Occupy Wall Street Jumps the Shark

Matthew Vadum

From today’s Front Page Magazine: Occupy Wall Street Jumps the Shark By Matthew Vadum It hasn’t taken long for the socialist-organized “occupation” of Wall Street to jump the shark. In a surreal news conference at the United Nations, anti-American radical and rogue financier George Soros (net worth: $22 billion) threw in his lot with the thousands of Communists, anarchists, eco-feminists, malingerers, and professional protesters who have been baiting and taunting police in lower Manhattan as part of a mass demonstration that began September 17. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) also jumped on the anti-Wall Street bandwagon. In a move that ought … Continue reading Occupy Wall Street Jumps the Shark

Flashback: Soros-Funded Documentary Embraces Left-Wing Terrorists Who Plotted To Kill Republicans

Matthew Vadum

Here’s a link to an interesting piece at Big Journalism by Lee Stranahan. It’s about the vicious propaganda film Better This World which falsely depicts American hero Brandon Darby as a co-conspirator in a plot to attack the 2008 GOP convention with Molotov cocktails. The goal of the two actual conspirators, David Guy McKay and Bradley Neil Crowder, was to kill Republicans. These two would-be murderers accused Darby of making them do it but the accusation was wholly rejected by the judge who heard the criminal case. I was the first to report almost a year ago that this wretched pro-terrorist film … Continue reading Flashback: Soros-Funded Documentary Embraces Left-Wing Terrorists Who Plotted To Kill Republicans

The Soros Loophole

Matthew Vadum

I have a piece at Front Page Magazine today about ACORN patron George Soros. It’s titled The Soros Loophole. Here’s the top of it: It wasn’t that long ago that currency speculator George Soros was traveling the globe urging a regulatory crackdown on the same financial sector that has allowed him to become a billionaire 14 times over. In late 2008 the preachy political radical who has given more than $8 billion to charities and left-wing causes lectured a congressional committee. “The entire regulatory framework needs to be reconsidered and hedge funds need to be regulated within that framework,” he … Continue reading The Soros Loophole

Soros Lieutenant Neier to Retire

Matthew Vadum

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

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

Matthew Vadum

(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)

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

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

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

A Preemptive Smear by George Soros’s Media Lapdogs

Matthew Vadum

My new book Subversion Inc. is already being smeared by the George Soros-funded media watchdog lapdog, Media Matters for America. (See Saul Alinsky’s 5th rule of power tactics: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”) Oliver Willis attacks the book via Twitter by disparaging the publisher, WND Books, instead of dealing with the book itself (which he hasn’t read). Here is Willis’s tweet: Just wait till the folks at Media Matters see what’s in the book! They’re going to be burning the midnight oil futilely working to disprove all the damning evidence I’ve compiled. Buy the book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red … Continue reading A Preemptive Smear by George Soros’s Media Lapdogs

The Depravity of George Soros

Matthew Vadum

Kenneth Vogel of the Politico has a good piece today on the preeminent funder of the far left, the twisted George Soros. Soros, who has been called a wartime Nazi collaborator for his actions in his native Hungary, whined about political polarization, claiming it was “endangering our open society.” “As I see it, the two sides in the current disputes have each got hold of one half of the truth which they proclaim to be the whole truth,” Soros told an audience at the Cato Institute this week. Blah blah blah. Tedious stuff. In Vogel’s article David Boaz of Cato says the kind of … Continue reading The Depravity of George Soros

Race-Baiting Van Jones Buddy Blesses Agitprop Studio With Billionaire Backing

Matthew Vadum

(originally posted at NewsReal) 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, … Continue reading Race-Baiting Van Jones Buddy Blesses Agitprop Studio With Billionaire Backing
