OUTRAGE: Fox News Now Considers Any Criticism of George Soros to Be Anti-Semitic

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By CNN. . .On Sunday, the network’s senior vice president for programming, Gary Schreier, released a statement denouncing what many people called an anti-Semitic trope used by a guest on Dobbs’ show earlier in the week. . .

“We condemn the rhetoric by the guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Schreier said in a short statement. “This episode was a repeat which has now been pulled from all future airings.”

The comment in question was made by Chris Farrell, a board member of the right-wing organization Judicial Watch, during Thursday night’s episode of Dobbs’ show. During a segment about the caravan of migrants moving toward the US’ southern border, Farrell called the State Department “Soros-occupied” territory, referring to billionaire and liberal philanthropist George Soros, one of the targets of mail bombs discovered earlier this week.

House Republican Campaign Chief Defends Anti-Soros Ads

By NBC News. Ohio Rep. Steve Stivers, chairman of the House GOP campaign arm, defended the group’s repeated criticism of billionaire liberal donor George Soros in campaign ads on Sunday.

The National Republican Congressional Committee has been running ads in Minnesota’s First Congressional District tying the Democratic candidate, Dan Feehan, to Soros. Feehan worked at the Center for New American Security, a think-tank that received funding from Soros.

The first ad, which began running the middle of this month, shows Soros sitting behind a pile of money as the words “connoisseur of chaos” show on the screen. . .

When asked about the ads, Stivers noted that the group’s independent expenditure staff, which creates the ads, is walled off from the rest of the committee leadership to comply with campaign finance laws. But he defended the ad as “factual.”

“Our independent expenditure arm is independent. But that ad is factual. And it also has nothing to do with calling for violence. That ad is a factual ad,” he said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” (Read more from “House Republican Campaign Chief Defends Anti-Soros Ads” HERE)

An explosive device was found in left-wing billionaire donor George Soros’s mailbox at his home in New York on Monday afternoon.

“An employee of the residence opened the package, revealing what appeared to be an explosive device,” the police said in a statement, according to the New York Times. “The employee placed the package in a wooded area and called the Bedford police.”

The device did not detonate on its own, however, the bomb squad technicians did set off the device intentionally. (Read more from “Explosive Device Found in George Soros’ Mailbox” HERE)

Trump Was RIGHT: Anti-Kavanaugh Protester Is Paid by Soros-Funded Group. Saying so Is Not Anti-Semitic

/0 Comments/in , /by

The hysteria continues …

No. It’s not … The competition for most ridiculous take on the Kavanaugh saga is huge. Here’s why New York Times op-ed columnist David Leonhardt just earned a nomination for the award. He called exposing the astroturf protests against Kavanaugh and GOP senators “anti-Semitic.”

On Friday, Maria Bartoromo asked Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, “Do you believe George Soros is behind all of this? Paying these people to get you and your colleagues in elevators?” Grassley answered, “I have heard so many people believe that. I tend to believe it.” Later in the day, Trump tweeted the accusation.

Then Leonhardt jumped in by tweet, “Let’s be clear here: Charles Grassley is a United States Senator. He is responsible for his words. And his words here amount to an anti-Semitic smear.”

Say what? Just because George Soros is Jewish doesn’t mean that this is an “anti-Semitic smear.” Maybe Leonhardt missed the CNN report from yesterday where Joe Johns reported, “They are brought here by an umbrella group or number of umbrella groups and come from all sorts of different progressive and liberal causes.”

The New York Times claims that Trump made the claim “without evidence.” The paper used as its evidence the following paragraph.

One of the women who confronted Mr. Flake, Ana Maria Archila, the executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy, a New York-based liberal organizing group, said she had not been paid.

Let’s unpack that. The woman they say claims she wasn’t paid is the PAID executive director of an organizing group. It’s literally her job to organize these types of protests. Archila’s compensation in 2015, according to the organization’s IRS form 990 was $150,221.

Oh, and according to Fox News, her organization regularly receives grants from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. Forbes reported in this week’s annual Forbes 400 that Soros transferred $18 billion to this foundation over the past year.

The Times has updated its reporting and changed the title, all without an editor’s note. The paper now reports that Archila is paid by a Soros-funded group but says she wasn’t paid expressly to be there. That’s insane.

Sorry, New York Times, but Trump was actually correct, as was Grassley. And furthermore, Trump doesn’t have to footnote every tweet. The original title of the Times piece included “without evidence.” When the evidence materialized, the Times changed its title, but not its narrative. That’s a textbook example of fake news.

Just ‘politics’ … Wednesday on CNN, former Obama administration appointee and current CNN anchor Jim Sciutto said that alleging someone is a gang-rapist is just “politics.” Here, watch.

How diseased does your brain have to be to even think that statement is in any way OK? (For more from the author of “Trump Was Right: Anti-Kavanaugh Protester Is Paid by Soros-Funded Group. Saying so Is Not Anti-Semitic” please click HERE)

Soros-Backed Activists Slip Cash to Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters Before Arrests

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Caller. Left-wing groups funded by George Soros and other major Democrat donors hand out cash to protesters arrested for disrupting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, the activists revealed Monday night.

A coalition of left-wing activist organizations including Women’s March, the Center for Popular Democracy and Housing Works have scheduled the near-constant disruptions at the Kavanaugh hearings as part of an organized effort to derail the confirmation process in a series of meetings since he was first nominated.

The cash from the donor-funded groups goes toward the protesters’ post-and-forfeit payments — a small cash sum paid to resolve low-level misdemeanor crimes and avoid jail time.

Those are just some of the details that representatives from the three groups revealed in a Monday night conference call planning their next two anti-Kavanaugh protests, one on Thursday and one next Monday.

The Daily Caller News Foundation received a tip with the dial-in code for Monday’s conference call and was present on the call in its entirety. One reporter, who asked questions, revealed his name during the introductions portion of the meeting.

George Soros’s Son Pours Nearly $3 Million Into Democratic Coffers for Midterms

By The Washington Free Beacon. Alexander Soros, the son of liberal billionaire George Soros, has given nearly $3 million to Democratic committees this election cycle for the midterm elections, Federal Election Commission filings show.

Alex acts as the deputy chair of the Open Society Foundations, his father’s nonprofit that disburses large sums of cash to liberal organizations and causes, and has followed in his father’s footsteps in recent years by becoming a major liberal donor.

Alex’s largest donation this cycle was for $2 million to the Senate Majority PAC (SMP), a committee launched by former staffers of retired Nevada senator Harry Reid that is dedicated to electing and keeping Democrats in the Senate.

SMP reports nearly $80 million in contributions this cycle, and Alex’s $2 million donation makes him one of the top donors to the PAC, its filings show. The group has already dished out more than $30 million in independent expenditures this cycle backing Democrats.

Alex added $33,900 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s coffers. Another $101,700 was given to the committee’s headquarters account while $101,700 went to the committee’s recount account.

UNCOVERED: Socialist Ocasio-Cortez Campaign Funded by Soros, Young Turks

/2 Comments/in , /by

Researcher Richard Weinstein joined Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere on Wednesday’s show to discuss his stunning discovery of the deep pockets behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “grassroots” campaign.

Wondering how Ocasio-Cortez achieved her primary win in the 14th district of New York without really knowing any policy, Weinstein began a preliminary search for answers. He quickly discovered that in 2017, Ocasio-Cortez’s website belonged to a group called “Brand New Congress.”

By following the “bouncing ball,” Weinstein soon found out that Brand New Congress is a group dedicated to flooding “the playing field with progressives.” BNC’s co-founder, Saikat Chakrabarti, appeared on Rachel Maddow’s show to discuss how the group is “capitalizing on Bernie Sanders’ appeal.”

The trail then leads from Saikat Chakrabarti to an affiliated organization called “Justice Democrats,” which is co-founded by Cenk Uygur, a far-left founder and host of The Young Turks.

Billionaire and Liberal Operative George Soros Laments Hillary’s Loss, Failure of His Other Agendas

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Billionaire and liberal operative George Soros says some of his agendas are being ruined now that Donald Trump is president.

“Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong,” Soros said in a Washington Post report.

For instance, Hillary Clinton’s loss to Trump put a serious ding in Soros’ globalist agenda. Overseas, the European Union faces the impending pull-out of Britain and a rising anti-immigrant sentiment. Soros has also become a political target in elections from Hungary to California. At times, his donations at times are used against causes he supports, the report states. . .

Soros, the Post pointed out, is often described as “an all-powerful puppet master, a Nazi sympathizer and the person controlling the Democratic Party.”

Soros, a Hungary native, became “one of the world’s wealthiest people by managing hedge funds and betting on currency changes,” the report stated. (Read more from “Billionaire and Liberal Operative George Soros Laments Hillary’s Loss, Failure of His Other Agendas” HERE)

Billionaire Soros Is Receiving Handouts – Taxpayers Aren’t Going to Be Happy About This

/0 Comments/in , /by

By WND. Billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros is known for donating hundreds of millions of dollars to support progressive causes . . .

Now it’s been revealed that American taxpayers are helping foot the bill for Soros causes.

Washington watchdog Judicial Watch obtained 32 pages of records “showing the Obama administration sent U.S. taxpayers’ funds to a group backed by billionaire George Soros, which used the money to fund left-wing political activities in Albania.”

Such work included “working with the country’s socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial ‘reform,’” Judicial Watch said. “The records also detail how the Soros operation helped the State Department review grant applications from other groups for taxpayer funding.”

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the Obama administration “quietly spent at least $9 million in U.S. taxpayers’ dollars in direct collusion with left-wing billionaire George Soros’ backing of a socialist government in Albania.” (Read more from “Billionaire Soros Is Receiving Handouts – Taxpayers Aren’t Going to Be Happy About This” HERE)

Judicial Watch: State Department Records Show Obama Administration Helped Fund George Soros’ Left-Wing Political Activities in Albania

By Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch obtained 32 pages of records showing the Obama administration sent U.S. taxpayers’ funds to a group backed by billionaire George Soros, which used the money to fund left-wing political activities in Albania, including working with the country’s socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial “reform.” The records also detail how the Soros operation helped the State Department review grant applications from other groups for taxpayer funding.

The records were obtained in a May 26, 2017, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) after both the State Department and USAID failed to respond to March 31, 2017, FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (No. 1:17-cv-01012)). Judicial Watch agreed to dismiss the lawsuit after it received the documents and payment of attorneys’ fees.

The new documents show USAID funds were funneled through that agency’s Civil Society Project to back Soros’s left-wing Open Society Foundations in Albania, particularly the Soros operation efforts to give the socialist government greater control of the judiciary. USAID reportedly gave $9 million in 2016 to the “Justice for All” campaign, which is overseen by Soros’s “East West Management Institute.”

In March 2017, a group of six U.S. Senators led by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) sent a letter to then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asking that he investigate charges that the U.S. government was using taxpayer funds to assist Soros in Albania. The letter said, “Foundation Open society-Albania and its experts, with funding from USAID, have created the controversial Strategy Document for Albanian Judicial Reform. Some leaders believe that these ‘reforms’ are ultimately aimed to give the Prime Minister and left-of-center government full control over the judiciary.” In the Albanian parliament, opposition leaders have labeled the Strategy “a Soros-sponsored reform.” (Read more from “Judicial Watch: State Department Records Show Obama Administration Helped Fund George Soros’ Left-Wing Political Activities in Albania” HERE)

George Soros Broke a Record Trying to Oppose Trump Last Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberal billionaire George Soros spent more on lobbying during President Donald Trump’s first year in office than he has in any previous year, disclosure forms show.

The Open Society Policy Center, a D.C.-based 501 (c)(4) nonprofit that focuses on domestic and international advocacy efforts and is a separate entity from Soros’s Open Society Foundations, poured $16.2 million into lobbying throughout the entirety of 2017.

Soros’s group reported spending $4.6 million during the first half of 2017 on its lobbying efforts. During the third quarter, Soros added $1.25 million to the total. Most of the lobbying expenditures—$10.3 million—were spent during the fourth quarter, which spans from October 1 to December 31.

Soros ramped up his efforts as the year progressed by pushing funds toward issues that have been seen as a direct attack on the deep-pocketed financier, such as Hungary’s Bill on Foreign Funded Organizations (LexNGO), a crackdown on foreign-funded organizations in that country . . .

Soros also pushed funds to lobby on the Restricted First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act of 2017, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2018, and the Preventing Preemptive War in North Korea Act of 2017, among others, according to the disclosure forms. The Open Society Policy Center lobbied the Senate, House of Representatives, State Department, National Security Council, and the Department of Defense last year.

Journalist: Soros Thinks He’s a God

/0 Comments/in , /by

An investigative journalist who has researched and written widely on radical advocacy organizations – and their sources of funding – says the prominent leftist billionaire who likes to subsidize those campaigns, George Soros, thinks he’s, well, a god.

The comments come from Matthew Vadum, the senior vice president of Capital Research Center, a think tank that deals with investigative projects . . .

He was speaking Tuesday at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., the site of the first Sovereign Nations Conference, which has “Understanding the Causes of Things” as the theme this year.

The Marxist billionaire is a megalomaniac who believes he is a god, Vadum explained.

“Somehow Soros began to think that he was a god because he had all this money that he earned from hedge funds – he made a billion dollars overnight in one transaction. He’s on record saying he began thinking of himself as a god. Initially, this troubled him, but then eventually he got used to and became fine with the idea.

George Soros Denounced by Hungary as ‘Satan’ Seeking to Destroy ‘Christian Europe’

/0 Comments/in , /by

George Soros is “Satan.” And his agenda is one that “from its heart hates Christian Europe’s traditions and civilization” [said] two high-profile Hungarian officials in their recent remarks attacking the Hungarian-American hedge fund billionaire and philanthropist. . .

In a speech entititled “The Christian duty to fight against the Satan/Soros Plan,” András Aradszki, the government’s secretary of state for energy, framed his ruling party’s long running campaign against Soros for the first time in explicitly theological terms.

Linking Soros to “abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and the forced politicization of gender theory,” Aradszki declared from the floor of Hungary’s parliament Sunday, “The Soros mercenaries do not cite the Holy Father’s thoughts on this.”

He added: “Soros and his comrades want to destroy the independence and values of nation states for the purpose of watering down the Christian spirit of Europe.”

Citing an alleged plan by Soros for to forcibly settle “tens of millions of migrants” in Europe, Aradszki declared, “The fight against Satan is a Christian duty. Yes, I speak of an attack by Satan, who is also the angel of denial, because they are denying what they are preparing to do — even when it is completely obvious.” (Read more from “George Soros Denounced by Hungary as ‘Satan’ Seeking to Destroy ‘Christian Europe'” HERE)
