ACORN History
EXCERPT:
In the 2004 election cycle, ACORN and its sister group Project Vote ran a nationwide voter mobilization drive for George Soros' Shadow Party. The drive was marred by numerous allegations of fraudulent voter registration, vote-rigging, voter intimidation, and vote-for-pay scams.
ACORN and Working Family Party
EXCERPT:

PROFILE: WORKING FAMILIES PARTY
* Front group for ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now)
* Functions as a political party in New York State and Connecticut, running or cross-endorsing candidates for local, state, and federal office
An outgrowth of the socialist New Party, [Working Families Party] WFP was created in 1998. According to a 2000 article by the Associated Press, its objective was (and still is) to "help push the Democratic Party toward the left." In pursuit of this goal, WFP runs radical candidates in state and local elections. Generally, WFP candidates conceal their extremism beneath a veneer of populist rhetoric, promoting bread-and-butter issues designed to appeal to union workers and other blue-collar voters, Republican and Democrat alike.
Bush and Soros connection Rumormills
EXCERPT:
This alchemy remakes W. as a “success,” and paves the way for him to become governor of Texas and then president. Evidence suggests that W. benefited from insider information when he sold his Harken stock, but an SEC inquiry while his father was president went nowhere.
Behind Harken is a fascinating story. Among the investors are the billionaire George Soros, assorted Saudis, figures tied to the Shah of Iran, the Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and the South African apartheid regime, a Swiss bank, a Little Rock-based investment house with intelligence ties, and the endowment of Harvard University. In fact, Harvard’s endowment fund risked tens of millions of dollars on this strange company; and this story leads to the secret life of one of its most powerful alumni, and to a large-scale gold-smuggling operation begun during the Pacific Campaign in World War II—apparently designed to fund unauthorized US covert operations worldwide.

Hillary Clinton, George Soros, ACORN Tied to Working Families Party Targeting AIG Workers at Home

The Working Families Party that is organizing a bus tour protest this Saturday at the homes of AIG employees has deep ties to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, billionaire leftist financier George Soros and the radical group ACORN.
A 2005 article by Richard Poe published at Discover the Networks details the connections:
The Working Families Party (WFP) is a front group for the radical cult ACORN. It functions as a political party in New York State and Connecticut, promoting ACORN-friendly candidates. Unlike conventional political parties, WFP charges its members dues – about $60 per year – a policy characteristic of ACORN and its affiliates.
According to the party’s Web site, WFP is a coalition founded by ACORN, the Communications Workers of America, and the United Automobile Workers. However, ACORN clearly dominates the coalition. New York ACORN leader Steven Kest was the moving force in forming the party. WFP headquarters is located at the same address as ACORN’s national office, at 88 Third Avenue in Brooklyn.
-----
The Working Families Party benefits from a quirk of New York State election law, which allows parties to “cross-endorse” candidates of other parties. Thus when Hillary Clinton ran for the Senate in 2000, she ran both on the Democratic Party ticket and on the Working Families Party ticket. Of the 3.4 million popular votes Hillary received from New Yorkers, the Working Families Party delivered 103,000.
Spectrum 7 and George Soros
EXCERPT:
Spectrum 7 was an oil company started by William DeWitt and Mercer Reynolds.
In 1984, Spectrum 7 merged with George W. Bush's Arbusto Energy. After the merger, Bush became the Chairman and CEO of Spectrum 7.
In 1986, after reporting a net loss of $1.5 million the previous year, Spectrum 7 was purchased by Harken Oil and Gas for $2.2 million[citation needed], at the time one-third owned[citation needed] by noted investor George Soros.

George Soros and the alchemy
EXCERPT:
Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically in comparative worth almost overnight.
When the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 threatened to spread globally, George Soros was right in the thick of it. Soros was accused by the Malaysian Prime Minister of causing the collapse with his monetary machinations, and he was branded in Thailand as an "economic war criminal" who "sucks the blood from the people." Right in the middle of this crisis, Soros dashed off his book, The Crisis of Global Capitalism, which demanded a "third way" toward economic stability.
Harken Energy
Harken Energy Scandal
In 1990, the US energy company Harken Energy entered into a business partnership with Harvard University which ultimately became the vehicle by which Harken Energy could transfer $20 million in debt to Harvard. Though made public, investors did not directly equate the transferred debt as a decrease in equity, allowing the share value of Harken stock to rise, and senior Harken managers liquidated their shares. See market liquidity.
It is seemingly identical to the modus operandi of most recent US Corporate accounting scandals, though a Bush spokesperson denied any connection to Enron's practices, citing that Harken did not conceal its partnership with Harvard.
George W. Bush formerly held several top positions at Harken Energy, primarily as Chairman and CEO. This company was owned by Khalid bin Mahfouz Khalid bin Mahfouz ( Arabic: ) is a wealthy Saudi Arabian businessman who is suspected of having links to terrorism. Many of the details of his life are controversial and disputed by various parties. Mahfouz himself says that he detests terrorism, and has. At the time of the scandal, Bush was a consultant to Harken Energy. George SorosGeorge Soros (born August 12, 1930) is a Hungarian-born American businessman. He is famous as a currency speculator and a philanthropist. Currently, he is the chairman of Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Institute and is also director of the Cou was a major investor in Harken when it bought Bush's ailing oil venture, Spectrum 7Spectrum 7 was an oil company owned and run by George W.
