A convicted inside trader whose currency manipulations have been known to threaten national governments and currencies, he testified on November 13, 2008, before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform about the risks posed by the hedge funds that he and other billionaires operate. In addition to the Democratic Party, his financial fingerprints (web site) are all over leftist, "progressive" and news media organizations.

The Connect U.S. Fund is funded by Soros's Open Society Institute (web site) and other liberal foundations and provides grants to pro-U.N. groups around the country. These groups, which provide the appearance of public support for more U.S. involvement in the U.N., were involved in a January 10 national conference call (web site) to promote a "Responsible U. S. Global Engagement" agenda for the Obama Administration. They are releasing a letter to Obama this week urging close cooperation with the U.N. on such issues as human rights, climate change, arms control and foreign aid.

This is bound to find a favorable response, since the co-chair of the Obama-Biden Transition Project, John Podesta, a former Clinton chief of staff, comes from another Soros-funded group, the Center for American Progress.

Although Obama and Podesta promised full disclosure of transition meetings and documents ―and Podesta even issued a December 5, 2008, memorandum on (web site) the subject―no information about Schwartz's December 6, 2008, meetings with the Washington Working Group on the International Criminal Court (WICC) and the Partnership for Effective Peacekeeping (PEP) appears on the "Seat at the Table" section (web site) of the Obama website. The "Seat at the Table" was designed to create the impression that the Transition Project was being open and honest about meeting with special interest and outside groups.

WICC and PEP are fronts of Citizens for Global Solutions (CGS), the new name of the World Federalist Association, an organization openly dedicated to the establishment of a world government with a world army financed by global taxes.

The CGS itself disclosed the meetings (web site) with Schwartz, boasting that the WICC and PEP emphasized the need for Obama to accept the ICC and place "more blue helmets on U.S. troops," a reference to U.N. military operations where American troops wear U.N. blue berets or helmets and take orders from foreign commanders. So-called "progressive" groups and media figures such as Nicholas D. Kristof of the New York Times have been waging vigorous campaigns to get U.S. forces deployed around the world in various conflicts that do not involve threats to U.S. national security.
