Network Politics, Part 3, 1GW / 4GW: George Soros
Note: This is a selection from Network Politics, a tdaxp series.
"Let the Political Wars Begin," by Richard Bond, Washington Times, 12 May 2005, http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20050511-085135-5927r.htm (Real Clear Politics).
Disclaimer: I generally admire George Soros. His Open Society Foundation and other groups have done real good in Georgia, Ukraine, and other countries. They continue peacefully organize people in Belarus, Uzbekistan, and other dictatorships. There's a lot of conspiracy theories about Mr. Soros that are not true. Nonetheless, he is active political in the United States, and I believe his actions are explainable under Generational Network Struggle Theory and PISRR.
That said
Prolog: Two Separate Networks
The Soros Network (Sorosnet) is a fourth generation political movement dedicated to peacefully seizing the U.S. government and using executive, legislative, and judicial powers to enact its laws. Sorosnet is glued together through an ideological drive. At the same time, the Democrat Party (Demnet) is a first generation political movement dedicated to enacting the will of its leaders will building loyalty on a system of patrimony.
Sorosnet and Democrat Party: Two Separate Networks
Penetrate: Sorosnet Links With Demnet
The financial chieftains of the far-left of the Democratic Party met recently to discuss ways to win back the majority of American voters.
The elite group, comprised of several dozen millionaires, dubbed itself the "Phoenix Group," and is led by billionaire George Soros. Details of the group's deliberations were closely guarded, but reports indicate that the liberal financiers plan to fund multiple left-of-center groups in order to formulate a "new" party message.
This news ought to chill the hearts of loyal Democrats, in particular party moderates, in light of recent activity by one of the groups the millionaires have funded. Criticism of a centrist member of the Democratic leadership by MoveOn.org, recipient of $2.5 million from Mr. Soros in 2004, can be seen as the opening shot in an internal war that could cripple or even break apart the Democratic Party
Sorosnet supports MoveOn and related groups that surge into the Democrat primary and general elections. MoveOn support builds up preferred spokesmen like Michael Moore and tacitly endorses candidates that position themselves as radical (Howard Dead, Wes Clarke, etc.). Sorosnet penetration builds during the general election to all manner of propaganda
Sorosnet Peacefully Links With Demnet
Isolate: Sorosnet Attacks Hostile Democrat Nodes
MoveOn.org's target was House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland, one of 73 Democrats who supported bankruptcy-reform legislation. Mr. Hoyer, a 25- year congressional veteran, was the target of a critical $100,000 radio campaign funded by MoveOn.org as punishment for his vote to reform bankruptcy laws.
Mr. Hoyer is not the only Democrat to incur MoveOn.org's wrath. The group's director recently attacked the centrist Democrat Leadership Council (DLC) founded by then-Arkansas governor Bill Clinton. The DLC's leader fired back that Democrats should reject Michael Moore and the MoveOn.org crowd.
Combining the First and Second stages of Fourth Generation Politics, Sorosnet begins altering Demnet through node takedown and network contestment. Maintaining a fast tempo of operations, Sorosnet constantly gets inside the Demnet decision ("Observe-Orient-Decide-Act," or "OODA") loop. The goals of Isolation attacks are to highlight the power and attractiveness of Sorosnet, the weakness and decadence of Demnet, as well as gaining network power.
Sorosnet Targets Demnet Node
Attack Successful: Victim Node Now Isolated From Friends
Subvert: Sorosnet Infests Demnet
While Mr. Hoyer is impregnable politically, winning with 69 percent of the vote in his last election, the message MoveOn.org is sending is clear: Bipartisan cooperation is unacceptable.
It's not just "sending a message" - it is altering the very nature of Demnet. Power increasingly flows from Sorosnet, and Sorosnet-linked nodes, to ideologically neutral nodes. In other words, ideological infiltrators are "hijacking" a relationship-based partisan institution to push ideological ends. Demnet now not only suffers Sorosnet fellow travelers and link attacks - parts of the regular command-and-control of the party now actively push the Sorosnet agenda. Like a chemical in the bloodstream, Sorosnet's influence spreads through the party's bloodlines.
Sorosnet Uses Network Power to Influence Neutral Demnet Nodes
Reorient: Sorosnet Creates A New Reality
This is an objective of Sorosnet -- it hasn't happened yet. Sorosnet's future worth creating is a Democrat Party that is commanded by Sorosnet nodes for Sorosnet purposes. Reorienting means that the party now accepts Sorosnet hegemony. However, the party is still in a transitional state, as most personal relationships pre-date Sorosnet system administration.
Goal: Sorosnet Runs Demnet
Reharmonize: We Are All Sorosnetizens Now
The final intra-party objective of The Soros Network: full Democrat acceptance of Sorosnet. Sorosnet ideology and nodes control all aspects of the party, and no intra-party opposition remains. In other words, a situation similar to the present Republican Party under the Social-Conservative/Pro-Market/Pro-Globalization regime.
Goal: Sorosnet Is Demnet

You're oversimplifying here. After each major electoral loss, there are multiple organizations that try to take over the losing political party. The conservatives fought it out with the "Eastern establishment" for a couple of decades. In the middle was the Republican party infrastructure much as Demnet is the target here.
I would submit that an earlier generation organization is much more likely to survive multiple competing 4GW assaults than one alone.

TM: Thanks for the comment. I think we agree.
There was a ideological "conservative" takeover of the Republican party. A party was reoriented and reharmonized by a networked insurgency.
While numerous factions fought for control of the Republican Party, they congeled. Because each was most concerned about forward movement in its area, and willing to let the other factions do what they want, a "coherent enough" worldview of social conservatism, free marketing, and globalization seized the party. So the victorious 4GP assaults were not competing but harmonizing.
Like in any 4th Generation struggle, victory takes decades. In Whitman, Jeffords, and maybe Chaffey, we are seeing the exhaustion and despair of any establishment defeated by 4G insurgents.
I hadn't thought about survivability of early-G networks when faced with contradictory 4G assaults. I would guess that a 1GP net faced with competing 4GP nets would be very vulnerable, as each might conquer and fortify only part of the network. We see dawn shadows of this in 1860, where the 1GP Democrat Party was torn apart by "passions." To use different generations, the 2GW Italian army fell to opposing American and German 3GW forces. Likewise the 2GW Bosnian force immediately collapsing to 4G Muslim, Serb, and Croat warriors.

It's funny that you use Sorros as the example of a network takeover that might happen when the Christian Right take over of the Republican Party has already happened...

Dr. Forbush,
I mostly agree. The Neocons and Theocons seem to the the core of an ideological alliance that has both the fighting-power and staying-power for world-struggle.
Likewise, the religious right's combination of Fourth-Generation ideological networks with Pre-Modern family networks (which together make church groups) is very powerful.

It would be interesting to examine the takeover of the GOP.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Ever played much Illuminati?

Maybe not Illuminati, but definitely INWO (the Illuminati New World Order) trading card game (http://www.sjgames.com/inwo/). My God that is fun! I only played it a few times while in undergrad, but I had a blast every time. We would play in the union, or even in the common area of a floor on a dorm none of us lived on.
Wow! I haven't rememberd that for years!
