On February 3rd, 2011, Soros wrote Why Obama has to get Egypt right.

"Revolutions usually start with enthusiasm and end in tears. In the case of the Middle East, the tears could be avoided if President Obama stands firmly by the values that got him elected."

I often wonder what values Soros is referring to. He goes on to comment on Tunisia and then the complexities of Egypt.

Egypt is more complex and, ultimately, more influential, which is why it is so important to get it right. The protesters are very diverse, including highly educated and common people, young and old, well-to-do and desperately poor. While the are not advancing a theocratic agenda at all, the best-organized political opposition that managed to survive in that country's repressive environment is the . In free elections, the Brotherhood is bound to emerge as a major political force, though it is far from assured of a majority."

Soros also stated "In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has." He went on to state, "I am, as a general rule, wary of revolutions. But in the case of Egypt, I see a good chance of success. As a committed advocate of democracy and open society, I cannot help but share in the enthusiasm that is sweeping across the Middle East. I hope President Obama will expeditiously support the people of Egypt. My foundations are prepared to contribute what they can. In practice, that means establishing resource centers for supporting the rule of law, constitutional reform, fighting corruption and strengthening democratic institutions in those countries that request help in establishing them, while staying out of those countries where such efforts are not welcome. "

George Soros et al own the media . However the mass media bias could have been avoided if the Arab media had covered from all angles the events as they "played" from day to day. Arabic and English media and assessment, evaluation; implementation should have taken place immediately on how to cover the intimidated "Arab Spring" and act upon it.

The Soros media empire truly spans the globe, but few even realize it because it's decentralized under numerous organizations, funded in turn by more than 30 Open Society Foundations. But then the Arab influence also spans around the Globe and that should have been utilized although may not have been as the incidents of the Arab Spring shocked the Arab world.

Having researched further to determine if the uprisings in the Middle East were spontaneous, predetermined, or not, I found an article which stated " Last year I was watching Al Jazeera and cheering on the crowds in Tahrir Square, not all the way, but regardless was hooked and intrigued like most people around the world. There were a couple of things that pointed me in the right direction.

One was an op-ed piece in the Washington Post on February 3 by none other than George Soros. It was entitled "Why Obama has to Get Egypt Right"

The writer went on: In that op-ed, Soros was urging Obama, whom he had helped get elected, to support the protestors. He said that his foundations would contribute what they could.

However, anyone who knows what happened in Eastern Europe, with the fall of communism and the subsequent "color revolutions," know the key role of George Soros, his Open Society Institute, and his collaboration with U.S. government agencies such as USAID; and near-governmental organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy, and its affiliates, the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute.

They know that when Soros is talking about democracy, he's really talking about opening up those countries to his investment opportunities.

So, that was the first thing that made me suspicious. I wrote a piece on that entitled "." In his op-ed, Soros said it was a "hopeful sign" that the Muslim Brotherhood was cooperating with ElBaradei, the former IAEA chief. Soros neglected to mention, however, that ElBaradei was a board member of the , which was founded and financed by Soros. Of course, he gave up his board membership on his return to Egypt.
