Dark Money Group Funding Hamas Protests

Of course it is George Soros who is funding the Pro-Hamas protests that shut down major highways yesterday. 

It's almost as if the guy enjoys being considered a supervillain even more than he wants to destroy Western culture.

I have never understood Soros' hatred for the West. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was all about "Open Societies," and early on I assumed he would be a good guy despite his rather nasty way of making his money. 

Boy, was I wrong. Admittedly, I caught onto his shtick pretty quickly, but I am still ashamed that I never thought nice things about him. 

These days, Soros has his fingers in every poisonous pie, working diligently to destroy all that is good. He is like Klaus Schwab with a billion or seven dollars

Scores of "Free Palestine" protesters across the United States took to the streets Monday to block major airports, highways, and bridges. Those who are arrested will receive bail money and legal support from a left-wing dark money behemoth funded by George Soros, an online fundraising page shows.

The protests, which took place in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, were organized by A15 Action, a newly formed group that worked to "coordinate a multi-city economic blockade on April 15 in solidarity with Palestine." The group's website directs users to a "bail and legal defense fund" hosted through ActBlue, the Democratic Party's online fundraising juggernaut.

Those who donate to the fund, the ActBlue page says, are sending money to the Community Justice Exchange, which provides "money bail, court fees and fines" and other legal services to "community-based organizations … that contest the current operation and function of the criminal legal and immigration detention systems." The exchange is a project of the Tides Center, a left-wing dark money network funded by Soros and other liberal billionaires.

The protests took place mainly in Blue cities, but the pain was spread around to everyone as the Golden Gate Bridge was shut down, the road to O'Hare Airport blocked, and countless other major arteries were blocked in order to support the terrorists in Gaza. 

Oh, and Iran. Don't forget all that support for Iran, which calls for the death of Americans and Israelis as a greeting any time the leadership gathers. 

Nice. Thanks, George Soros and your billionaire friends. This is how you define "open societies?" 

Ahead of the protests, A15 said it identified "major choke points in the economy" that it would "blockade" to "cause pain." The group listed more than 50 participating cities, including Chicago, where dozens of protesters shut downaccess to the O’Hare International Airport for nearly an hour, forcing some travelers to walk with their luggage to the airport.

Similar protests occurred in San Francisco—where protesters held up traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge—and in Oakland, Calif., where protesters blocked all lanes on Interstate 880. Philadelphia and New York City also experienced disruptions.

At the A15 protest on Wall Street, protesters were photographed wearing Hamas bandanas and flying Hezbollah flags. Banks located near the protest were vandalized with red spray paint and graffiti that read "Funder of Genocide" and "Free Gaza." Those protesters later blocked the Brooklyn Bridge.

Openness is in the eye of the beholder, of course. In Brussels as I wrote earlier today the Left-wing mayor outlawed a conference because conservatives might endorse sovereignty and autonomy for people in democracies. We can't have that, can we?

One of the frustrating myths being promoted these days is that blockades, riots, intimidation, and censorship are somehow "free speech." They are not. 

Speech is about communication. All this is about shutting communication and all of society down. It is no more speech than a toddler having a tantrum. 

Come, let us reason together. 

No! Now, I am going to destroy your stuff and block ambulances. 

Many people close to me think I am exaggerating and getting too upset, but I see the destruction of our civilization on the horizon. Over the past decade, our establishment has weaponized government to shut down dissent, our legal system is criminalizing being conservative, and the police are backing riots and disruptions. 

That billionaires are funding the closure of our cities tells us everything you need to know about the sickness enervating our culture. Our Elite has chosen a side, which isn't you or me. 

They may come to regret that choice, but if and when they do it will be too late.
