Soros poured millions into No Kings protests — but they still flopped



No Kings protests erupted across the country this weekend, but per usual — they were anything but organic.

George Soros’ Open Society Foundations funded the protests nationwide, awarding $7.61 million in grants to the group behind the No Kings protest.

“So when you go to their website, George Soros has actually donated over $32 billion of his own money to that foundation, which they then go on to fund all of these ... leftist rags, Black Lives Matter, No Kings protests,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.

“I think it’s a joke. I looked at the people. They’re not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs, I guess it was paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. It looks like it was. We’re checking it out,” Trump said in response.


“The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people were whacked out. When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country,” he continued.

“By the way, I’m not a king. I work my a** off to make our country great. That’s all it is. I’m not a king at all,” he added.

“When you look at what President Trump said, which is absolutely correct, by the way, he’s absolutely correct that these people are completely whacked out. They also are not representative of the country,” Gonzales says, noting that while the protest’s website claims seven million people showed up, law enforcement claims differently.

“I actually saw, according to all of the law enforcement intel, that it was probably closer to three million,” she explains. “Now, three million might sound like a lot to you, until you consider how many people are in this country, and you realize this is actually a very small minority of people.”

“This is the good news of the day,” she adds.

George Soros foundations fund No Kings protests against Trump



Left-wing billionaire George Soros has reportedly been funding foundations that financially support the No Kings protests against President Donald Trump.

Liberals and others opposed to the president and his policies plan to protest throughout the nation on Saturday, but some of the demonstrations are being funded by Soros.

'Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends.'

The Fox News report says that Soros' Open Society Action Fund gave a $3 million grant to an organization named Indivisible.

The website for the Open Society Foundations described the two-year grant as supporting the group's "social welfare activities."

That group is "managing data and communications with participants" for the No Kings demonstrations.

The Fox News report found that Open Society Foundations had granted more than $7.61 million to the organization orchestrating the protests.

"We support a wide range of independent organizations that work to deepen civic engagement through peaceful democratic participation, a hallmark of any vibrant society and a right protected by the Constitution," read a statement from a spokesperson for the Open Society Foundations. "Our grantees make their own decisions about their work, consistent with the law and the terms of their grant agreements."

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas sounded the alarm of Soros funding protests in an interview with Sean Hannity.

"There's considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots all across the country," he said.

"This politicized march is being organized by Soros operatives and funded by Soros money. No one denies these basic facts," Cruz said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The Trump administration and the Republican Congress are committed to countering this network of left-wing violence."

Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York has said that he will attend the protests against Trump and his policies.

The president has made it a goal of his second term to root out the groups and people providing funding for left-wing violent protests.

"We're not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to 'BREATHE,' and be FREE," said Trump in August. "Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends."

A spokesperson for the Open Society Foundations denied funding any violence at the time.

"The Open Society Foundations oppose all forms of violence, including violent protests," the spokesperson said.

DOJ preparing probes into Soros' Open Society Foundations following bombshell exposé by Ryan Mauro, Glenn Beck



The Capital Research Center, a nonprofit watchdog that scrutinizes the impact of money in politics and politics in philanthropy, released a damning 95-page report on Sept. 17 concerning Democrat megadonor George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

The report, authored by counterterrorism expert Ryan Mauro and first obtained by Blaze Media, indicated that Open Society has poured tens of millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that are allegedly engaged in activities the FBI has defined as domestic terrorism, as well as into foreign outfits allegedly linked to designated foreign terrorist organizations.

'This is a clash of the titans of historic proportions — of Trump on the one side and Soros on the other.'

Mauro debuted his findings in conversation with Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on "The Charlie Kirk Show" exactly one week after Kirk was assassinated. Evidently, the Trump administration was listening.

In the wake of yet another leftist attack — this time a fatal shooting on Wednesday at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Center in Dallas, Texas — the Department of Justice signaled that Soros' grant-making foundation would soon be visited by consequence.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's office has issued a directive to U.S. attorney's offices in California, Maryland, and New York and the cities of Chicago, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., instructing federal prosecutors to prepare to investigate Soros' shady group, reported the New York Times.

The directive, a copy of which was viewed by the Times and reportedly issued by Associate Deputy Attorney General Aakash Singh, identifies various charges with which attorneys can hammer Open Society Foundations.

Among the possible charges listed are racketeering, wire fraud, material support for terrorism, and arson, reported the Times.

Singh apparently referred to Mauro's report and asked federal prosecutors to figure out whether the allegations therein were enough to launch probes into Open Society.

The Capital Research Center's report indicates that Open Society has awarded:

  • at least $23,275,000 to seven groups that allegedly "directly assist domestic terrorism and criminality on U.S. soil";
  • at least $50.57 million across 41 groups that have allegedly endorsed terrorist attacks and/or are directly linked to foreign terrorist groups or their known front groups; and
  • nearly $10 million to five nonprofits that allegedly qualify as associates of terrorist groups or pro-terrorist groups.

Blaze News previously noted that among the seven groups identified in the report that are funded by Open Society and allegedly assist in domestic terrorism are:

Open Society Foundations, which is now chaired by Soros' son Alexander Soros, said in a statement, "The Open Society Foundations unequivocally condemn terrorism and do not fund terrorism. Our activities are peaceful and lawful, and our grantees are expected to abide by human rights principles and comply with the law."

The radical group added, "These accusations are politically motivated attacks on civil society, meant to silence speech the administration disagrees with and undermine the First Amendment right to free speech. When power is abused to take away the rights of some people, it puts the rights of all people at risk."

Mauro told Blaze News, "This is a clash of the titans of historic proportions — of Trump on the one side and Soros on the other."

"I have prepared a list with a range of relatively easy options for the Trump administration to exercise beyond what is mentioned in the New York Times report," continued Mauro. "This is a fight that can be won relatively easily if it is done the right way."

While he anticipates victory in the event that "the Trump administration is not scared away by the flak that they're going to get," Mauro suspects that in the short term, leftist violence might increase "because there will be panic, and they will frame this as the civil war that they and their counterparts on the so-called far right have wanted. ... They're going to say, 'This is the moment for our insurgency to officially launch and to officially become visible.'"

As for Open Society Foundations' response to the news of possible DOJ action, Mauro said, "They don't deal with the substance at all. They don't deal with a single allegation. They don't deal with a single transaction that's based on their own records."

DOJ spokesman Chad Gilmartin told the Times, "This DOJ, along with our hardworking and dedicated U.S. attorneys, will always prioritize public safety and investigate organizations that conspire to commit acts of violence or other federal violations of law."

This initiative comes on the heels of President Donald Trump's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization and the following promise from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller: "We are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people."

'The counteroffensive begins': Report exposes Soros' Open Society funding of alleged pro-terror leftist groups



President Donald Trump indicated on Monday that his administration is poised to take action against violent leftist radicals and to bring racketeering charges against the liberal organizations that apparently support them.

Within hours of Trump revealing that a crackdown is imminent, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller stated on "The Charlie Kirk Show," "We are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people."

'This is something that we can win.'

A new report from the Capital Research Center might make the administration's job a little easier — at least in the way of identifying nodes in the nonprofit funding network that Democratic mega-donor George Soros has bequeathed to his son Alexander and in justifying potential action against them.

The 95-page report first obtained by Blaze Media details how George Soros' Open Society Foundations has poured tens of millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that are allegedly engaged in activities the FBI has defined as domestic terrorism as well as into foreign outfits allegedly linked to designated foreign terrorist organizations.

Ryan Mauro, counterterrorism expert and Capital Research Center investigative researcher, told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on "The Glenn Beck Program" on Wednesday both that the findings in the report "are shocking" and "today, the counteroffensive begins."

The Capital Research Center indicated that Open Society has awarded at least $23,275,000 to seven groups that allegedly "directly assist domestic terrorism and criminality on U.S. soil"; at least $50.57 million across 41 groups that have allegedly endorsed terrorist attacks and/or are directly linked to foreign terrorist groups or their known front groups; and nearly $10 million to five nonprofits that allegedly qualify as associates of terrorist groups or pro-terrorist groups.

Blaze News has reached out to Open Society Foundations for comment.

Among the seven groups identified in the report that are funded by Open Society and allegedly assist in domestic terrorism are:

Capital Research Center noted that its findings "could potentially form the justification for various accountability actions, including federal investigations and prosecutions, U.S. State Department and Treasury Department sanctions, revoking of tax-exempt statuses of Open Society and its grantees by the Internal Revenue Service, congressional investigations, and civil suits."

"If you look at the IRS code, nonprofits are not allowed to be engaging in criminal activity," Mauro told Beck, adding that they're likely not permitted to even encourage criminal activity.

Beck, who expressed amazement "that these guys have gotten away with it for so long," indicated that he would personally hand the report to President Trump.

Mauro noted further that by identifying the amounts obligated, the recipients, and some of the radical activities the recipients engaged in, all in one document, it is easier to understand "that this is an infrastructure. This is a movement. And as scary as that is, it also means it can be taken down. We can confront them, and this is something that we can win."

Inside the billion-dollar pipeline funding the deep state



In a column earlier this month, I argued the deep state is no longer deniable, thanks to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. I outlined the structural design of the deep state as revealed by two recent declassifications: Gabbard’s ODNI report and the Durham annex released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

These documents expose a transnational apparatus of intelligence agencies, media platforms, think tanks, and NGOs operating as a parallel government.

The deep state is funded by elite donors, shielded by bureaucracies, and perpetuated by operatives who drift between public office and private influence without accountability.

But institutions are only part of the story. This web of influence is made possible by people — and by money. This follow-up to the first piece traces the key operatives and financial networks fueling the deep state’s most consequential manipulations, including the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

Architects and operatives

At the top of the intelligence pyramid sits John Brennan, President Obama’s CIA director and one of the principal architects of the manipulated 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment.

James Clapper, who served as director of national intelligence, signed off on that same ICA and later joined 50 other former officials in concluding the Hunter Biden laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” ahead of the 2020 election. The timing, once again, served a political objective.

James Comey, then FBI director, presided over Crossfire Hurricane. According to the Durham annex, he also allowed the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server to collapse after it became entangled with “sensitive intelligence” revealing her plan to tie President Donald Trump to Russia.

That plan, as documented in the annex, originated with Hillary Clinton herself and was personally pushed by President Obama. Her campaign, through law firm Perkins Coie, hired Fusion GPS, which commissioned the now-debunked Steele dossier — a document used to justify surveillance warrants on Trump associates.

Several individuals orbiting the Clinton operation have remained influential. Jake Sullivan, who served as President Biden’s national security adviser, was a foreign policy aide to Clinton during her 2016 campaign. He was named in 2021 as a figure involved in circulating the collusion narrative, and his presence in successive Democratic administrations suggests institutional continuity.

Andrew McCabe, then the FBI’s deputy director, approved the use of FISA warrants derived from unverified sources. His connection to the internal “insurance policy” discussion — described in a 2016 text by FBI official Peter Strzok to colleague Lisa Page — underscores the Bureau’s political posture during that election cycle.

The list of political enablers is long but revealing:

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who, as a former representative from California, chaired the House Intelligence Committee at the time and publicly promoted the collusion narrative while having access to intelligence that contradicted it.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), both members of the “Gang of Eight” with oversight of intelligence operations, advanced the same narrative despite receiving classified briefings.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, exchanged encrypted text messages with a Russian lobbyist in efforts to speak with Christopher Steele.

These were not passive recipients of flawed intelligence. They were participants in its amplification.

The funding networks behind the machine

The deep state’s operations are not possible without financing — much of it indirect, routed through a nexus of private foundations, quasi-governmental entities, and federal agencies.

George Soros’ Open Society Foundations appear throughout the Durham annex. In one instance, Open Society Foundations documents were intercepted by foreign intelligence and used to track coordination between NGOs and the Clinton campaign’s anti-Trump strategy.

This system was not designed for transparency but for control.

Soros has also been a principal funder of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, which ran a project during the Trump administration called the Moscow Project, dedicated to promoting the Russia collusion narrative.

The Tides Foundation and Arabella Advisors both specialize in “dark money” donor-advised funds that obscure the source and destination of political funding. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was the biggest donor to the Arabella Advisors by far, which routed $127 million through Arabella’s network in 2020 alone and nearly $500 million in total.

The MacArthur Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation also financed many of the think tanks named in the Durham annex, including the Council on Foreign Relations.

Federal funding pipelines

Parallel to the private networks are government-funded influence operations, often justified under the guise of “democracy promotion” or counter-disinformation initiatives.

USAID directed $270 million to Soros-affiliated organizations for overseas “democracy” programs, a significant portion of which has reverberated back into domestic influence campaigns.

The State Department funds the National Endowment for Democracy, a quasi-governmental organization with a $315 million annual budget and ties to narrative engineering projects.

The Department of Homeland Security underwrote entities involved in online censorship programs targeting American citizens.

The Pentagon, from 2020 to 2024, awarded over $2.4 trillion to private contractors — many with domestic intelligence capabilities. It also directed $1.4 billion to select think tanks since 2019.

According to public records compiled by DataRepublican, these tax-funded flows often support the very actors shaping U.S. political discourse and global perception campaigns.

Not just domestic — but global

What these disclosures confirm is that the deep state is not a theory. It is a documented structure — funded by elite donors, shielded by bureaucracies, and perpetuated by operatives who drift between public office and private influence without accountability.

This system was not designed for transparency but for control. It launders narratives, neutralizes opposition, and overrides democratic will by leveraging the very institutions meant to protect it.

With the Durham annex and the ODNI report, we now see the network's architecture and its actors — names, agencies, funding trails — all laid bare. What remains is the task of dismantling it before its next iteration takes shape.

'We're watching you': Trump threatens George Soros and his 'group of psychopaths' with prosecution



Left-wing billionaire George Soros got a warning from the most powerful man on Earth on Wednesday about his controversial political activism.

Soros has dumped tens of millions of dollars into left-wing causes through his nonprofit Open Society Foundations. The 95-year-old appears to be passing the torch to his son, Alexander Soros, to keep supporting progressive policies.

'Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends.'

President Donald Trump appeared to lean on recent reports showing Soros' involvement in groups that allegedly participated in rioting in the U.S.

"George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America," he wrote on Truth Social.

"We're not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to 'BREATHE,' and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends," Trump added.

The president concluded with a warning: "Be careful, we're watching you!"

A spokesperson for Soros' nonprofit responded to the president's allegations in a statement to the National News Desk.

"The Open Society Foundations do not support or fund violent protests. Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles at home and around the world," the spokesperson's statement reads. "We stand for fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, including the rights to free speech and peaceful protest that are hallmarks of any vibrant democracy."

The nonprofit gave financial support to two groups, Community Change and Community Change Action, which in turn supported "Free DC," an organization that coordinated protests against Trump and his policies.

The Open Society Foundations spokesperson denied supporting violence while defending the group's support of political demonstrations.

"We do not pay people to protest or directly train or coordinate protestors. All OSF grantees are required to comply with the law and we expect our grantees to uphold our shared commitment to human rights, dignity, and nonviolence," the spokesperson said. "The Open Society Foundations oppose all forms of violence, including violent protests."

USA Today said neither George Soros nor his son Alexander could be reached for comment.

EXCLUSIVE: Founder of Soros-Backed Legal Group Resigned Amid Internal Accusations of Racism

Progressive activist Miriam Krinsky was at the top of her game in early 2024. As the founder and leader of Soros-backed Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP), she helped support the day-to-day work of the nationwide wave of progressive prosecutors elected in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Then it all came to a screeching halt when her own staff accused her of being a racist, according to emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Soros empire finally crumbling? The proof is piling up



Globalist progressive puppet master George Soros turned 95 years old last week on August 12.

“He's outlived almost all of the people that tried to stop him and, to be honest, most of the economies that he tried to collapse,” says Glenn Beck.

“You have toppled a few currencies just for sport; you have funded enough political movements all over the world to keep small nations in coups for over a century now; and you've turned philanthropy into a really terrifying word,” he adds, congratulating the billionaire on reaching his 95th birthday only “to see [his empire] all come apart at the very end.”

Since Alex Soros, George’s second son, was given control of Open Society Foundations and related financial entities in 2023, Glenn has reveled in watching him send the family empire spiraling into chaos.

You’re “the man who broke the Bank of England,” he says to George. “Your son is breaking another bank, but it seems to be yours.”

Glenn points out some of Alex’s biggest failures, most notably his decision to invest roughly $2 billion in an electric vehicle company called Rivian Automotive. Under Alex’s oversight, Soros Fund Management purchased nearly 20 million shares at $70-$100 per share, but in just a year’s time, the stock dropped to a laughable $18 per share, resulting in over $1 billion in losses.

According to HedgeFollow, a website that tracks and ranks U.S. hedge fund performances, Soros Fund Management currently holds a performance rating of one out of five stars, indicating it is among the least successful hedge funds in the country.

In July 2023 after Alex assumed control of operations, Open Society Foundations cut 40% of its staff worldwide, drastically limited new grants, and made significant changes to its operating model — all signs that the nonprofit organization was running “out of money,” says Glenn.

However, Alex’s “crowning achievement,” he says, was his involvement in Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, with OSF spending $1.6 million to lobby for provisions like electric vehicle tax credits tied to its Rivian investment.

But now that the Trump administration is taking drastic moves to repeal and limit the Inflation Reduction Act’s provisions, it seems that’s become yet another failure of Alex’s, too.

But it’s just the beginning of his long list of misfires. While Alex was pumping money into the Inflation Reduction Act, he was simultaneously “spending at least $4 million on Stacey Abrams' failed gubernatorial campaign,” says Glenn.

“Who would be this stupid? Certainly not George Soros’ son,” he mocks.

“Now it could be because at the time Rivian was starting to build a gigafactory right there in [Abrams’] state and he was asking the state for some subsidies. … Then she didn't win, and all that money was flushed down the toilet.”

Even the Soros-funded DAs who were installed to “collapse this country” are beginning to fail, as “more than a dozen have been removed from office by recalls and scandals,” says Glenn, adding that the dramatic increase in urban crime thanks to these soft-on-crime DAs was a “key factor” in the defeat of the Democratic Party in 2024.

“The second election of Donald Trump, you know — crime, immigration, and the economy were the big topics, which had to bother you because those were your big topics, too,” he taunts.

The Trump administration “cutting electric car subsidies,” “closing the borders, defunding all your little NGOs,” “going after your sanctuary cities, and, this week, taking crime on in D.C.” has got to be “mental torture” for 95-year-old George, who’s “just trying to make it to the pudding in the afternoon,” Glenn mocks. “To see your world fall apart. That torture must be relentless.”
