Soros Makes a Move to Control Global Police Forces

This is off the charts. It looks like billionaire George Soros is getting serious about controlling current global turmoil. It appears he is getting ready to influence, if not control, global police forces. NYT reports:
On Wednesday, George Soros, the billionaire investor, is expected to name Christopher Stone, a well-known expert on criminal justice, the new leader of his unconventional philanthropic empire.

Mr. Stone, a professor at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, will fully take the helm in July of the Open Society Foundations, a sprawling constellation of more than 30 organizations that operate in places as diverse as Baltimore, Jakarta, the Kremlin and Congress.
Just what does "expert on criminal justice" mean? Get a load of this, from NYT (my emphasis):
Mr. Stone built National Defender while at the Vera Institute for Justice, a nonprofit group that works to improve justice systems, where he eventually rose to become chief executive for 10 years. He expanded Vera’s international programs, working with national governments in South Africa, Russia and Chile and developing a reputation as an expert on the professionalization of police forces.

Police chiefs will confide in him, and at the same time, he can convene meetings of people from the grass-roots civil-rights community and command the same kind of respect,” said Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Justice Department and an old friend.
Yikes. How much does Soros spend on his hobby of trying to control the world? NYT provides an answer:
Mr. Soros has never endowed his collection of foundations, but he often gives away enough money in a year to make Open Society the most generous philanthropy in the country after the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This year, for example, it is on track to give away about $860 million.

WaPo Columnist as Apologist for the Police State

WaPo columnist Petula Dvorak is hailing the "professionalism" of the police (U.S. Park Police) who arrested protesters at Occupy DC, who refused to leave a structure they assembled at the occupation site.

Under the headline: Police maintain professionalism in Occupy D.C. confrontation, Dvorak tells us:
All day and into the night, the police were being taunted. Insults and sometimes water bottles were hurled their way. Cameras were pointed at them from every direction.

Yet, as they have done throughout the downtown drama known as Occupy D.C., the U.S. Park Police and D.C. officers displayed remarkable discipline and restraint Sunday during their confrontation with protesters in McPherson Square.
I was there. This simply did not happen. Although at times the occupiers chanted to the police that they (the police) were "part of the 99%, no insults were hurled at the police. And it is a complete outright lie to report that "water bottles were hurled their way".

Police in Standoff with Occupation DC Protesters

In the middle of last night, Occupy DC protesters constructed a large wooden structure at McPherson Square in Washington DC. The location is one of two in DC that occupiers have taken over. The occupiers planned to use the structure as their general assembly during the winter months.

When Park police discovered the structure in the morning, they ordered protesters to take it down. The occupiers refused and approximately two dozen moved into the structure in an attempt to prevent the structure from being taken down by Park perosnnel.

DC Metropolitan police and US Park police now have the structure surrounded. Those inside appear to fully expect they will be arrested. They are not going to make it easy, a few have climbed on the roof of the structure.

Some early arrests have been made of occupiers in the general crowd surrounding the structure, but it is not clear why these people were singled out.
