Consider the pied piper effect in currency speculation, where George Soros has been on the top for a long time. He’s long been a trendsetter, rivaling Warren Buffet in influence. Now, voters are slaves to the economic reality, correct? If jobs fade away, they blame the Prime Minster or President, correct? So, how would a man like Soros drive job figures down, if he wanted to remove, say, P.M. John Major and the Tory party from government?

It seems America’s 1992 recession was linked to England’s, meaning Soros (if you assume my logic) bloodlessly caused two regime changes in one stroke.
