SMOKING GUN MEMO LAID OUT LEFT’S ASSAULT ON CONSERVATIVES
While President Trump was being inaugurated, the
Soros-funded Left was busy agitating.
August 30, 2018
[To learn more about the Freedom Center's recent victory
over the Left's censorship attempt, and its call for a coalition across party
and ideological lines to defend free speech, click

A strategy memo compiled by George Soros-funded activist
groups as President Trump was being inaugurated last year foretold and seemed
to lay the groundwork for many of the political difficulties Trump now faces
and the politics-related strife now roiling the nation.
The memo takes on a heightened importance as the
politically-driven censorship of conservatives by the gigantic, unregulated
social media corporations controlled by the Left is moving
into high gear while the crucial midterm congressional
elections of Nov. 6 approach.
The intensely anti-conservative animus in the memo may have
inspired MasterCard and WorldPay’s attempt on Aug. 21 to
strangle the fundraising efforts of the David Horowitz Freedom
Center, publisher of FrontPage, by refusing to complete its
financial transactions. On that day MasterCard informed the Freedom Center that
it would no longer process its transactions because it had been labeled a “hate
group” by the radical leftist groups known as the Southern Poverty Law Center
and ColorOfChange.org. The Freedom Center stood falsely accused of being
“hateful in nature” and “advocating for violence.”
Only a massive outcry by conservative groups and prominent
conservatives like Rush Limbaugh forced MasterCard to back down days later and
restore the Freedom Center’s online fundraising facilities. But other
conservative websites haven’t been so lucky. Many have been shut down or seen
their traffic slashed as leftists have manipulated algorithms and limited the
reach of conservative content.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center has
since called for a coalition to be created across partisan and
ideological lines to defend free speech.
The memo itself, "Democracy Matters: Strategic Plan for
Action," marked an escalation in tactics by the Left. It was first
made public last year by Joe Schoffstall of the Washington
Free Beacon around the time Donald Trump took the oath of office to become the
nation’s 45th president. This smoking-gun planning document aimed at suppressing
conservative voices on social media was ignored by the mainstream media at the
time and in the more than a year-and-a-half since.
The document spelled out the Left’s plans for impeaching
President Trump, filing lawsuits against the fledgling administration, and
using social media to delegitimize Trump’s presidency and hurt Republicans.
“Right now, our institutions are among the critical few that stand between the
America we love and the abyss,” the memo stated. “We must protect and defend
our democratic values. We will not back down. We will only move forward.”
WND founder Joseph Farah referred last
week to the 49-page memo as a blueprint “revealing how George Soros operatives,
including David Brock, were there at the genesis, the planning stages, with
their hands on the ignition key, of the most concerted, well-funded, diabolical
attack on free speech in the history of America.”
The document “was nothing short of a plan to turn Google,
Facebook and other social media into hyper-partisan Democratic Party activists,
promoters, cheerleaders, and off-the-books donors in an effort to turn the
country into a one-party state.”
The memo outlined left-wing activist David Brock's four-year
plan to undermine the Trump administration and Republicans using Media Matters
for America (MMfA), American Bridge 21st Century, Citizens for Responsibility
and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and left-wing propaganda website Shareblue.
All four organizations were either founded by Brock or are now controlled by
him. Since 2008, leftist billionaire George Soros has given more than $1.5
million to MMfA and more than $1.1 million to CREW through his philanthropies.
Brock, who reportedly raised $65 million during the 2016
election cycle, began working on
his plan more or less immediately after Republican Donald
Trump unexpectedly trounced Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential
election in November 2016.
Brock and his comrades met in Palm Beach, Fla., as Trump
assumed the presidency and Trump-hating Antifa rioted in the streets of the
nation’s capital. “What better way to spend inaugural weekend than talking
about how to kick Donald Trump’s ass?” Brock said in an email to left-wing
mega-donors including Soros and Tom Steyer.
Whether Brock can take responsibility for all the
leftist-inspired turmoil in the country is debatable, but many of the goals
identified in the memo have already come to pass.
According to the memo, MMfA “will continue its core mission
of disarming right-wing information.” This is what “success will look like,”
the document states:
Serial misinformers and
right-wing propagandists inhabiting everything from social media to the highest
levels of government will be exposed, discredited.
Internet and social media
platforms, like Google and Facebook, will no longer uncritically and without
consequence host and enrich fake news sites and propagandists.
Toxic alt-right social
media-fueled harassment campaigns that silence dissent and poison our national
discourse will be punished and halted.
CREW will become “the leading nonpartisan ethics watchdog
group in a period of crisis with a president and administration that present
possible conflicts of interest and ethical problems on an unprecedented scale,”
the memo states.
CREW “will demand ethical conduct from the administration
and all parts of government, expose improper influence from powerful interests,
and ensure accountability when the administration and others shirk ethical
standards, rules, and laws.”
Success will take this form, according to the document:
Trump will be afflicted by a
steady flow of damaging information, new revelations, and an inability to avoid
conflicts issues.
The Trump administration will be
forced to defend illegal conduct in court.
Powerful industries and interest
groups will see their influence wane.
Dark money will be a political
liability in key states.
The Shareblue website “will take back social media for
Democrats,” the memo states. The group will “delegitimize Donald Trump's
presidency by emboldening the opposition and empowering the majority of Americans
who oppose him.”
Success will be achieved when the following happens:
Shareblue will become the de
facto news outlet for opposition leaders and the grassroots.
Trump allies will be forced to
step down or change course due to news pushed by Shareblue.
Under pressure from Shareblue,
Democrats will take more aggressive positions against Trump.
Shareblue will achieve financial
sustainability while diversifying content offerings and platforms.
Top editorial and writing talent
will leave competitors to join Shareblue.
Meanwhile, President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office
on Tuesday that social media giants Google, Twitter, and Facebook “better be
careful” because they “are treading on very, very troubled territory” by
favoring left-wing viewpoints.
Earlier that day he tweeted, “This is a very serious
situation—will be addressed!”
“Google search results for ‘Trump News’ shows only the
viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for
me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD,” he wrote.
“Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal.”
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has indicated he will not testify
at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Sept. 5. on social media and Russian
meddling in American elections. Unlike Pichai, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and
Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg are expected to testify.
Whether Dorsey and Sandberg will tell the truth is an open
question.
