Radical philanthropist George
Soros’s billionaire socialists club that wants to turn America into Greece
has formally entered the propaganda business. Soros, by the way, has openly
embraced Chinese Communism and has been lending moral and financial support
to glorifying left-wing terrorist attacks against the United States.
A Soros-led group, the secretive Democracy
Alliance, which is a donors’ collaborative that brokers funds for groups
that want to destroy America as we know it, has started up a new project called
New Media Ventures. (Democracy Alliance was created to fund a permanent
political infrastructure of nonprofit think tanks, media outlets, leadership
schools, and activist groups to compete with the conservative movement.)
This is its self-description from the “about” page on
the New Media Ventures website:
New Media Ventures is the first national network of early stage investors who
are investing their time and money into new, cutting edge, start-ups focused on
building progressive change. Members join to learn more about opportunities that
they couldn’t find anywhere else. It is a pilot project of the Democracy
Alliance, a partnership of changemakers committed to strengthening democracy by
investing in and fostering collaboration among progressive leaders and
institutions. Launched in 2005, the Democracy Alliance has emerged as one of the
largest drivers of progressive activist funding in the country.
New Media Ventures is directed by Christie George. The advisory board
consists of:
• John Johnson, Co-Founder, Buzzfeed.com
• Mike Mathieu, Founder,
FrontSeat.org
• Rob McKay, Democracy Alliance Board Chair
• James Rucker,
Co-Founder, Citizen Engagement Lab
• John Schwartz, Founder, Free Speech
TV
• Felicia Wong, Senior Vice President Investment Services, Democracy
Alliance
Ultimately, New Media Ventures aims to help investors support projects that
increase citizen engagement and participation, creating lasting social
change.
Ahem. I think radical agitators changemakers mean
socialist change.
James Rucker (pictured above), by the way, co-founded the vicious
race-baiting group Color
of Change with self-described “communist” and eco-charlatan Van
Jones. After more than a year the group has failed, despite vigorous
efforts, to get Glenn Beck dumped by Fox News — but they keep on trying.
But Color of Change did manage to get Andrew Breitbart booted from the
coveted front page of the Huffington Post gossip and girls-in-bikinis-photos
website in recent days. After Breitbart was invited to blog at the site –which
he actually helped to design years ago when Arianna Huffington’s brain chemistry
was a tad more stable– Color of Change attacked by urging its supporters to
deluge the HuffPo with complaints.
The group’s website
shrieked:
Notorious liar and race-baiter Andrew Breitbart poses as a journalist and
then uses his position to gin up race-based fears, protect racists, and demonize
Black political leaders and institutions. Now The Huffington Post has given him
a prime space on its platform to spew widely debunked lies. We reached out to
Arianna Huffington and other leaders at The Huffington Post to ask why they’d
give him cover. Their response? Silence.
The putsch push came after Breitbart (accurately) described
Color of Change in an interview with the Daily Caller.
“I believe that Van Jones, and Color of Change, and ACORN poison the black
community with propaganda that divides this country. Van Jones is a human toxin,
ACORN was a human toxin. These are poisonous, venomous forces within the
American experience,” Breitbart said. He added, “I will expose them like the
cockroaches that they are.” […]
“I have the exact opposite view on free speech that these left-wing freaks at
Color of Change have: More voices, not less,” Breitbart added. “They’re
totalitarians, and they don’t like that I call them for what they are:
totalitarians.” He said that the campaign organizers adhered to an ideology of
“free speech for me, not for thee.”
“Van Jones is a cop killer-supporting, racist, demagogic freak. And a commie.
And an eco-fraudster,” Breitbart said. A few kind words were volunteered for
Jones: praise for being “spectacularly well-dressed.”
Amazingly, Breitbart’s statements were controversial.
