    So where does George Soros live? And to what nation does he pay his taxes?

    I live and pay my taxes in the U.S.


    (P.S. -- I am not going to apologize for calling out the truth. Nor will I apologize for calling out Soros for funding organizations causing riots in our streets.)

    Don't be a victim of Russian attempts to smear George Soros. Soros has been a thorn in Putin's side for a long while, and he is the target of a relentless attacks waged by the Russians and sponsored by the Russian State on the internet. Soros has spent a good part of his fortune fighting totalitarian governments around the world. The Russian government is one of those governments. He is equally reviled by Erdogon in Turkey and Orban in Hungary. George Soros is one of my personal heroes for his dedication to individual rights and freedom around the world. He is one of Freedoms true heroes.

    I don't know what dispensationalism is, but i will google it and find out. Thank you. I'll let you know what I think.

    I looked at the article on Wiki. I can see right away that it would take a great deal of study and time to fully grasp this concept. I immediately formed the the impression that the disciples of dispensationalism were unclear about it as well. I am not sufficiently interested, I am sorry to say, that I want to spend much time pursuing this topic. I prefer, for the time being at least, to remain ignorant re dispensationalism.

    When organizations funded by him are blocking my access to RDU airport then he certainly is not one of my heroes.

    While he may have U.S. citizenship, he also has foreign citizenship in one or more other nations -- if he does not reside in the U.S. or pay taxes here then he is a foreigner.

    While I would be happy to talk about some of the positive and negative points about the work performed by the Open Society Foundation on a factual basis -- in recent years the negative is outweighs the positive IMO.

    Piezoe,

    A cursory reading and understanding will probably confuse or be a turn off. Dispensationalism is a way of segmenting the Bible into different historical timeframes where God has revealed Himself in a progressive fashion to mankind. It also lays out Gods plan (historical and future) for the Church and for Israel.

    A lot of times things from the Old Testament while still meaningful, apply themselves in a different Theological context today.

    I don't know Soros personally. I would love to meet him. He once lived in California, so far as I know he now lives in New York. He pays U.S. and New York Taxes. Soros Fund Management, L.L.C. , 250 West 55th Street, New York, NY. Soros' son Roert is deputy chairman and head of the Soros family fund. According to Wikipedia, Soros ' fund averaged over 20% return over four decades. (During the time that George Soros hinmself was actively involved in managing the fund, and before it was closed to the public and became a private family fund, the fund averaged 30% returns, the highest sustained return of any hedge fund at that time.

    He lived in New York from 2000 to 2011. Where does he live now?

    You can buy a detaled book about the Foundation. I own it. It is available on Amazon. Will answer all your questions. He does not run the open society foundation himself of course. You have many ideas about Soros' Open Society Foundation that are completely wrong. But that is understandable considering the smear campaign he has been subjected to on the internet. He ignores all of this, and simply presses on.

    He won't be with us much longer. Why is this important to you. So far as I know, he still lives in New York. I don't imagine he publishes his address. Would you, if you were him? Are you planning to track him down and try to kill him or something?

    He has the resources to live wherever he wants. Were I him and I only had a few years to live, I would live where my family and friends were. I imagine he is doing the same, although he has the resources to live wherever he likes.
