America is under attack. Its institutions and values are under daily assault. But the principal culprits are not foreign terrorists. They are influential and powerful Americans secretly stirring up disunion and disloyalty in the shifting shadows of the Democratic Party. New York Times best-selling authors David Horowitz and Richard Poe (both former radicals) weave together riveting history, investigative reporting, and cutting political analysis to help expose and explain:

The Shadow Party's plan to rewrite the US Constitution.
How the Shadow Party overthrows foreign governments - and why it may attempt to use the same methods here.
The vast network of private think tanks, foundations, unions, stealth PACs, and other front groups through which the Shadow Party operates in America.
The network's voluminous contributions to the Democrats, which totaled more than $300 million in the 2004 elections, and its growing influence over the party's message and policy.
The politicians on both sides of the aisle who have exchanged political favors with George Soros and his "government-in-the-wings."
The Shadow Party's efforts to conceal its radical agenda behind the "moderate" pose of Hillary Clinton and other public figures.
The radical network's plan to seize power in 2008.

Even though written in 2006 , this book sheds light on what you see going on in America today. Soros' doctrines are like the flu. You don't see the agents without a strong microscope. You may only notice when you get more and more sick. This book is VERY WELL DOCUMENTED.
Soros: "My goal is to become the conscience of the world" (Michael Kaufman, Soros: The Life and Times of a MESSIANIC Billionaire).
Unfortunately Soros has innumerable disciples and devotees in high places and lower places.
Soros wants a new bank and money that "...would facilitate global REDISTRIBUTION of wealth..." ( Soros, Avoiding a Breakdown and Soros, Open Society) . And guess who he wants to run it? "...My active concern with the future of humanity sets me apart from others" (Soros, George Soros on Globalization) Wow. What a surprise. King George. This from a man who became a billionaire by among other things ruining other countries economies and cashing in. Many if not all of the Democratic party leaders have contracted 'Soros flu'.

To what shall we liken this new kingdom? It's like your house catches fire. As the flames start to destroy the structure a crowd gathers and says " what a wonderful thing! Look at the beautiful fire redistributing the elements of that house! " You call the fire department. They knock the phone out of your hand. They tell you " How dare you try to prevent that beautiful fire from redistributing the elements of that house! You're a PYROPHOBIC !! ". Too late. The call went through. As the fire department is heading your way the crowd quickly organizes protesters (some paid some not) to yell ,carry ,signs, destroy other properties and to prevent the fire department from saving your structure. All the while congratulating each other on their righteous attitudes and actions.

Messianic? No George. Only MESS-IRONIC.

A MUST READ FOR ALL WHO VOTE

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017

This book is a MUST READ ... for Democrats and Republicans alike. I first heard of George Soros in 1997. I met and became friends with a successful business man who had moved to California from his homeland, England. He told me of George Soros and his manipulation of The United Kingdom's economy/currency. I was dumbfounded and, almost, in disbelief that one man could do such damage to the economy/currency of an entire nation ... but, I did believe my friend. Since then, I've followed George Soros in a very general sort of way. I could see he was up to no good and that he was behind many of the irregularities in American politics ... but, I had NO IDEA of the extent of what was going on until reading this book! This book was written in 2006 ... so that now, eleven years later, the accuracy of the authors' insight and research is very apparent! Democrats take note: George Soros and his Shadow Party have infiltrated and influenced and are taking control of your party for their own clandestine and greedy purposes. It appears to me that The Shadow Party picked the Democrat Party to infiltrate and pollute first because Dems have a greater inclination toward change and empowering a big government. But, the Soros's (father and now son) are/have targeted the Republican Party, too. In a couple of elections it won't make any difference how we vote ... George Soros will be winner no matter what. This is the most sinister and dangerous assault upon The United States in our 240+ year history. I can't urge you enough ... READ THIS BOOK!!

The culture war reaches a fever pitch. What truly motivates George Soros?

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2016

After a huge sigh post election sigh of relief , I asked myself why is the leftist / bias media doubling down
with their their attacks on Trump? How long will they keep this up? Are we in for an extended conflict between left and right? I dusted off my 2006 copy of David Horowitz "The Shadow Party" and got my answer. If you are looking for answers/explanation that outlines how George Soros and the radicals from the 1960's seized control of the Democrat Party and created this conflict, this book is for you. The book is still relevant today, truly enlightening and answers fundamental questions like, what motivates a guy like George Soros and why does he so religiously advocate an open society?
The following is an excerpt from another online source, but gives you an snippet of what Horowitz discusses in depth. "George Soros was born to Tividar and Erzebat Schwartz, non-practicing Jews, in Budapest, Hungary on August 12, 1930. Tivadar was an attorney by profession, but the consuming passion of his life was the promotion of Esperanto—an artificial, "universal" language created during the 1880s in hopes that people worldwide might be persuaded to drop their native tongues and speak Esperanto instead—thereby, in theory at least, minimizing their nationalist impulses while advancing intercultural harmony. In 1936, Tivadar changed his family surname to Soros—a future-tense Esperanto verb meaning "will soar." When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, Tivadar decided to split up his family so as to minimize the chance that all its members would be killed together. For each of them—his wife and two sons—he purchased forged papers identifying them as Christians; paid government officials to conceal his family's Jewish heritage from the German and Hungarian fascists; and bribed Gentile families to take them into their homes. As for George in particular, the father paid a Hungarian government official named Baumbach to claim George as his Christian godson, "Sandor Kiss," and to let the boy live with him in Budapest. One of Baumbach's duties was to deliver deportation notices to Hungary's Jews, confiscating their property and turning it over to Germany. Young George Soros sometimes accompanied the official on his rounds. Many years later, in December 1998, a CBS interviewer would ask Soros whether he had ever felt any guilt about his association with Baumbach during that period. Soros replied: "… I was only a spectator ... I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt."

Soros today recalls the German occupation of Hungary as "probably the happiest year of my life." "For me," he elaborates, "it was a very positive experience. It's a strange thing because you see incredible suffering around you and the fact you are in considerable danger yourself. But you're fourteen years old, and you don't believe that it can actually touch you. You have a belief in yourself. You have a belief in your father. It's a very happy-making, exhilarating experience."
In 1947, the Soros family relocated from Hungary to England, where George attended the London School of Economics (LSE). There, he was exposed to the works of the Viennese-born philosopher Karl Popper, who taught at LSE and whom Soros would later call his "spiritual mentor." (George Soros, Underwriting Democracy (1991), p. 170)
Though Soros never studied directly under Popper, he read the latter's works and submitted some essays to him for review and comment. Most notably, Popper's 1945 book The Open Society and Its Enemies introduced Soros to the concept of an "open society," a theme that would play a central role in Soros's thought and activities for the rest of his life.
The term "open society" was originally coined in 1932 by the French philosopher Henri Louis Bergson, to describe societies whose moral codes were founded upon "universal" principles seeking to enhance the welfare of all mankind—as opposed to "closed" societies that placed self-interest above any concern for other nations and cultures. (David Horowitz and Richard Poe, The Shadow Party (2006), p. 67) Popper readily embraced this concept and expanded upon it. In his view, the open society was a place that permitted its citizens the right to criticize and change its institutions as they saw fit; he rejected the imposed intellectual conformity, central planning, and historical determinism of Marxist doctrine. (Nicola Chalton, ed., Philosophers: Extraordinary People Who Altered The Course Of History (2008), p. 159) By Popper's reckoning, a society was "closed"—and thus undesirable—if it assumed that it was in any way superior to other societies. Likewise, any belief system or individual claiming to be in possession of "ultimate truth" was an "enemy" of the open society as well. Popper viewed all knowledge as conjectural rather than certain, as evolving rather than fixed. Thus, by logical extension, Popper did not share the American founders' confident assertion that certain truths were "self-evident," and that certain rights—such as the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," as referenced in the Declaration of Independence—were "unalienable" and thus not subject to doubt, because they had been granted to mankind by the ultimate authority, the "Creator." We shall see that George Soros, as he grew to maturity, would likewise reject the founders' premise. Indeed Soros would harbor great disdain for modern-day American political figures who displayed unshakeable confidence in their own culture's nobility, and who embraced the tenets of the Declaration and the U.S. Constitution as timeless, immutable truths. To Soros, "Popper's greatest contribution to philosophy" was his teaching that "the ultimate truth remains permanently beyond our reach." (George Soros, The Bubble of American Supremacy (2004), p. 193)

A searing account of how progressive forces infiltrated the Democratic Party of the USA. Very well written and extremely plausible and persuasive. Highly recommended for an understanding of how the current state of the Democrat party is what it is today.

One of the best quotes in the book comes from Hillary Rodham's mentor, Saul Alinsky. He states (on page 58 of the paperback version), "I feel confident that I could persuade a millionaire on a Friday to subsidize a revolution for Saturday out of which he would make a huge profit on Sunday even though he was certain to be executed on Monday."

That says a lot about both Hillary (the woman Alinsky mentored with his "radical" policies) and George Soros. Soros isn't that much different from Alinsky, if at all. He thinks he is better than he is; he only succeeds because he is surrounded by idiots.

Written in 2006, before Obama scuppered Hillary's chances of being America's first female president (though she did enough damage as Secretary of State), this book still gives a limited though interesting insight into the workings of the Democratic Party, and the whole corruption in American politics in general.

The main flaw with the book is that authors were still under the impression that 9/11 was the result of "Muslim" terrorists. We know it wasn't; we know that it was an inside job by the whole American political establishment (along with Mossad).

They also make a similar factual mistake in chapter 5 (Inside Soros) where they state that Soros escaped the Holocaust. How could he escape someting that never happened! Perhaps American journalists are still too scared of the ADL Gestapo to challenge this issue. (See Douglas Reed's excellent book, "The Controvery of Zion"; even in 1956 people knew that the Holocaust was a lie!)

However, in the chapter (5) the authors state that Soros did help to STEAL property from other Jews! No religious solidarity there, then! Even back then Soros seemed to be a bit of a thief - as Russia later found out!

Soros claims that he wants to undermine American supremacy. Rodham does, too! But she won't say this. She is a fraud, and a lesbian, too! And unlike Margaret Thatcher, she really is a witch (Wicca).

The sad fact is that American are voting for their own executioners, and paying for the privilege. Clinton, Bush, Obama: Dirty Old Town, no matter which party!

I am not sure that the book is worth the price (£9-plus) as an e-book, which is why I purchased it as a second-hand paperback. I don't need to fork out £9 to know that Soros and Rodham are liars! Not a bad read, though. But don't read it on the subway (underground) though; you might get treated like a Brazilian electrician!
