GEORGE SOROS HAS TIES TO 30 NEWS MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS AND VOTING MACHINES
POSTED ON OCTOBER 24, 2016 UPDATED ON NOVEMBER 8, 2016
BORN TO DESTROY! It’s no coincidence anti-American billionaire and Hillary Clinton’s top donor George Soros made sure his Smartmatic voting machines are part of 2016 election, putting them in 307 counties and 16 states. Smartmatic’s chairman, Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, serves on the board of Soros Open Society Foundation.
In the mid-1990s, Malloch-Brown was part of the Soros Advisory Committee on Bosnia. He is also a member of the executive committee of the International Crisis Group, an organisation he co-founded in the 1990s and funded by George Soros.
While working for the U.N., Malloch-Brown would rent an apartment from Soros when on assignment in New York. In 2007, he became vice president of Soros hedge fund company Quantum Funds, appointed vice chairman of Soros Fund Management, and vice chairman of the Open Society Institute (the former name of OSF).

Is George Soros bracing for a storm?
During the first quarter, the legendary investor purchased $264 million worth of shares of Barrick Gold (ABX), the world's largest gold miner. Soros, known as the "man who broke the Bank of England," also acquired 1.1 million options to buy the popular SPDR Gold ETF (GLD), which mirrors the price of gold.
Gold prices tend to move higher when people are afraid. The precious metal is up more than 20% this year.
