Yesterday Investor’s Business Daily<\/a> posted a story about some recent revelations regarding money in politics. Oddly enough, they were one of the few news organizations reporting the information.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Leaked documents released a few days ago provide juicy insider details of how a fabulously rich businessman has been using his money to influence elections in Europe<\/a>, underwrite an extremist group, target U.S. citizens who disagreed with him, dictate foreign policy, and try to sway a Supreme Court ruling, among other things. Pretty compelling stuff, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not if it involves leftist billionaire George Soros<\/a>. In this case, the mainstream press couldn’t care less.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday, a group called DC Leaks posted more than 2,500 documents going back to 2008 that it pilfered from Soros’ Open Society Foundations<\/a>‘ servers. Since then, the mainstream media have shown zero interest in this gold mine of information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We couldn’t find a single story on the New York Times<\/a>, CNN, Washington Post, CBS News<\/a> or other major news sites that even noted the existence of these leaked documents, let alone reported on what’s in them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indeed, the only news organization that appears to be diligently sifting through all the documents is the conservative Daily Caller<\/a>, which as a result has filed a series of eye-opening reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of the information revealed by the documents:<\/p>\n

As we noted in this space on Monday<\/a>, the leaked documents show how Soros’ far-flung international organizations attempted to manipulate Europe’s 2014 elections. The “List of European Elections 2014 Projects” details over 90 Soros efforts he had under way that year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The documents reveal that Soros has poured nearly $4 million into anti-Israel groups, with a goal of “challenging Israel’s racist and anti-democratic policies.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here at home, they show\u00a0that Soros proposed paying the Center for American Politics $200,000 to conduct a smear campaign against conservative activists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

More recently, an October 2015 document<\/a> came to light showing that Soros’ Open Society U.S. Programs had donated $650,000 to “invest in technical assistance and support for the groups at the core of the burgeoning #BlackLivesMatter movement.” Since then, several BLM protests have turned violent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only is a non-American influencing American foreign policy and trying to influence American elections, he is directly funding a group that is fomenting violence in America.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

This year alone, Soros has given $7 million to the Clinton-supporting Priorities USA<\/a> super-PAC<\/a>, and a total of $25 million to support Democrats and their causes, according to Politico<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And when Soros speaks, Clinton listens. A separate email released by WikiLeaks<\/a> shows Soros giving what read like step-by-step instructions to then-Secretary of State Clinton on how to deal with unrest in Albania<\/a> in early 2011, including a list of people who should be considered as candidates to become an official mediator sent to that country. Days later, the EU dispatched one of the people on Soros’ list.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thomas Lifson, writing in the American Thinker blog<\/a>, said “Soros got the U.S. and other accomplices to intervene in the internal affairs of a sovereign state\u2026. How is this not huge news?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most American voters will never be aware of this story. They will calmly go to the polls in November unaware that George Soros is pulling Hillary Clinton’s strings. George Soros will be calling the shots in the White House if Hillary Clinton is elected. Is that good for America?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
