George Soros’ Massively Failed Leftist Experiment
ANALYSIS – Will George Soros' son, and heir apparent, party boy Alex Soros, 38, make things better or worse?
We will all know soon enough as Alex takes charge of Soros' Open Society Foundation which has bankrolled myriad radical far-left policies in America and overseas.
Soros the father also turns 94 on August 12.
A Holocaust survivor and victim of Soviet-imposed communism in Hungary, now personally worth at least $7 billion, the senior Soros originally began his philanthropic efforts as a force for good, by helping Eastern Europeans resist Marxist-Leninist tyranny during the Cold War.
He also gave scholarships to black people in South Africa under apartheid and created Central European University to foster free exchange after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
In 1994, Soros said:
Freedom is like the air: People struggle for it only when they are deprived of it. When it is there, they ignore it. But, in another way, freedom is very different. If you do not care for it and do not protect it, it has a tendency to disappear.
As an apparent force for freedom against tyranny back then, I even considered working for the Open Society Foundation in the 1990s.
However, all these noble pursuits gradually ended as the Open Society Foundations has transformed into the sprawling $25 billion grantmaking network that disburses over $1 billion to left-wing causes. And its founder bankrolls the Democratic Party.
As a special report by the Washington Examiner notes that, today: “The Soros vision is one of unrelenting chaos.”
Scott Walter, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Capital Research Center think tank, and a former domestic policy aide in the George W. Bush White House, said Soros's outfit is “now closer to supporting tyranny than undermining it.”
“Now,” Walter noted, “he funds groups that defend Hamas's terrorism and otherwise threaten Jews.”
But those radical chaos-producing policies have now openly and dramatically failed, and even left-wing Democrats have had to shun them, and distance themselves from Soros.
The Examiner adds:
Soros helped install more than 70 prosecutors with no less than $40 million in funds. But many of them are getting ousted or leaving office amid a backlash against soft-on-crime policies. Soros's Open Society Foundations dumped money into a think tank driving the push for hard drug decriminalization. Yet Oregon Democrats rolled back a Soros-linked, pro-drug law as overdoses and homelessness spiraled out of control.
The report continues:New York Times columnist Charles Blow said the quiet part out loud in 2022: “Defund the police is dead,” conceding “not that it was ever wildly popular.” This came after Soros, as Joe Schoffstall reported that year, dropped tens of millions of dollars into the coffers of anti-police groups “used by progressive activists aiming to dismantle law enforcement, and even funding databases to track donations to police department foundations and unions.”
It's Groundhog Day for Soros. The man who “broke the Bank of England” has developed a rather remarkable ability to affix his name endlessly to organizations and figures producing a conveyor belt of baggage for Democrats. In the telling of one longtime liberal consultant at Soros-funded criminal justice groups, Open Society Foundations staffers are more focused on identity politics than “pragmatic and research-based approaches” to their work.
These DEI-hungry soldiers, key cogs in the machine ensuring things run according to the politically correct plan, have descended “into a reflexive, slogan-driven approach without substance or strategy, the consultant, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to their relationships at Open Society Foundations and other left-of-center philanthropies, told the Washington Examiner.
But its increasingly pro-terrorist efforts are also putting Soros in the crosshairs of American Jews.
The Alliance for Global Justice, the Examiner reported, the little-known charity in Arizona, shares ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terrorist faction.
And despite numerous major organizations, including a collection of payment processors, the Ford Foundation and $1 billion Arabella Advisors-managed New Venture Fund and Windward Fund, among other former backers, abandoning the Alliance, Soros has not.
But change may be on the horizon. But maybe not for the better.
Alex Soros told the Wall Street Journal, that he is “more political” than his father, who was the largest Democrat donor in 2022 thanks to him dropping $120 million in the midterm elections.
Completing his pact with the devil, Alex Soros is marrying Huma Abedin, “the wired political consultant whose ex-husband's sexting scandal blew up the 2016 presidential campaign of her old boss, Hillary Clinton.”
As the report notes: “Alex and Abedin — a lust for power amid national dysfunction. Perhaps the perfect match for the modern Democratic Party.”
