Vivek Ramaswamy's Soros connection: Why hasn't Ramaswamy come clean on taking a Soros scholarship in 2011?
American Thinker ^ | 07/09/2023 | Bob Ryan

Posted on 07/09/2023 5:40:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

When looking at potential candidates running for office without a voting record to base judgment on, I look for red flags.

To me, voting records are the best indicators.

I knew exactly who Mitt Romney and Ted Cruz were when they ran for president due to known quantities, which was the reason I did not vote for Romney and did vote for Cruz in the primaries.

Without voting records, candidates can say anything they wish, without a single vote to prove anything. This is the political unknown where Vivek Ramaswamy comes from.

Beyond being a Hindu, which in my mind means that Ramaswamy cannot hold the Judeo-Christian views this nation was founded on, there are serious red flags that attach him to Soros.

In 2011, Ramaswamy was the beneficiary of the Soros Fellowship, which was used help cover the costs at Yale for a future law degree.

His connection to anything Soros related raises serious red flags, especially with Ramaswamy never bringing up that connection.

Rather than addressing that questionable connection, he chooses to pretend as if he was never a beneficiary of Soros.

And it seems that his ties to Soros have continued beyond 2011:

Through a link at the Soros Fellowship on news and events for 2020:

“Roivant Sciences announced today that it is working with regulators in the United States and around the world to advance the clinical development of Gimsilumab, an anti-body that could prevent and treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which has been widely connected to the COVID-19 virus. 2011 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow Vivek Ramaswamy, the child of immigrants from India, is the CEO and founder of Roivant Sciences.”

I won't be voting for Vivek R, but this particular objection seems ridiculous. I'm not trying to elect a pastor to the White House, I don't need a saint, I don't need someone familiar with "Judeo-Christian views" (and somehow I suspect the author wouldn't be just fine with a Jewish candidate either).

One's worldview is a critical factor in how we determine good from evil, right from wrong. One's faith or lack thereof contributes greatly to molding one's worldview.

As of now, the three candidates I want to see winning the White House in 2024 are either Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley.

Just out of curiosity, I would like to see a list of other prominent conservatives who have accepted money from George Soros or one of his front organizations. You know, just to establish the precedence.

And when I say prominent conservative, I mean somebody who generally gets good reviews from Freepers.

PDJT’s senior advisor Jared K. is pretty tight with Soros too {for a lot more than scholarship level money ;-) }:

I hear he voted for Obama. That’s a pretty big deal breaker right there.

So it looks as though the knives are coming out for Vivek, as he starts to be a SERIOUS THREAT to DeSantis for the #2 position in the Republican race.

So I took a look at Mr. Ryan’s (the author) posting history, and it contains this gem: “If the United States militarily enters Ukraine, which is required by that 1994 agreement”. He goes on to claim he has some top secret knowledge that if US troops went in, it would NOT lead to a nuclear escalation.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/03/why_american_support_for_ukraines_forces_will_not_trigger_wwiii.html

The conclusion that we are REQUIRED to enter Ukraine would even make the Neocons, who started this war, blush.

Hence we have our answer. Ryan cannot do anything regarding Trump’s popularity, but the LAST THING the Neocons and GOPe want are the TOP TWO Republican candidates wanting peace for Ukraine (which is why they had to quickly flip DeSantis on the issue).

Do these outliers really think they have a prayer of winning the White House? I mean, we’re not going to run out of Old White Guys for quite a few more decades, are we?

...much to Hillary’s! displeasure, LOL!

“This has been one of the reasons I would not be able to support this guy at this time.”

Right now I’ll claim to support Vivek, if ever polled, just to help get him into second place. If, somehow, he became the candidate, then I’d look at him much more closely, remembering that back in 2011 the WEF was thought of more as a ‘networking opportunity’ albeit with a bunch of idealists talking about ‘transforming society’, with everyone thinking, “well, that’s all cute, but what power do you have”. Now they have that power, by getting their people installed throughout Europe.

Also remember that the WEF Enemy Number 1, by far, is former WEF young leader, Putin, who is now the ONE PERSON who has a credible chance of STOPPING their agenda, dead in its tracks.

Attack articles like this prove Vivek is starting to gain some traction in the crowded GOP field.

If you haven’t listened to this guy you should. He’s a bright spot, like Trump in many ways. Good business mind, fully MAGA, actually looking to go further in the right direction. He’s an anti leftist warrior. In a similar manner to Trump. This “report” is BS.

I have learned that there are people that were invited to attend a WEF meeting and were pictured as young global leaders that were there once but that does not mean they became one of them.

Vivek is relatively new and I think he knows he isn’t going to win. He just wants to be noticed for the future.

The jury is still out regarding Vivek for me.

Having listened to him and how he seems to be wired, he's a great addition to the GOP field. The only other one I trust so far. Bright, great ability to persuade others about the greatness of American principles.

He should surpass RDS in the polls after the first debate and people see how good he is.

“The jury is still out regarding Vivek for me.”

Same here, but the jury is ‘in’ for me regarding the rest of the non-Trump pack, and I suspect the same for you.

The thing about Vivek displacing DeSantis is that having the top two candidates wanting the Ukraine War to end just may WAKE UP a few more of the elected Republicans that the MAGA base is not very hot on World War 3, and they’ll put an end to it, as they have the power to do so.
