    Everything I bave heard and read says Soros is jn no way, shape or form connected to the freedom geoup. However there are many right wing people jnvolved in it one I remember right of hand was Dan Quayle. Not a lot of brain power but not an all bad guy. I see it a bit differently than some people. Instead of buying these companies to destroy them they could possibly be buying them in order tk insure a supply of armament to a government opposing entity.

    Please excuse my spelling mistakes I have big thumbs and my Razor X keyboard is only so big.
