Soros takes over US Administration with his think tank CAP

When a Hedge Fund manager (Jewish, as most people of influence around Obama seem to be - his second man Emanuel, Chief of Staff is a big supporter of Israel) sponsors the think tank for the central ideas of the Obama administration, that implies unbalanced interest. I start to wonder if the Obama administration is not already in a big conflict of interest, as Mr. Soros has a hidden agenda. This is the classic approach of the Rothschilds (I do believe that and Goldman are executing arms of these special interests) to control the information flow. The best is to be directly at the source of this idea-creating process. These guys (CAP) started their project even before Obama was a Senator and it would not have mattered if Clinton or Obama took the presidency --they are sponsored by the same sources and Obama has better marketing skills (but both would have represented an innovative change - she as the first female or he as the first black president) and inherit a bigger tolerance as they have to execute tough measures going forward. As one Prime Minister of Israel said once, they are running DC anyway and now it seems to get more and more obvious.

It is amazing that in a demographic achievement that a fraction of the US population with less than 1% runs all major institutions or has a overwhelming influence. This is not supposed to be a racistic statement, just an observation as I am astonished by this concentrated influence. A leader of a democracy should have a balanced interaction with all parts or ethnic groups of the country. When US taxpayers can bailout Goldman with $12.5 bil. who did not need money due to their earnings reports, it can afford easily to finance its own think tank for $28 mil. - that's something I do not get at all - who needs outside think tanks with hidden agendas and how would a bunch of 30 year olds know how to handle a crisis of this proportions anyway? But even more so, the sponsor has an agenda that has to be avoided by all means. The chief advisor of Obama, Mr. Rubin (ex CEO Goldman) and under his "leadership" Citigroup went almost bankrupt - what would he know which might be of help?

Soros-Funded Democratic Idea Factory Becomes Obama Policy Font

By Edwin Chen

Nov. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Three blocks from the White House, on the 10th floor of a sleek glass building, young workers pound at computers, with giant flat-screen TVs overhead. It has the look and feel of a high-tech startup.

In many ways it is. The product is ideas.

Thanks in part to funding from benefactors such as billionaire George Soros, the Center for American Progress has become in just five years an intellectual wellspring for Democratic policy proposals, including many that are shaping the agenda of the new Obama administration.

Much as the Heritage Foundation provided intellectual heft for the Republican Party in the 1980s, CAP has been an incubator for liberal thought and helped build the platform that triumphed in the 2008 campaign.

``What CAP has done is recapture the role of ideas as an important political force, something the Republicans had been better at for 25 years,'' said Walter Isaacson, president of the Aspen Institute, a non-partisan policy-research organization in Washington.

CAP's president and founder, John Podesta, 59, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, is one of three people running the transition team for president-elect Barack Obama, 47. A squadron of CAP experts is working with them.

Some of the group's recommendations already have been adopted by the president-elect.

Withdrawal of Troops

These include the center's call for a gradual withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and a buildup of forces in Afghanistan, a plan for universal health coverage through employer plans and proposals to create purchasing pools that allow small businesses to spread the cost among a larger group of workers. Obama has endorsed much of a CAP plan to create ``green jobs'' linked to alleviating global climate change.

CAP also is advocating the creation of a ``National Energy Council'' headed by an official with the stature of the national security adviser and who would be charged with ``transforming the energy base'' of the U.S. In addition, CAP urges the creation of a White House ``office of social entrepreneurship'' to spur new ideas for addressing social problems.

To help promote its ideas, CAP employs 11 full-time bloggers who contribute to two Web sites, ThinkProgress and the Wonk Room; others prepare daily feeds for radio stations. The center's policy briefings are standing-room only, packed with lobbyists, advocacy-group representatives and reporters looking for insights on where the Obama administration is headed.

`Premier Progressive'

``The center is the premier progressive think tank in Washington,'' said Mark Green, head of the New Democracy Project, an urban-affairs institute in New York.

Just eight days after the Nov. 4 election, CAP released a 300,000-word volume called ``Change for America: A Progressive Blueprint for the 44th President'' that offers advice on issues such as economic revival and fixing the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Work on the book began almost a year ago.
