George Soros
When there
is funding for progressive liberal organizations
the name George Soros is
usually in the news. Just who is
this
man and what does his birth order say about his
behavior. A look at his older brother
and their early life will
give us the answer.
Double Birth Orders
When four years
or more separate siblings they receive
increased nurturing from both parents
because of the years
of separation. This
gives the child a Double birth order.
His number of birth plus the self-confidence of the Only
child. This
magnifies and intensifies both the positive and
negative characteristics of
their birth order number.
Two Boys Sibling Rivalry
Born Gyorgy
Schwartz August 12, 1930 to a Jewish
attorney father. He gave up his Jewish
heritage during
World War I as a Russian POW. He now had a worldview
of
globalization. His mother was from a Jewish family of a
well-to-do fabric
owner. His older brother Paul, was born
June 5, 1926 four years earlier. This gave both the boys
Double birth orders.
Paul was a One/Only and George is
a Two/Only. The family lived an upper class
cultured
lifestyle with vacations in Austria and a summer home
on the Danube River.
George complained that Paul got
all the attention and the boys were rivals.
Paul writes that
they had “a pretty bad relationship” as youngsters.
The Two/Only Birth Order
The second
born child does not want to be told what to do.
When you add the power of the Only birth order you get
an immovable
object. This second child will not back
down even if he knows he is wrong. The
second child
always tries to be different from the firstborn in order to
gain
their own identity. Unusually they
choose athletics
as their older sibling is years ahead in school. This was
not
true for George as Paul was both the student and athlete.
Paul was an Olympic skier, and number two on
the Austrian
National Tennis Team. Another way that the number two
can control
his life is to have a lot of money, then no one
can tell him what to do. This indeed was the course that
George
followed.
Family Changes Name
Tivadar
Schwartz, their father, changed the family name to
Soros in 1936 as Hungary
began aligning itself with fascist
powers and anti-Semitism spread. The family
though not
religious tried to pass as Christians during the Nazis
occupation. The
Nazis didn’t care that you followed the
Jewish religion, only if you had the
DNA.
George’s Teenage Years
George’s
life changed drastically when he was 14 years old.
The year was 1944 and the Nazi’s
had entered Hungary. His
father Tivadar decided it was best for the family to
live
separately in order to survive the concentration camps where
all people
with a Jewish heritage were being sent.
He bribed
a government official to become George’s Godfather and for
George to live with him. He changed his name to Sandor Kiss.
This official’s
job was seizing the property of Jews that were
sent to the concentration camps.
George went with him,
undercover with his Christian identity. Soros wrote that
working with the Nazi’s never bothered him. He said “this
was the most exciting
time of my life.” The two/only birth
order can be very self-centered.
George flees to England
At age 17 with
the help of his father, George fled communist
Hungary telling authorities he
was going to a conference in
Switzerland, Instead, he went to London. This is
where he
enrolled in school with the help of a distant relative. During
this time, he was very poor and
approached a Jewish charity,
among others, for help, He was turned down. Second
borns
never forget. He later received an advance degree from the
London School
of Economics. One of his professors was the
philosopher Karl Popper and his
book The Open Society and
Its Enemies
was read by George. Popper, like George, had
Jewish roots, all his grandparents
were Jewish. Karl parents
had adopted the Lutheran religion before he was born.
When
George graduated he couldn’t get a job and had to work selling
fancy goods
for a wholesaler. He felt this was the lowest time
in his life and he never
wanted to be poor again. Eventually,
he secured a bank position with the help
of a Hungarian
connection.
George Comes to New York
In 1956 he
moved to New York City working with various
investment firms. He started his
hedge fund in 1969 ending
it in 2011 when he didn’t want to follow the new disclosure
rules set up by the Federal Government. True to the behavior
of a second born,
not wanting anyone to tell him what to do.
The family fortune is now estimated
at 26 billion dollars held
in the private foundation.
Two Foundations Two Brothers
To prove
that sibling rivalry never ends we only have to look
at the foundations that
Paul and George started. Paul started
the Paul and Daisy Fellowships for Young Americans. He
gives up to $90,000 dollars for two years
of graduate work
for students with foreign ancestry. They must uphold the
American Constitution and Bill or Rights.
George started
the Open Society Policy Center and has transferred over 18
billion dollars to fund it. This money is being used to fund
over 239 liberal
progressive organizations in the United
States and is operating in 60 countries
around the world.
In contrast to his
older brother, his foundation is meant to
undermine governments in order to
promote his and Karl
Popper’s view of a single world government.
The Wrath of the Two/Only
Birth order
is not predictive of political preference. It can
unmask someone’s personality characteristics.
As a young
child George had sibling rivalry issues with his older brother.
As a
young boy he was influenced by his father and his
worldview. George grew up at a
time when governments
were in turmoil. He could not trust the politicians and
saw
firsthand how a person’s life and wealth could be taken from
them. He was a man without a country and identity.
This was
also true of Karl Popper who moved from country to country.
George saw
the crimes the Nazi’s committed against the
Jewish population. It could have been him even though he
did not practice his religion. When he reached out for help
as a student the Jewish
charity turned him down. Any one
of these things could have been the trigger to
develop his
dis-trust in governments and his open society view, free
expression
and respect for individual rights. Now at age 87
we have not hear the last from
him.
