Today they posted an article explaining what is happening to the people who are rioting and destroying property in many of our major cities. Keep in mind that many of the prosecutors in these cities were elected with money supplied by organizations funded by George Soros.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>St. Louis is a case in point. There, prosecutor Kim Gardner let 36 people arrested for looting and rioting go scot-free, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stltoday.com\/news\/local\/crime-and-courts\/all-those-arrested-in-mondays-night-protests-and-unrest-in-st-louis-released-from-jail\/article_6c06a78f-b9f3-59f2-842f-0d6c466e84e5.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/a>. Gardner\u2019s office used the pathetic excuse that it needed \u201cessential evidence\u201d from the police, implying it had none.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>One wonders how people caught <em>in flagrante delicto<\/em> could simply be released. The answer is, Gardner is a far-left acolyte of Soros, having been the recipient during her 2016 election of no fewer than three separate donations from a Soros-backed political-action committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>It\u2019s not the only example of Soros\u2019 malign influence. Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner, who was elected with Soros money, reportedly \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2020\/jun\/4\/prosecutors-dismiss-looting-rioting-charges-agains\/\">has no interest<\/a>\u201d\u00a0in prosecuting rioters in the city. As infuriating as this and other instances of prosecutorial misconduct are to many of us, it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll see more of it in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cFinancier and left-wing philanthropist George Soros contributed large sums to progressive candidates running for\u00a0district attorney\u00a0all around the country, apparently in hopes of changing the law enforcement system at the county or district level,\u201d according to a December 2019 report from the <a href=\"https:\/\/capitalresearch.org\/article\/soros-aims-to-transform-the-justice-system-by-funding-da-races\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Capital Research Center<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Beginning in 2015, the CRC report notes, Soros doled out more than $17 million \u201con district attorney and other local races in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Arizona, but also in large, predominantly left-of-center states such as California and New York.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article further explains the goal of the political activists connected to George Soros:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>What\u2019s behind all this? An attempt to undermine the American justice system at every level. Soros and his followers believe our court system and police procedures are so corrupt, so hopelessly racist, that justice is literally impossible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In 2014, Soros gifted the ACLU with $50 million to fight \u201cmass incarceration.\u201d Since then, using his own Open Society Foundations and donations to other Soros-linked organizations, such as the Tides Foundation, he has continued to fund his attack on America\u2019s justice system.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Yes, there are rare incidents of racist and illegal behavior on the part of police and prosecutors. None of our politically directed institutions is infallible. And when such things take place, as now seems in the tragic death of George Floyd, the perpetrators should be punished.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But a system that refuses to lock up those who commit criminal acts out of some sense that it\u2019s karmic compensation for \u201cracism\u201d and \u201cinjustice\u201d is no system at all. It is legal chaos.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>And, taken a step further, the linking of justice to mob-imposed outrage is dangerous. That\u2019s why the statue of Lady Justice, once found in so many courts around the nation, is always blindfolded. Justice isn\u2019t about politics; it\u2019s about the law. <em>Justice is blind<\/em>, as the saying goes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The mainstream media go out of their way to downplay the 89-year-old Soros\u2019 role in trying to \u201ctransform\u201d the American justice system. It\u2019s to be expected, given the fact that much of the media now simply follow the progressive left\u2019s script in \u201creporting\u201d the news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><\/div>\n<div>The article concludes:<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But like so many others on the far left who have gotten fabulously wealthy in America\u2019s free-market system while protected by our laws and Constitution, Soros <em>hates<\/em> America. He wants to tear it down.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>And no, that\u2019s not an exaggeration. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/html\/connoisseur-chaos-14954.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">he himself has said<\/a>, \u201cThe main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.\u201d He believes that, and is acting on it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>So it\u2019s not surprising he\u2019s funding American extremists to do the job. By seeding local justice agencies and courts with far-left lawyers, Soros is helping to hollow out our justice system, once the envy of the world. Those who are the supposed protectors of the rule of law are actually its enemies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Just as with recent revelations of misconduct at the FBI, Justice Department and CIA, Americans would be well-advised to pay close attention also to their local races for judges, district attorneys and other positions of power in the justice system. Any interference by Soros is a red flag, pun intended, that your local justice system is being subverted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I wonder what the people who are being used by the leftists and anarchists fueling the riots think there is to gain. Do they believe that they will prosper in any way in the &#8216;new&#8217; system they are espousing? Have they considered that fact that the goal of those fomenting the riots is tyranny?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Issues &amp; Insights is a website started by the people who used to write the editorial page of Investor&#8217;s Business Daily.
