it unusual that it be so explicitly political or are liberals are there are there you know was george soros out there past out money universities and saying you have to do a study showing that franklin roosevelt was the greatest president in history. you know sure and this is not a unique phenomenon in the sense you know of my own school university of maryland appliance maker black and decker has a relationship with the engineering department where some of the research and patents that are developed out of the maryland engineering department are then transferred to black and. cared for their own for profit yes so you know with budget cuts going on across the country there are corporations swooping in and taking advantage of publicly funded and sometimes probably going to do research for their own also has been a pharmaceutical company has been doing this for for ever it seems like you know i remember this back in michigan state thirty years ago in the end and the seed companies but. i'm wondering if it's happening on the left to you have any evidence of that. and think that there would be i

the price of gold dropped sharply on tuesday, following reports that billionaire investor george sorosaded gold investments with nearly $800 million in the first quarter. he viewed the climb of the gold price as a bubble. he was among many investors in the u.s. to have been selling off their precious metal moldings. that has not deterred asian investors to continue to buy gold. back to you. >> thank you. japan unveiled new plans on tuesday to contain the crisis at the crippled fukushima nuclear facility. the operator has admitted that the risks and challenges are far greater than it had previously disclosed but it says it is on track to bring the nuclear reactors under control by january. >> few cameras have been inside the reactor said fukushima's since the facility was damaged. the images released tuesday show remote-controlled water cannons springing a green resin to bind radioactive particles. workers are making unpleasant discoveries, including melted fuel rods in reactor one, dangerous cracks in the containment vessel, and sinking coolant levels. they insist the timeline is reali

after the close, we learned hedge fund manager george soros recently cut his stake in apple. by 24% to 230,000 shares. microsoft's 1.8% drop and cisco's 1.7% fall made them the two biggest declines inside the dow jones industrial average today. online job firm monster worldwide was the weakest in the broader tech sector, falling more than 8%. look at this drop here. this takes shares down to an area of technical support, just below $15 per share. analysts think the selling could be in reaction to the planned initial public offering thursday of online networking site linked-in. why is that? because linked-in has been growing its job recruitment business, raising questions about new competition for monster worldwide. one other technology note-- blackberry maker research in motion. shares continue hitting multi- year lows, off a fraction today, but volume quadrupled. over the weekend, the company recalled about 1,000 of its new playbook tablet computers. they were shipped with bad operating systems, but most had not been sold to consumers. retail earnings out this week began wit

people investors you might be one among them but i haven't interviewed you but i know jim rogers george soros all of talk about the decline of the u.s. dollar as the reserve currency is it significant that the world bank is saying that and is it significant that they're getting a date. well i think that they're pulling the data out of a hat i mean there's no way to know i know that the current system is unsustainable and the longer the world tries to preserve the u.s. dollar as the reserve currency the worse the global imbalances are going to become the more inflation the world is going to suffer so the sooner the world understands this and look for an alternative i think gold is the best alternative then we can begin to tackle these problems of course when that happens america's ride on the global gravy train comes to an end and we're going to have to get used to living within our means which our means have been dramatically diminished over the years because of our industrial base basically having disintegrated due to high regulation i'd taxes cheap money all the things that we've done to un

control paradigm to keep folks on the reservation fighting with each other and then there's the george soros ford foundation arm that basically created the cia the ford foundation and others are on record working is a guy who doesn't know yes and afterwards and yes yes in the one hundred forty seven national security i mean look our source is the same government that gave us a. very hungry at that this is the same government that gave us fake documents and told us that hydrogen blim pumps were anthrax systems. alex you're never going to you're going to never going to get me to disagree with this missile and i wasn't going to factory during monica lewinsky alice and her people alex i'm agreeing this is wag the dog i'm telling you yes i know our government has lied to us the gulf of tonkin and it was only thing that laureus in my lifetime frankly but i'm just wondering why the nine eleven truth there is would love one back if he were actually works for a government agency and and nine eleven truth is love glenn beck ok they they don't are a great i in that please let me your thoughts on willia

communicating with each other they didn't call themselves goldman sachs as us every day this is the george soros model of making money well you could argue it was that's what it's not on unlike what he did when currency markets. tide bought back in the ninety's and he has been he has said this shouldn't be legal cannot be as long as video transparency there's nothing wrong with that there's nothing wrong with having articulated it's going to people buying futures no what happened is these individuals committed fraud and they manipulated the market but it it's very different if you have enough transparency and people are engaging in this and not using inside information there's nothing wrong with it why would you can anybody be buying oil futures who's not going to take delivery of the well because they're buying those futures because they think they can make money off it and they're going to not try to manipulate the price and are just trying what happens if the middle prices are going to go that if your line will rogers you can make money off you're going to drive up the price of what happens w

saakashvili is a us puppet he was installed in one of those themed revolutions which we know that george soros and his cia pumps a lot of money into and the difference is he's our guy and we're not going to see a no fly zone over georgia imposed by nato anytime soon well that's a really good point you know the united states has given for a chair of the. in dollars if they're usa i.d.'s and that's just one example of the eight and this is not a country of just four million or so in return georgia has supported the united states and iraq with i think two thousand troops was at the peak of their involvement and they've also committed troops to afghanistan that are helping on the war on terror so this relationship how much does the u.s. backed order and you said you believe they're going to continue the oil that's what salute the u.s. says a lot of investments and georgia and we had saakashvili already come out and say look this is going to potentially harm foreign investment in georgia using the typical neoconservative point talking points and using this specter of russia somehow being involved w
