Open Society Foundations (OSF) Chairman Alex Soros bragged about how his father has funded the legalization of illicit drugs while speaking to an audience of globalists.
During the Clinton Global Initiative 2023 Meeting last week, Alex opened up to The Washington Post Associate Editor Jonathan Capehart on a number of issues, including his father’s radical agenda on drug policy, which Soros dubbed “harm reduction.” Soros claimed, “If you look at what the foundation invested in, in its beginnings, we made a lot of things that weren’t, let’s say ‘sexy’ at the time, we brought them into the mainstream,” before adding, “but one of the reasons why we are attacked the way we are is because we are supporting harm reduction in drug policy all across the world, which was a huge, and still is a huge stigma.” Soros went on to discuss how his father had upset religious groups by supporting abortion and contraception, before providing a specific example of his father’s legacy on drugs. This legacy includes giving over $3 million from 2016 to 2021 to Harm Reduction International which advocates for “needle and syringe programmes” and “drug consumption rooms,” and pushing for the legalization of marijuana.
When Capehart asked Soros what organizations the OSF partnered with, Soros was initially tight-lipped before admitting, "I’m kind of limited in what I can say on that because of the sort of the political work that some entities affiliated with us do, and there we do a lot of partnerships around safe voting.”
However, Soros ultimately decided to highlight a drug addiction partnership with the Casey Foundation. “[W]e partnered with [the Casey Foundation] in Baltimore, where we had a standalone project particularly dealing with drug addiction when Baltimore was the most drug-addicted city in the country,” Soros stated. “So we do have partners in organized philanthropy.” The Casey Foundation has been a major funder of Open Society Institute-Baltimore.
American Center for Democracy Founder and President Rachel Ehrenfeld had a lot to say about Soros’ family activism on this issue in Baltimore. In The Soros Agenda, after discussing Soros’ push to legalize a wide variety of different illicit drugs, she delved into how the Soros-funded organization Charm City Care Connection distributed crack pipes, along with instructions on how to smoke them and a card to show law enforcement. She cites Free Beacon Staff Writer Patrick Hauf who reports that Charm City Care Connection outrageously provides “glass crack pipes” along with an “‘Authorized Harm Reduction Program Participant Card’ that serves as a get-out-of-jail-free card to show to law enforcement because the paraphernalia is illegal in the state of Maryland.”
Ehrenfeld went on to mention that the Drug Policy Alliance, to which Soros gave $585,091 from 2016 to 2019, condemned the Biden administration for excluding free crack pipes from drug kits. Ehrenfeld writes, “When the White House announced it would exclude pipes from the drug kits, the Drug Policy Alliance tweeted its objection saying the decision to ‘remove pipes from safe smoking equipment is deeply disappointing.’”
The Drug Policy Alliance, which was created by a merger of The Drug Policy Foundation and a Soros project, the Lindesmith Center, has worked to change drug laws in a number of states. According to the Washington Examiner, the advocacy arm of the Drug Policy Alliance, Drug Policy Action “and its Oregon affiliate gave at least $2.8 million from 2013 to 2014 to committees backing Oregon's Measure 91, which passed in 2014 and legalized marijuana, according to campaign finance disclosures. Six years later, Oregon approved Proposition 110, which Drug Policy Action spent millions of dollars supporting and decriminalized hard drugs.”
As the new Chair of the OSF, Alex Soros seems likely to follow in his father’s footsteps to achieve so-called “harm reduction” on drug policy.
