There is probably no one more protected by the Deep State media than George Soros and when he is revealed as a provocateur of chaos, sometimes tyranny, as in 2020 Antifa and Black Lives Matter demonstrations, his minions, including paid “fact checkers” swarm to his defense. Such is the case with the heavily censored New York Post’s column “George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests,” by Isabel Vincent, April 26, 2024. It was very difficult getting a transcript. Why the censorship? Because the Deep State wanted the story to show no Deep State funding or coordination; it was instead spontaneous.
As is now widely known, on April 17, 2024, students at Columbia University began setting up tents in front of the school’s library, creating what is now called the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment.” Within a week similar “Gaza Solidarity Encampment’s” mushroomed “spontaneously” in universities throughout the country. There has never been this kind of solidarity, this fast, among universities in U.S. history. These the Post said, included: Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia—all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)” and with all the same hate Israel, love and support Palestine messaging
This, with respect to the more than 1,200 Israeli innocent infants, children, woman and men brutally massacred October 7, just seven months ago. All of these college “camps” supposedly gathering in solidarity with the massacre and seemingly in support of more of the same. No cause is more dark! As a college professor of 35 years, most of these students could not tell you where Palestine is located nor would support butchering a baby. At this time in their lives they are serving as “useful idiots,” a term first coined by Vladimir Lenin describing people who could be used for communist propaganda purposes. Massacring the defenseless is not social justice.
The Post continued, “The SJP parent organization has been funded by a network of nonprofits, ultimately funded by, among others, Soros, the billionaire left–wing investor. At three colleges the protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are ‘fellows’ of Soros–founded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, USCPR.
“USCPR provides up to $7,800 for its community–based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus–based ‘fellows’ in return for spending eight hours a week organizing ‘campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.’ They are trained to ‘rise up, to revolution.’ The radical group received at least $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundation since 2017 and also took in $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019.”
The Post identified three fellows who have been major figures in the nationwide university protest movement: at Columbia University, graduate Nidaa Lafi, at Yale, Brickhead Morton, and at the University of California, Berkeley, Malek Afaneh. All with radicalized pro-Palestinian backgrounds and each with coordinated identical tent city methodology in promoting their radicalized ideas.
On April 17, three groups coordinated the first “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” at Columbia on the lawn in front of its library: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), and Within Our lifetime. Here “students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin, free sandwiches worth $12.50 each from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens.” Of course, outside businesses Amazon, Dunkin’ and Bret, house and feed the Gaza encampment. They are accomplishes.
An analysis by the Post showed that “all three groups got cash from groups linked to Soros. The Rockefeller Brothers fund also gave cash to JVP.” Such cash “made its way to the students through a network of nonprofits which help obscure their contributions.” Over the years Soros, a self loathing Jew himself, “has given billions to the Open Society Foundations which his son Alexander – whose partner is Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s top aid and the estranged wife of pervert, Anthony Weiner–-now controls. In turn Open Society has given more than $20 million to the Tides Foundation, a progressive nonprofit ‘fiscal sponsor’ that then sends the cash to smaller groups.” Other groups and people funding Palestinian causes noted by the New York Post were notified of the Post’s claims. “None responded to requests by the Post for comment.”
When some professors joined the protests, Columbia University surrendered to the extreme radicals by closing classes for the rest of the semester instead of issuing suspensions or expulsions. No consequences for the unlawful behavior.
George Soros is presently under attack for another concern the Deep State media wants on wraps. The billionaire financier has just purchased $400 million of the debt (40%) owed by radio platform Audacy which was undergoing bankruptcy. Audacy effectively controls more than 220 radio stations across the country, the second largest chain of radio stations (“George Soros scoops up 220 U.S. radio stations ahead of 2024 election,” The Washington Times, by Victor Morton, February 14, 2024). Soros will use this power also to propagandize America.
The“Gaza Solidarity Encampments,” providing training to “rise up to revolution” will fade quickly as summer is around the corner. But the hate America movement, from which it spawned, will morph to something far more dangerous to the country by Fall.
