Who is George Soros? Part two.
Who is George Soros?
I want to start off by saying if you’re new here, welcome and thank you. Odds are, you’ve probably been watching my videos for a while, and now with this newsletter, I can connect with you in a way where I won’t be censored. The format for this thing goes as follows:
I write about whatever the fuck
Read my first sixteen to learn about things ranging from our pedophilic politicians to the creation of football and our pedophilic politicians again. Please DM me on TikTok or Instagram if you want me to cover a topic.
Hey Birdlaw, Why Don’t People Like George Soros?
In part one of this series, I explained who George Soros is, and how he made his billions. If you don’t feel like reading all that, here’s a refresher: Soros placed highly leveraged bets on currency rates and commodity prices using macroeconomic analysis. He basically shorted the currencies of entire countries, which, in many cases, led to economic recessions (he was also very good at identifying other macroeconomic trends, too). As I wrote in part one, I don’t hate Soros for this; if anything, it’s the same as Trump finding loopholes in the US tax code not to pay taxes.
I don’t like when pro-Vivek-Ramaswamy-type Republicans come at Soros for shorting currencies and then turn around and praise other Wall Street bros who place highly leveraged short-term bets that affect people negatively. Inconsistent morals that are used when it’s convenient are a sign of brain rot. There are plenty of reasons not to like Soros, but if you’re a complete believer in every single consequence of absolute capitalism (good or bad), you can’t shit on him for playing inside its parameters. Now, if you believe in capitalism but also subscribe to the idea that private equity firms should be reined in, or if you’re a socialist, George Soros making massive gains off the backs of working-class people in other countries is fair to criticize.
Now that that’s out of the way, why does George Soros suck? Why does my alt-right brother get drunk and call him a lizard in a skinsuit? Those are the questions we’ll be answering today.
Philanthropy:
On the left side of the political pendulum, almost nobody has more influence than George Soros. Soros is everywhere; he’s in the shit-riddled streets of San Francisco, the headlines of the Associated Press, and the minds of thousands of non-binary white women across campuses on both coasts. Since COVID, Soros has given just shy of half a billion dollars to Democratic campaigns and causes. Last year, Soros personally donated $178 million during the 2022 midterms to Democrat candidates, kicking in another $140 million the year before through his nonprofit network. And this is where George Soros’ bullshit begins, with the word nonprofit.
When a normal person thinks of a nonprofit, we think of an organization that raises funds for African villages without clean drinking water or an area wiped out by a natural disaster. A quick Google search will tell you that Soros has donated $32 billion through his nonprofit network, The Open Society Foundations, but this needs key context. You see, there are many different kinds of nonprofit organizations. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit is what we usually think of when we think of a charitable or religious organization, like the Red Cross or The Salvation Army. People can donate to these organizations and use their donations as a tax write-off. Everybody wins this way (most of the time): people in need get funding, the people who work for the nonprofit get a little bit of money they can use for their livelihoods, and the donors don’t get taxed on the income they donated. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit cannot lobby members of Congress, fund political campaigns, or even endorse a political candidate.
George Soros’ Open Society Foundations are 501(c)(4) nonprofits, meaning they can engage in political lobbying and fund members of Congress. By setting up his nonprofit empire this way, Soros gets a tax write-off (between 2017 and 2018 he transferred eighteen billion dollars of his own wealth into his foundations, saving him over three billion in taxes), he gets to look altruistic (according to the internet he’s one of the world’s greatest philanthropists), and he is a Kingmaker in Washington DC. According to Soros, his nonprofits serve to bring us all closer to an open society, something he has claimed is his greatest goal in life. Soros’ idea of an open society stems from his old professor Karl Popper’s appropriately named book The Open Society and Its Enemies. An open society, a world without tribalism and fascism, seems great on the surface, but as you’ll soon find out, Soros’ actions directly contradict those objectives.
The Media:
In America, most of us are either too stupid to care or understand global events and their impact on us, too busy to follow closely, or too obsessed with agreeing with one side on every single issue. Finding a critical thinker in our retarded country is about as rare as seeing a black guy score a goal in the NHL; you’ll encounter it, but not often. The media obviously plays a big role in determining how people will feel about any given matter because it’s their job to take concepts that would be very difficult for your average working American to understand and make them digestible (most of the time with bias). Own the media, own the public (at least half of it, anyway).
So, where does the media fit in George Soros’ $32 billion donation pie? From 2016 to 2020, Soros gave at least $131 million to influence at least 253 journalism and activist media groups. To put this in perspective, during my time working for an all-media Venture Capital firm, I made seventy thousand dollars a year at my peak. $131 million is more than enough money to make at least half of the people who follow me on TikTok do blackface next to Justin Trudeau without remorse and convince Greg Price to go trans at the same time.
Let’s start with the small fries. Soros’ Open Society Foundations shelled out $5.5 million to the nonprofit Accelerate Action Inc. in 2020 and 2021 — which in turn gave at least $300,000 in 2022 to another nonprofit, Gen Z for Change. This means that almost all of these Tik Tokers, many of you’ve seen before, were partly funded by George Soros (and other wealthy Democrat donors). But Soros isn’t just trying to get sixteen-year-olds to scream about abortion on a Chinese children’s app; he’s everywhere.
NPR has received nearly $1.8 million from Soros in the past to hire up to 100 new reporters, Soros and an investment group he’s linked to own VICE, Soros Fund Management bought $194 million of ViacomCBS (CBS, Simon and Schuster, ect.), Soros has given Media Matters (the people always writing Dave Portnoy hit pieces) at least one million dollars, ProPublica (the supposed heroes of the free press) have received at least half a million from Soros, and the list goes on and on.
But the scariest part of George Soros’ influence on the media isn’t even the direct funding; it’s the favors he’s owed. Soros has given almost ten million dollars to the Columbia School of Journalism. Their President, Lee Bollinger, sat on the board of directors for The Washington Post for fifteen years and is a very well-respected man at the newspaper. This relationship means that any time Soros wants a story published (or not published in many cases) at one of the largest newspapers in the country, he is one phone call away from making it happen. Bollinger is one of many people in the media that owe big favors to George Soros.
CBS’s Margaret Brennan and CNN’s Fareed Zakaria serve on the board of the massively influential Council on Foreign Relations, a Soros-backed think tank specializing in US foreign policy. CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and former Washington Post editor (now Vice President) Len Downie serve on boards of operations that take Soros’ cash. Publications that employ journalists serving on Soros-funded boards include The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Baltimore Sun, CNN, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, ABC News, The Sacramento Bee, and countless more.
The best way to describe Soros’ influence on the media is this: In 2011, a book was written about George Soros, and Soros was allowed to write the introductory chapter. In the chapter, Soros came after Fox News (another corrupt media organization that isn’t Soros-related) by saying, another trick is to accuse your opponent of the behavior of which you are guilty, like Fox News accusing me of being the puppet master of a media empire. Want to know who wrote that book about George Soros? Chuck Sudetic, a man who worked at The New York Times for half a decade and who now works for Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
From Gen Z Tik Tokers to The Wall Street Journal, George Soros has his finger over the button of almost every single left-leaning publication, with the exception of leftist websites and media companies that do real work, like investigating one-percenters from both parties.
DAs:
A district attorney is a greatly important job, especially in a city (if you’ve seen Suits, you should know this). They represent the government in criminal cases and are responsible for ensuring that justice is served by:
Prosecuting individuals accused of committing crimes.
Protecting those affected by crimes.
Preventing crimes from happening again.
Prosecutors also have the ability to give people second chances. On paper, this sounds humane and just. Giving someone stuck in a poverty cycle a chance to redeem themselves through government programs is moral.
But giving people a second chance should probably be case by case, right? When people get a second chance, prosecutors must ensure they’re fully rehabilitated because problems will only worsen if they do not. If everybody got a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth chance, then cities would be rampant with crime, and DAs looking to make a name for themselves would make decisions based on trying to look racist. This is because the real power for a district attorney comes later in life, usually in politics (like our Vice President Kamala Harris, who was the DA of San Francisco).
In 2006, Soros became interested in funding local politics, and after Black Lives Matter started to become mainstream, he became really involved in local justice systems. The following is a list of George Soros’ contributions to the American public:
Philadelphia:
George Soros poured $1.7 million into then-unknown Larry Krasner’s campaign for Philadelphia district attorney in 2017. Soros liked Krasner because before running for district attorney, Krasner was a lawyer who had sued the Philadelphia police department seventy-five times and had also been representing Black Lives Matter. To put in perspective how far Soros’ funding went for Krasner’s campaign, a normal person running for District Attorney in a city like Philadelphia usually raises $250,000, so yeah, it’s safe to say that Soros bought his election.
In two years after being elected, Krasner dropped charges on sixty percent of shooting cases and thirty-five percent of illegal firearms cases, and at the same time, liberals all over the city of Philadelphia were sucking David Hogg’s dick. In the COVID year, Philadelphia prosecuted the lowest number of felony cases in thirty years, all while the city saw 499 homicides, more than New York (which has a population five times bigger).
How did this affect Philadelphia? Besides people losing their lives to those Krasner refused to prosecute, bystanders were also affected financially. According to one study, for every homicide Philadelphia sees, housing prices within three-quarters of a mile drop by 2.3% in the immediate neighborhood. So, what do people do next? They move. Philadelphia’s population dipped by more than 22,200 between July 2021 and July 2022, a drop that ranked third among big cities, per the Census Bureau. What about businesses? New business applications fell 16% in the Philadelphia metro area last year, indicating fewer and fewer people want to start a business and employ people in Philadelphia. As an Eagles fan, I’ll be the first to tell you that it’s got nothing to do with how we’re playing.
Chicago:
District attorney Kim Foxx assumed office in December 2016 (with $300,000 in backing from George Soros), and during the COVID year, he made an even splashier commitment, donating two million dollars to her re-election campaign. Do I even need to tell you what happened next? I’m sure all of us have heard Jesse Watters making his smug, gay little comments a time or two while visiting Grandma.
Foxx dropped thirty percent of all charges in felony cases during her first three years as Cook County’s district attorney. Foxx’s conviction rate was only sixty-six percent, compared with her predecessor’s seventy-five percent. Here are some fun numbers, a list of homicides in Chicago over the past ten years:
2011: 431
2012: 500
2013: 414
2014: 411
2015: 478
2016: 778
Foxx, elected in November 2016, took office the following Dec. 1.
Here are the homicide figures for her first six years as state’s attorney:
2017: 660
2018: 579
2019: 498
2020: 772
2021: 797
2022: 695
One of my favorite Kim Foxx moments took place a month into her assuming office when she announced that shoplifting would no longer be a felony if the items stolen were less than a thousand dollars. Because of these new rules, shoplifting went from being the second most frequently charged offense to the eighth most commonly charged offense, all while people were shoplifting more than ever.
What’s interesting about Chicago is that things have been so bad that it’s not just the retail stores like Walmart or TJ Maxx closing in the city; it’s been the big employers, too. This year, freight railroad car company TTX left the city of Chicago, leaving hundreds of jobs with it, but TTX is just one of many. Last year, major corporations such as Caterpillar, Citadel, Boeing, and Tyson Foods announced relocations out of the Chicago area. Thousands of Chicagoans lost their jobs because of these moves. The weirdest part? White-collar employers, the people who are so rich that crime should barely be a part of their lives, also left. Two of the city’s most significant hedge funds, Guggenheim Partners and Citadel Partners, packed up to leave for Miami (a city attracting more investment banking than anywhere else in America right now).
Over the last five years, hundreds of thousands of people have left the Chicago metro area, which includes suburban Naperville and Elgin, than moved in, a net loss of at least 294,000 people.
Portland:
Let’s skip this one.
San Francisco:
When we look back at the life and legacy of George Soros, his greatest accomplishment might be what he’s done to San Francisco (I’ve always disliked tech people). While it’s not disclosed how much money George Soros gave former San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin directly, a network of donors he organized (including himself) gave Boudin $620,000. None of the DAs on this list, or the other twenty-something that Soros endorsed, were worse at their job than Chesa Boudin was during his time in office.
Boudin immediately made waves by firing San Francisco’s best veteran prosecutors and replacing them with inexperienced public defenders who had never tried murder cases. During the COVID year, San Francisco’s police department handed Boudin over six thousand cases; forty percent were dropped, with even more given the lightest charges you can imagine. With Chesa Boudin in office, car break-ins were 75% higher. In 2019, 40% of all shoplifting reports resulted in arrest; in 2021, under Boudin, only 19% did. The charging rate for theft by Boudin’s office declined from 62% in 2019 to 46% in 2021; for petty theft it fell from 58% to 35%. San Francisco’s jail population plummeted to 766 in 2021 from 2,850 in 2019. To put this in perspective, more than half of all offenders, and three-quarters of the most violent ones, who are released from jail before trial commit new crimes. In 2021, homicides in San Francisco were up 36% compared to 2019.
How did all of this sit with citizens and businesses? The US Census estimates the 2022 population of the City and County of San Francisco to be 808,437, representing a loss of 65,000 people and 7.5% since COVID. In the last five years, 47% of businesses in downtown San Francisco have fled. As retailers flee and people stay away, the vacancy rate of office buildings has also reached unprecedented highs. The vacancy rate in May was 31 percent, amounting to 18.4 million square feet, or enough space for 92,000 workers. The revenue loss to the city caused by decreased property taxes could reach $196 million per year by 2028, with the most optimistic experts saying it will be $100 million per year. Okay, okay, that’s all pretty bad, but what about housing prices? San Francisco had the largest drop in home prices this year. The typical home value dropped from $1,468,783 in 2022 to $1,273,463 this year, a 13.30% drop.
If you live in Philadelphia, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Savannah, St. Louis, Shreveport, the Golden Triangle of Mississippi, Albuquerque, Houston, and others, if you noticed an uptick in crime and a decrease in property values from 2015 on, you can thank George Soros.
The Other Stuff:
George Soros has been involved in plenty of other shit, I can’t expand too much on it in this because I haven’t sent one of these in a week, and now that I’m employed, I can’t just write a book because my boss has been inactive on Slack today. In the COVID year alone, Soros’ Open Society Foundations budgeted more than $63 million, or just over five percent of its total budget, toward influencing higher education here and abroad.
Over the years, Soros has funded more than 20,000 scholarships, invested hundreds of millions into liberal American colleges, and created a University of his own (Central European University in Austria). From his first charitable grant in the late 1970s to the early 2010s, Soros contributed over $400 million to colleges and universities, with 75% of it going to two schools: his own and Bard College in New York (whose President was good friends with this newsletter’s good friend, and my spiritual Grandfather, Jeffrey Epstein). In 2021, Soros offered Bard another $500 million as soon as the college could find donors to match or exceed it, which Bard leaders believe they can pull off within five years. This is one of the most significant gifts in the history of American higher education.
More than 19 colleges had individually received at least $1 million from Soros, including Harvard University, Columbia University, and Indiana University, among others. Georgetown received $1.8 million for the Justice at Stake Campaign, a group that believes there aren’t enough “people of color, women, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, and persons with disabilities” who are judges. Ohio State University got over $100,000 for its Kirwan Institute for the study of race and ethnicity, which then aided in providing “implicit bias training” to Los Angeles City Workers.
On any given college campus, there’s no shortage of retarded people who think they will change the world (most of the time, for the worse). Speaking in the parlance of white women who shop at Erewhon, George Soros loves to give these brainless idiots a platform and money so they can elevate their voices. Many of the big protests you see on big college campuses are, in some way, financially linked back to George Soros.
But America didn’t get Soros’ed nearly as severely as Europe did. The war in Ukraine has Soros’ wrinkly, old hands all over it. If you’re interested in hearing more about that (or an overview of the war in Ukraine in general since it seems to be ending), please let me know by commenting on this newsletter or DMing me on TikTok or Instagram.
I believe George Soros is misunderstood, not that he’s a good person, but I believe he thinks he’s doing the right thing. I think Soros accrued so much confidence making highly leveraged bets on Wall Street that his ego grew to unimaginable proportions, and for a man (especially one who doesn’t believe in God), that’s dangerous. Soros will never have to live in San Francisco, Chicago, or Ukraine; he’ll never lose his job or lose a little brother to a tragic shooting. Soros will never face the consequences of his funding and actions; other people will. George Soros isn’t a philanthropist; he’s a man who has used the massive amount of money he’s made on the backs of other governments to manipulate the minds of young people. Then, he uses his media apparatus to make sure that he and the politicians he supports come out smelling like roses.
George Soros’ twink son Alex with congressman Chuck Schumer
George Soros’ son, Alex Soros, now controls the Open Society Foundations. I don’t believe he’s really in charge, but on paper, this nepo-baby, who looks like he pays Arab women robust sums of money to pee on him, is now at the helm.
