President Joe Biden decided to use his waning days as America’s leader to flip the middle finger to citizens by honoring one of the most notorious anti-American billionaires in global politics.
Biden named George Soros, the financier of some of the most insidious efforts to undermine American exceptionalism, the rule of law and America’s influence around the world over his decades-long career, a recipient of the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom. Soros’s Open Society Foundations, of which he pumped an ungodly $32 billion into to further his dark "open society" worldview globally, celebrated in an X post, while saying the quiet part out loud that OSF’s reach under his leadership had expanded to “more than 100 countries.”
George's radicalized son Alex, the heir to his empire, received the award on the elder Soros’s behalf. Honoring Soros as some sort of American hero in light of the anti-American, anti-Israel and pro-Hamas dreck mill his machine has backed and oiled with his enormous fortune is about as oxymoronic as it can get. X owner Elon Musk called the development a “travesty.”
“[Soros’] inspiring generosity reminds us all of our capacity and our obligation to stand up to the abuse of power and to be guardians of democracy and all people yearning to be free,” stated the announcer on behalf of Biden. This is the same egomaniacal billionaire who once boasted that “[i]t is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out,” according to The Independent in 1993. That same Soros, afflicted with a self-admitted god-complex, demanded in a 2007 op-ed that America and Israel “must open the door to Hamas” right in the midst of the bloody 2006-2007 Fatah-Hamas conflict. The ensuing carnage of the Battle of Gaza in June 2007 would result in a complete Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip and the dissolution of the unity government by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
He also provided massive funding to groups that celebrated Hamas’s genocide on Israel Oct. 7, 2023. Just this alone makes the aforementioned pro-Soros statement out to be an absurd joke.
But even Soros’s backing of pro-terror groups and shilling for Hamas only scratches the surface of why the presidential remarks painting Soros as some sort of guardian of “democracy” are outrageous at best and nefarious at worst.
This parting insult from Biden comes on the heels of MRC Business’s groundbreaking exposé revealing how the Soros machine directs and controls the radical soft-on-crime prosecutors tearing apart the justice system across the country after obtaining 7,785 pages of internal communications and documents through public records requests. What was revealed was how Soros-funded groups set the political agenda for the prosecutors, incentivizing them to target police and the left’s political opponents while pushing them not to enforce certain laws, constituting an unlawful “prosecutorial veto” of duly established laws.
At the time of the report’s release, at least 30 percent of the U.S. population were living under the boot of the Soros prosecutors who were pressured to sign pledges vowing to adhere to various Soros prioritie. MRC Business calculated that Soros invested at least $117 million to install, direct and control at least 126 radicalized prosecutors.
Couple Soros’s vice grip on the American criminal justice system with the $35 million he spent on anti-police groups and causes he’s funded since 2021 and you have a steamroller dedicated to crushing the fabric of law and order in the U.S.
But if you think that’s all the damage the Soros empire has left in its wake, you’d be wrong.
MRC also revealed in a 2023 report how Soros had spent at least $131 million on 253 journalism groups and organizations around the world to advance his leftist agenda on issues like climate change, opposition to the traditional family, anti-Americanism, abortion and race. A number of these groups wield massive power over the flow of information in international politics, giving Soros direct influence over the information diet that multiple citizenries across the world digest on a daily basis.
What’s even worse about Soros’s constantly growing control over the information sphere — as is evidenced by his recent purchase of radio giant Audacy — is that Soros has actively given tens of millions to groups who exerted enormous pressure on Big Tech platforms to censor political viewpoints that run counter to his own. One MRC Business tally from May 2024 calculated that Soros poured at least $80 million into groups pressuring Big Tech to censor election-related content prior to the November elections. Soros's obsession with censorship would even make Big Brother blush.
But we’re not done. Soros has also spent billions gaining control over global academia. In 2021, MRC Business revealed how he seeded $1 billion alone into his global Open Society University Network, which vacuumed up multiple universities from the United States and abroad under its umbrella to indoctrinate the next generation with his radical views. The result is an Orwellian education juggernaut unlike anything the world has ever seen. Soros said he considers it “to be the most important and enduring project of my life.” Soros plans to have his network renamed the Soros University Network after his death.
Soros brazenly told The New York Times in 2019 he was “actively engaged” in “bending” the arc of history “in the right direction,” which is a euphemism for the chaos he inflicted on global politics, American culture and society with his billions. And now he was just awarded the highest civilian honor from Biden for doing it.
C'est la vie.
