With all of the focus on the alleged (yet never demonstrated, much less proved) connections between President Trump and Russia over the past year, the liberal mainstream media have bent over backwards to keep the attention off of the demonstrable (and likely soon to be proved) connections between Hillary Clinton and Russia. New reports may make it impossible to continue that ruse.
Hillary Clinton got quite a bit of political play out of calling Trump “Putin’s puppet” during debates and throughout the election cycle. In the end, though, her attacks missed their mark and she missed the necessary votes to secure the White House and the advent of a Clinton 2.0 presidency — an administration that would certainly have continued (and escalated) the corruption of the Clinton 1.0 presidency.
Newly released information confirms that it is Hillary Clinton — as secretary of state — and not Trump who can be shown to be “Putin’s puppet. The Hill, Fox News, Newsweek, and others are reporting that a deal between Clinton’s State Department and Russian interests that transferred 20 percent of U.S. uranium to Russian control involved bribery, collusion, and coverup. And Clinton’s fingerprints are all over it.
This confirms reports published by The New American even as the failed Clinton campaign and its accomplices in the liberal mainstream media continued to beat the stillborn horse of Trump/Russia collusion. In an article originally published in our print magazine and later published online, this writer addressed the evidence of “unethical, illegal, and corrupt behavior” revealed in the leaked Clinton campaign and DNC e-mails and documents published by WikiLeaks:

Those e-mails and documents serve as a box full of smoking guns against the DNC and Clinton campaign. A quick look at just a few of those smoking guns — any of which alone would be damning — illustrates why Clinton (with the help of the liberal media) wanted to keep the attention on the supposed source of the leak, rather than on what the e-mails show about Clinton and her comrades in the DNC....

As secretary of state, Clinton “reset” relations with Putin’s Russia, which helped the Clinton Foundation and its donors make millions of dollars off a deal that sold the mining company Uranium One (and 25 percent of our strategic uranium production) to Russia.

That report by The New American — in February — was published months before The Hill “broke” this story.

Now, more is known about that deal. And the more that comes out, the worse it looks for both Clinton and Obama: FBI and court documents show that the Obama-era FBI (under the “leadership” of ousted FBI Director James Comey) was aware that Putin’s regime in Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, according to a report by The Hill. As an aside, does anyone still think it was a mistake for Trump to fire Comey?
The evidence of bribes and kickbacks is not mere conjecture and innuendo (as in the case of allegations against Trump), but is solidly supported by “a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry” who gathered “extensive financial records,” made “secret recordings,” and intercepted “emails as early as 2009,” according to The Hill. Moreover:

They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.

The racketeering scheme was conducted “with the consent of higher level officials” in Russia who “shared the proceeds” from the kickbacks, one agent declared in an affidavit years later.

And yet — even with the FBI and other federal authorities being aware of this in 2009, the DOJ dragged the investigation out until 2015, allowing a deal to go through that transferred between 20 and 25 percent of U.S. uranium to Russia in the Uranium One deal that fattened the coffers of the Clinton Foundation, strengthened Putin’s Russia, and weakened the United States. For the anti-American element (for whom Clinton was the perfect candidate), that is a win/win/win scenario.
As Newsweek put it, “The Obama administration signed a controversial nuclear deal with Moscow despite prior FBI findings that Russian officials were bribing their way into the U.S. atomic energy industry, according to government documents just published by The Hill.”
So, while Hillary Clinton was using Russia as a bogeyman during the campaign by claiming that if Trump were elected, Putin would gain control of the United States, the reality is that she had — as secretary of state — already laid that groundwork. As president, she would likely have continued to build upon it, doing exactly what she accused Trump of planning to do.
As a result of this information coming to light, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is calling for his committee to conduct a real investigation into the Uranium One deal, the Obama administration, and Hillary Clinton. As Fox News is reporting:

Grassley on Wednesday released a series of letters he fired off last week to 10 federal agencies, addressing those issues in detail and raising the question of whether the committee that approved the transaction was aware of the FBI probe. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) included then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

At the beginning of a hearing with Attorney General Jeff Sessions today, Grassley said, “This committee has an obligation to get to the bottom of this issue.” So true. And the bottom of this issue could be a long way down for Clinton and Obama.
As for those Democrats who have been raising the roof calling for an end to “Russian collusion,” none appears to have come forward to celebrate this break in the case. It appears they are only interested in ending alleged collusion when it involves their opponent, but not actual collusion when it involves at least two of their darlings.
This is a developing story and The New American will continue to keep our readers updated.

 Documents Show Other Democrats, Not Just Clintons, on Russian Payroll

 Uranium One scandal threatens to bring down the entire Democratic Party

BY JEROME CORSI

SEE: https://www.infowars.com/documents-show-other-democrats-not-just-clintons-on-russian-payroll/; 

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – While the mainstream media continues to obsess over Paul Manafort and Gen. Michael Flynn’s supposed “Russian collusion,” totally ignored are the ties Tony Podesta, the brother of Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman John Podesta, had to both Uranium One and to Sherbank, Moscow’s largest state-run bank with close ties to international terrorism and to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As the Russians gained control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 through 2013, the Podesta Group was paid a total of $630,000 between 2010 and 2015 to represent Uranium One, the Russian-controlled firm with close financial ties to the Clinton Foundation that today controls 20 percent of all U.S. uranium produced.
Podesta ties to Russian Money, Putin, and Russian clandestine operations
 Among the revelations made public through the 11.5 million documents leaked by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists detailing the legal and financial arrangements behind secretive off-shore banking transactions dating back to the 1970s was the disclosure Russia’s largest bank, the state-owned Sherbank, uses the Podesta Group as its registered lobbyist in Washington.
“Sberbank (Savings Bank in Russian) engaged the Podesta Group to help its public image—leading Moscow financial institutions not exactly being known for their propriety and wholesomeness—and specifically to help lift some of the pain of sanctions placed on Russia in the aftermath of the Kremlin’s aggression against Ukraine, which has caused real pain to the country’s hard-hit financial sector,” wrote former National Security Agency analyst and counterintelligence officer John R. Schindler in an article entitled “Panama Papers Reveal Clinton’s Kremlin Connection” published by the Observer on April 7, 2016.
“It’s hardly surprising that Sberbank sought the help of Democratic insiders like the Podesta Group to aid them in this difficult hour, since they clearly understand how American politics work,” Schindler continued.
“The question is why the Podesta Group took Sberbank’s money,” Schindler asked. “That financial institution isn’t exactly hiding in the shadows—it’s the biggest bank in Russia, and its reputation leaves a lot to be desired. Nobody acquainted with Russian finance was surprised that Sberbank wound up in the Panama Papers.”
Schindler noted that since the 1990s, Sberbank has grown to be Russia’s dominant bank, controlling nearly 30 percent of Russia’s aggregate banking assets and employing a quarter-million people.  The majority stockholder in Sberbank is Russia’s Central Bank, making Sberbank functionally an arm of the Russian government, though officially Sberbank is a private institution.
“Certainly, Western intelligence is well acquainted with Sberbank, noting its close relationship with Vladimir Putin and his regime. Funds moving through Sberbank are regularly used to support clandestine Russian intelligence operations, while the bank uses its offices abroad as cover for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service or SVR,” Schindler pointed out.
A NATO counterintelligence official explained that Sberbank, which has outposts in almost two dozen foreign countries, “functions as a sort of arm of the SVR outside Russia, especially because many of its senior employees are ‘former’ Russian intelligence officers.” Inside the country, Sberbank has an equally cozy relationship with the Federal Security Service or FSB, Russia’s powerful domestic intelligence agency.
On April 17, 2014, the Moscow Times reported Ukraine opened criminal proceedings against Sberbank and 13 other banks on suspicion of “financing terrorism.”
Schindler noted the Ukrainian criminal infestation concluded Sberbank had distributed millions of dollars in illegal aid to Russian-backed separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine, with the bank serving as “a witting supporter of Russian aggression against Ukraine.”
On April 5, 2016Lachlan Markay reporting in the Washington Free Beacon published the lobbying registration form the Podesta Group filed with the U.S. government proving Sberbank had contracted with the Podesta Group to advance their interests with banking, trade, and foreign relations.
Markay further reported that according to the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a consortium of journalists exploring the Panama Papers leak, Sberbank and Troika Dialog have ties to companies used by members of Putin’s inner circle to funnel state resources into lucrative private investments.
“Some of these companies were initially connected to the Troika Dialog investment fund, which was controlled and run by Sberbank after the bank bought the Troika Dialog investment bank. Troika and Sberbank declined to comment,” Markay noted the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, concluded in a report published in April 2016.
On March 30, 2016, Politico reported the Podesta Group registered to lobby for the U.S. subsidiary of Sherbank to see if relief could be obtained for the bank in the easing of U.S. sanctions against Russia for Russia’s role in the Ukraine conflict.
The Podesta Group and the Russian uranium scam
As first documented in Peter Schweizer’s bestselling book “Clinton Cash,” and confirmed in Jerome Corsi’s bestselling book “Partners in Crime: The Clinton’s Scheme to Monetize the White House,” Uranium One directed millions to the Clinton Foundation as the Russian government gained ownership of the company.
New York Times reporters Jo Becker and Mike McIntire, in an article entitled “Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal,” that the newspaper printed on April 23, 2015, documented the tie between the Russians and the Clinton Foundation as the Uranium One deal evolved.
“As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation,” Becker and McIntire wrote.
“Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million,” the New York Times reporters continued.  “Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.”
Becker and McIntire further noted that shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.
CIFUS is the acronym for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the inter-agency committee of the U.S. government, operating out of the U.S. Treasury, that is responsible to review and authorize transactions of a U.S. business that could result in a foreign person or entity undermining U.S. national security interests.
As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton was a member of CIFUS and she was the only presidential candidate in 2008 to make an issue of the importance of strengthening CIFUS to protect U.S. economic sovereignty and national security.
In October 2010, CIFUS reviewed and approved the Rosatom acquisition of majority control in Uranium One before the deal was done.
In 2013, Rosatom acquired all remaining shares of Uranium One. Becker and McIntire estimated that by 2015, after getting CIFUS approval, the Russians ended up controlling one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
John Podesta served as Clinton Foundation CEO
According to a New York Times report published Aug. 13, 2013, in 2011, a wave of midlevel program staff members departed the Clinton Foundation, “reflecting the frustration of much of the foundation’s policy personnel with the old political hands running the organization.”
Around that time, in 2011, Bruce Lindsey, then the Clinton Foundation’s CEO, suffered a stroke, underscoring concerns about the foundation’s line of succession. John D. Podesta, a chief of staff in Mr. Clinton’s White House, stepped in for several months as temporary chief executive.
An earlier version of this report was published by Jerome R. Corsi, “Media Neglect Clinton-Linked Firm’s Role in Russia Scandal, WND.com, Sept. 28, 2016, http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/media-neglect-clinton-linked-firms-role-in-russia-scandal/.

Over the past four weeks, workers have been toiling (mostly in intense 90+ degree heat) to put final touches on eight possible versions of President Donald Trump’s long-promised border wall, ahead of an October 26 deadline to finish the prototype border-wall designs located just a few dozen years from the border that divides San Diego from Tijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded eight contracts to six companies to build the prototypes. Four are made of reinforced concrete, and another four incorporate additional construction materials. Construction began on Sept. 26, giving companies 30 days to finish, according to the Arizona Republic.
By Wednesday, five of the wall designs had already been completed and were fenced off with caution tape, but – as the following video shows – crews were still at work on others, installing vertical concrete panels on one design, using cranes and bulldozers to place them upright. Another two prototypes were in various stages of construction on the demonstration site, located about 2 miles east of San Diego’s Otay Mesa border crossing, in the foothills of the Otay Mountains. At roughly 30 feet, the designs dwarf the petite, primary fence that currently designates the international boundary — it’s made of rusted Vietnam War-era landing mats. They are also nearly twice the height of the secondary metal-mesh fence, which ends near where the prototypes are being built.

Their height, officials quoted by the AZ Republic said, is intended to make a statement to criminals and would-be unauthorized crossers: Stay away.
“The 30 feet is very impressive,” said Mario Villareal, the division chief for the San Diego Sector Border Patrol. “What we’re trying to accomplish is by putting tactical infrastructure on the border, by having all-weather roads, by putting Border Patrol agents on the immediate border is the deterrence.”

Of course, whether the border-wall prototypes “keep people away”, is what matters, and will be closely scrutinized in the coming weeks. After they are done, CBP will move to the “test and evaluation” of each of the eight structures.
What do the prototypes look like?

One built by a Maryland company uses concrete at the base with the top two-thirds featuring blue metal panels. Another, built by an Alabama company, has a wide concrete base that gives way to a thinner frame halfway up the structure.  Also, only one of the completed designs incorporates see-through features that would allow Border Patrol agents to monitor activity on the other side of the border.
Initially, Trump called for a solid reinforced concrete design, and several of the finished prototypes seemed to fit that description. Under advisement from CBP, the administration later included “see-through features” in its call for submissions. A second design by the Alabama company features metal bars for the first half of the prototype, narrowly spaced and resembling the bollard-style fencing commonly used at the border in Arizona’s urban areas. But the top half has what appears to be solid concrete panels.
Quoted by the AZ Republic, Border Patrol Agent Theron Francisco said the ability to see across the border can be beneficial. It’s an option they don’t have now with landing-mat fencing in the area. “It’s good to be able to see through the south side. We can see them, they can see us,” he said. “But in a way, it can be negative because we’re always being watched. They always can see us. It goes both ways.” Meanwhile, the concrete design is made up of three long, concrete frames that gently slope upward from the U.S. side, but are completely vertical on the south side. The concrete is a light tan, nearly the same color as the dusty soil it stands on.
The cost of eight contracts ranges from $320,000 to $480,000. CBP has already appropriated the funds to pay for them. However, funding for additional construction is still up in the air and remains the object of major political disagreement in Congress.
And until we find out if Trump’s wall will ever amount to anything more than a pipe dream, here is drone footage taken earlier today of the Border Wall prototypes.

AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI CALLS TRUMP "RETARDED", "FOUL MOUTHED" OVER IRAN DEAL

 

AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI CALLS TRUMP "RETARDED", "FOUL MOUTHED" OVER IRAN DEAL

 Iran’s supreme leader has pilloried Donald Trump with 
degrading epithets in his latest speech following the US President’s 
refusal to recertify the nuclear deal. Trump is, according to Ayatollah 
Ali Khamenei, “foul-mouthed”, uttering “nonsense,” and “suffering from 
retardation”.

The rogue, jihadist regime of Iran had it good with Barack Obama, and became increasingly emboldened as the former administration continuously relented to Iran’s dictates. Obama not only signed on to the disastrous Iranian deal but then secretly airlifted 400 million dollars in “ransom” to Iran for a prisoner exchange which the Democrats at first denied before going on to call it “a deal for taxpayers.” Then there was the $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed before the 1979 fall of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
In other words, the Obama Administration was pumping big bucks into Iran with full knowledge of its jihadist proxies, its goal to obliterate Israel, and the apocalyptic vision of its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
According to an expose by the Washington Free Beacon, former Obama officials and loyalists then went so far as to wage a secret campaign to oust former national security adviser Michael Flynn in order to preserve the Iranian deal.
So there should be little wonder that Khamenei would resort to his own “foul-mouthed” temper tantrum over Trump’s refusal to re-certify the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (aka the Iran Deal), leaving the regime nervous over the future of its aggressive quest to expand its regional and global powers.

“‘Foul-mouthed’ Trump suffers from ‘retardation’ – Iran’s supreme leader”, RT News, October 19, 2017:

Iran’s supreme leader has pilloried Donald Trump with degrading epithets in his latest speech following the US President’s refusal to recertify the nuclear deal. Trump is, according to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “foul-mouthed”, uttering “nonsense,” and “suffering from retardation”.
“The President of the United States displays nonsense; however, this should not lead us to ignore the mischief of the US regime,” Khamenei told a group of students and academic elites on Wednesday, according to his website.
Khamenei declined to comment on Trump’s “irrational behaviour towards Iran,” saying that it would be “a waste of time to respond to such blatherings and nonsensical remarks by the foul-mouthed US President.”

The supreme leader claimed that the US President and his team were “suffering from retardation because they do not understand the developments in Iran and the region.”
Last week, the US President proceeded with his disavowal of the Iran deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and refused to recertify Tehran’s compliance with the agreement. Later, Trump added that there was “a very real possibility” that the deal would be terminated altogether.
Khamenei said that the pact “serves its interests.”
“We will not tear up the deal before the other party does: if they tear up JCPOA, we shred it,” he cautioned.

The supreme leader went on to urge the European nations that are also signatories to the agreement “to stand up against the US measures” such as sanctions, which “they anticipate to emerge from Congress.”
Trump referred the matter to American lawmakers, who have 60 days to decide whether to re-impose sanctions on Tehran, which were lifted in exchange for capping its nuclear program under the deal.
“They want to take back young, faithful and developed Iran to 50 years ago,” Khamenei added, saying that this was not possible.
“Due to backwardness, they are incapable of understanding this reality, and for this reason they have made a miscalculation and suffered, and will suffer successive defeats at the hands of the Iranian nation,” the supreme leader continued…..

AIR FORCE COLONEL PUNISHED FOR DECLINING TO SIGN DOCUMENT AFFIRMING AIRMAN'S SAME SEX "MARRIAGE"

 

AIR FORCE COLONEL PUNISHED FOR DECLINING TO SIGN DOCUMENT AFFIRMING AIRMAN'S 

SAME SEX "MARRIAGE"

 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An Air Force colonel was recently punished for declining to 

sign a document affirming a retiring subordinate’s same-sex “marriage.”

Col. Leland Bohannon, who serves at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, found himself in a predicament in May when he was handed a number of awards and certificates to sign for a master sergeant’s retirement ceremony. Among the certificates was a “certificate of spouse appreciation,” which is an optional document of recognition.
Because the master sergeant is an a homosexual relationship, Bohannon did not feel as a Christian that he should sign the certificate, as it would be a gesture of affirmation. He signed all of the other awards and certificates, and requested a religious accommodation from his superior for the spouse appreciation certificate.
The request was returned six weeks later “without action,” and in the meantime, Maj. Gen. Sami Said offered to sign the certificate instead. Bohannon agreed.

However, when the master sergeant discovered that Bohannon did not personally sign the spouse appreciation certificate, he filed an Equal Opportunity complaint, claiming that Bohannan discriminated against him.
Following an investigation, it was determined by Brig. Gen. Paul Tibbets in August that even though he sought a religious accommodation, Bohannon was guilty of violating Air Force regulations by discriminating on the basis of “sexual orientation.”
As a result of the findings of an Equal Opportunity investigator, Lt. Gen. Anthony Rock suspended Bohannon from his command position, withheld decoration and submitted a letter recommending that Bohannon not receive the brigadier general promotion for which he is eligible.

Bohannon has now obtained assistance from the religious liberties organization First Liberty in filing an appeal of the determination.
“[T]here is no requirement that a commander issue a spouse certificate. Moreover, the instruction does not require the commander to personally sign a certificate, should one be issued,” the appeal letter, written by attorney Michael Berry, reads. “Yet the MSgt’s spouse nevertheless received a signed spouse certificate bearing the signature of a two-star general, far superior than one signed by Col. Bohannon.”
“In essence, the MSgt’s complaint is that the person of his choosing did not sign the certificate,” it notes, “even though the certificate presented was in fact superior as a result of Col. Bohannon’s efforts to balance his sincerely-held religious beliefs with the need to serve all airmen regardless of their beliefs.”
First Liberty believes that Tibbets’ determination is faulty, as he had asserted that a religious accommodation would not have changed the discrimination conclusion.
“Moreover, the EO investigator’s statement that ‘even if [a religious accommodation] were granted, excusing [Col. Bohannon] from signing a spouse certificate for same sex marriages, it would not apply in this case’ defies comprehension,” Berry wrote. “Such a position renders religious accommodations meaningless.”
“The primary purpose of a religious accommodation is to provide a legal justification for engaging, or refusing to engage, in particular conduct that is motivated by sincerely-held religious beliefs,” he contended. “Religious accommodations exist to avoid placing service members in the religious and moral dilemma of having to violate their religious convictions in order to serve.”
Read the appeal letter in full here.
First Liberty says that it is prepared to take legal action should the Air Force not overturn the determination.

 George Soros Dumps His Fortune into War 

on America, Humanity

    Billionaire globalist George Soros (shown) has transferred the bulk of his wealth — almost $18 billion — to his Open Society Foundations, a sprawling global network of entities and front groups pushing everything from globalism and Big Government to abortion, racial hatred, radical politicians, nationalized police, Hillary Clinton, mass Islamic migration, illegal war, and open borders. Some analysts have suggested that the massive transfer of funds was a scheme to avoid the estate tax. However, the deeply controversial extremist and self-styled “god,” now 87-years old, is also reported to be laying the foundation for his anti-freedom agenda — described by Soros as a “New World Order” that the mass-murdering Communist Chinese regime will “own” — to be perpetuated with his billions long after he meets his Maker.
Either way, the globalist establishment now has even more funds to wage war on America, liberty, the U.S. Constitution, humanity, gun rights, unborn babies, Christianity, morality, national sovereignty, self-government, conservatives, and other longtime targets of Soros and his minions. Indeed, Soros' “philanthropic” outfit is now the second largest in the United States, behind the ideologically incestuous Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Without a surge in giving by conservative and liberty-minded donors, analysts say American patriots, conservatives, libertarians, and constitutionalists may find themselves on the losing end of even more political battles in the years ahead. Reports said Soros was expected to transfer billions more to his network in the years ahead. 
    News of Soros transferring most of his fortune to his foundation was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Within hours, the news was making headlines worldwide. According to reports, the $18 billion represents more than three fourths of his total net worth, estimated at around $23 billion. It is one of the largest “transfers of wealth” ever made by a single person to a single foundation, the leftist New York Times reported. (Soros is intimately involved with his foundation.) For perspective, one analyst noted that the transfer was about the size of Afghanistan's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Another pointed out that $18 billion is about three times more than all spending by all political parties, in all races combined, during the 2016 election. In short, with an $18 billion war chest, Soros' minions will be able to wreak a lot of havoc.
Even fellow globalist foundation bigwigs acknowledge that Soros' network is the most powerful on the planet when it comes to influence. “There is no foundation in the world, including the Ford Foundation, that has had more impact around the world than the Open Society Foundations in the last two decades,” Darren Walker, president of the globalist, CIA-linked Ford Foundation, was quoted as saying by the globalist New York Times. “Because there is no part of the world that they have not been. Their footprint is deeper, wider and more impactful than any other social justice foundation in the world.” The term “social justice,” when used by establishment globalists and their propaganda organs, generally refers to globalism and Big Government.
Despite posing as a “philanthropist,” Soros has used his money mostly to spread an anti-freedom, anti-life, anti-Christian agenda around the world. According to media reports, he has showered his money on organizations across more than 100 countries. He has also bankrolled multiple bloody “revolutions” around the world, not to mention revolutionary organizations. And while far-left establishment propaganda organs help perpetuate the claim that Soros promotes “democracy” and “human rights,” they rarely discuss the dark underbelly of his “philanthropy,” or the dark truth about Soros himself. Consider: Soros even said in a TV interview that he had no feelings of guilt for his role helping National Socialists (Nazis) steal Jewish property as a youngster.
While describing himself as “some sort of god” and boasting openly of his atheism, Soros has funded multiple outfits and initiatives aimed at undermining Christianity and corrupting Christian teachings on marriage, life, and more. As this magazine documented last year, Soros was caught showering money on pseudo-Christian groups that aimed to promote abortion, homosexuality, the European Union's ongoing destruction of nations and self-government, and much more — within the church. A leaked memo from Soros’ foundation even outlined a plot to co-opt Catholic officials and push Soros' views within the Catholic Church and within the Christian world more broadly by funding front groups that would battle conservative Christians.
Soros also funds groups such as “Catholics for Choice,” which promotes the slaughter of unborn children, while targeting for political upheaval nations with laws protecting babies from abortion. “With one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world, a win there [in Ireland] could impact other strongly Catholic countries in Europe, such as Poland, and provide much needed proof that change is possible, even in highly conservative places,” explained another leaked document from Soros' vast network, outlining a subversive plan to overturn the section of Ireland's Constitution that enshrines the right to life of unborn children in a bid to spark a global domino effect.
Other efforts to neutralize and hijack Christian churches emerged in the socially conservative Christian nation of Georgia. As The New American reported last year, Soros, with additional support provided by unwitting Western taxpayers, was caught showering money on Orthodox pastors and churches there to “train” them in the alleged benefits of surrendering national sovereignty and self-government in exchange for rule by the increasingly autocratic European Union. To that end, Soros funded an Astro-Turf group called, ironically, the “Center for Development and Democracy,” to co-opt Georgia's churches and pastors to serve the globalist EU agenda.
In the United States, Soros and his minions have funded a broad range of political agendas as well, ranging from abortion giant Planned Parenthood, which snuffs out the lives of hundreds of thousands of babies each year, to Black Lives Matter, a radical leftist group with leaders who openly praise communists and organize protests that advocate the murder of police. Soros has also helped finance Occupy Wall Street and efforts to nationalize local and state police departments, documents show. Soros pumps money directly into political campaigns, too, with the billionaire globalist dumping millions on both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
But in parts of the world, including the United States, the public is beginning to wake up. In Hungary, for instance, political leaders have accused Soros of improperly meddling in nations' affairs, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban even accusing Soros of being a “political puppet master” whose machinations have “ruined the lives of tens of millions of people.” That may be an underestimate, considering Soros' giant globalist footprint everywhere from Syria and Libya to Ukraine and beyond. Aside from the role of his foundation in advocating for the illegal wars and interventionism that have destroyed so many countries, Soros has also attracted outrage across Europe for encouraging and bankrolling the tsunami of Islamic immigration in recent years. “National borders are the obstacle,” he famously said.  
As for what sort of world Soros hopes to eventually see as a result of his “philanthropy,” his own statements, along with those of other like-minded establishment globalists, offer a powerful indication of just how totalitarian that vision really is. In 2009, for instance, Soros called for the communist regime ruling mainland China to “own” what he referred to as the “New World Order.” Speaking to the Financial Times, the self-styled philanthropist declared that the United States and the U.S. dollar were on their way down, and that the Communist Party regime must step up to the plate. “I think you really need to bring China into the creation of a new world order,” Soros said, without noting that the regime has murdered more people than any other in human history. “I think you need a new world order, that China has to be part of the process of creating it and they have to buy in, they have to own it in the same way as the United States owns … the current order.”
It was hardly a slip up. The next year, while receiving the Globalist of the Year award from the Canadian International Council, Soros again called for China to play a lead role in the emerging global-governance regime. “They have now got to accept responsibility for world order and the interests of other people as well,” declared Soros. “Today, China has not only a more vigorous economy, but actually a better functioning government than the United States.” As this magazine has documented extensively for decades, Soros is hardly the only senior globalist who has been openly celebrating and promoting the rise of Communist China’s rulers as key players in their emerging “New World Order.” From Beijing to Moscow and Washington, D.C., to London, globalists are all openly pushing for this new order.
While the self-styled “god” is often portrayed by the establishment media as a business-savvy but charitable tycoon who made smart investments through his hedge fund, his well-documented connections to the unfathomably wealthy Rothschild banking dynasty are rarely mentioned. Indeed, with Soros consistently making the right bets at the right time, more than a few of his critics have suggested that it may not be all business acumen. In fact, while he maintains his innocence, Soros has already been convicted of insider trading — the only question is just how much of his success was due to illegal help from other insiders, and whether that “help” was offered in exchange for his cooperation in promoting globalism, statism, and global revolution.
Either way, as The New American magazine's William F. Jasper documented extensively earlier this year, Soros the wannabe “god” appears to have violated a broad range of state and federal laws in his fiendish quest to create his diabolical global order. “It is our contention that the prima facie evidence of criminal activity by George Soros and those he funds is sufficient to demand official investigations — by Congress, the U.S. Department of Justice, and state attorneys general,” Jasper wrote. Concerned Americans should look at the evidence and ask their elected representatives to do the same.
