The dark is rising

About 45 Internet outlets have been bombed since Dec. 1, according to figures from Gaza’s Central Police Office.(…)

A group called the Swords of Islamic Righteousness has claimed responsibility for the attacks. In a leaflet distributed at Al-Azhar University last month, it said it attacked Internet cafes “which are trying to make a whole generation preoccupied with matters other than jihad and worship.”

The group also claimed to have blown up the car of someone who played his stereo loudly. “If people don’t listen, we will take further steps,” the leaflet warned.

According to papers filed with the SEC, in the fourth quarter of 2006 [George] Soros purchased nearly 2 million shares of … hold your breath … Halliburton. The Halliburton shares reportedly went for an average purchase price of $31.30 a share. That puts Soros’ total investment in Halliburton at around $62.6 million, or about 2 percent of his total portfolio.(…)

Soros’ position in Halliburton is reported to be his first, which means he bought it with a full understanding of Halliburton’s reputation. Soros may not see a problem with profiting from a company that has been accused of everything from sweatheart deals to cooking the books to serving U.S. troops lousy food in Iraq. The real question, however, is whether MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, and other organizations that have benefitted from Soros’ charity will see a problem with accepting money earned off Halliburton shares?

  1. Eu juro que nao entendo o motivo da preocupacao… Entao se o dinheiro de Soros eh “sujo”, simplesmente nao o aceite oras pois pois.

    Alias, tenho verdadeiro panico desses fundos de investimentos politicamente corretos, que so aplicam seu dinheiro em empresas que nao poluem, que nao fazem isso nem aquilo. Coisa para ingles ver. Se esse tipo de propaganda atrai os trouxas, que otimo. Eu so ponho meu dinheiro dependendo da performance financeira do mesmo, puramente.
