Soros Lieutenant Neier to Retire

Aryeh Neier, who has led George Soros’s network of philanthropies for 18 years, said he will retire as president of the Open Society Foundations in April next year when he turns 75. Neier was instrumental in turning Soros’s charitable organizations into formidable instruments for anti-Americanism and nihilistic destruction worldwide. “It will undoubtedly be a new era,” the Chronicle of Philanthropy quotes Soros saying. “We have had a very productive relationship: two different characters, two different types of people, each respecting the other and having a creative tension between us. This will be disrupted by his departure.” A successor has not … Continue reading Soros Lieutenant Neier to Retire

Richard Viguerie endorses Matthew Vadum’s Subversion Inc.

Richard Viguerie has endorsed my book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers (WND Books). Viguerie pioneered political direct mail and has been called “one of the creators of the modern conservative movement” (Nation magazine), one of the “conservatives of the century” (Washington Times), and one of 2008’s “top 25 influencers” among Republicans (NewsMax magazine). Here is Viguerie’s endorsement: Matthew Vadum’s book, Subversion Inc., rips the cover off the cover-up and tells how much of America’s Ruling Class (Barack Obama, George Soros, the Catholic church, Hollywood, the media, unions, etc., etc.) collaborated to … Continue reading Richard Viguerie endorses Matthew Vadum’s Subversion Inc.

Fox Video: Will Congress investigate ACORN?

I appeared on “Follow the Money,” (Fox Business) a few months ago to discuss whether the new GOP-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will investigate the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN, the radical left-wing advocacy group, is very much alive despite reports of its demise. Here is the video: ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. Buy the book at Amazon. Visit the Subversion Inc. Facebook page. Follow me on Twitter.

ACORN’s other White House ‘insider’ now heads DNC’s ‘Organizing for America’

From WND: President Obama isn’t the only longtime ACORN operative who has spent time in the White House, according to a newly published book. Obama White House political director Patrick Gaspard, who held the same title as Karl Rove in President Bush’s White House, also helped to execute ACORN’s 40-year plan to transform America into a socialist country, according to a stunning new book, “Subversion Inc.,” by award-winning investigative journalist Matthew Vadum. Vadum, senior editor at Capital Research Center, a think tank that studies left-wing advocacy groups and their funders, has assembled the information from nearly three years of research … Continue reading ACORN’s other White House ‘insider’ now heads DNC’s ‘Organizing for America’

Here is a video from the Heritage Foundation bloggers’ briefing this past May 17. I talked about my new book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers.

On food stamps? Buy a house! Vadum confronts ACORN spokesman over its role in the mortgage crisis

Here’s a video from Neil Cavuto’s show on Fox News in which I confront an ACORN spokesman. As I write in Subversion Inc., ACORN wasn’t solely responsible for the mortgage crisis but it played a significant role in it, pushing the awful Community Reinvestment Act which is essentially a financial affirmative action law. ACORN also intimidated banks into accepting food stamps as income on loan applications. The radical un-American group ACORN is very much alive despite reports of its demise. It is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the … Continue reading On food stamps? Buy a house!

Citizen Soros: Funding Anti-American Film (Part 3 of 3)

(Continued from Part 2) Recap: Radical funder George Soros’s $1 million gift to Media Matters, a left-wing character assassination machine, underwrites its campaign to stigmatize conservative ideas. For weeks Eric Boehlert of Media Matters attacked Glenn Beck because a disturbed viewer plotted to shoot up the offices of the left-wing Tides Foundation. The shooter, Byron Williams, failed, but in December when a fan of Media Matters, the late Florida school board shooter Clay Duke, wreaked havoc, Boehlert and Media Matters remained silent. Soros is also bankrolling a documentary that celebrates left-wing terrorists who plotted to napalm Republicans at the 2008 … Continue reading Citizen Soros: Funding Anti-American Film (Part 3 of 3)

A note on Michael J. Gaynor’s careless blog post

Fellow ACORN hunter Michael J. Gaynor, who like me was praised by Michelle Malkin for pursuing the ACORN story when it was being ignored, is certainly entitled to his opinion about my book Subversion Inc., but he is not entitled to his own set of facts. In a blog post Gaynor asserts that I failed to include in my book a story that the American voters need to know–the story of how Anita MonCrief, an ex-ACORN insider, became a confidential source for The New York Times in the summer of 2008, The Times killed an ACORN/Obama expose before Election Day 2008, Times … Continue reading A note on Michael J. Gaynor’s careless blog post

USS Cesar Chavez? Why not the USS Saul Alinsky?

Incredibly, the U.S. Navy has decided to name a cargo ship after the guy who came up with the Obama campaign slogan, “Yes, we can!” That man is the late labor agitator and community organizer Cesar Chavez. Chavez’s union, the United Farm Workers, used the saying he coined as its official motto. (In Spanish, “¡Sí se puede!”) The decision to name a Navy ship after this radical is remarkable not only because President Obama’s teleprompter has the phrase “Yes, we can!” burnt into it from the phrase’s overuse, but because the far-left leader was a disciple of communist sympathizer Saul … Continue reading USS Cesar Chavez? Why not the USS Saul Alinsky?

Citizen Soros: Suppressing Conservative Ideas (Part 2 of 3) by Matthew Vadum

(Continued from Part 1) Recap: Radical philanthropist George Soros gave $1 million to Media Matters for America, a well-funded slander shop that roots out “conservative misinformation.” It’s all part of his campaign to suppress conservative ideas that stand in the way of pushing America even farther to the left. The left has been hyperventilating about Beck ever since he moved from CNN to Fox News in early 2009 and quickly became the Obama administration’s most vociferous high-profile critic. In particular, liberals could not abide Beck righteously fulminating against the shadowy Tides Foundation, a pass-through entity that allows wealthy individuals to … Continue reading Citizen Soros: Suppressing Conservative Ideas (Part 2 of 3) by Matthew Vadum

Citizen Soros: Manipulating the Media (Part 1 of 3), by Matthew Vadum

He has conquered the world of finance and remains firmly on top of it. He writes bestselling books. He dominates leftist philanthropy. He co-founded the Democracy Alliance, an ultra-secretive billionaires’ club that wants to transform America into a European-style socialist state – or worse. He owns the Democratic Party. Now George Soros, who also fancies himself a philosopher, is positioning himself as a media magnate in order to continue his assault on America’s values and institutions. Like the protagonist in the classic Orson Welles movie Citizen Kane, Soros can never have enough power. But unlike Charles Foster Kane, the haughty, … Continue reading Citizen Soros: Manipulating the Media (Part 1 of 3), by Matthew Vadum

Surprise! Obama’s ACORN Thugs Are Alive And Preparing for 2012

A blog post I put in the American Spectator this morning: ACORN is far, far worse than everything you’ve heard. It celebrates and promotes the worst pathologies in society in an effort to kill the American experiment in self-governance. And the rumors of ACORN’s death have been greatly exaggerated. The radical group declared bankruptcy at the end of 2010, but its leaders acknowledge that they are building a new network of activist groups to continue ACORN’s work undermining America’s free institutions.  As predicted in my new book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, … Continue reading Surprise! Obama’s ACORN Thugs Are Alive And Preparing for 2012

Why Aren’t Community Organizers in Prison Where They Belong?: ‘Subversion Inc.’ Book Preview (Part 4 of 4)

A preview article from NewsReal blog. It reads: ACORN’s anti-democratic, un-American activities are not legitimate political advocacy protected by the First Amendment. They cry out for prosecution under federal racketeering laws. [The push for a racketeering probe got a boost in April 2011 when ACORN was convicted in a massive voter fraud conspiracy in Nevada. The felony conviction came after the book had gone to press. -MV] Former Chicago ACORN leader Madeline Talbott is a master of the bank shakedown.
