The Left (often deceptively described as Progressives)
will destroy Christianity – using Obama’s 2008 election victory wording
– by fundamentally transforming the Christian Faith. This fundamental
transformation means redefining what it means to be a Christian. Bill Thomas at
American Thinker illustrates how the Left has been
transforming Christianity. YOU MUST DECIDE whether to stand with God’s Word or
Man’sEdenicLie.
********************* The Left Hopes to Destroy Christianity by Changing It
By Bill Thomas September 15, 2019 American
Thinker
The United States "is a Christian nation." These
words seem shocking today, but they were part of the 1892 Supreme Court
decision in Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States. They
were penned by Justice David J. Brewer as he wrote for
the majority.
President Harry Truman once said, "We must never
forget that this country was founded by men who came to these shores to worship
God as they pleased. Catholics, Jews, and Protestants, all came here
for this great purpose. They did not come here to do as they pleased
— but to worship God as they pleased, and that is an important
distinction."
Historically, worshiping God has not been a partisan issue
in the United States. It was generally taught across this land that
our nation was founded by those who sought freedom to worship as they chose and
who built what we now call a Judeo-Christian heritage.
Mark David Hall of the Heritage Foundation wrote in 2011, "My
contention is merely that orthodox Christianity had a very significant
influence on America's Founders and that this influence is often overlooked by
students of the American Founding."
Now, though, a simple search of the phrase
"Judeo-Christian" will elicit multiple articles declaring that the
phrase is meaningless and outdated. As frustrating as that is,
what's more appalling is the Left's desire to erode our country's Judeo-Christian
foundation and to minimize the influence of the Christian faith.
The Left's assault of the Christian faith is
three-pronged. First, leftists seek to redefine what it means to be
a Christian. Next, they seek to silence Christian voices in the
arena of public discussion. Third, they want to elevate the ideas of
non-Christians to change traditional thinking. Hard to believe, but
let's look.
The Left wants to change the way culture sees
Christianity. We see it on several fronts. The Left wants
to divide the church about what is right and wrong. The United
Methodists are ready to split on the issue of
same-sex "marriage." There's a push among a small but loud
faction of liberal voices that declare themselves "exvangelicals,"
who resist the church's stance of
LGBT issues and abortion but want to retain and redefine what it means to be a
Christian in 2019.
In redefining Christianity, they want to shift the emphasis
from a changed life to doing what they define as societal
good. Presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) of South Bend,
Ind. is attempting to put a new spin on the "old time
religion." Kirsten Powers writes, "Does the country
need an awakening of the Christian left? Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg
thinks so." In Buttigieg's understanding of the Christian
faith, since Jesus never specifically mentioned abortion, we shouldn't spend so
much time on it. In his view, most of Scripture points to
"defending the poor, and the immigrant, and the stranger, and the
prisoner, and the outcast, and those who are left behind by the way society
works." Buttigieg, as a gay man, is a staunch supporter of LGBT
rights and thinks the church's view on them should change. For
Mayor Pete and those who think as he does, Christianity is about not
transformed lives, but rather a social gospel and agenda.
As the left redefines what Christianity is, it also wants to
shame and silence those who are Christians. Curtis Wong, in a
Huffington Post column, wrote, "New Orleans Saints
quarterback Drew Brees faced a barrage of criticism this week after appearing
in a video promoting an event organized by an evangelical Christian group known
for its anti-LGBTQ stance." Wong continued, "Brees
partnered with Focus on the Family to promote 'Bring Your Bible to School Day,'
now in its sixth year and slated for Oct. 3. The athlete encouraged
students to 'share God's love with friends' in a 22-second video."
The "barrage of criticism" Wong mentions was more
like a hate-storm. Newspaper columns, tweets, and blog posts blasted
the Saints quarterback for speaking out for a Focus on the Family event that
encouraged students to bring their Bibles to school. That was it. There
was no hidden agenda, nothing about any other social issue. Just
bring your Bible to school. The Left, though, has no tolerance for
Focus on the Family, whom leftists describe, as Wong did, as
"anti-LGBTQ." So anything Focus on the Family does is
inherently evil, and those who work with or for it must be shamed and silenced.
When Focus on the Family's president, Jim Daly, defended
Brees, he rightly spoke of how the Left views any disagreement as
hate. Patheos, an atheist website, responded, "Daly treats
his critics as people unable to handle a different opinion. That's a
complete lie. That's a Christian lie. A difference of opinions
might accurately describe which baseball team will win the World Series or
whether a movie is really as good as people say. Whether or not
LGBTQ people deserve civil rights is not about a difference of
opinions. Rejecting their humanity isn't showing
respect." It's hard to see how opposing the attempted
redefinition of marriage is denying anyone's humanity, but that's not the
issue. It's about shaming and silencing those who think differently.
As they seek to redefine the Christian faith and silence
those who hold to a traditional or historic view, they seek to minimize
Christianity's voice in the public arena.
On August 24, 2019, the Democratic National Committee passed a resolution that
celebrates the role of non-Christians in the Democratic Party while attacking
those who adhere to what the Bible teaches.
The Democrats and those on the Left believe that the number
of those who classify themselves as having no faith is growing, and they seem
to like it. They also acknowledge that this is a group that
overwhelmingly agrees with the Democrats' beliefs on same-sex
"marriage" and open borders. The Democrats seem proud that
their plan for America cannot be connected with traditional Christianity.
The resolution also asserts, without supporting evidence,
that the non-Christians have been subject to bias and
exclusion in American society, especially in policymaking. The
intent of this part is not to address acts of bias against
people. There aren't any. It's an attempt to unwind the
Judeo-Christian heritage upon which this nation was built. The
Democrats of 2019 believe that America has had too much God, Christianity, and
faith in her history. The Democrats want to unravel that by
emphasizing worldviews that do not put God at the center.
Remaking Christianity seems to be part of the Left's plan to
remake America. Kind of sheds a new light on 2020. +++++++++++++++++++++++
American Thinker is a daily
internet publication devoted to the thoughtful exploration of issues of
importance to Americans. Contributors are accomplished in fields beyond
journalism and animated to write for the general public out of concern for the
complex and morally significant questions on the national agenda.
There is no limit to the
topics appearing on American Thinker. National security in all its dimensions
-- strategic, economic, diplomatic, and military -- is emphasized. The right to
exist and the survival of the State of Israel are of great importance to us.
Business, science, technology, medicine, management, and economics in their
practical and ethical dimensions are also emphasized, as is the state of
American culture.
It’s been a busy couple of weeks in terms of the ongoing
transformation of America so let me catch you up.
Does anyone else see it as ironic that the squelching of
conservative speech has been placed into overdrive since Americans elected a
conservative president?
It’s as if the technocrats embedded in the deep state are
punishing us for refusing to elect their pre-ordained candidate.
The old Soviet Union, if you recall, also claimed to have
“free” elections. But the poorly kept secret was that only pre-approved
candidates were allowed on the ballot. It was the professional politicos in the
Soviet bureaucracy who hand-selected the “choices” that were then offered to
the proletariat, who on their own could not be trusted to vote the right way.
“Choices” had to be limited.
Similarly, a beast-like system has been created by modern
technocrats in America. A system where outsiders like Donald Trump have no
chance of winning because they don’t have the support of the “professionals” in
the bureaucracy.
I think it’s pretty clear that Trump snuck up on them in
2016, that they believed their own flawed polling, and underestimated just how
teed off the middle-class working people had become after decades of rule by
politicians on the right and left who did not understand their plight, and
didn’t care to learn.
They now are determined not to let it happen again. Ever. No
more Trump. No more Trumpian wannabes.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Google-YouTube – which
benefit from government-supported monopolies – are all purging conservatives
from their platforms in time for the 2020 election. Even those not purged will
be more careful, tempering, watching what they say, so as not to lose their
voice all together.
Most major cities are also cracking down on dissenters. They
are implementing the United Nations’ New Urban Agenda and partnering with
progressive corporations in public-private partnerships. Anyone employed by one
of these cities, or one of their corporate “partners,” is not allowed to
express any unauthorized opinions on the government-backed social media sites.
If this sounds like “collusion,” that’s because it is.
Collusion to silence those on the right. Think Orwell’s “1984.” It has arrived
with little fanfare.
Specifically off limits are statements, comments or even
jokes that offend certain privileged groups, notably followers of Islam,
LGBTQs, or the Planned Parenthood abortion industry. If a person employed by
these politically correct cities or companies steps out of bounds, they face a
very real risk losing their job and possibly their career.
Teachers are routinely disciplined, even fired, for
referring to transgender students by the wrong pronoun. You can read about one
such case in Virginia here.
In Sterling Heights, Michigan, Republican Mayor Michael
Taylor sides
with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslims over
a large community of Chaldean Christians who did not want a mega-mosque built
in the middle of their neighborhood. In terms of sheer numbers, there are more
Chaldeans in Sterling Heights than Muslims, but the Chaldeans are fractured and
split while the Muslim community speaks with a single voice and carries a big
stick. A big stick in terms of the ease with which CAIR threatens to use legal
action if it doesn’t get its way. CAIR speaks and the spineless politicians
listen. Taylor, for example, flip-flopped from opposing the mega-mosque to supporting
it. Taylor denies it, but his change of heart clearly came after CAIR’s
executive director pointed a dagger-like finger at him and declared him guilty
of “Islamophobia.”
That’s all it takes for the vast majority of politicians in
today’s America to make up their minds which side they want to be on whenever a
controversy involving Islam pops up.
Dawud Walid, CAIR-Michigan’s chapter boss, was able to get a
low-level mayoral appointee removed from her post last year in the city of
Warren, a suburb of Detroit. Diane Koslowski had committed the unpardonable sin
of criticizing Islam on her private Facebook page, where she posted “Islam is
hate.”
Though she publicly apologized and expressed deep remorse
for “offending” Muslims, it did her no good. She was still forced to resign in
disgrace from the city advisory board. You can read our report on last year’s
fiasco in Warren here.
·Now it has happened again this week in Dearborn, Michigan,
where the new Gestapo led by CAIR and Walid jumped into action against a man
who, like Kozlowski, violated the Islamic Sharia law against
blaspheming/slandering a Muslim.
Dearborn Mayor Jack O’Reilly sided with CAIR and the Muslims
over his own city employee in a case that really amounted to some bad Facebook
humor. Bill Larion, a surveyor in the city’s engineering department, posted
that he thought Sports Illustrated’s inclusion of a burkini-clad Muslim woman
in its Swimsuit Edition would have better suited for the cover of “Camels ‘R
Us.”
·In fact, CAIR spends a lot of its time
calling on people to resign, simply because they expressed a politically
incorrect thought. It also happened last
week in St. Lawrence County, N.Y., where CAIR demanded a local
county lawmaker resign because she posted to Facebook a true statement about
the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan to “destroy us from within.”
In Dearborn, Mr. Larion’s comment was clearly in bad taste.
But did it warrant his immediate firing, even after issuing an apology to the
city’s Muslim community? Almost certainly not. Compare that drastic retribution
against a local city surveyor to the way Muslims in far more powerful positions
are treated when they slip up and make insensitive comments against Jews, such
as Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have done.
Then you have the Muslim attorney general of Minnesota,
Keith Ellison, who has been accused by multiple former girlfriends of physical
abuse. They offered hard evidence, including text messages and medical reports.
Did Ellison suffer any consequences?
·And what about the school run by Muslim
American Society in Philadelphia, where middle-school children were taught
to chant songs about chopping off the heads of Jews. The MAS has 50 chapters.
As far as I know they all continue to operate under business as usual. No
consequences.
But a low level employee of Dearborn makes an off-color joke
on Facebook and he loses his job.
Dearborn Mayor O’Reilly, virtue signaling to his large and
growing Muslim community [about 40 percent of Dearborn is Muslim], said he had
“zero tolerance for the type of language used in the Facebook comment,”
the Detroit
News reports.
Zero tolerance for an off-the-cuff joke about burkinis. All
the tolerance in the world for children singing about beheading Jews and nary a
peep when a Muslim politician is accused of sexually assaulting women.
·Nor did I see any national media coverage of
the discovery this week of a jihadist training camp in rural Macon County,
Alabama. This camp is reportedly operated by the same terrorist, Sirraj Wahhaj,
who was caught training kids at a similar camp last year to attack schools in
New Mexico.

·Meanwhile, a Seattle-area school district has been urging its teachers to
“bless” Muslim studentseach day during the Islamic holiday of
Ramadan. They are being sued by the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund on
behalf of non-Muslim parents who are not happy about the special treatment of
Muslims in their children’s schools. Since when do Christian children ever
receive a special “blessing” from public schools during Christmas or Good
Friday?
Yes, it’s been a news-filled week on the cultural jihad
front. Not that you would know it from watching or reading mainstream corporate
media outlets.
These are all the signs of a conquered nation. When a nation
bends over backwards to exaggerate and condemn the sins of its own people while
covering up or downplaying the sins of its enemies, that nation is already
conquered in its collective psyche. The mind-control spin doctors have everyone
living in a matrix of ignorant bliss.

If you are a Conservative, you probably have heard of George
Soros. He is a nefarious individual who actually has a past connected to the
Nazi regime of Germany’s Adolf Hitler.
Those Obama words is one reason Conservatives believed he
was a puppet of the /Soros agenda.
Let’s look at a little Soros history for context today:
George Soros was born to Tividar
and Erzebat Schwartz, non-practicing Jews, in Budapest, Hungary on August 12,
1930. Tivadar was an attorney by profession, but the consuming passion of his life
was the promotion of Esperanto—an artificial, “universal” language created
during the 1880s in hopes that people worldwide might be persuaded to drop
their native tongues and speak Esperanto instead—thereby, in theory at least,
minimizing their nationalist impulses while advancing intercultural harmony. In
1936, Tivadar changed his family surname to Soros—a future-tense Esperanto verb
meaning “will soar.”13
When the Nazis occupied Budapest in
1944, Tivadar decided to split up his family so as to minimize the chance that
all its members would be killed together. For each of them—his wife and two
sons he purchased forged papers identifying them
as Christians; paid
government officials to conceal his
family’s Jewish heritage from the German and Hungarian fascists; and bribed Gentile
families to take them into their homes. As for George in particular, the
father paid a
Hungarian government official named Baumbach to claim George as his Christian
godson, “Sandor Kiss,” and to let the boy
live with him in Budapest. One of Baumbach’s duties was to deliver deportation
notices to Hungary’s Jews, confiscating their property and turning it over to
Germany. Young George Soros sometimes accompanied the official on his rounds.14…
Soros today recalls the German
occupation of Hungary as “probably the happiest year of my life.” “For me,” he
elaborates, “it was a very positive experience. …
In 1947 the Soros
family relocated from Hungary to England, where George attended the London
School of Economics (LSE). There, he was exposed to the works of the
Viennese-born philosopher Karl Popper, who taught at LSE and whom Soros would
later call his “spiritual mentor.”17 Though Soros neverstudied directly under Popper, he read the latter’s works and
submitted some essays to him for review and comment. Most notably, Popper’s
1945 book The Open Society and Its Enemies introduced Soros to
the concept of an “open society,” a theme that would play a central role in
Soros’s thought and activities for the rest of his life.18
… Popper readily embraced this
concept and expanded upon it. In his view, the open society was a place that
permitted its citizens the right to criticize and change its institutions as
they saw fit; he rejected the imposed intellectual conformity, central
planning, and historical determinism of Marxist doctrine.20 By Popper’s reckoning, a
society was “closed”—and thus undesirable—if it assumed that it was in any way
superior to other societies. Likewise, any belief system or individual claiming
to be in possession of “ultimate truth” was an “enemy” of the open society as
well. Popper viewed all knowledge as conjectural rather than certain, as
evolving rather than fixed.
Thus, by logical extension, Popper
did not share the American founders’ confident assertion that certain truths
were “self-evident,” and that certain rights—such as the right to “life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” as referenced in the Declaration of
Independence—were “unalienable” and thus not subject to doubt, because they had
been granted to mankind by the ultimate authority, the “Creator.”21 We shall see that George Soros,
as he grew to maturity, would likewise reject the founders’ premise. Indeed
Soros would harbor great disdain for modern-day American political figures who
displayed unshakable confidence in their own culture’s nobility, and who
embraced the tenets of the Declaration and the U.S. Constitution as timeless,
immutable truths. To Soros, “Popper’s greatest contribution to philosophy” was
his teaching that “the ultimate truth remains permanently beyond our reach.”22
George Soros (born
August 12, 1930) is an anti-Semitic[2]atheist,[1] international
financier and con artist who bankrolled the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and HillaryClinton, among other left-wing causes.[3] He
is officially the 190th richest person on the planet,[4] though
he transferred $18 billion of his wealth to his organizations, making his official
wealth appear smaller.[5] He
manages the funds of many other of the world's richest people. Soros'
organization, the Open Society Foundations, is
responsible for financing postmodernist, Neo-Marxist organizations for his
personal gain. As Snopes.com noted,[6] it
devotes $2.6 billion to advance left-wing SJW priorities which in reality
promote feminism, Islam,illegaldrugs, prostitution,
and homosexuality.
He has attacked Jews, falsely claiming they cause anti-Semitism.[7]
Soros is a naturalized American citizen, born in Hungary where he worked for the Nazis as
a teenager, fingering and looting his compatriot Jews.[8] He
is a leftist and elitistwhose current net worth is estimated to
be about $8 billion, not including the $18 billion of his wealth that he
transferred to his organizations in 2017.[5] He
is considered by many to be a modern robber baron.[9] Calls
for his arrest due to currency manipulation and other crimes have reverberated
around the world.[10]
In 1992, Soros earned the
title, "the man who broke the Bank of England",[11] for
shorting the British Pound. …
…
Early life
Soros was born August 12, 1930, in
Budapest, Hungary.
His parents were Elizabeth and Tivadar Soros. Tivadar, who sometimes went by
Teodoro Åœvarc,[15] was
an active Esperantist. George Soros grew up learning Esperanto from his father.[16][17]
George Soros' birth name was György
Schwartz, his family name was changed in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros to
avoid antisemitism.
The name "Soros" is itself derived from an esperanto word "Sori",
which means "To Soar".[18] George
Soros later said that he "grew up in a Jewish,
anti-semitic home," and that his parents were "uncomfortable with
their religious roots."[19] Soros
is an atheist.[20]

So readers, I’ve been using a seven year old laptop to fulfill the
old blogging habit. My lovely wife sprang for an upgrade.
I’m a relatively small-time blogger but with a consistently
growing readership despite some token censorship from the
“Why are U.S. taxpayers funding billionaire
‘philanthropist’ George Soros and his highly politicized Open Society
Foundations?” – Judicial Watch Special Report
Dear
Editor/Broadcaster,
I urge you to take a few minutes to read the stunning Judicial Watch Special Report on the United
States government funding of George Soros' radical leftist agenda worldwide.
As the Special Report, penned by JW Director of Investigations and Research
Chris Farrell, painstakingly documents, Soros, his Open Society Foundations,
and their affiliates are promoting and advancing:
“… a radical, progressive agenda that seeks to destabilize legitimate
governments, erase national borders and identities, target conservative
politicians, finance civil unrest, subvert institutions of higher education,
and orchestrate refugee crises for political gain.”
The Special Report
fully documents the hundreds of millions of dollars Soros-affiliated
organizations have received from the United States government to implement
their radical agenda.
And, should anyone harbor any doubts as to the authenticity of the Report, I
invite them to examine the 154 meticulous footnotes – most with clickable
hyperlinks.
And then, please alert your readers and viewers as to how the U.S. government
is spending their tax dollars to promote the Soros agenda.
Sincerely,
Carter L. Clews

The Financial and Staffing Nexus Between the Open Society Foundations
and the United States Government
Advancing a
Radical Leftist Agenda at U.S. Taxpayer Expense
November 30, 2018
Introduction
Judicial Watch promotes transparency, integrity and accountability in
government, politics and the law. We carry out our mission through
investigations, research, litigation and public education. As part of our
educational activities we produce Special Reports on important public policy
matters in order to illuminate the operations of government in a way that
informs the public and holds our trusted public servants accountable.
This Special Report describes the activities of billionaire
philanthropist George Soros and his Open Society Foundations (OSF), which are
partially financed by U.S. taxpayers. Soros, his foundation and their
affiliates promote and advance a radical, progressive agenda that seeks to
destabilize legitimate governments, erase national borders and identities,
target conservative politicians, finance civil unrest, subvert institutions of
higher education, and orchestrate refugee crises for political gain. The Soros
network is engaged in an active and ongoing effort to affect politics,
economics, and societies in Europe (Albania, Macedonia, Romania, Hungary),
Latin America (Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico), and across the globe. Judicial
Watch has successfully investigated and litigated to document the paper trail
left by the OSF network as it operates, at taxpayer expense, to subvert and
manipulate the sovereignty of constitutional republics and allies of the United
States.
The Soros operations are highly sophisticated and multi-faceted, working
across academia; the courts; labor and agriculture; “social justice”
organizations; religious associations; and, of course, political groups. OSF
operations also utilize U.S.-based non- profit organizations to further their
agenda. Key personnel in the Soros/OSF network (and their affiliates) are
former U.S. government officials capable of leveraging their government status
and access to benefit the OSF’s progressive goals.
Judicial Watch will continue to investigate and litigate to obtain
evidence that we will analyze as we pursue additional lines of inquiry
concerning Soros and the Open Society Foundations around the world and, in
particular, the United States.
Thomas Fitton President Washington, DC
Background and
Context
The Open Society Foundations’ mission is to: “… work to build vibrant and
tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable and open to the
participation of all people.”1
The OSF, and its subsidiaries and affiliates, are subsidized with U.S.
taxpayer money, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. Senior U.S.
government officials have leveraged their positions for post-government
employment with OSF programs, sometimes seeking taxpayer funding for the very
same specialties, functions and regions that involved their government
employment.
It is important to contextualize the operations and financing of the Open
Society Foundations. A year ago, Soros took dramatic action to step up his
leftist political activities. As reported by the Wall Street Journal on October 17, 2017, Soros transferred $18
billion to his Open Society Foundation:
“The pioneer of hedge-fund investing has
transferred the bulk of his wealth to Open Society Foundations”
***
“Open Society today has a broad mandate driven
largely by its founder’s values. It operates through a network of more than 40
foundations and offices in countries from Afghanistan to South Africa.
Mr. Soros has urged developed countries in
Europe and elsewhere to share the burden of increased migration from
conflict-ridden countries [conflict, it appears, Soros groups help foment].
Anti- Soros politicians in Macedonia, Poland and some other European countries
have attacked foreign-funded groups, including Open Society, for what they see
as outside interference in their affairs.”2
Three years before this massive transfer of wealth to the Open Society
Foundation, Inside Philanthropy reported:3
“The Open Society Foundations is bigger than
you think. In fact, it may be the largest philanthropic organization ever
built, with branches in 37 countries.While the Gates Foundation spends more money, OSF has a larger footprint
worldwide thanks to its many local offices, including throughout Africa.OSF’s budget will be around $930 million this
year—which is substantially more than Ford’s [Foundation] total grantmaking.”
One might reasonably wonder why U.S. taxpayers would be asked to fund the
activities of such a wealthy, sophisticated, highly politicized,
“philanthropic” organization.
In 2018, OSF projected expending $537,000,000 in grants and program
funding throughout the world.4 The 2018 OSF budget exceeds $1 billion. While
the OSF’s self- professed goals of strengthening the rule of law, supporting
democratically elected governments, promoting fairness in political, legal, and
economic systems, and safeguarding fundamental rights may seem innocuous – or
even noble – the reality is far different. Soros promotes a radical left agenda.
In the United States, this has included:
·Promoting an open border with Mexico and fighting immigration enforcement
efforts;5
·Fomenting racial disharmony by funding anti-capitalist racialist
organizations;6
·Financing the Black Lives Matter movement and other organizations
involved in the riots in Ferguson, Missouri;7
·Weakening the integrity of our electoral systems;8
·Promoting taxpayer funded abortion-on-demand;9
·Advocating a government-run health care system;10
·Opposing U.S. counterterrorism efforts;11
·Promoting dubious transnational climate change agreements that threaten
American sovereignty;12 and,
·Working to promote gun control and erode Second Amendment protections.13
The Soros foundations funded the liberal think tank Center for American
Progress (CAP) (founded by former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John
Podesta, who remains on the CAP Board of Directors14), and the related 501c(4)
CAP Action Fund to the sum of $1.835 million dollars in 2016 and 2017.15 OSF
program strategy documents describe CAP as an “anchor” grantee of the
organization.16 The current President of CAP, Neera Tanden, was Policy Director
of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and domestic policy director
for the Obama campaign. Additional CAP Board members include Tom Steyer and
Sen. Tom Daschle.17
Soros foundations also funded the Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now (ACORN) and its related entities, and Democratic voter turnout
initiatives. In 2003, Soros described defeating President George W. Bush as,
“the central focus of my life,” and donated more than $15 million to anti-Bush
organizations and efforts.18 At the January 2018 World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland, Soros attacked President Trump and described him as a “danger to
the world.”19
Similarly, in Europe, Soros and his foundations have sought to erase
national borders and identities,20 targeted conservative politicians,21
financed civil unrest,22 infiltrated institutions of higher education,23 and
orchestrated a massive refugee crisis24 that will leave the continent forever
changed.25
Judicial Watch has filed four lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Columbia directly related to uncovering the facts about the global
Soros-funded network of left-wing activist groups – what Hungarian Prime
Minister Viktor Orban calls Soros’ “Mercenary Army”26 – organized in
part through the Soros Open Society Foundation and his East West Management
Institute. The documents uncovered by Judicial Watch through a series of
lawsuits reveal that the Obama administration turned over key State Department
activities to George Soros’ OSF. Judicial Watch reporting suggests the Deep
State continues to be aligned with Soros as career and holdover State
Department officials in countries such as Albania, Colombia, Guatemala,
Macedonia and Romania help OSF push its radical agenda.

Foundations’ 2015-2018 U.S. Programs plan lists a number of redistributionist
policy goals and sets out the organizations that will function as either
“anchor” or “core” grantees for that specific set of goals. Included among
these grantees are a number of hot-button left-wing contemporary organizations
such as the Black Lives Matter aligned group Color of Change, Unidos US (formerly the National Council
