As a Hungarian I am finding a kinship with my Babalu ‘family’ in that I believe, in the last few years, I have found my version of “Castro” in George Soros. While he is not physically oppressing a population of people and starving them into his control … he is feeding those in this country and around the world who would/will. His sticky hands and filthy money are everywhere.
Matthew Vadum at Big Hollywood exposes the latest investment of Soros:
Radical philanthropist George Soros is bankrolling a documentary that celebrates left-wing terrorists who plotted to napalm Republicans at the 2008 GOP convention in Minnesota. Even worse, you too are bankrolling the film through your taxes.
You can be sure that if right-wing terrorists were plotting to attack the Democratic National Convention, whoever foiled that conspiracy would be immortalized in film, literature and song as a savior of democracy.
“If you flip the equation around and it had been a group of conservatives threatening to use force to prevent those on the Left from meeting, everyone would expect the government to infiltrate them and they would also expect the FBI to stop them and charge them with crimes,” said Brandon Darby, who helped the FBI thwart the planned attack.
A trailer for the left-wing film Better This World suggests that it depicts David Guy McKay and Bradley Neil Crowder as idealistic activists who, according to the official blurb, “set out to prove the strength of their political convictions to themselves and their mentor.” (Note: There was a functioning trailer when I wrote this post a few days ago, but it no longer appears to be working. -MV) In fact McKay and Crowder are convicted domestic terrorists who manufactured instruments of death calculated to inflict maximum pain and bodily harm on people whose political views they disagreed with.
The movie attacks a true American hero, Brandon Darby, who undermined the conspiracy by alerting the FBI. Filmmakers Katie Galloway and Kelly Duane de la Vega twist the facts to argue that Darby, a former revolutionary activist, manipulated McKay and Crowder into becoming would-be mass murderers.
It’s an easily disproved lie.

Thanks to Darby’s cooperation with the FBI, the two aspiring bomb throwers are now languishing in prison. McKay entered a “guilty” plea and was sentenced in May 2009 to 48 months in prison plus three years of supervised release for possession of an unregistered “firearm,” illegal manufacture of a firearm and possession of a firearm with no serial number. A week before, Crowder cut a deal with prosecutors and was sentenced to 24 months in prison for possession of an unregistered firearm.
Of course, it should surprise no one that Hollywood loves this kind of story with its anti-American overtones. HBO gave a grant to the filmmakers to produce their pro-terrorist propaganda. So did the Soros-funded Sundance Institute. After Soros’s foundation, the Open Society Institute (OSI), gave Sundance’s Documentary Film Program $4.6 million in 2002, it gave the institute another $5 million in 2009.
Taxpayers also underwrite Sundance’s adventures in social justice indoctrination. According to nonprofit tax returns (known as IRS Form 990s), the Sundance Institute has taken in $11,240,081 in government grants since 1997. It is unclear which governments made the grants because the 990 forms lump all the grant-making governments together.
The federal government has given $1,350,000 to the institute since 2000, according to USAspending.gov. All but $5,000 of the money was from the National Endowment for the Arts. (The $5,000 grant was from the State Department.) It’s not clear if the $1,350,000 is part of the $11 million-plus figure for all government grants.
Upon receiving the most recent OSI grant, Sundance founder Robert Redford obediently genuflected before Soros. “Sundance Institute has supported documentary storytellers since its beginning,” said Redford. “The recognition of that history by George Soros and the Open Society Institute, and the continuation of our relationship over time, speaks to our shared belief that culture—in this case documentary film—is having a profound impact in shaping progressive change.”

It’s all in a day’s work for George Soros.
Read the article in full, and remind me again about those ‘foreign influences’ being pumped into the US Chamber of Commerce … Yes, thank you.
Me think that sooner or later the Hungarian Communist George Soros will get in legal trouble for sticking his nose way too deep into American politics.
This man is a true enemy of the United States Of America. He supports most of the nations Ultra-Left wing organizations with his millions. What I don’t understand is the reason of his hate of the nation and people who gave him sanctuary.
Envy, Henry …
Envy of our ability as a nation and a republic not to be consumed with self-loathing, as he and all leftists/liberals are.
I guess you are right dillanwr. These fools are never happy, not even with all their millions. There lives are miserably empty.
Henry is right.
Perhaps with his recent gift to NPR and the firing of Juan Williams, he will get some egg on his face, at least.
The left talks about truth in where money comes from. Let them start by example and then we will follow.
The more gyorgy schwartz throws his ill gotten gains at grovelling psychophants, green israel-haters, smelly old reds, radical relics from the 60s, and other collectivista parasites, the more clearly the American citizens see him.
The more this old, troll-like, unrepentant snitch for the SS hands his tainted money to criminal front groups who in turn hire goons, felons, thugs, and other sour societal cancers to do the troll’s dirty work of trying to strip us of our liberty and wealth, the more the American people see, loathe, and ignore him, In due time, he will likely overreach, as those of his sour ilk inevitably do, and he’ll reap the full consequences of a life squandered on the worship of mammon, lust for power, and just plain acting like an international chronic nuisance.
Lady Justice may yet wheel him in some kind of shrouded cage in to a courtroom, from which this old troll will be slopped into the bidet of communist nuisances, ever to be watched, forever forgotten.
Go for it, gyorgy. Endow NPR, PBS, BS-LSD, and other wastrels who can’t let go of the 60s, because their parents could never believe they’d been had during the 30s by FDR, that subversive arch criminal, and his ‘braintrust’ comprised of old reds who destroyed Russia and wished to do the same to America.
Please, gyorgy, throw your tantrums and spread your loot like dog droppings on white shag carpet, in vain effort to bend Americans’ thinking to your tiresome, braindead, obsolete marxist pipedreams.
This week passed, NPR/PBS served Final Notice to all but stupidest of true believers that they’re a bunch of reds who’ll punish anyone who speaks the truth.
They’d rather see us die in another terror attack which we can ‘absorb’, than tell it on the level.
The press at one time was comprised of men who hit the streets and got the story. Today? They sit in the network gym, sip their lattes, and cackle socialist drivel at one another like a bunch of overfed capons.
We don’t care, gyorgy, what your media rented-pens say. They’re irrelevant. Throw your money at them all you wish.
The American citizens increasingly consider it a point of honor to ignore them.
