Soros Buys 1.9 Million Shares of Halliburton

by Bill Levinson

George Soros should remember those scenes from those old black and white horror movies in which the monster discovers that its creator has betrayed it–and MoveOn should remember what happens to those who bite the hand that feeds them. Now the MoveOn.org people who chant “No blood for Halliburton” will chant “No blood for Soros” instead.

MoveOn.org Bites its Benefactor’s Hand

While soldiers are dying in Iraq, Dick Cheney’s old company Halliburton has overcharged the government millions and charged for meals for the troops which were never delivered. We need to raise $1.1 million to get a new ad exposing the Bush Administration’s ties to Halliburton on the air. Please help by contributing below.

Here is what MoveOn.org’s ad script says about the company in which its patron, George Soros, is now a major shareholder.

Ad Script
…AUDIO
ANNOUNCER (VO): But Halliburton wanted more. They overcharged millions for gasoline. Worse, they charged hundreds of millions of dollars for meals for our troops that they never delivered.

CUT BACK TO THE DOMED SILVER TRAY. THE BUTLER RAISES IT AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME WE SEE STACKS OF MONEY.

AUDIO
ANNOUNCER (VO): And George Bush is still doing business with them.

And now MoveOn.org benefactor George Soros owns 1.9 million shares of the same company.

We do not have any problems with Halliburton or Soros’ ownership of its stock, but MoveOn.org obviously does. Now, either MoveOn.org is asking its members and supportors for money to propagate lies about Halliburton, or MoveOn.org is telling the truth. Let us examine each of these cases by itself, without passing any judgment on the merits of either. We don’t have to in order to prove our case.

(1) MoveOn.org is lying about Halliburton
If MoveOn.org is lying about Halliburton, then it is asking its prospective supporters to donate up to $2000 on false pretenses. This should be enough to make every single rank-and-file member quit in disgust. We remind MoveOn of what happened to Soros’ other organization, the Million Mom March, when it came out that the organization was soliciting money under false pretenses.

(2) MoveOn.org is telling the truth about Halliburton
If MoveOn.org is telling the truth about Halliburton, then its patron George Soros has bought 1.9 million shares of the same “evil company.” It may also be noted that Soros is a major backer of Barack Obama, to whom he and members of his family gave $60,000 to support his Senate primary.

Now our question to both MoveOn.org and George Soros, and we are sure the nation’s entire progressive community wants a prompt and unambiguous answer, is as follows: Did MoveOn.org solicit donations from its followers by lying about Halliburton, or is it telling the truth about the company whose stock its benefactor just purchased?

Now here is a bonus piece of information:

As WND reported, another outspoken leftist who had criticized Halliburton was discovered to own stock in the company – filmmaker Michael Moore.
