State-run media in Myanmar reported a staffer affiliated with the Open Society Foundations, the philanthropic outfit founded by billionaire George Soros, has been detained and questioned for allegations of financial misconduct.
Eleven other Open Society officials are being sought for questioning, Reuters wrote.
Ruh-roh, Scooby. This is what happens when billionaire meddlers meddle with other nations’ governments: They risk angering other nations’ governments.
The Soros-tied organization is accused of funneling funds to the opposition forces of a coup that went forth in February.
And yes, perhaps the Soros money was siding with the cause of democracy and freedom; military forces had taken over and usurped the elected Aung San Suu Kyi’s right to rule, and cracked down on opposing protesters.
But Myanmar is its own nation.
Suu Kyi isn’t exactly a friend to Rohingya Muslims, the targets of ongoing genocide.
And Soros via his billions and various foundations does has a habit of tinkering where he doesn’t belong, trying to exert massive influence over entire governments and people.
