This is quite a convoluted story with several threads, but contains may worthwhile truths to discard wholly.
A CV subscriber followed this Snopes report to us (which appears to be a mixture of truth - the Soros participation was not substantiated by Snopes):
THIS EXPLAINS A LOT OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN NYC
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat a coincidence!
Hey, this is great! Imagine the odds of this happening.
It's Zuccotti Park. Did you know this park is not owned by the city of New York?
It is owned by Brookfield Properties.
Who was just hired by Brookfield Properties as an attorney?
Vice President Joe Biden's son.
Who sits on the board of Brookfield Properties?
Mayor Bloomberg's live in girlfriend.
Diana L. Taylor, Mayor's Live-In
Now, guess what company just received some of the last of the Obama Stimulus $$$$$$$.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaat's right, Brookfield Properties.
"A question asked by many since the demonstrators occupied New York's Zuccotti Park is why Mayor Michael Bloomberg has taken such a hands-off approach. The official explanation is that Bloomberg's hands are tied by the fact that the park is privately owned. There may be more to the story, however: Zuccotti Park is owned by Brookfield Properties, one of the directors of which happens to be Bloomberg's girlfriend, according to the Atlantic Wire.
Then there is this: Brookfield Properties is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Managers (BAM), which has another subsidiary, the Brookfield Renewable Power Co. The latter owns Granite Wind Power Co. in New Hampshire. Granite recently received a $167 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy under President Obama's economic stimulus program. Among BAM's stockholders is one George Soros. Small world, isn't it! "[Snopes.com could find no evidence of Soros ownership in any of these companies.]
Isn't life great in America!
Now, guess what, on a completely unrelated note, Wisconsin is shaping up to be the swing state in the 2012 presidential elections. Not Florida. Not Ohio. But Wisconsin.
Now, guess who owns the company that will be tabulating the electronic votes in Wisconsin.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaat's right, the biggest contributor to Obama, the puppeteer George Soros. [Snopes.com could find no evidence of Soros ownership in any of these companies.]
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat a coincidence!
Now remember what Stalin said. "He who votes does not have the power. He who counts the votes has the power".
