http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/21559-soros-provides-pressure-from-above-below Billionaire Big Government-partisan and Obama administration ally George Soros (shown) provided at least $33 million in a single year to radical leftist groups orchestrating protests and unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, and nationwide, according to an explosive investigation into filings of the globalist financier’s tax-exempt “Open Society” foundations. Dozens of Soros-funded outfits helped lobby the media, bus in AstroTurf protesters and “community organizers,” coordinate propaganda messaging, create an “echo chamber,” and more, the Washington Times revealed. In other words, Soros, a key globalist establishment figure, was helping to provide pressure from above, and pressure from below, in the war on local police. Based on the establishment media’s non-stop parroting of the Soros-funded propaganda, the relative success of the strategy was plain to see. Despite the recent uproar over Soros’ giant role in exploiting Ferguson and bankrolling nationwide anti-local police machinations, it is hardly the first time that Soros, a protégé of the Rothschild banking dynasty, has faced scrutiny over his pseudo-charitable activities. In fact, as The New American has documented extensively, varied efforts have benefited from the powerful hedge-fund boss’ largess, including the anti-market Occupy Wall Street “movement,” the Obama election campaign, and deadly revolutions overseas. In Ferguson and beyond, though, the influence of Soros’ billions was felt close to home by millions of Americans. “There’s a solitary man at the financial center of the Ferguson protest movement,” reported the Times’ Kelly Riddell, citing financial records and interviews with key players about the Soros role in fueling the manufactured chaos that engulfed Ferguson. “No, it’s not victim Michael Brown or Officer Darren Wilson. It’s not even the Rev. Al Sharpton, despite his ubiquitous campaign on TV and the streets. Rather, it’s liberal billionaire George Soros, who has built a business empire that dominates across the ocean in Europe while forging a political machine powered by nonprofit foundations that impacts American politics and policy.” According to the Times story, which garnered headlines worldwide, Soros’ organizations helped mobilize demonstrators and build up “coalitions” — oftentimes coalitions of his own AstroTurf outfits — to drum up hysteria. Some Soros groups developed dubious “academic research” and generated editorials that the establishment press was only too happy to promote and parrot. The Soros-funded organizations “fed off each other,” the Times reported, creating what the paper described as an “echo chamber” within social media and the mischaracterized “mainstream” press. Even some of the media outlets hyping the Soros-funded “grassroots” schemes are funded by Soros. Among the radical Soros organizations that descended on Ferguson and participated in the scheming were the Samuel Dewitt Proctor Conference in Chicago, the Drug Policy Alliance, Make the Road New York, Equal Justice USA, Sojourners, the Advancement Project, the Center for Community Change, and networks from the Gamaliel Foundation. “All were aimed at keeping the media’s attention on the city and to widen the scope of the incident to focus on interrelated causes — not just the overpolicing and racial discrimination narratives that were highlighted by the news media in August,” the Times reported about the activities of the collection of Soros-funded groups, including more than a few race hatemongers and pseudo-religious outfits with strong ties to the Obama administration. More than a few critics have referred to Soros’ operatives as “racist hate groups.” In one column lambasting admitted National Socialist (Nazi) collaborator Soros as “evil,” for example, the billionaire financier’s activities were described as “paying racist leftists to block roads and harass you.” Columnist Daniel Greenfield also suggested that Ferguson victims of Soros-linked rioting, looting, and violence ought to send the bill to the prominent hedge-fund boss. Ben Bullard at Personal Liberty Digest, meanwhile, noted that, by the end of the Times report, “‘echo chamber’ begins to seem an inadequate description for a coterie of groups that occupy such a claustrophobic ideological, organizational and financial space.” Still, despite Soros’ giant footprint in Ferguson, the widely criticized billionaire was not entirely alone in fomenting the unrest — his establishment allies and other powerful forces helped too. As our article "Are Local Police to Blame?" points out, the Ford Foundation, Tides Foundation, and other radical tax-exempt “philanthropies” have poured millions of dollars into the activist groups, encouraging the riots and discord.
