The China – Antifa Connection

The Washington Stand’s S.A. McCarthy reported:

Another Antifa funding source is ex-Microsoft executive Neville Roy Singham, who fled the U.S. and is now based in China, where he has strong links and financial ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and reportedly engages in generating CCP propaganda. Singham has distributed at least $100 million to various U.S.-based protest groups, including those linked to Antifa. Swiss pharmaceutical billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has also been linked to funding Antifa affiliates, according to Brunner. Other “Riot Inc.” investors allegedly covertly funding Antifa activism include the Democrat-aligned Arabella Advisors Network, the progressive grant-maker Tides Foundation, and foreign funding sources, such as Antifa International.

“Like any corporation, rioting has many divisions. It doesn’t just have the Antifa boots-on-the-ground division, it has PR divisions, it has marketing divisions, it has a very well-funded legal division to get these boots-on-the-ground back on the streets as quickly as possible,” Brunner told the president. “This money helps fund the decentralized crowdfunding platforms,” he added, referring to reportedly foreign-influenced crowdfunding networks that provide Antifa members and affiliates with gear and materials for riots and coverage for bail and legal fees. “Just because they don’t have LLCs or EIN numbers doesn’t mean they can’t get paid. Some of these crowdfunding platforms are funded by this network that we call Riot Inc.”

In comments to The Washington Stand, Brunner explained, “Antifa isn’t some spontaneous grassroots movement, it’s a coordinated network with funding streams that trace back to powerful interests, both foreign and domestic.” He continued, “Our research has shown that many of the same nonprofit and dark money structures that bankroll left-wing protest movements in the U.S. also support Antifa-aligned groups abroad. Money flows through cutouts: so-called ‘anti-fascist’ groups in Europe, donor-advised funds in the U.S., and even crowdfunding networks designed to obscure donors.”

According to Discover the Networks:

The Open Society Foundations (OSF) were founded as the Open Society Institute in 1993 by the multibillionaire hedge-fund manager George Soros, and took its current name in 2010. When Soros attended the London School of Economics (LSE) beginning in 1947, he was exposed to the works of the Viennese-born philosopher Karl Popper, who taught at LSE, and whom Soros would later call his “spiritual mentor.”[1] Most notably, Popper’s 1945 book The Open Society and Its Enemies introduced Soros to the concept of an “open society,” which affected him greatly.[2]

The term “open society” had been originally coined in 1932 by the French philosopher Henri Louis Bergson, to describe societies whose moral codes were founded upon “universal” principles seeking to enhance the welfare of all mankind—as opposed to “closed” societies that placed self-interest above any concern for other nations and cultures.[3]

[ … ]

Today Soros’s Open Society Foundations are active in more than 70 countries around the world.[10]  OSF is chiefly devoted to injecting capital into U.S.-based groups and causes. In his book Open Society: Reforming Global Capitalism, Soros explains that the “open society” which he has consistently sought to advance by means of philanthropy, “stands for freedom, democracy, rule of law, human rights, social justice, and social responsibility as a universal idea.”[11]

Scott Walter in his book Arabella: The Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Transforming America reports:

While figures like George Soros, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg are known for their hefty political donations, few Americans have heard of Arabella Advisors. Even more powerful than these standalone billionaires, Arabella is a secretive “dark money” operation that channels megadonor funds into leftist political causes via pop-up groups designed to look like innocent grassroots outfits.

The sheer quantity of money that has flowed through Arabella’s channels is staggering. In the 2020 election cycle, Arabella’s nonprofits took in $2.4 billion, more than the fundraising of the Democratic and Republican National Committees combined. In the 2022 election cycle, Arabella’s fundraising rose to $3 billion.

In this book, Scott Walter reveals the major role that Arabella has played in battles over Supreme Court nominations, abortion, women’s sports, school discipline, Medicare for All, environmental policies, fake local news outlets, “Zuck Bucks” that manipulate election offices, and much more.

This mountain of money and influence aimed at transforming America explains why even left-leaning major media are alarmed. Arabella is “the indisputable heavyweight of Democratic dark money,” warns the Atlantic. A “dark-money behemoth,” says Politico. An “opaque network,” says the New York Times, that funnels “hundreds of millions of dollars through a daisy chain of groups supporting Democrats and progressive causes.”

Citizens from across the political spectrum will be shocked to learn how Arabella has covertly developed the darkest of “dark money” networks.

Discover the Networks reports:

Hansjorg Wyss was born in Bern, Switzerland on September 19, 1935. He earned an MS degree in Civil and Structural Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1959, and an MBA from the Harvard University Graduate School of Business in 1965. After completing his education, Wyss was employed in the textile industry in places like Pakistan, Turkey, and the Philippines. He also worked in the steel industry in Belgium, during which time he ran a side business selling airplanes. One of his buyers was a surgeon who in 1960 had co-founded the Swiss medical-device manufacturer Synthes; this encounter eventually led to Wyss becoming the founder and president of Synthes’s U.S. division in 1977.

In 1998, Mr. Wyss established the Wyss Foundation, which later became a member of the Democracy Alliance, as a philanthropy dedicated to supporting “projects in areas from conservation and education to economic opportunity and social justice.” As of March 2015, Wyss and his Foundation had donated more than $350 million to environmental causes. The recipients of those funds were largely leftist organizations that view capitalism and human industrial activity as inherently destructive of the natural world. In 2010, for instance, Wyss contributed $35 million to help the Trust for Public Land (TPL) and the Nature Conservancy purchase 310,000 acres of private timberlands in northern Montana, to protect grizzly bear and wolverine habitats from encroachment by business and industry. In 2013 he donated $4.25 million to TPL, to purchase oil and gas leases on 58,000 acres Wyoming’s Hoback Basin and thereby protect the region from development. That same year, Wyss spent $2 million to help dismantle the 100-year-old Veazie Dam and thus restore fish passage in Maine’s Penobscot River. And in 2015, Wyss Foundation funds helped the Nature Conservancy purchase 3,184 acres along the Hoh River in Washington, in an effort to increase salmon populations there.[1]

In addition, Mr. Wyss has established a number of endowed chairs in medicine; he supports research, education, and training at numerous universities and hospitals; in 2009 he contributed $125 million to Harvard University to fund the establishment of a biological institute bearing his name; in 2013 he pledged another $125 million to Harvard; and in 2014 he pledged $120 million to help two Swiss universities create a center dedicated to the acceleration of medical breakthroughs.[2]

Soros-Backed Leftist Group Behind Campaign To Force Government Shutdown

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

A left-wing activist group that received millions of dollars from the Soros family’s organization is spearheading a pressure campaign to push Democratic senators to vote against funding the government and force a partial shutdown.

Indivisible — the organization behind many of the recent “No Kings” protests and other demonstrations part of the so-called “resistance” against President Donald Trump — has embarked on a recent effort to goad Senate Democrats to not come to a bipartisan funding agreement with their Republican colleagues and the president. The group’s website currently hosts a form enabling people to easily contact their Democratic senators by phone, complete with a script of what to say.

The group’s non-tax-deductible entity, Indivisible Project, has received a total of $7.6 million in grants from the Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) over the past eight years, according to Indivisible’s website. OSF is a grantmaking network which left-wing billionaire George Soros founded in 1993 and his son, Alexander Soros, currently chairs.

“Federal government funding runs out on September 30 — and Republicans need Democratic votes to clear the filibuster and avoid a government shutdown,” Indivisible’s form states. “Democrats have a strong hand to play. They must use it to deny Donald Trump the blank check Republicans want to hand him!”

The government will shut down if Congress does not pass a continuing resolution (CR) to fund it by the end of Tuesday. Senate Democrats led by embattled Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have thus far refused to support Republican-passed CRs that do not include a litany of left-wing policy proposals.

“But in the last big funding fight, Chuck Schumer and a handful of other Dems surrendered—rolling over and letting Trump weaponize federal funds to rob our services, militarize our cities, and terrorize our communities,” the left wing group’s form continues. “That cannot happen again.”

Schumer notably worked with Republicans to pass a spending bill to fund the government in March.

Indivisible’s form further tells constituents to remind Democratic senators “we cannot hand blank checks to a wannabe king,” referring to Trump. It further tells voters to ask their Senators “to keep publicly pressuring  Schumer to FIGHT LIKE HELL!”

After Schumer and nine other members of the Senate Democratic Caucus voted with Republicans to break the filibuster on the March spending bill, Indivisible publicly called for Schumer to step down as the caucus’ leader and even put together an event where people wrote retirement cards addressed to him.

Right after Schumer’s March decision to work with Republicans to keep the government open, Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on the record blasting him, fueling speculation she may challenge him in New York’s 2028 Senate election. A late March poll by left-leaning firm Data for Progress showed Ocasio-Cortez leading the longtime incumbent by nearly 20 points in a hypothetical matchup.

The House on Sept. 19 passed a GOP-backed clean CR to fund the government through Nov. 21 — with the support of only one Democrat. However, it fell well short of the 60 required votes to bypass a filibuster in the Senate on the same day.

Meanwhile, the Senate rejected a Schumer-backed counter-proposal along party lines, also on Sept. 19. This Democratic-backed CR would have reversed about $1 trillion in cost savings of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA), nixed language preventing illegal immigrants from receiving healthcare subsidies and undid the OBBA’s new Medicaid work requirements.

“Senate Democrats must reject the Soros-funded pressure from the radical left and pass the clean CR,” a White House official told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “More than one trillion dollars in new spending, taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens, half a billion dollars for left-wing media, and the elimination of the rural health care fund are all nonstarters – completely out of touch with what the American people want and deserve from their government.”

“If Democrats cave to their extremist base, they will own this shutdown and put law enforcement at risk, cut WIC [Women, Infants, and Children] benefits for mothers and children, and threaten health care for seniors,” the official added.

Trump is reportedly planning to meet with Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Monday, one day before the partial shutdown deadline.

Indivisible did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Diabolical George Soros Ties to Russia Collusion Hoax Exposed in Explosive Declassified Annex of Durham Report

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Credible foreign sources suggesting that the FBI and the Obama administration would be involved in promoting the false Trump-Russia narrative, before the FBI even opened its investigation, were reportedly connected to George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, according to a bombshell document declassified Thursday morning.

Why hasn’t domestic enemy Soros’s citizenship been revoked? Why is this hostile foreign actor still allowed to undermine and sabotage our system of governance and law and order? He is, in some form, behind every action designed to destroy this country.

More on Soros filthy dealings here….

The Classified Appendix to Special Counsel John Durham’s report has been released.

You can view it here.

To briefly summarize, the Classified Appendix provided further information about the matters covered in parts of Durham’s report – specifically, those relating to Hillary Clinton’s plan to link Trump and Russia; the threat of foreign influence by a foreign government; and the Carter Page FISA application renewals.

But the most material information covers the Clinton Plan, and provides further details on how that plan started, efforts by Clinton and her team to influence officials within the Obama Administration, and how the Clinton Campaign would use Crowdstrike to further their theory that the Russians hacked and leaked information from the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).

The Clinton Plan Origins

Some context is needed to understand how the Obama Administration discovered the Clinton Plan back in July of 2016. And the Classified Appendix supplies just that.

From 2014 to 2016, persons affiliated with Russian intelligence hacked and gained access to the emails of numerous US public and private entities, including government agencies, non-profits, and think tanks. This included the Open Society Foundations, formerly known as the Soros Foundation.

Sources provided the U.S. with intelligence concerning these hacks and access, including emails and Russian reports analyzing the hacked communications. Some of the emails originated from Leonard Benardo (remember that name), who was the Regional Director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations (Soros).

One of the Russian reports obtained by the FBI concerned a discussion of confidential discussions with Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz concerning the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal, and included the following intelligence:…(Technofog)

Declassified Durham Annex Released by Chairman Grassley: Soros’ Ties

Soros’ alleged ties to Russiagate exposed in declassified annex of Durham report

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel and AG Pam Bondi coordinated in the declassification of the annex Grassley made public

By Brooke Singman, Fox News, July 31, 2025:

The credible foreign sources indicating the FBI and the Obama administration would play a role in spreading the salacious Trump–Russia narrative — before the bureau ever launched its probe — were allegedly tied to George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, according to an explosive document declassified Thursday morning.

The appendix to former Special Counsel John Durham’s report released by the Senate Judiciary Committee sheds stunning light on what Chairman Chuck Grassley describes as “one of the biggest political scandals and cover-ups in American history.”

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi worked in coordination to declassify the information.

FBI’S CONTROVERSIAL TRUMP-RUSSIA ACTIONS PREDICTED WITH ‘ALARMING SPECIFICITY’ BY FOREIGN ACTORS: SOURCES

Before its official release, sources exclusively briefed Fox News Digital on some of the contents of the appendix— including that the U.S. intelligence community had credible foreign sources indicating that the FBI would play a role in spreading the salacious Trump–Russia collusion narrative — before the bureau ever launched its controversial Crossfire Hurricane probe.
George Soros and Hillary Clinton

A source familiar with the contents of the classified appendix told Fox News Digital that while it may not have been exactly clear in the moment what the intelligence collection meant, with the benefit of hindsight, it predicted the FBI’s next move “with alarming specificity.”

The appendix reveals that the foreign sources were allegedly tied to George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

The appendix said that Russian government actors in 2016 reportedly hacked emails from the Open Society Foundations, formerly known as the Soros Foundation.

“Two of the apparently hacked emails appear to have originated from the Open Society Foundations,” the appendix states, noting that the purported author of these emails was Leonard Bernardo, who was the regional director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations.

“During the first stage of the campaign, due to lack of direct evidence, it was decided to disseminate the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated…technical structures… in particular, the Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect companies, from where the information would then be disseminated through leading U.S. publications,” Bernardo reportedly wrote in an email, per the appendix.

Nazi-Collaborator George Soros Funneled $37 Million to Jihad Communist Zohran Mamdani

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Why is this hostile foreign actor still allowed to undermine and sabotage our system of governance and law and order?

The ruin of this great nation is a long term project for Nazi collaborator George Soros, who described his work confiscating property from the Jews as “the happiest days of my life.” In a CBS 60 Minustes interview, George Soros reflected on his time collaborating with the Nazis, “”for me, it was a very positive experience,” “it was a very happy making, exhilarating experience,”  “for me it was a very positive experience.”

Soros means to finish the job his Nazi pals couldn’t.

“The Soros agenda is one of death and destruction in the name of open borders and ending Western Civilization,” warned Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project at the Conservative Heritage Foundation

One NYP commenter pointed out: “As galling as this is, to add injury to insult, Soros’ organizations are considered tax free charitable organizations. That’s like giving a charity designation to the mafia and drug cartels. But considering much of that money goes straight into the pockets of democrat politicians it is not hard to understand the selling out of their souls to this kind of evil.”

George Soros funneled $37M to Working Families Party, other lefty groups backing Zohran Mamdani

By Rich Calder, NU Post, July 12, 2025:

That’s rich.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani has declared billionaires shouldn’t exist, but it’s unlikely he’d be the front-runner to become the Big Apple’s next mayor if it wasn’t for one — far-left kingmaker George Soros, financial records reviewed by The Post show.

Mamdani recently told NBC News’ “Meet the Press, “I don’t think that we should have billionaires, frankly” while doubling down on his plan to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” if elected mayor.

George Soros’ Open Society Foundation has indirectly funneled over $37M combined to the Working Families Party and other left-wing groups who helped Zohran Mamdani win NYC’s Democratic mayoral primary. Michael Nigro

But in less than a decade, Soros’ ultra-woke grant-making network Open Society Foundation has indirectly funneled a combined $37 million to the Working Families Party and at least other nine left-wing groups whose endorsements and get-out-the-vote groundwork played a pivotal role in helping Mamdani upset ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary, the foundation’s records show.

Since 2016, the far-left, socialist-friendly WFP — which helped score Mandani the Democratic line by brokering cross-endorsement deals that squeezed out Cuomo — has pocketed a staggering $23.7 million from Soros through its nonprofit fundraising arm Working Families Organization Inc.

And at least another $13,944,005 went to the nine nonprofits and their offshoot fundraising entities — including the Make The Road Action ($3,515,00), and social justice nonprofits Community Voices Heard ($2,635,000) and Move On ($2.3 million), and the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace Acton ($650,000), according to records.

All those groups backed the Queens assemblyman’s mayoral campaign – as well as his Marxist agenda that includes advocating for criminal migrants and condemning Israel.

“While Zohran Mamdani attacks job creators and rails against wealth, the truth is he’s benefiting from millions in support from billionaires and the very nonprofit network he pretends to stand apart from,” Mayor Eric Adams told The Post.

“You can’t have it both ways. We need leadership that brings people together — not politicians who demonize success while quietly cashing in on it,” added Adams, a registered Democrat seeking re-election as an independent.

The mayor touted he’s a great example of the “American Dream,” considering he was born into poverty 64 years ago in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and now runs the “greatest city in the world.”

“The idea that billionaires or successful people shouldn’t exist isn’t just extreme — it’s un-American,” Hizzoner added.

Douglas Kellogg, state projects director for the conservative anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform, said no one should be surprised Soros’ money is quietly driving Mamdani’s campaign.

The Working Families Party tapped Mamdani as its favored candidate in the mayoral race. LP Media

“George Soros is like a comic-book villain, James Bond villain who’s funding a movement designed to undermine individual freedom and liberty across the globe,” said Kellogg.

“And he’s been doing it for years, and he’s continues to do it and finds new effective faces to put in front on it. If communism and socialism was popular, he wouldn’t have to spend so much money and take so much time to try to achieve it.”

Kellogg also said he believes there will be a mass Big Apple exodus of “productive, law-abiding citizens who make New York great” if Mamdani is mayor, “so the taxpayers and businesses have a lot to lose.”

Nazi Collaborator George Soros Received $260 MILLION from USAID

WATCH: USAID Funded Soros Operations!

Before it was shuttered, USAID routed funds to Soros-aligned causes, terrorists and drag queens

The development agency for years also funneled money to several nonprofit groups that also received substantial backing from components of George Soros’ empire.

By Steven Richards, Just The News, February 5, 2025 10:50pm

Before the Trump administration closed USAID’s doors, the agency regularly routed funding to causes aligned with George Soros’ nonprofit empire, terrorists and drag queens.

The agency came under scrutiny from the new administration over failures to ensure transparency in its funding to organizations across the globe and concerns that the leadership was not responding to explicit policy directives from the State Department and the wider executive branch to align its programs with Trump policies and the U.S. national interest.

In recent days, the Trump administration identified USAID programs ranging from contraceptives for Afghanistan to LGBT diversity programs for European countries as clear evidence that foreign aid needed to be paused and reevaluated, a task that fell to the Rubio State Department.

The development agency for years also funneled money to several nonprofit groups that also received substantial backing from components of George Soros’ empire. Some previously came under scrutiny during the Obama administration for “democracy promotion” and judicial reform efforts in European countries that critics claimed promoted leftist politics.

For example, U.S. government spending records show that the East-West Management Institute, which is in part backed by Soros’ Open Society Foundations, received more than $260 million over the years in grants from USAID to, among other things, promote the rule of law in Georgia, strengthen civil society in Uganda, and advance Serbia’s accession talks with the European Union.

That same nonprofit group came under scrutiny during the Obama administration after Judicial Watch uncovered government records and communications showing that the East-West Management Institute’s “Justice for All” campaign in Albania received $9 million in funding from USAID.

The assistance concerned several GOP Senators, who sent a letter to the newly appointed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in 2017, alleging the campaign funded by the U.S. government helped craft an Albanian judicial reform proposal that may “give the Prime Minister and left-of-center government full control over the judiciary.”

Those same Senators also raised concerns about a similar Soros-backed program in neighboring Macedonia where they said a local affiliate called Foundation Open Society-Macedonia received backing from USAID through the Open Society Foundations and pushed “a progressive agenda.”

Other Soros-backed organizations that received funding from both his Open Society Foundations network and USAID include the Anti-Corruption Action Center in Ukraine and Transparency International.

According to the group’s own records, the Anti-Corruption Action Center began receiving funding from USAID the same year the Maidan Revolution overthrew Ukraine’s elected, Russian-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych. The group, by its own admission, was heavily critical of Yanukovych’s government and ministers, which aligned with U.S. State Department policy at the time. During the 2014 Maidan Revolution, then-Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland visited Ukraine and was recorded on a leaked phone call discussing how the United States could influence the formation of a new government in Kyiv.

George Soros’ Open Society Foundations did not respond to a request for comment.

After temporarily shutting down USAID operation, the Trump administration defended the move, citing other left-wing causes that received funding grants from the agency. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt highlighted several when speaking with reporters on Monday, including $1.5 million for diversity measures in Serbia, $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru, and $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland.

House Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., also flagged other examples of USAID funding, including $15 million for condoms sent to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and over $3 million for “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean.”

The government watchdog overseeing the agency also warned USAID’s leadership in a stinging January memo that it had created serious “vulnerabilities” by doling out billions of tax dollars to overseas countries and groups without fulling vetting for terrorists. That inspector general’s report also determined that USAID grants were being insufficiently monitored.

George Soros-owned radio station doxes undercover ICE agents operating in San Jose, California

By: Katie Daviscourt, The Post Millenial, Jan 30, 2025:

The incident occurred on January 26 when KCBS 740 AM radio host Bret Burkhart described the unmarked vehicles being used by ICE and the exact locations where ICE agents had been operating.

A radio station owned by George Soros reported the live locations of undercover Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in San Jose, California, an area known for violent gang activity. The incident occurred on January 26 when KCBS 740 AM radio host Bret Burkhart described the unmarked vehicles being used by ICE and the exact locations where ICE agents had been operating, according to Newsbusters.

Burkhart was relaying information posted to social media by the Rapid Response Network, a leftist group that fights deportation initiatives. NewsNation confirmed on January 27 that ICE was conducting operations in the area at the time, meaning the host potentially blew the agents’ cover and put them in danger.

“Here’s what’s happening,” Burkhart said. “San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and head councilmember Peter Ortiz confirmed today that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are currently carrying out an operation on the east side of town. The Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network, which is a community defense projecting system for immigrant communities against deportation threats, first reported the activity on its platforms.”

“The county response network said agents in San Jose were in unmarked vehicles, including a black [omitted], a gray [omitted], and a white [omitted]. ICE agents were also reported outside a residence on South [omitted] roads, and officers were reportedly at the target on [omitted],” he continued. “Stay with KCBS, we will be tracking it for you.”

This comes as federal authorities are currently carrying out mass deportation operations across the United States at the direction of President Trump, targeting violent illegal immigrants convicted and/or charged with serious crimes, including murder, child rape, and assault with deadly weapons.

Biden Awards Presidential Medal of Freedom to Nazi Collaborator

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

“It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god.” — George Soros

Congratulations to Hillary Clinton, Jose Andres, and Bill Nye who managed to not be the worst person that Biden decided to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to.

That honor goes to George Soros.

This Soros. “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.”

And this one. “America and Israel must open the door to Hamas”

As well as, “I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me into trouble. But when I had made my way in the world, I wanted to indulge my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.”

And also, “It’s just like in the markets — that if I weren’t there — of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would,” Soros on helping confiscate Jewish property during the Holocaust.”

Finally, there’s the minor matter of Soros being found guilty of insider trading in France.

But Soros does fund the Democrat Party and that matters more than his organizations causing the deaths of countless people by enabling criminals, terrorists and other monsters.

Sadly, Soros could not make the trip to the White House in person because, reportedly he is unable to cross running water. Instead, his son Alex, who sticks to the people he bought in the party like glue, took it on his behalf to stick it on a back shelf somewhere along with the Democratic Party and the Soros network issued a statement claiming that “as an immigrant who found freedom and prosperity in America, I am deeply moved by this honor.”

Actually, Soros came here through immigration fraud.

Our reader TL sent us a link to the video below by Stand Point stating, “This is an interesting item about Soros’s attempt at destroying America. Soros has been trying this for years and apparently Musk is tired of it.”

Stand Point reports,

This isn’t just another billionaire rivalry; according to Victor, it’s a showdown that cuts right to the heart of global politics.

Musk, one of the most influential voices on the planet, is taking a strong stand against Soros, accusing him of nothing less than undermining America and twisting the global system to his own liking.

And here’s the thing — Victor revealed some of the shocking truths Elon Musk sees in Soros, truths that’ll make you question everything going on behind the scenes.

This whole thing didn’t start yesterday; the feud’s been building for years. But Victor says the real drama ignited when Elon set his sights on buying Twitter.

Soros’ new plan for election interference

/in , , , , , , , , /by

At 93, George Soros remains hard at work, engaging in ongoing stealthy efforts to “fundamentally transform” America into a Marxist hellhole where We the People will “own nothing and be happy.”

His latest? An audacious attempt at a quick and dirty takeover of “Audacy”—the second largest radio network in our nation.

Here’s the New York Post’s headline:

Dem-majority FCC helping George Soros fast-track takeover of nationwide radio network: ‘This is scary’

Instead of playing by the FCC’s rules, which state if foreign funding sources used in a purchase exceed 25%, they must be vetted first. Well, Soros’ Management Fund, admittedly using substantially more than 25% from who-knows-what foreign sources, demands to be greenlighted now—promising they’ll supply the required information “sometime down the road.”

Right. My guess is around Thanksgiving, i.e. after the election.

More from the Post:

Soros’s stake is equal to about 40% of the company’s senior debt — a massive chunk which, although not a majority, could yield effective control of the media giant when it emerges from bankruptcy.

The timing of the deal, just months before the 2024 presidential election, has raised eyebrows.

One insider, noting he is a Republican, said he felt it possible Soros was buying the stake to exert influence on public opinion in leading up to the election.

Duh!

What are some of the shows likely to be axed if Mr. Soros gets his way in his latest nefarious venture?

Conservative shows with hosts including: Sean Hannity, Dana Loesch, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and Erick Erickson!

Undoubtedly music to the ears of Dems and assorted NeverTrumpers.

Kudos to Congressional watchdog Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) for raising the alarm over Soros’ stunt!

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, one of two Republicans on the Commission, says: “The FCC should not create a special Soros shortcut.”

But keep in mind, under O’Biden’s administration, the Dems now have a 3-to-2 majority on the FCC, so this will likely be a battle.

We need to make our voices heard!

And the question needn’t only be “Why should the FCC’s rules be waived for Soros?” but also: “Why is this treasonous billionaire Leftist meddler still at large, and why would our government allow him to take over a lion’s share of our radio waves?”

See the New York Post article here, and Chip Roy’s letter to the FCC here!

On Israel, Soros Funds the Protests and the Protested

/in , , , , , , , /by

What’s the real difference between Biden and Hamas supporters?

Outside the mob of Hamas supporters were chanting “Genocide Joe” while inside Joe Biden was trying to raise more money.

Yet the terrorist supporters and the president both shared a funding source.

The Soros clan has been accused of providing an estimated $15 million to the pro-terrorist groups storming cities in support of Hamas, and an estimated $758,000 already to Biden.

Both of those are only partial estimates of much larger spending by the family of radical billionaires which have simultaneously been funding the anti-Israel movement, trojan horse Jewish groups and the Democratic Party politicians whom they are busy pressuring.

No accounting of Sen. Schumer’s infamous speech attacking Israel can overlook the fact that Alex Soros, the son of the elderly former Nazi collaborator who has defended Hamas, has met at least nine times with Sen. Schumer and called him “his good friend”. The younger Soros has continued meeting with Senate Dem candidates on whose victory Schumer’s Senate Majority Leader role depends.

The outside game of pressure campaigns, street blockades and violent attacks in the streets may get more attention, but is subsidiary to the inside game mastered by the Soros family.

$60 million has been pumped from the Soros network into its own Democracy PAC to help Democrats win. Millions from that PAC have gone to the Democratic Party’s Senate Majority PAC and House Majority PAC. And so when the Soros clan speaks, top House and Senate Democrats like Sen. Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries listen closely and then take action.

George Soros was always known as a savvy investor, but his son Alex has been even savvier as a political investor, building a spectrum of political funds that are not only vital to the election prospects of the Democrats, but that also cover an array of anti-Israel groups with different brands and tactics.

The Soros fortune extends to funding Linda Sarsour’s Arab American Association which took part in a rally celebrating the Oct 7 attacks where the pro-Hamas mob attacked police officers, Jewish Voice for Peace, a fake Jewish group which has blocked traffic to stop Israel from attacking the terrorists, J Street, which falsely claims to be “Pro-Israel” and “Pro-Peace”, but has actually lobbied against Israel’s fight against terrorists, and Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, a vanity group co-founded by Alex Soros, which tries to provide Jewish cover for members of the antisemitic ‘Squad’ while accusing their Jewish critics of “weaponizing antisemitism”.

Meanwhile, in Israel, Al-Haq, a Soros funded Muslim group tied to terrorists, had described Oct 7 as a case of “Palestinian armed groups engaged in an operation in response to escalating Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people” while the International Crisis Group has become so entangled with Iran that its members have been described as agents of the regime.

Viewed separately, JVP, J Street, Al-Haq, the Arab American Association, the Crisis Group and many others appear to represent different views, but actually represent different fronts in the war on Jews. While the groups may appear different, they follow the usual Soros tactic of networking smaller groups together into larger ones to create not just organizations, but a movement.

Soros money funds Muslims, leftists and people of Jewish ancestry who support killing Jews under a variety of banners and names, but they share the traditional hateful Soros agenda.

What Sen. Schumer or J Street believe about Hamas, may be less relevant than what George Soros thinks about Hamas. And what does Soros think about the Islamic terrorist group?

“America and Israel must open the door to Hamas,” Soros had once urged in an editorial. “Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah can be treated merely as targets in the war on terror because both have deep roots in their societies,” he argued in yet another editorial. “AIPAC must bear its share of responsibility for aiding and abetting policies such as Israel’s heavy-handed response to Hezbollah last summer and its insistence on treating Hamas only as a terrorist organization.”

Following the money is always a good idea and the profound shift made by many Democrats and liberal organizations from supporting Israel after Oct 7 to opposing it can be seen as a reflection of the agenda of their funder. Soros-funded groups quickly rallied after Oct 7 to undermine support for the Jewish State using everything from street violence to fake claims of Islamophobia and atrocities. But the invisible inside game is no less real even if it leaves behind no fingerprints. There is no way to know what happened behind the scenes at some organizations where the reversals were fast enough to make heads spin.

On Oct 9, J Street had issued a statement denouncing the attacks and stating that “we stand in solidarity with the Israeli people and with the Israeli armed forces that have been battling desperately to protect them. Two days later, J Street was back on track, condemning the “occupation of Palestinian Territory” and ten days later was labeling Israel’s campaign to stop Hamas as an “escalation.” What happened behind the scenes at the leftist group?

What we do know is that Alex Soros has continued his father’s tradition of elemental hostility toward the Jewish State.

On August 7th, months before the Hamas attacks, Alex Soros co-signed a letter falsely accusing the “current Israeli government” of a “campaign is so severe and so consequential that it merits a proportionate reaction by Israel’s chief ally, the United States of America” such as voting against Israel at the UN and other ways of undermining the Jewish State.

Despite the attacks of Oct 7, all 7 of the demands for actions against Israel were either enacted, moved forward or otherwise entered consideration by the Biden administration.

While the pro-Hamas mobs may condemn the Biden administration, both ‘Genocide Joe’ and the Hamas supporters share a common anti-Israel agenda and a common funding source.

The difference between the inside and the outside game, lies in the facades. What’s the real difference between Biden and Hamas supporters? Appearance. The combination of internal and external pressures, mob violence and massive checks, is a campaign of total warfare against Israel that is designed to appear as if it were coming from many diverse voices.

But behind many of the facades lies one agenda.

Explaining “Everything Leftism”

/in , , , , , , , , /by

It’s a simple question: How can “Queers for Palestine,” the slogan on protest signs of pro-Palestinian (or anti-anti-Hamas) protesters, be a thing? (Homosexuality is stigmatized and criminalized in the Palestinian territories, while in Israel it is legal, and in secular spaces not stigmatized. As a practical matter, one would much rather be queer in Tel Aviv than Khan Yunis.)

To answer the question, one must consider the operating ideology of left-wing activism, which for lack of a better term might be called “Everything Leftism.”

An Ideology and a Structure

Everything Leftism operates on two levels, as an ideology and as an institutional structure. As an ideology, it is a corruption of or derivative from intersectionality. As intersectionality views all oppressed identities as linked in compounding dimensions, Everything Leftism views all left-of-center issues as linked in compounding dimensions.

Thus, for the Everything Leftist all issues are mutually dependent. In this view, the interests of 2SLGBTQI+ people in the United States depend on Palestinian sovereignty, which depends on radical decarbonization of the economy, which depends on widespread access to taxpayer-funded abortion, which depends on de facto open borders, which depends on every other issue in the progressive playbook.

As an institutional structure, Everything Leftism operationalizes this ideology in the philanthropic and governmental spaces. Charitable organizations and advocacy groups seeking support from left-wing institutional Big Philanthropy will be pressured to align with Everything Leftism not only on any single issue but on all issues, or at least to silence themselves on issues on which they do not align. Meanwhile, where and when administrations aligned with Big Philanthropy hold power, they will use their discretion in government grantmaking, regulatory policy, and prosecutorial decision making to carry out the tenets of Everything Leftism. The Biden administration has announced and carried out a series of “whole of government” schemes related to Everything Leftism, most notably regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and climate change.

Everything Leftism in Practice

Everything Leftism is much easier to see than to define. Groups associated with left-of-center causes sometimes just “tweet it out,” with graphics in the typical corporate-liberal pastel-style demonstrating how all issues are mutually dependent.

Consider the following image from the Drug Policy Alliance, a drug legalization group tied to George Soros and funded by him and numerous other prominent liberal institutional funders:

Sometimes the issue lists of supposedly single-issue groups show the depths of Everything Leftism. The Sunrise Movement is ostensibly a campaign group for an immediate severe cut in carbon emissions to stop the supposed “climate crisis.” But its list of “our demands” includes “union jobs for all,” “abolish the police,” and “ensuring that indigenous communities are well resourced and safe.” Sunrise Movement claims that these Everything Leftist positions are inherent to its environmental mission, but in reality they are extraneous.

In the labor-union space, this is why the United Auto Workers (UAW), driven to strike in part due to the consequences of the shift to electric vehicle production driven by the American and international governments’ war on cars, supports the “just transition” away from conventional fuels. Labor unions in many ways pioneered Everything Leftism with “social justice unionism.” After John Sweeney, a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member aligned with government-worker unions and unionism’s radical Left, replaced the George Meany-Lane Kirkland center-left Truman-LBJ regime at the AFL-CIO in the 1990s, they turned their dues-funded treasuries into general-purpose piggy banks for left-wing economic and social movements.

In a sense, the Everything Leftist intersectional politics of the DSA replaced the old industrial-class politics of Meany, Kirkland, and their turn-of-the-20th-century predecessor Samuel Gompers. Those industrial-class politics may have been left-of-center—they gave America the capital-P Progressive Movement, the New Deal, and the Great Society, which all had many political-economic problems. But they were also patriotic and recognizably American in their liberalism, as evidenced by Gompers’s resistance to European socialisms of his day and the Meany-Kirkland regime’s work against international Communism during the Cold War. But in the new post-Sweeney era, Big Labor has joined the Everything Leftists, backing causes further left than the liberalism of the Biden administration, and so the UAW demands Israel not defeat Hamas in battle.

Concluding Thoughts

Once the concept of Everything Leftism is introduced, it is easy to find examples. Blaming school choice on “racism, homophobia, and xenophobia”? Everything Leftism. Calling everything “x justice” – “racial justice,” “environmental justice,” “economic justice,” “algorithmic justice”? Everything Leftism. California offering government-funded sex changes to illegal immigrants? Everything Leftism.

Knowledge of Everything Leftism, like knowledge of the related social justice unionism, should teach that there is no prospect of long-term alignment with the Left for moderate concession on a single issue. For a real-world example, ask the Republican and conservative groups that allied with liberals for moderate relaxation of criminal justice policies whether they expected their erstwhile partners to jump headlong into defunding police and de facto legalizing mass criminality in the name of “racial justice.”

But the Permanent Revolution is the demand of the Everything Leftist, so the move to abolish the police was inevitable. That was the ultimate objective for many of the left-wing groups, and it was published in the New York Times as such.

So to answer the opening question, how can “Queers for Palestine” be a thing? Everything Leftists saw an opportunity to combine two or more supposedly oppressed identities into a novel intersectional combination and took it. This happens often and across issues.

Let any conservative seeking to work with (or worse, appease) a left-wing faction beware.

Meet The Donors Funding The Shadow Campaign To Stop Trump’s Second Term Before It Even Begins

/in , , , , , , , /by

Groups bankrolled by major left-of-center charitable foundations are reportedly preparing to obstruct a potential second Trump administration.

Organizations including Protect Democracy, the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP) at Georgetown University and Democracy Forward, are part of a loose alliance preparing legal action to block Trump from taking certain executive actions if he takes office, according to NBC News. These organizations are backed by influential liberal institutions, like George Soros’ philanthropic empire, a Daily Caller News Foundation review found.

The organizations fear that Trump may use the armed forces to act undemocratically if elected, according to NBC News. To address this, they seek to limit his potential influence over the executive branch.

“We are preparing for litigation and preparing to use every tool in the toolbox that our democracy provides to provide the American people an ability to fight back,” Skye Perryman, president of Democracy Forward, told NBC News.

The details shared with the press regarding the groups’ plans were vague, only mentioning preparation for litigation, drafting letters to influence possible Trump appointees and conducting research on what a second Trump term may look like. The coalition wants to “challenge Trump from day one,” according to NBC News.

The outlet reports that alliance members are “studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions so that they will be ready if he wins in November,” adding that some “participants are combing through policy papers being crafted for a future conservative administration” and “watching the interviews that Trump allies are giving to the press for clues.”

Protect Democracy, ICAP and Democracy Forward are all bankrolled by left-wing megadonors.

Philanthropies tied to George Soros, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and other left-wing megadonors have poured millions into Protect Democracy since 2017.

Protect Democracy refers to the joint efforts between the 501(c)(3) Protect Democracy Project and the 501(c)(4) group United to Protect Democracy, according to the organization’s website.

501(c)(3) organizations can engage in advocacy and education, but are limited in how much they can directly spend on political activities. 501(c)(4)s, meanwhile, have greater license to engage in explicitly political activism.

Soros’ Foundation to Promote Open Society gave $650,000 to the Protect Democracy Project between 2018 and 2021, according to a grant database. Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, meanwhile, gave over $1 million to United to Protect Democracy between 2017 and 2020.

United to Protect Democracy and the Protect Democracy Project also received funding from Omidyar’s philanthropic network.

Omidyar is a primary funder and founder of Democracy Fund, a nonprofit that provides financial backing for various left-of-center causes, according to tax forms. He has also funded past efforts to fight Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter and to oppose Trump.

The Protect Democracy Project has received $3.8 million from Democracy Fund since 2017, tax documents show.

Democracy Fund Voice, a 501(c)(4) organization founded and funded entirely by Omidyar, gave United to Protect Democracy roughly $1.3 million between 2017 and 2022.

Similarly, the John Pritzker Family Fund gave the Protect Democracy Project $700,000 between 2019 and 2022.

John Pritzker is the chairman of the John Pritzker Family Fund.  The Pritzker family is one of the nation’s wealthiest and deeply connected to the world of liberal politics.

John’s cousin, J.B. Pritzker, serves as the Democratic governor of Illinois while another one of his cousins, Penny Pritzker, has held high-ranking posts in both the Obama and Biden administrations.

Mark Heising and Elizabeth Simons, who are married, have donated nearly $10 million to Democrats since 2022, campaign finance records show. Their philanthropy, the Heising-Simons Foundation, poured $500,000 into the Protect Democracy Project in 2022, according to tax documents.

Simons serves as the chair of the foundation’s board and Heising as a vice chair.

Democracy Forward, like Protect Democracy, has both a 501(c)(3) and a 501(c)(4) organization under its umbrella. The two organizations share a website and a staff page.

Democracy Forward Foundation, the 501(c)(3), pulled in $200,000 from Omidyar’s Democracy Fund and $10,000 from Hopewell Fund in 2022, tax forms show. Omidyar provides almost all of Democracy Fund’s cash, according to tax forms.

One of Democracy Forward’s largest backers has been the Sandler Foundation.

The Sandler Foundation was established in 1991 by Herb and Marion Sandler, financial industry billionaires who contributed $1.3 billion to the philanthropy. Since then, tax forms show that the Sandler Foundation has given millions to groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Campaign Legal Center, which have consistently launched anti-Trump litigation.

The Democracy Forward Foundation received $11 million from the Sandler Foundation between 2018 and 2021, tax documents show.

Democracy Forward’s links to the left go beyond funding.

Marc Elias, one of America’s most prolific Democratic lawyers, and Ron Klain, President Joe Biden’s former chief of staff, both sit on Democracy Forward’s board, according to the organization’s website.

John Podesta, former Clinton administration chief of staff and chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, sat on the Democracy Forward Foundation’s board until at least June 2022, according to tax forms.

Some groups involved in the anti-Trump shadow campaign don’t disclose their donors.

The New Venture Fund and the Hopewell Fund, organizations within a dark money network managed by liberal consultancy Arabella Advisors, collectively gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Protect Democracy between 2020 and 2020, tax filings show.

There’s also a clear partisan tilt to this budding anti-Trump resistance. The chair of ICAP’s board, Mamoon Hamid, has donated nearly $50,000 to Democrats since 2017, according to FEC records. The institution’s vice chair, Stewart Butterfield, has given over $100,000 to Democrats since 2017, FEC records show.

Mary DeRosa, an Obama administration alumna and another ICAP board member, has given nearly $40,000 to Democrats since 2016, according to the FEC.

Leadership at United to Protect Democracy and Democracy Forward have also donated thousands to Democrats, FEC records show.

Ian Bassin, co-founder and executive director of United to Protect Democracy, donated more than $2,400 to Democrats and Democrat-aligned PACs between 2016 and 2023, according to FEC records. Bassin also served as associate White House counsel during the Obama administration.

ICAP’s leadership isn’t all Democrats, however; Mickey Edwards, who serves on the board, was a Republican member of Congress for 16 years, according to his Georgetown bio. Edwards left the Republican Party in 2021, however, saying it had become a “cult” under Trump, Business Insider reported.

“We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to,” ICAP’s executive director Mary McCord told NBC News.

Democracy Forward, ICAP and Protect Democracy didn’t respond to requests for comment.

DeSantis Breaks Silence On Potential Trump Indictment

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis broke his silence Monday about former President Donald Trump’s possible indictment.

Trump announced Saturday he expects to be arrested Tuesday by the Manhattan District Attorneys Office, which is led by Alvin Bragg. The potential indictment relates to a years-long investigation into whether Trump paid hush money to former porn star actress Stormy Daniels. Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, sent $130,000 to Daniels so she would not disclose her alleged affair. Cohen claims Trump then reimbursed him for the payments, with authorities investigating whether Trump forged business records to hide the alleged payout.

DeSantis broke his silence on the issue Monday.

“The Manhattan District Attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor and so he like, other Soros funded prosecutors, they weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety,” DeSantis said.

“He has downgraded over 50% of the felonies to misdemeanors, he says he doesn’t even want to have jail time for the vast majorities of crimes,” DeSantis said, adding he doesn’t know “what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence” but that “if you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction and he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments, that’s an example of pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office.” 

“I think that’s fundamentally wrong,” he continued, before again turning his attention to Soros’ involvement in helping elect liberal prosecutors.

“These Soros district attorneys are a menace to society,” he continued, adding he won’t be “getting involved” in the “political spectacle” and will be focusing on his own state.

Tide Turning on Woke Criminal Justice Cabal

/in , , , /by

Last month, San Francisco voters, fed up with high crime, ousted progressive prosecutor Chesa Boudin in a recall election.  The new DA has just cleaned house, firing 15 employees in a new emphasis on public safety.  She vowed to hold “serious and repeat offenders accountable.”  Put this together with the jurisdictions re-funding the police and walking back their no-cash bail policies, and it appears Woke criminal justice reform has passed its peak. Funny what happens when people get mugged by reality.

But there’s work left to do in many places.  West Hollywood is reducing the size of its sheriff’s department despite the fact crime is up 137 percent.  Chicago police are no longer allowed to chase people on foot.  A one-man crime wave was arrested five times in ten days in New York City, after being released without bail for a slashing and other crimes.  The New York subway stabber was released from jail the night before, having been given ‘time served’ for brandishing a knife at police.  In all, violent crime is way up in New York and other cities controlled by Democrats.

Cashless bail, not letting police do their job, or getting rid of police officers entirely – we already know how these stories end, and they don’t end well.   But hope springs eternal in the fantasyland of the mindless Left.

The stories will end just as badly in cities still stuck with progressive prosecutors.  Steve Descano’s office in Fairfax, Virginia sought a light sentence for a man charged with assault and battery.  The man went on to beat a 63-year-old woman to death at a bus stop. Next door in Loudon County, a judge removed the progressive prosecutor from a case for “deliberately misleading the Court and the public” in an attempt to ‘sell’ a plea deal.  In Philadelphia, progressive prosecutor Larry Krasner dropped charges against three Antifa members who beat two Hispanic men.  The progressive prosecutor in L.A., George Gascon, treated a 17-year-old repeat offender as a juvenile and asked the court to put him in a probation camp after the offender tried to kill a young mother and child, despite the fact the offender was on parole and violating the terms of his release at the time of the attack.

The puppet master behind all these progressive prosecutors is George Soros who has spent $40 million to elect 75 progressive prosecutors around the country.  The man evidently wants to sow chaos and is spending his fortune to do it. Twenty-eight of his puppets signed an open letter after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade saying they will defy state laws that limit abortion.    These lawless puppets want to play state legislature and decide what the laws should be, which is not their role.  This is chaos.  Before you say you kinda like the idea of not enforcing abortion laws, let’s change the facts:  How would you like it if 28 Trump prosecutors said they would not enforce climate emergency laws?

On the Left, the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution. Woke criminal justice reform isn’t just about evening the score for the supposedly downtrodden and oppressed.  It’s about creating chaos, to make society stink and push frustrated citizens into voting left-wing authoritarian governments into power to clean up the mess the authoritarians created in the first place.   But Woke criminal justice reform is on the decline and, now, two progressive prosecutors have gone down to ignominious defeat at the polls.  If the Left wants to create further chaos, they’re going to have to find another way to do it.
