HMM…Protesting Exposed Fraud? Are People That Gullible?

OR Are They Conditioned Dem-Marxist Storm Troopers?


John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© February 19, 2025

 

It’s no surprise Dem-Marxist politicians are crying and whining about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) finding misspent monies and outright FRAUD in the Federal Government. BECAUSE the Dem-Marxist agenda has been the beneficiary of such decades long criminality.

 

What is surprising to me – and perhaps I should not be surprised – is that there is the emergence of brainwashed protesters protesting the actions of the President Trump/Musk led revelations of MASSIVE FRAUD conducted under the auspices of the Federal Government at the expense of the U.S. Taxpayer.

 

HOW DUMB can a person be to protest revelations of FRAUD?

 

And yes, I realize the protest focus is on Job loss. NEVERTHELESS, the jobs being lost were/are based on fraud against Taxpayers. So, get an honest, productive, Pro-American job. Quit whining about jobs lost which exist to defraud American taxpayers.

 

The brainwashed Dem supporters are brandishing placards such as “Did you vote for Musk?” OR “No one voted for Musk”.

 

The truth for these poor brainwashed saps is Voters did vote for the actions which duly elected President Trump appointed Musk to perform.

 

In a Substack post by Michael Snyder entitled, “If You Think That The Left Is Angry Now, Just Wait Until Fraudulent Social Security Payments Stop Going Out”, Snyder posted a graph from DOGE showing Social Security benefit payouts allegedly to people alive from the ages ranging 90 to 369 years old. It certainly is possible in the 90-to-99 age bracket there are living souls, but I have serious doubts about the 6,054,154 and I especially have about the listed 4-MILLION-PLUS living number receiving benefits in the 100-to-109 bracket. In total between the ages 90-to-369, there are 23,370,829 living Senior Citizens being paid Social Security benefits. I suspect that same block of immortal Seniors also vote for the Dem Party every election cycle.

 

DOGE is showing this criminal fraud is just the tip of iceberg. The Dems and their Bureaucratic criminal minions are being exposed by DOGE in criminal fraud that would make Organized Crime Syndicates and Cartels look like small potatoes.

 

That is makes the protestors against Trump and the DOGE led by Musk look like morons.

If You Think That The Left Is Angry Now, Just Wait Until Fraudulent Social Security Payments Stop Going Out

 

By Michael Snyder

What is our society going to look like if “the biggest fraud in history” is brought to a screeching halt? Elon Musk and his DOGE team have been taking a meat axe to federal agency after federal agency, but Social Security is the big Kahuna. According to the Social Security Administration, in 2025 approximately 69 million Americans will be receiving Social Security payments each month, and those payments will come to a grand total of approximately 1.6 trillion dollars for the entire year. As you will see below, it appears that the Social Security program is being victimized by fraud on a massive scale. If those fraudulent payments stop going out, those that have been living the high life at our expense are going to be extremely, extremely angry.

 

I am entirely convinced that we are going to see so much civil unrest in the months ahead. On Monday, thousands of protesters gathered near the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C., and large protests were also being held in other major cities throughout the nation

 

Groups opposed to the agenda of President Donald Trump’s administration and presidential adviser Elon Musk were converging on cities across the nation Monday to express outrage with slogans such as “Not My President’s Day” and “No King’s Day.”

 

The rallies, led by the 50501 Movement and other organizations, come less than two weeks after the last round of widespread rallies and street marches.

 

“We witness, with growing alarm, how our constitutional rights are trampled upon, how the authority of the President is being usurped by those who seek to consolidate power for personal gain,” 50501 said in a statement on its website. “Meanwhile, President Trump systematically dismantles the very guardrails designed to ensure accountability across the branches of government.”

 

Our government has been showering people with money for a long time, but now the gravy train is coming to an end and those that have been enjoying the party are not pleased at all.

 

But the cuts that have been made so far are nothing compared to the seismic shock that would happen to our society if Social Security fraud is eliminated.

 

On Sunday, Elon Musk revealed that the number of “eligible” Social Security numbers greatly exceeds the total population of the country.

Elon Musk X-Tweet 1 screengrab (MSS Photo)

 

We are being told that there are more than 394 million “eligible” Social Security numbers in the system, but there are only 334 million people living in the United States.

 

How did that happen?

 

But it doesn’t end there.

 

There are apparently millions upon millions of people over the age of 100 that the Social Security database says are still alive. On Twitter, Musk joked that perhaps “there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security”.

Elon Musk X-Tweet 2 screengrab (MSS Photo)

 

Musk also posted a chart that shows how many “eligible” Social Security numbers exist for each age range.

Social Security Age Range Chart (MSS Photo)

 

According to this chart, somewhere around 20 million Americans that are 100 years of age or older are alive and eligible to receive Social Security benefits.

 

But the U.S. Census Bureau says that only about 101,000 Americans are 100 years of age or older…

 

As of 2024, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that approximately 101,000 Americans are aged 100 and older, representing about 0.03% of the total U.S. population, according to the Pew Research Center.

 

Individuals aged 110 and above are referred to as supercentenarians, a subgroup that is exceedingly rare. As of February 2025, the Gerontology Research Group reported that 136 Americans belong to this category.

 

Currently, the oldest living American is Naomi Whitehead, born on September 26, 1910, in Georgia, making her 114 years old. The longest-lived person in U.S. history is Sarah Knauss, who lived to be 119 years and 97 days, passing away on December 30, 1999.

 

Needless to say, something clearly doesn’t add up.

Stephen Miller has told Fox News that foreign nationals have been using fake Social Security numbers to steal billions of dollars in Social Security benefits.

 

But of course it isn’t just foreign nationals that have been doing this.

 

If the full extent of the fraud is uncovered, it will shake this nation to the core.

 

And if the fraudulent payments are stopped, those that are no longer raking in government checks every month will be exceedingly upset.

 

Meanwhile, Elon Musk and his DOGE team continue to uncover shocking things in other government agencies as well.

 

For example, the official DOGE account on Twitter just posted a long list of imminent government payments that were stopped from going out just in time…

 

– $10M for “Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcision”

– $9.7M for UC Berkeley to develop “a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise driven skills”

– $2.3M for “strengthening independent voices in Cambodia”

– $32M to the Prague Civil Society Centre

– $40M for “gender equality and women empowerment hub”

– $14M for “improving public procurement” in Serbia

– $486M to the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening,” including $22M for “inclusive and participatory political process” in Moldova and $21M for voter turnout in India

– $29M to “strengthening political landscape in Bangladesh”

– $20M for “fiscal federalism” in Nepal

– $19M for “biodiversity conversation” in Nepal

– $1.5M for “voter confidence” in Liberia

– $14M for “social cohesion” in Mali

– $2.5M for “inclusive democracies in Southern Africa”

– $47M for “improving learning outcomes in Asia”

– $2M to develop “sustainable recycling models” to “increase socio-economic cohesion among marginalized communities of Kosovo Roma, Ashkali, and Egypt”

 

On one level, you have got to be in awe of the scale of the waste that was going on under the Biden administration.

 

They were recklessly spraying millions upon millions of our tax dollars all over the globe, and much of that money was being spent on some of the stupidest things imaginable.

 

Here in the U.S., hundreds of millions of our tax dollars were being spent on DEI programs. But now DOGE is relentlessly cancelling those contracts

 

In just 48 hours, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) slashed a whopping $370 million in taxpayer dollars being spent on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at the Department of Education.

 

DOGE, the newly formed department led by Elon Musk to purge spending by the federal government, revealed in a post on X that they terminated 70 DEI training grants within the department.

 

According to DOGE, the grants totaled $373 million.

 

The Department of Education was basically one gigantic cesspool of waste.

 

Thankfully, change is in the air.

 

Things are changing at the CDC too. Now that RFK Jr. has been confirmed as HHS Secretary, he is quickly shedding staff

 

Robert Kennedy Jr. has slashed staffing at the Center for Disease Control in his new role as health chief, expanding the purge of government departments conducted by President Trump and Elon Musk. The newly confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services for President Donald Trump fired nearly half of the vaunted team of ‘disease detectives’ during his first day on the job, setting the scene for a slimmed down department moving forward.

 

Our federal government is being turned upside down, and the left is desperate to stop what is happening.

 

At this point, at least 74 separate federal lawsuits have been filed to stop what President Trump and Elon Musk are trying to do…

 

In nearly one month since President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, at least 74 lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against his administration’s wave of executive actions.

 

As of Monday, judges have temporarily paused 18 of these measures.

 

During his time in the White House, Joe Biden appointed 228 judges to the federal courts.

 

And the left is counting on those judges to slow down President Trump and Elon Musk.

 

But so much damage has already been done, and with each passing day the left is getting even angrier.

 

The protests that we have seen so far are just the tip of the iceberg. If Trump and Musk are able to successfully execute a hardcore crackdown on fraudulent payments, I am expecting that there will be extreme chaos in our streets.

 

Billions upon billions of dollars are at stake, and it shall be fascinating to see how all of this plays out.

Intro to JW, Soros & U.S. Taxpayers

John R. Houk
© December 5, 2018



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.

Judicial Watch has put together an exposé of Soros showing that his voluminous Left-Wing Globalist organizations are receiving taxpayer supported funding.

This man’s agenda is to destroy and transform America which should sound familiar to Barack Hussein Obama’s 2008 election night promise to his cadres:


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 never studied 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

Conservapedia is correctly hostile toward Soros:

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 Hillary Clinton, 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 feminismIslam, illegal drugsprostitution, 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 elitist whose 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]

JW Special Report: Government Funding of Soros Foundations


Email sent by Carter L. Clews, Director of Communications
Sent Dec 3, 2018, 1:47 PM

“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.

Please set aside the time to peruse this important document.

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
Director of Communications

PS: Any who still doubt illegal alien caravan-related activities funded by the Open Society Foundations should direct their attention to pages 19 – 23.

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.
