Judicial Watch Sues for More George Soros Documents

Hungarian-American George Soros became a billionaire from hedge funds he started, and also from short-selling pounds sterling during England’s currency crisis in 1992. That maneuver earned him $1 billion and the appellation, “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England.”

By 2018 he had only $8 billion in the bank, having given $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations, which support leftist causes in the United States and around the world.

You’d think he wouldn’t need your help. However, taxes you pay have been supporting this guy. Not surprising, as certainly the Obama administration was fond of using your tax dollars to fund leftwing organizations.

Judicial Watch already sued about his activities in Macedonia and Albania , as well. The former Prime Minister of Macedonia Nikola Gruevski reportedly called for a “ de-Sorosization ” of society. In February 2017,we reported that the U.S. government has quietly spent millions of taxpayer dollars to destabilize the democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia in collusion with Soros.

And now we’re investigating Soros efforts in Romania and Colombia with two new federal lawsuits.

We just filed FOIA lawsuits against both the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for records relating to their funding of the political activities of the Soros Open Society Foundations of Romania ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (No. 1:18-cv-00667)) and the Soros Open Society Foundations of Colombia ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv-00668)).

We filed the Romania lawsuit after State and USAID failed to substantively respond to our October 16, 2017, FOIA request seeking, among other records:

We filed the Colombia suit after State failed to respond to our October 23, 2017, FOIA request seeking among other records:

As in other parts of the world, a number of Soros-funded entities and projects in Romania are also funded by the United States Government. The Romanian Center for Independent Journalism, which is supported by the Open Society Institute in New York, recently received $17,000 from the State Department .

In February 2017, Laura Silber of Open Society Foundations reportedly condemned “illiberal governments” in the Balkans, such as Macedonia, Albania and Romania, for working against the Soros NGOs. In Romania, in March 2017, the leader of the governing party reportedly charged that the Soros foundations “that he has funded since 1990 have financed evil .”

Romania’s communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena were executed on Christmas Day, 1989. In the decades since, Soros and his affiliated organizations have exerted tremendous influence over politics in Romania. Numerous Romanian government officials, including former Justice Minister and European Parliament member Monica Macovei, have been closely aligned with Soros and graduated from his Central European University . Former presidential advisor and fellow Romanian member of the European Parliament Renate Weber was previously the chair of the Soros Foundations in Romania.

Soros’ NGOs in Colombia are reportedly receiving millions from USAID:

Verdad Abierta , a web-based portal created by Teresa Ronderos , director of the Open Society Program on Independent Journalism, boasts on its website that it receives support from USAID. Abierta has helped rewrite Colombia’s history, elevating terrorists to the same level as the legitimate police and military forces, and rebranding decades of massacres, kidnappings, child soldiering, and drug trafficking by a criminal syndicate as simply “ 50 years of armed conflict .”

Fundacion Ideas para la Paz , once led by peace negotiator Sergio Jaramillo, now a member of the oversight “junta,” is funded by the Open Society Foundations and has received more than $200,000 in U.S. tax dollars.

The left-wing news portal La Silla Vacia , another Open Society initiative, also boasts of being a USAID grantee. Its columnist, Rodrigo Uprimny , whose NGO DeJusticia also partners with USAID and Open Society, is considered one of the architects of the peace deal.

Former National Liberation Army terrorist Leon Valencia —Open Society collaborator and grantee—has received at least $1,000,000 in USAID funding through his NGOs Corporacion Nuevo Arco Iris and Paz y Reconciliacion, and left-wing news portal Las Dos Orillas , which he co-founded.

In 2016, Soros’ Open Society Foundations gave more than $3.3 million to organizations operating in Colombia. Several of those organizations have also been financially supported by the United States government, having received more than $5 million from the Department of State, USAID, and the Inter-American Foundation (a federal agency) in recent years. One of the Soros-funded entities, an LGBT advocacy organization, was also selected by the Inter-American Foundation as a partner organization in its Colombia peace project initiative .

We aren’t the only ones curious about all of this. In a March 2017, letter to Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, six U.S. Senators (Sens. Lee (R-UT), Inhofe (R-OK), Tillis (R-NC), Cruz (R-TX), Perdue (R-GA) and Cassidy (R-LA)) called on the secretary to investigate the relations between USAID and the Soros Foundations and how U.S. tax dollars are being used by the State Department and the USAID to support left-of-center political groups who seek to impose left-leaning policies in countries such as Macedonia and Albania.

It is high time for Americans to be allowed to see State Department documentation regarding the public funding of Soros’ Open Society Foundations. This billionaire needs zero assistance from taxpayers to promote his far-left agenda abroad.

Thank you for referencing that article jazusamo. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Not surprising, as certainly the Obama administration was fond of using your tax dollars to fund leftwing organizations."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Regarding Obama's spending, patriots are reminded that all roads of corruption in the federal government lead to Congress imo.

In this case, consider that lawless Obama allegedly illegally spent tax dollars, such taxes arguably state revenues that corrupt Congress stole from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.


Since the Founding States gave the “power of the purse” (1.7.1) uniquely to the House of Representatives, most of the blame regarding Obama’s unlawful spending of stolen state revenues should actually go to the RINO-controlled House imo.

Consider that post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification lawmakers arguably used Obama as its “useful idiot,” letting Obama get away with doing the unconstitutional spending that Congress probably wanted to do.

After all, by letting last-term Obama do their dirty work for them, lawmakers were able to keep their voting records clean.

And by keeping their voting records clean, lawmaker are able to fool low-information patriots, patriots who have probably never been taught about the fed’s constitutionally limited powers, into reelecting them.

This is why patriots need to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president.

More specifically, patriots now need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting, state sovereignty-respecting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, candidates who will be willing to put a stop to unconstitutional taxing and spending, and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day.

And until the states wake up and repeal the ill-conceived 17A, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of the outcome of Alabama's and Pennsylvania's special elections, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud and associated MSM scare tactics.

Soros intends to use his last dying breath and dollar, both his own and others,

to create as many storms as possible before he leaves this world.....

His quote..."Destroying America will be the culmination of my life's work"....(George Soros)
