The Media Research Center’s 2025 dirty war against George Soros continued in a Sept. 21 post by chief Soros-hater Joseph Vazquez:
An explosive new report exposed the extent to which leftist billionaire George Soros has kept the gravy train for the pro-terrorism movement going for years.
Are we shocked? Not one bit!
Capital Research Center Investigative Researcher Ryan Mauro released a devastating investigation September 17 exposing how Soros gave “over $80 million into groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence.” As Mauro concluded, “The evidence is stark: Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in ‘direct actions’ that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism.”
This pool included groups that helped train activists in “property destruction and sabotage” during the 2020 Marxist Black Lives Matter riots, and the climate change-obsessed Sunrise Movement, which Mauro wrote “endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments.”
What’s even more damning is that this brand of dangerous, radicalized organizations that Soros funds isn’t just limited to American streets, but even stretches across the globe right into the heart of Islamist terrorist conflict in the Middle East.
In fact, the reality is quite different from Mauro’s overheated claims. The Sunrise Movement connection, according to Jewish Currents, is based on Sunrise raising bail money for those arrested for protesting the “Cop City” site. It added:
“There’s a lot of baseless claims, and they don’t use facts to back them up,” said Ashleigh Subramanian-Montgomery, the acting director of the nonprofit-focused resource center Charity & Security Network. In a statement sent to Jewish Currents, OSF said that “the claims in this [CRC] report are false and reckless,” and that they “unequivocally condemn all forms of violence, especially terrorism.” “All our activities are peaceful and lawful, and all our grantees are expected to abide by human rights principles and be in compliance with the law,” a spokesperson for the organization wrote.
Vazquez did not disclose the dubious nature of the accusations. Indeed, Vazquez stated:
Mauro’s corresponding, 90-page report effectively proves what the MRC had been saying all along: the Soros empire despises America and Israel so much that it holds no qualms about financing pro-terror organizations dedicated to unraveling both nations connected by a common Judeo-Christian heritage.
Jewish Currents, meanwhile, states that the Trump administration is using attacks on Soros such as those by Mauro to justify a broader crackdown on progressive organizing.
Vazquez — presumably feeling a bit seen — lashed out at a CNN story of right-winters like him targeting Soros in a Sept. 23 post:
CNN once again presented itself as a case study of how much pull leftist billionaire George Soros has within the global media when it chose to use its journalists as emissaries protecting his image and his dark vision for the world. The loaded headline for the September 18 article: “How the right blames George Soros for just about everything.”
CNN took aim at Soros critics following Vice President J.D. Vance’s September 15 guest-host appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, where he ripped unhinged magazine The Nation for grave-stomping on the TPUSA Founder’s grave after he was assassinated September 10. Vance called the outlet Soros-funded.
“George Soros has been the go-to bogeyman for the American right — and right-wing leaders around the world — for years,” CNN senior writer Zachary Wolf and politics writer David Wright blathered in a 1,493-word screed.
Vazquez refused to dispute the accuracy of the CNN report — instead, he got into disputes over whether Soros has funded The Nation since 2019 (spoiler: it hasn’t) and promoting the dubious CRC report again. He chose to ominously conclude: “CNN, in effect, is just simply providing more evidence that Soros’s propaganda powerhouse is real and will do anything to shield the billionaire from warranted criticism.”
Perhaps if Vazquez had actually contributed anything that resembled “warranted criticism,” as opposed to right-wing attack lines, he night have a point.
Vazquez raged even more in an Oct. 1 post:
The hacks at NPR gave the leftist fanatics at George Soros’s multibillion-dollar Open Society Foundations a platform to play the victim after a new report exposed it for financially backing pro-terrorism groups.
NPR Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep brought on the radical anti-Israel OSF President Binaifer Nowrojee September 29 to flex the Soros empire’s philanthropic bona fides.
“This is not about George Soros. This is about the United States slowly losing its democracy bit by bit in ways that we’ve seen elsewhere in the world,” Nowrojee cried to Inskeep. The Justice Department reportedly directed prosecutors to draft plans to investigate Soros’s empire after Capital Research Center investigative researcher Ryan Mauro revealed in an extensive, 90-page report that Soros had funneled at least $80 million into organizations “tied to terrorism or extremist violence” in the U.S. and abroad.
The irony of all this is that NPR was notoriously funded by George Soros in the past, which Inskeep glossed over in an attempt to make it seem meaningless: “Further down the list is a grant nine years ago to NPR, though we cover them like anybody else.” Yeah, sure.
Vvazquez then got mad that Soros hasn’t funded NPR for a decade:
Actually, Soros funded NPR with at least $2.9 million up until 2016. A 2018 piece by NPR referred to Soros’s OSF as “a financial supporter of NPR.” That’s a bigger conflict of interest than Inskeep let on, but it makes sense in light of all the pro-Soros puff that laced his September 29 segment.
Vazquez did not explain how funding that ended a decade ago has any relevance to anything happening now. Instead, he got even more incensed that basic facts about Soros inconvenient to the hateful right-wing narrative were pointed out:
Inskeep even did some spontaneous PR for Soros by caricaturing him as an “is an immigrant and a Holocaust survivor and a billionaire financier and a philanthropist and an eternal character in right-wing conspiracy theories, as he once acknowledged in an interview on this program.”
Nowhere did he mention anything about Soros’s explicitly stated “god” complex, his disdain for American national sovereignty, his fomenting of racial strife across the U.S., or that groups he’s funded have openly celebrated Hamas’s genocidal attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. Soros even authored a disturbing 2007 op-ed where the billionaire demanded for the United States and Israel to “open the door” to Hamas in negotiations. Did Inskeep mention any of this? Nope.
Did Vazquez mention that the situation in 2007 was quite different than those of today? Nope. Rather, after rehashing the CRC report again, he concluded: “This is more proof why American taxpayers should never have to worry about giving another dime in tax money to fund this leftist propaganda mill ever again.” Vazquez made no attempt to detail how, exactly, NPR is a “leftist propaganda mill” (or how Nowarjee is a “radical”) or why, even if it is, it serves as a counter to right-wing propaganda mills like MRC-loved Fox News.
