuous & hardly any pay attention to anything they have to say, which is the way it'd remain if not for those who seek to impose their ideas unto others, get paid to actually do so, & end up violating our Constitutional Rights in doing so.
Is an Orwellian future your ideal? If not, I'd check your perceived privilege to shut down free speech from others, because that is precisely the recipe for a police state which you seem to be promoting if I read your words right. And again, hope it's all worth it for you, please feel free to share how worth it if you wish. lol

The most dangerous corruption is right out in the open. Wealthy elites and multinational businesses funding politicians (or threatening primary challenges against them) who then write tax cuts and loopholes into countless laws. This leads to one of the two things that blew up the Greek economy, which is that almost nobody paid any taxes. And let's not forget the regulation-slashing they pursue, so they can trash the air, water, and land that rightfully belong to the people who need to breathe, drink, and live on it.
Let's stick to one topic at a time here, and rather than regurgitate any info about any economic "crisis" you know about, like those who only promote the exact same narrative of the MSM, remember some of us actually know a thing or two underlying the situations & stories they shamelessly parrot one another about. If you're unable to maintain genuine discourse about the topic of why groups like AntiFa are wrong & un-American, then I doubt I'd want to waste my time discussing what you perceive to be "the facts" about any economic crisis. But, just a word of advice, before concerning yourself with economic problems in other nations, maybe it'd be a better idea to stick to the ones we face here in the US first...

What is your beef with George Soros?
I believe I've already answered that question several times. Whatever Mr Soros' past, that doesn't give him the right to RUIN economies via speculation, promote color revolutions around the world, pledge $Billions to Ukraine for weapons & other "necessities" to keep that manufactured conflict raging over there. Nor does it give him the right to use similarly, utterly wicked, underhanded practices he's engaged in with other nations around the world, which he seems to consider business as usual.
Btw, regarding what you said about the "left" (or "right", for that matter) about Mr Soros, I'd wager most of the "left", or rather the self entitled, whiny snowflake "my way or the highway (fascistic) approach" you seem so keen to promote, remain clueless about him, same with the so called "right". Politicians, otoh, e.g. Mrs Clinton, along with some other democrats in general as well as republicans (again, very little difference between the two, same as any MSM network), may certainly know about him & have worked with him extensively. But then she & her husband maintain some rather strange bedfellows when it comes to politics. That Foundation of theirs. How it's been used & abused. Her pal Huma, the Podesta bros, Ms Abramovic, etc and so on, have plenty of disgusting idiosyncrasies no politician in their right mind would want to associate themselves with. Just. Saying. =P
Anyhow, back to Soros & his pals. Whatever his or their background, whatever his/their privilege, wealth, friends in high places,
none of it gives him/them the right to pay organizations like AntiFa to hire protesters who pretend to be communists, anarchists, or what have you, clearly state they're against free speech & the US Constitution, & promise to disrupt any peaceful demonstrations with counter-demonstrations using violence & intimidation their paymasters wish to see put down. Which they continually do (at least 2 other incidents took place between the time this article was posted & now in which AntiFa were used to shut down dissent, debate, & free speech on ideas successfully) & which they keep getting away with. If that isn't the definition of a
TYRANT abusing his wealth, loopholes in the law, & status, I wouldn't know what is. In regards to free speech you & some others would love to see outlawed: actually, as you yourself stated, YES in America people DO have the right to say what they please as long as it adheres to the First Amendment & Constitutional Law. You say it's a matter for law enforcement, etc. You give an answer which, while technically true, isn't really relative to the issue because the system has fractured to the point standards & morals have all but disappeared.
And by the way, I'd have thought an intelligent person as yourself would have no doubt that, in a healthy society, there can be NO suppression of free speech. No suppression or outlawing of debate on any non-violent idea. Only those who wish to hide information from others & have the immorality & power to do so would shut down honest debate & discourse on any idea. I would've thought you'd agree with that. I'm sorry for you that can't at least agree to that much.
Because then, rather than promote division & violence among the populace the way your vaunted Mr Soros & his pals have, people would be free to discuss things as they please & hold their own opinions without any group being paid or otherwise manipulated to suppress & shut down ideas & free speech just because their bosses disagree. People would come to see these ideas & those for or against them for who & what they really are. The MSM wouldn't be able to sensationalize them, use them to further divide the people of this or any other nation, & agitators who want to see this beloved country torn apart would stand no chance of succeeding.
If you're unable to see the error of their ways, I'd suggest you give the US Constitution a read & see why you're in the wrong. That suppressing free speech equates to taking peoples' fundamental freedoms & liberties away from them. If that's what you truly believe, then we truly have nothing more to talk about. Suppressing free speech, dissent, & ideas by abusing one's wealth, social status, position, & working with like minded friends in high places equates to treason, & is part of what lies at the very root of any unhealthy divided, conquered nation & its people. Like your pal & so many others, you seem, regardless whether you're aware of it or not, bent on seeing an already Orwellian present grow yet worse in the future. Again: thanks, but no thanks.
