George Soros has been a constant funder of radical left-wing movements, pouring billions through his Open Society Foundations to bankroll groups that push open borders, defund the police, and erode traditional values across the globe.
He claims to promote democracy, yet evidence would argue his fortune has fueled chaos, weakened nations, and empowered radical causes.
The OSF boasts that it has given away more than $32 billion since its founding. That sum has been directed toward organizations advocating for mass immigration, abortion access, criminal justice reform, and leftist political campaigns.
According to a report highlighted by The Blaze, “Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in ‘direct actions’ that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism.”
The report detailed how OSF allegedly provided over $80 million to groups accused of extremist behavior.
Among the named groups are the Center for Third World Organizing and the Ruckus Society, which critics claim trained activists in “property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots.” As one watchdog concluded, “These groups… specialize in militant tactics that undermine public order.”
The allegations aren’t confined to America. Internationally, OSF is accused of bankrolling organizations like Al-Haq and the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights. Both NGOs, operating in Palestinian territories, have been accused of having leadership figures with ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.
According to Colorado Politics, records show that OSF awarded grants to Al Mezan earmarked for “monitoring and documenting human rights and International Humanitarian Law violations.” Critics argue this was a cover for more sinister activity.
A report from Judicial Watch was even more blunt: “Soros Funds Islamist Extremist Groups in U.S. and Abroad… most of the terrorist groups have received over a million dollars each from OSF.” This revelation has shaken confidence in the so-called “philanthropy” and brought fresh demands for accountability.
The Department of Justice has now reportedly laid the groundwork for formal probes. The Wall Street Journal confirmed that U.S. attorney offices have been instructed to prepare plans to investigate OSF for potential violations, including material support for terrorism.
Soros’s critics see this as long overdue. For years, questions have swirled about how his billions were influencing American politics and global conflicts. Now, those concerns appear to be entering the realm of law enforcement.
The allegations are not only financial but ideological. According to a Times of India report, Soros-funded groups have been behind pro-Hamas rallies in New York, further linking OSF’s money to radical activism.
In one striking claim, CBS Austin reported that Soros’s foundation gave “$80 million to groups tied to extremist violence.” Such numbers raise questions about how much influence Soros truly wields in shaping movements that destabilize society.
Opponents of Soros have long argued that his money bankrolls the far left under the guise of civil society and “open society” ideals. These revelations appear to validate their suspicions.
Even as the evidence mounts, OSF has issued strong denials. In a statement to Reuters, the foundation said: “The Open Society Foundations unequivocally condemn terrorism and do not fund terrorism.”
OSF went further, claiming that these probes are nothing more than “politically motivated attacks on civil society, meant to silence speech the administration disagrees with and undermine the First Amendment right to free speech.”
Still, critics are unconvinced. They argue that it is no coincidence so many of Soros’s grantees have crossed paths with violent extremism, whether in U.S. protests or international conflict zones.
The Capital Research Center, whose report sparked the wave of investigations, did not mince words: “Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in direct actions the FBI defines as domestic terrorism.”
The Vigilant Fox summarized the concern: “These groups include the Center for Third World Organizing and its militant partner Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots.”
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, who faced criticism earlier this year for siding with Republicans to keep the government open, now says he is prepared to risk a shutdown at month’s end if GOP leaders reject Democratic demands.
Schumer said he and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries are aligned in opposing any spending measure that excludes key health care provisions or allows for their rollback. He argued the political landscape has shifted since March, when he pressed to avoid a shutdown, and predicted Republicans and President Donald Trump would bear the blame if they refuse to strike a bipartisan deal.
“Things have changed” since the March vote, Schumer said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday. He stated that Republicans have since enacted Trump’s significant tax cuts and spending reduction legislation, which has led to cuts in wasteful Medicaid spending and other government programs.
Schumer, a New York Democrat, noted that his party is now united, in contrast to March, when he voted alongside Republicans while Jeffries voted against the legislation to fund the government. Schumer argued that a shutdown would not significantly worsen the current climate, with Trump already challenging Congress’s authority.
“It will get worse with or without it, because Trump is lawless,” Schumer told the AP, though Trump’s administration has faced an unprecedented amount of lawsuits since he took office and began issuing executive orders, many of which have been blocked by courts.
Schumer’s warning comes as Republicans weigh a short-term stopgap spending bill to avert a Sept. 30 shutdown. Without a bipartisan agreement, Democrats face two difficult options — join Republicans to keep the government open or allow it to close with no clear path forward, the AP reported.
Republicans argue Democrats will bear responsibility if they refuse to vote to keep the government open. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has stressed that Schumer must present a concrete proposal on health care, including extending expanded tax credits under the Affordable Care Act for millions of Americans.
