I’ll say it again, Soros should be banned from this country – like Qaradawi was. And his filthy lucre should most certainly be prohibited from influencing American elections.
Nazi collaborator George Soro described his work confiscating property from the Jews during the round ups of World War II as “the happiest days of my life,”
Soros found his or an end run around rule of law.
The global left is waging a vicious war against this country.
Soros bankrolls dark money hub for activists pushing to dismantle police, grants show
Progressive activist hub contains materials on abolishing, defunding police
By Joe Schoffstall | Fox News
Liberal billionaire George Soros has poured millions of dollars into a dark money hub used by far-left activists pushing to dismantle the police, grants show.
The Foundation to Promote Open Society, a nonprofit in Soros’ network, pushed $3 million to the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability (CRH) in 2020, according to a search of the Open Society Foundations’ grant database.
CRH is a clearinghouse of resources for local progressive activists on how to best deal with police reform efforts, including materials on abolishing and defunding the police. The hub sits under the umbrella of the most prominent dark money network in the U.S., tax forms show.
Of Soros’ funding, $2 million went toward creating a “budgeting Academy program” to “train community safety advocates in how to advocate around their local municipal budgets,” the grants show. The remaining $1 million was for general support.
Soros’ nonprofit previously sent $1.5 million to the resource center in 2019. Of that, $500,000 went toward establishing the hub, tax forms show.
Soros’ funding of CRH is yet another instance showing how his cash funds efforts to reshape the justice system. For years, Soros has showered district attorney races with money, oftentimes backing the most progressive candidate. His nonprofit empire has devoted hundreds of millions toward racial equality, including tens of millions for local efforts for criminal justice reform.
CRH describes itself “as a resource for local advocates and organizers working to address the harms of policing in the U.S.” that seeks to “cultivate community safety and accountability outside of the criminal legal system.”
The hub provides research, reports, data, model policies, toolkits and “other resources to the field” and supports campaigns with technical assistance needs, according to its website.
Among those materials is a 24-page memo CRH wrote that “reviews alternatives to policing in the context of police abolitionist frameworks, offering insights and sharing successful strategies for advocates in the field.”
The memo is one of more than 700 resources on the site. CRH notes that it does not necessarily support or endorse all materials in its hub.
Several far-left groups contribute materials, including No Cop Academy, Cops Off Campus Coalition and The Digital Abolitionist, all of which provide resources marked under its “abolitionist” tab.
Its website further shows that CRH directly works on projects concerning police defunding. The hub “houses and staffs” the website defundpolice.org in partnership with several national movement organizations.
CRH hosts weekly two-hour “invest/divest learning communities” that are attended by 40 to 60 organizers across the country focused on “Budget Advocacy, Community-Based Safety Strategies, Police Fraternal Association Contracts, and Reparations for police violence.”
The hub also hosts a Defund Police Fellowship that supports 16 fellows in 13 cities with money to support organizing staff. It also “offers monthly trainings and skill building sessions, weekly office hours with budget, campaign strategy, and communications experts, and a peer mentor program,” its website states.
According to the Soros group’s tax forms, CRH is a fiscally sponsored project of the New Venture Fund, a nonprofit incubator managed by the Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors.
The New Venture Fund provides its tax and legal status to groups it houses, meaning that projects under its umbrella do not have to file tax forms to the IRS that would show information such as board members and financial information.
The New Venture Fund raked in $965 million in anonymous donations in 2020, Fox News previously reported. It is one of four funds Arabella Advisors manages, along with the Sixteen Thirty Fund, Windward Fund and Hopewell Fund.
The four funds in the Arabella-managed dark money network pulled in a combined $1.6 billion in secret donations last year, tax forms show.
But while none of the funds disclose donors on their tax forms, Soros’ nonprofit outright states the cash is going to the New Venture Fund to be passed off to the CRH.
The CRH and the Open Society Foundations did not respond to requests for comment.
Soros’ funding for the project comes on the heels of his years-long efforts to elect progressive prosecutors in dozens of cities around the country.
“These are little-noticed offices; you don’t have to spend very much money to get elected to a prosecutors’ office,” Charles Fain Lehman, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, told Fox News.
“When you do, you have an enormous influence over who actually gets prosecuted and charged with crimes,” Lehman said. “You can rule out whole classes of crimes of meriting prosecution.”
Lehman said Soros’ funding helped candidates “easily grab” the prosecutor position in several cities.
Parker Thayer, a researcher at the Capital Research Center, estimated that Soros has dropped $28 million into prosecutor races since 2015.
Soros’ Open Society Foundations also devoted $220 million in 2020 to a racial equality push, which included $70 million for local efforts geared toward criminal justice reform.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called COVID Act Now. The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...
Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
