George Soros hands control of empire to son, who proclaims he is 'more political' than his leftist father



Billionaire liberal George Soros confirmed that he is handing control of his $25 billion empire to his son – Alexander Soros. The son – who stresses that he is "more political" than his father – plans to continue funneling billions to leftwing causes and politicians.

The Wall Street Journal broke the story of Alex Soros taking over the Open Society Foundations from his 92-year-old father.

"We think alike," George Soros said of his son.

Alex proclaimed, "I'm more political," when compared to his billionaire father.

The 37-year-old focuses on different causes, especially voting and abortion rights, as well as gender equality.

Alex is concerned about the prospect of former President Donald Trump returning to the White House.

He told the WSJ, "As much as I would love to get money out of politics, as long as the other side is doing it, we will have to do it, too."

"He plans to continue using the family’s deep pockets to back left-leaning U.S. politicians," the Wall Street Journal article read.

The Open Society Foundations had funneled nearly $21 billion into left-leaning causes since 2000, according to a report published in January.

His father's immense wealth has provided Alex with access to some of the most influential political power brokers in the world.

As TheBlaze reported in April, Alex has visited the White House at least 14 times since President Joe Biden took office.

Alex Soros has met with French President Emmanuel Macron, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, former President Barack Obama, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (R-Calif.), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

"Alex is more focused on domestic politics than his father, he said. Alex is helping Democrats appeal to Latino voters and improve turnout among Black voters," the article noted. "He has urged Democratic politicians to better hone their message, broadening the party’s appeal."

He said, "Our side has to be better about being more patriotic and inclusive. Just because someone votes Trump doesn’t mean they’re lost or racist."

The Soros super PAC, Democracy PAC, has financed the election campaigns of progressive district attorneys and law-enforcement officials.

Alex is the oldest of two sons from George’s second marriage.

However, Alex was not expected to be George's heir apparent. For many years, Alex's elder half-brother, Jonathan Soros, was expected to be the one to succeed George at the Open Society Foundations. Jonathan, the third child from George’s first marriage, had a falling out in 2011 that resulted in Jonathan parting ways with his father's investment business.

Anthony Romero – executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which receives funding from the OSF – believes that Alex "is unlikely to be the boogeyman that George Soros was for the right."

White House logs reveal George Soros' son has made at least 14 visits



George Soros has proven himself instrumental in funding leftist causes over the years, but at the age of 92, the open society he has sought after needs a new champion. The billionaire's 37-year-old son, Alexander Soros, appears keen to carry on his father's legacy of propping up radicals and technocrats alike.

Recently updated White House visitor logs have revealed that Alexander Soros has the ear of prominent officials and staffers inside the Biden administration, having visited the White House at least 14 times since President Joe Biden took office.

Soros the younger chairs his father's Open Society Foundation and sits on the board of the European Council on Foreign Relations.

This Democratic fundraiser and University of California, Berkeley, grad routinely takes selfies with liberal elites and leftist politicians, such as French President Emmanuel Macron, former President Barack Obama, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (R-Calif.), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-Calif.), and others across the globe.

On March 30, the White House revealed just how often in recent years Alexander Soros has haunted the White House.

Soros attended a luxurious state dinner hosted by President Biden and first lady Jill Biden on Dec. 1, after having met with then-White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain's adviser Nina Srivastava earlier in the day, reported the New York Post.

The next day, Soros met with both adviser to the counselor to the president Mariana Adame and deputy national security adviser Jonathan Finer.

Soros had on other occasions met with a national security adviser staffer and other personnel close to members of the president's inner circle.

Matt Palumbo, an author and essayist who has investigated the Soros empire, told "Fox & Friends First" that it was notable that most of Soros' White House visits were to individuals involved in national security.

"Ukraine is a country where the Soros family has unfortunately boasted a lot of influence. There is tens, if not hundreds of billions of dollars being thrown around there. So I think that will be something worth circling back on in coming months or years," said Palumbo.

Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project at the Conservative Heritage Foundation, suggested that Soros' repeat visits to the White House are concerning since his family has already "done tremendous damage to our country," reported the Post.

"The Soros agenda is one of death and destruction in the name of open borders and ending Western civilization," said Howell. "The Biden administration and rogue prosecutor movement may be [its] most damaging purchase in America to date."

TheBlaze previously reported that Soros the elder has funneled $21 billion into leftist politics in an effort to influence global policy since 2000.

Contrary to Twitter CEO Elon Musk's suggestion that the younger Soros is "de facto in charge" of his father's leftist capital, Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, told the Post not to be "distracted by Alex’s name in the visitor log; it’s a George Soros rep they’re looking to meet with at the Biden White House. … He’s still calling the shots, it’s his money, his foundations."

Fitton underscored that Soros' "aggressive environmental agenda," open-border initiatives, and other destructive pet causes are still at play and continue to have significant influence in the Biden administration and Washington.

The Washington Examiner reported that Alexander Soros has pumped over $5.7 million into leftist political action committees and Democratic campaigns since 2018, according to Federal Election Commission filings. He reportedly directed $2 million in 2018 to Senate Majority PAC, linked to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

The younger Soros also contributed over $130,000 to Peolosi's campaign and a super PAC victory fund associated with the former House Speaker.

"Alexander Soros is poised to lead his family's multibillion-dollar political and philanthropic network," Scott Walter, president of the conservative think tank Capital Research Center, told the Washington Examiner.

"Like his father, he cozies up to White House and congressional leaders willing to do the family's bidding on such issues as crime, immigration, election policy, and more, as the Soroses exploit every type of giving: money to parties, independent expenditure groups, and so-called 'charities,'" added Walter.

Joe Rogan calls out leftist billionaire George Soros: 'It's like he wants these cities to fall apart. He wants crime to flourish.'



Joe Rogan suggested on his podcast this week that the wanton violence and seeming lawlessness in various American cities may not be accidental, but rather by design.

The podcaster told former CIA agent Mike Baker on a recent episode of the "Joe Rogan Experience" that leftist billionaire George Soros, 92, "wants crime to flourish" and "funds corrosion."

After discussing disgraced former FTX CEO and Democrat megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried's legal woes, Rogan and Baker broached the subject of the social fallout generated by Democrats' top donor, whom Baker deemed a "vampire."

Rogan noted that he had spoken to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott about George Soros and that Abbott explained the billionaire's modus operandi, particularly as it regards exerting influence over American law and politics.

"It's f***ing terrifying," said Rogan. "He donates money to [someone] very progressive, very leftist — whether it's a DA or whatever politician — and then funds someone who's even further left than them to go against them, and just keeps moving it along."

"He's playing like a global game ... and he enjoys doing it," Rogan added.

TheBlaze reported this week on revelations that Soros' nonprofit system, the Soros Network, has funneled nearly $21 billion into left-leaning politics since 2000.

Open Secrets indicated that Soros was the "top individual super PAC donor for the 2022 midterm election," having contributed at least $126 million to leftist super PACS in the last election cycle.

The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund indicated in a recent report that, as of June 2022, the U.S. had "at least 75 Soros-Backed social justice prosecutors, supported through campaign dollars and/or Soros-funded progressive infrastructure groups."

The LELDF report claimed that in 2021, the 75 Soros-backed "social justice prosecutors" who now represent "1 in 5 Americans or more than 72 million people" oversaw "more than 40% (9,000+) of the approximately 22,500 homicides in the US occurred in areas."

The report further alleged that "these prosecutors' charging and plea deal decisions, sentencing recommendations, and trial strategies" have been a major part of the perpetuation of and rise in crime in the cities they oversee.

Among Soros' beneficiaries is Philadelphia's impeached Democrat District Attorney Larry Krasner, whom the state's House Select Committee on Restoring Law and Order accused of contributing "to a catastrophic rise in violent crime at the expense of public safety."

Baker responded to Rogan, saying, "[Soros] understood early on where you wanted to seize power."

The former CIA agent intimated that it is a popular misconception that senators or similar politicians are the most influential power-brokers. Instead, "it's the DAs and it's the state-level politicians. That's where real change occurs and where things can happen."

Rogan interjected, suggesting it is at this level of politics — where Soros appears most engaged — where "real corrosion" can have a significant impact.

"That's what's scary: It seems like he funds corrosion. It's like he wants these cities to fall apart. He wants crime to flourish," said Rogan. "It's almost like he's an evil person in a Batman movie."

In an apparent effort to bolster the villain claim, Baker noted that Soros "made his real fortune by almost busting the bank of England. ... He's not out there for truth and justice."

Facing criticism over his alleged hand in destabilizing American cities, Soros penned an opinion piece in July displacing blame.

In the piece, he claimed that recent crime spikes in Democrat-controlled cities weren't the result of his beneficiaries' failures but of "a disturbing rise in mental illness among young people ... a pullback in policing in the wake of public criminal justice reform protests, and increases in gun trafficking."
