The wave of protests and civil unrest across the United States is “the moment we’ve been investing in for the last 25 years,” Soros’ Open Society Foundations President Patrick Gaspard told The New York Times.
George Soros’s Foundation Is Spending $220 Million To ‘Dismantle Systemic Racism’ In U.S.
By Tim Pearce, Daily Wire, Jul 13, 2020:
Story continues below advertisementThe Open Society Foundations, a network of nonprofits founded by George Soros, is investing massive amounts of cash into black-led racial justice groups and activism.
The Open Society Foundations announced its new initiative on Monday. The cash infusion into racial justice activist organizations comes after massive protests erupted over the death of George Floyd, a black man, who died while in the custody of Minneapolis police.
The wave of protests and civil unrest across the United States is “the moment we’ve been investing in for the last 25 years,” Open Society Foundations President Patrick Gaspard told The New York Times.
“There is this call for justice in Black and brown communities, an explosion of not just sympathy but solidarity across the board,” he continued. “So it’s time to double down. And we understood we can place a bet on these activists — Black and white — who see this as a moment of not just incrementalism, but whole-scale reform.”
Most of the allocated money, $150 million, will go to “Black-led justice organizations” in the form of five-year grants designed for groups to continue working after outrage over the death of Floyd and others subsides and fundraising shrinks.
“The demands being made now will not be met overnight, and we know the gaze of media and elected officials will turn in other directions,” Gaspard said. “But we need these moments to be sustained. If we’re going to say ‘Black lives matter,’ we need to say ‘Black organizations and structures matter.’”
Gaspard explained more about the initiative in a press release that followed the NYT article.
“We recognize that the struggle to dismantle systemic racism is an ongoing one; it has existed from the dawn of the republic to the present day, and is embedded in every level of government and in our penal and justice systems,” Gaspard said. “But the power surge of people who have taken to the streets to demand that this nation do better — people of all ages, from all backgrounds, and in every corner of this country — gives hope to us all.”
“Sustaining this extraordinary momentum toward centering justice for Black lives is fundamental to getting our democracy on track,” he added. “We need to combine long-term commitments to this movement with near-term opportunities, to ensure that the millions who have stepped up to take action can see enough results to stay engaged.”
The other $70 million will go toward “more immediate efforts to advance racial justice,” according to the Open Society Foundations’ statement. Some of the funding will further ongoing initiatives to “reimagine” policing and community safety as local governments move to wholly or partly defund their police departments. Funding will also go toward encouraging more youth activism, encouraging voter turnout, and securing U.S. elections.
It’s unclear where exactly the funding will go, but officials in Minneapolis are currently working on a plan to replace the city’s police department with a “community-led public safety system.” The city council voted unanimously last month to defund its police after outrage over Floyd’s death.

Senator Josh Hawley is asking for AG Barr to open a civil rights investigation into the corrupt St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner who is targeting the McCloskeys for defending themselves against the BLM mob. As you know, she had law enforcement seize their guns last weekend: “This morning I have asked the Department of Justice to open a civil rights investigation into the St Louis Circuit Attorneys Office. Targeting law abiding citizens who exercise constitutionally protected rights for investigation & prosecution is an abuse of power” — Josh Hawley3 years agoReply to DemocracyRulesShe is a SOROS paid implant. What she is doing doing is unconstitutional and it is worrisome that they police confiscated his legally owned and licensed guns in a warrant. They did nothing wrong in protecting themselves and their property. This is not getting the proper attention that it should in the media.

3 years agoReply to famouswolfMake no mistake about it, with everything taken into account (name me one thing of importance, either here or abroad, that isn’t in some degree of flux), it is not just civil war (as if that isn’t bad enough), it is the end of America as she once was and as she is today. And if you believe in the prophecies and what they mean for us all, you will see this as not only inevitable, but in line with God’s will for the end of this age of man.
America, under the leadership of Trump, is the linchpin to the world and is the only thing that the last remaining end time prophecies are hinged on. Once ‘America’ has been neutered, the flood gates of Hell will be unleashed (BTW, has anyone seen the latest chart on ‘mortgage delinquencies’, make sure you’re sitting down, and remember, its still early on…the chart should have a disclaimer, “Abandon all hope, ye who view this”).
3 years agoReply to James JonesI don’t believe in ‘end time prophecies’, not Christian, moslem or any other. It won’t be that EASY.
3 years agoReply to famouswolfAre you not a believer at all in scripture or Christianity, or is it just ‘prophecies’ that you object to?
There is no comparison between the bible and the koran at all, but in particular when it comes to prophecy. The Bible has over 1800 prophecies, with many fulfilled in the exact, specific detail and time constraints as they were given, but every recorded prophecy has come true, without fail. The very few (<5) recorded in the koran, are ambiguously given and have fulfilled almost entirely only in the eyes of those already deceived by Mohammad, whereas, the unbiased historical record validates all of the Bibles prophecies, there is no ambiguity to them whatsoever.
I would say that a book that has a 100% accuracy on 1800 prophecies, highly detailed and time restricted prophecies, deserves no association with a book of lies and deception, and ought to merit your consideration.

SOROS has the media carrying out his mission for him. BTW this graphic is not up to date. His I hate Trump followers now include more than this. Social media is on his side too. Censoring Trump people who support him is getting worse. The 2020 election is an uphill battle. Biased Google will also have an impact on the election as they did in the 2018 midterms.

This will be the third marriage for Soros, and second for Bolton, 40. He has five children from his previous marriages so there are more SOROS children to be wary of….

Fauci Poses for Fashion Mag Photo Shoot as COVID Engulfs America

Dr. Anthony Fauci and his wife, Dr. Christine Grady, speak with CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell about a potential COVID-19 vaccine, working with the White House, and what life is like at home.
By Norah O’Donnell, Anchor and Managing Editor of the CBS Evening News, for InStyle July 15, 2020Dr. Anthony Fauci has been well-respected by the scientific community throughout his more than 35-year career at the National Institutes of Health. As an expert on infectious diseases, he has advised six U.S. presidents on the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and in 2008 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush.
I’ve known Dr. Fauci and his wife, bioethicist Dr. Christine Grady, for years as frequent guests at my husband’s restaurant – these days mostly for takeout. It’s also not uncommon to see them out on their daily walks through the neighborhood. I caught up with Dr. Fauci and Dr. Grady on Tuesday to talk about when he expects a vaccine, his relationship with President Trump, and how the two of them are staying healthy and grounded during the coronavirus pandemic.
Norah O’Donnell: How are you guys?
Dr. Anthony Fauci: Given what’s going on in the world, we’re OK.
Christine Grady: How are you?
NO: I’m doing well! This will be our first time in InStyle magazine together.
A F: Oh, good! Another first!
NO: OK, so let’s get into it. Dr. Fauci, do you still think that we could reach 100,000 infections a day?
A F: You know, Norah, I don’t think we will. I hope not. It is conceivable that if we don’t get good control over the current outbreak and we keep spreading into other regions of the country, we could reach 100,000. If anything, I think you have to at least leave that possibility on the table to get people to realize how important it is for us to get control of this. Remember, we went from 20,000 cases a day to 40,000, and then we went up to 60,000. The last thing in the world I want to see is for us to reach 100,000 per day.
NO: What have we done wrong?
A F: You know, that’s almost an unanswerable question. There are so many possibilities. I don’t like to phrase it in the context of what we’ve done wrong, as opposed to let’s take a look at what happened and maybe we can have lessons learned. We never got it down to baseline for a number of reasons. Perhaps it was the lack of compliance of people in the country or the kinds of restrictions that we felt would be appropriate. If you look at the European curve, they came down essentially to baseline, which is very different than us. So, [they] stomped out the infection pretty well. When they started to open up again, there wasn’t that much infection around. If you look at the European countries, they shut down about 90 to 95 percent of the country. Whereas when we shut down, the calculation is that we shut down about 50 percent. So, put all of those factors together, I can’t say we did anything wrong, you know, but certainly we’ve got to do better.
NO: So how can we do better?
A F: What we need to do now is to learn the lesson of what happened with the recent surges. We’ve got to pause in the opening and maybe even take a step back in our phases, depending upon what state you happen to be in. I don’t want to see [the country] going back down to complete lockdown. I think that it will be very difficult for the States to accept that. As we try to proceed, we need to really take seriously the issue of wearing masks all the time and not congregating in bars. I think we can stop that by just closing them, because they are certainly an important mechanism of this spread. Keep distances, wash hands, avoid crowds, wear a mask … I think if we diligently do those things, we can turn this around.
NO: It’s been recently reminded to us by the White House that you advised against people wearing masks in public, and, of course, that was due to the surge because the concern was about saving PPEs for medical professionals. Do you regret that comment?
A F: No. I don’t regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct. We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs and masks for the health providers who are putting themselves in harm’s way every day to take care of sick people. That’s what the dialogue was in the task force meetings, which led all of us, not just me but also [U.S. Surgeon General] Jerome Adams, to say, “Right now we really need to save the masks for the people who need them most.” When it became clear that the infection could be spread by asymptomatic carriers who don’t know they’re infected, that made it very clear that we had to strongly recommend masks. And also, it soon became clear that we had enough protective equipment and that cloth masks and homemade masks were as good as masks that you would buy from surgical supply stores. So in the context of when we were not strongly recommending it, it was the correct thing. But our knowledge changed and our realization of the state of the outbreak changed.
NO: Do you believe there are enough surgical and N95 masks for health-care professionals for the current surge and for a potential one in the fall?
A F: You’ll have to ask [assistant secretary for health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services] Brett Giroir that question, not me, since I’m not responsible for that. I hope we do.
NO: Got it. I saw the promising news today about Moderna [the biotech firm announced on July 14 that its experimental coronavirus vaccine is ready to advance to a final phase of testing]. Where do we stand in terms of when there might be a vaccine available for most of the public?
A F: It was very good news that the New England Journal of Medicine reported that the Phase 1 trial substantial titers of neutralizing antibodies were induced, which is the gold standard for prediction of protection. So that was a very good news story for the day. We’re going to start the Phase 3 trial in the third or fourth week of July. That is going to take place over the rest of the summer and into the fall. If all goes well and there aren’t any unanticipated bumps in the road, hopefully, we should know whether the vaccine is safe and effective by the end of this calendar year, or the beginning of 2021. The companies, both Moderna and other companies that are involved with the development of vaccines, promise that as we get into 2021, there’ll be an ample supply because they’re going to start making the doses imminently. By the beginning of the year we should have the first tens of millions and then hundreds of millions of doses. That being the case, I would think we could vaccinate a substantial portion of the population as we get into 2021 — if the vaccine is safe and effective.
NO: I talked to [National Institutes of Health director] Dr. [Francis] Collins today, and he was telling me about the four different trials that will begin on July 27, but you need 120,000 volunteers.
AF: Exactly. It’s 30,000 volunteers per trial.
NO: That’s a lot, right?
A F: Well, the more people you have in the trial, the more infections there are, and the greater efficacy. All of those things get you an answer quicker.
NO: Do you see yourself as a public-health official?
A F: Yeah! I’m a scientist, I’m a physician, and I’ve been heavily involved in public-health matters for the last 36 to 40 years.
NO: And in your 36 years as a scientist and public-health official, have you ever been denied the ability to speak to a journalist or the American public on broadcast television before?
A F: You know, sometimes they don’t allow you out regardless of what administration you’re in. There were times in every administration where they want to focus on a given message. I’m talking about any administration: Obama, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Reagan. But generally, they don’t have a broad restriction when you’re going on.
NO: The last time you were on the CBS Evening News was April 15. And we’ve asked for you every week repeatedly for the past three months. I mean, more than a dozen times. Is that muzzling?
A F: I don’t want [you] to be putting words in my mouth. That’s only going to be nonproductive.
NO: Well, how important is it for a public-health official to speak to the public?
A F: It is important, and I did that on Tuesday at Georgetown, which was shown widely on C-SPAN and picked up by a number of the networks, so there are other ways of getting out there.

NO: I think you used these words with a colleague of mine, but why do you think you’ve become “persona non grata” in the White House?A F: Well, you know, that really changes week to week and month to month. Sometimes you say things that are not widely accepted in the White House, and that’s just a fact of life.
NO: How much longer do you see yourself in your current role?
A F: When you said my current role, you mean the coronavirus task force or director of NIAID [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases]?
NO: I guess I’ll start with the coronavirus task force! [laughs]
A F: Well, I see myself in that role as long as I feel that I’m being useful, and I’m valued in it, and the White House wants me. If any of the above changes, then I would step down.
NO: And how long do you see yourself at the NIAID?
A F: I don’t see any termination within the near future because I judge [my career] by my energy and my effectiveness. And right now, with all due modesty, I think I’m pretty effective. I certainly am energetic. And I think everybody thinks I’m doing more than an outstanding job. I have a wife with incredibly good judgment, who will probably give me the signal when it’s time to step down. But I don’t think we’re anywhere near that right now.
NO: And is that role determined by the president and the White House?
A F: No.
NO: You can’t be fired from that role?
A F: No.
NO: How would you describe your relationship with President Trump?
A F: You know, it’s complicated. Because in some respects I have a very good relationship with him. During the times that I was seeing him a fair amount, it was quite a collegial relationship. And in many respects, it probably still is, but I don’t see him very much anymore.
NO: Why do you think that is?
A F: I think the tenor of what goes on in the White House has changed a bit. It’s very much now focused on reopening, and there’s a lot of attention being paid to economic and other advisers. So the task force and the doctors still meet regularly, and we have a very close, almost daily relationship with the vice president, and he briefs the president every single day on what we talk about. So in some respects, even though it’s indirect as opposed to direct, we still have access to the president through the vice president.
NO: How much of your day do you spend dedicated to finding a vaccine?
A F: The days vary. I get in there very early, working on NIAID business. It’s more than just coronavirus, but lately it’s been dominated by coronavirus. Then we have a daily meeting about the vaccine and the therapeutics and all the other things that go along with that. Then most days I’ll go down to the White House either to meet with the other doctors, meet with the vice president, talk with the staff, and then come back to the NIAID unit and do the 700 emails that are waiting for me.
NO: [laughs] That’s too many emails. So on to some of the more personal questions. How do you stay healthy?
A F: Well, I make exercise a significant part of my regimen. Christine and I put in 3½ miles of power walking every day. I used to say “run,” but I don’t run very much anymore because at the end of the run, various parts of my body hurt so much. Power walking is very enjoyable and relaxing, and we look forward to it. I must say, Chris is always ahead of me because she’s faster and in better shape.
CG: Since this pandemic began, I think we’ve been trying to walk every day, even if it’s sometimes late in the evening. It’s for mental and physical health.
A F: We’ve been lucky this summer because we have three daughters, who we miss very much. One of our daughters, Megan, is a schoolteacher in New Orleans, and when they shut down the schools there, she drove up here with her dog and stayed with us for a couple of months. And that was fantastic. Not only to see her but to have the dog. That gave us a lot of mental health. [laughs]
NO: Let me ask you, Chris, as a bioethicist, what do you make of this moment we’re in, when even a mask has become more of a divisive issue?
CG: Well, I would say that masks shouldn’t be divisive. It’s a relatively easy way to protect one’s self and others. And so for public health reasons, I think everybody should do it. From an ethical perspective there is always this tension between what you ask people to do that feels like a restriction of their liberty and what is required for public health. And in this case, it seems like a slam dunk. It’s not restricting liberty much, and it’s very helpful for public health.
NO: And how is your work life? Are you also working long hours?
CG: Yeah, we work too much. [laughs] He works more than I do. I have been working at home, and that creates a situation where there are no boundaries. I wake up in the morning and go to my computer first thing, and then I work until night. There is no difference between Monday and Saturday. There is no difference between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. It’s not a healthy way to live, but…
NO: True. It’s important to have a place to go every day. Your husband has been in the spotlight for a long time, but given the current pandemic that we are in, how have you counseled him on that? How have you viewed it?
CG: Well, I mean, I think the thing that drives Tony is commitment to public health. And if it feels like he’s making a contribution to public health, then he’ll do it. He doesn’t care about stopping to eat or doing other things that are normal. He’s committed, and he works hard. People ask him to do things, and he continues to do it. So when he gets criticized, it feels unfair to me because he is working so hard for the right reasons.
NO: What feels unfair?
CG: That people are looking for things to criticize — I mean, for anything. They are making things up. They are not putting into perspective the contribution that he is making.
NO: What is the message about how you deal with criticism in the face of some very powerful people? What do you do?
CG: I think you stay focused on what your job is. As Tony said before, as long as his perspective is still valued and he’s making a difference, a contribution, then great. If that changes, then he’ll have to change.
NO: What do you think some of the ethical issues are with COVID-19 that we are going to have to focus on?
CG: There are millions of them, and we’ve been focusing on them. Starting with the issues around what do you do when a hospital gets to capacity and has no more beds or no more equipment? What do you do for health-care workers when they don’t have adequate PPE and are putting themselves at risk? Issues around end-of-life care for people who are dying alone and there are no visitors allowed and no extra support for them. Issues around public-health measures that need to be in place and the restrictions quote unquote on individual liberty. Issues around testing and immunity. Issues around distribution of health-care resources. I mean, there are just a million issues that have an ethical string to them.
NO: What would you say is your proudest achievement?
CG: My proudest achievement is probably my kids. And I’m also proud of what I’ve done at work. I’ve come a long way in terms of my career. When I first started, bioethics didn’t really exist. And now I’m the head of the department of bioethics, and I think I have made some useful contributions to the field.
Dr. Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci photographed at home exclusively for InStyle on June 6. Photographed by Frankie Alduino.
NO: And what advice do you have for young women who might be interested in entering STEM or in bioethics?CG: I am a big proponent of young people getting involved in science and technology. And especially women — but not only women, young men too. I think there are so many important and interesting things that can be done in science. I find it amazing that more people aren’t interested in finding scientific careers. Bioethics is a wonderful complement to science because all scientific endeavors have interesting bioethical issues. You have to understand the science in order to understand the ethical issues, and then you think about them in a constructive and useful way.
NO: Since you mentioned the lack of boundaries between work and the rest of your life, do you have to remind Tony to eat or stay healthy or drink water or anything like that?
CG: Yes, especially at the beginning — especially when I had to almost put a glass of water in his hands and get him to eat. [laughs] He has gotten better about that, but still, if he’s got too much to do, he’ll just go and go and go. I do have to remind him to eat and sleep and to drink water.
NO: And Tony, what about with Chris?
AF: She’s pretty good. She got more common sense than I do, that’s for sure. She works as hard as I do, but she doesn’t go off on these stretches of just forgetting about everything else except work, which I tend to do. I get distracted and go into a zone.
NO: How and when did you guys meet?
CG: We met at the NIH in 1983. I had just come to work there that summer, and Tony had been there for a while and was an attending on the unit that I was working on. I came on as the clinical nurse specialist. We met over the bed of a patient.
NO: Keep going!
CG: [laughs] I had just come back from spending two years with Project Hope in Brazil and came to work at the NIH. There was a patient, Pedro, on the unit at the time who was Brazilian and didn’t speak English. One day he asked me if I could speak to his doctors about sending him home because he really wanted to go home. So I set up a meeting with the fellows who were taking care of him and Tony, who was the attending physician. I had not met Tony before that. I was the interpreter. And Tony told him, “He may go home and be very careful about taking care of his health and doing his dressings and sitting with his leg up and things like that.” And when I told him that, Pedro said, “There’s no way I’m doing that. I’ve been in the hospital for months. I’m going to the beach, and I’m going dancing at night.” And I sort of in a split second decided to tell Tony, “He said he’d do exactly what you said.”
AF: She lied! [laughs]
CG: I lied! So the next day I was walking down the hall, and Dr. Fauci came by and said, “Can I see you in my office at the end of the day?” I thought I was going to get fired. But he asked me out to dinner. [laughs]
NO: [laughs] Why did you ask her out to dinner?
A F: Cause it was love at first sight. [laughs] She was intelligent, beautiful, spoke multiple languages, and she had a very wonderful bedside manner. I immediately said, “That’s a good start, so I have to go out with her.” That was in 1983, and we got married in 1985.
NO: If you ever get a chance to watch something together or listen to an album, what do you choose to listen or watch?
CG: Well, lately, all we watch is the news. [laughs] But I really like cop shows, like Chicago P.D., for example. It’s a great show, and Tony has come to like it. He likes the action-type shows and movies. The Jason Bourne movies are some of his favorites. But in the last four months I don’t think we’ve watched almost anything.
NO: Yeah, I haven’t either.
A F: I used to read two books a month for a total of about 25 a year. I used to alternate between biographies and history, as well as spy and detective and intrigue novels. And now, ever since coronavirus, I’ve actually stopped reading. I just don’t have time. I really used to enjoy reading in the evening or on a plane or on the treadmill. I don’t go on the treadmill anymore, and I haven’t been on a plane since January. Anyway. Simple life.
NO: I know. You are 79 years old. You are in a high-risk category even though you are healthy, right?
AF: Right, exactly.
NO: What do your daughters make of your job during this pandemic?
AF: My daughters are amazing young ladies. As you would expect, they love and care about their dad but are very worried about me. Worried about…
CG: The stress.
AF: The stress of the work. This real and perceived built-up conflict between me and the president makes them very nervous. They don’t like that. They got upset by the death threats and the harassment that I received early on. So it’s been tough on them; this has been a tough deal for them.
NO: How are you doing now with all of that stuff?
A F: All right. I don’t like the conflict. I’m an apolitical person. I don’t like to be pitted against the president. It’s pretty tough walking a tightrope while trying to get your message out and people are trying to pit you against the president. It’s very stressful.
NO: Last question: What is your favorite meal together?
A F: Our favorite meal together has to be pasta … pasta and a glass of wine. [laughs]
What a cagey SOB.
3 years agoReply to felix1999I cropped the image too much… I didn’t want you to miss out on his PATRIOTIC socks as he casually sits by his pool trying to look like an old rock star. Polls have shown that more women TRUST Fauci than men. This was a proganda interview to correct the truth that is out there on him. He has to keep the lie alive and present himself in an appealing manner.

3 years agoPuppet-master Soros’ actual intent, to dismantle Bill of Rights, and Close-Down United States Society? Demolish the Constitution, and set up nightmare-envisioned Soros Globalist Institution?
INFLUNCE WATCH: Born in the D.R. of Congo, and of Haitian parents, Patrick Gaspard worked on the un-reverent Jesse [Shake-down] Jackson’s ’88 presidential campaign.
“Prior to joining OSF, he served as United States Ambassador to South Africa and White House Director of Political Affairs under President Barack Obama and in a number of positions with other Democratic politicians and the 1199SEIU labor union.”
(His foul fingerprints may stain South Africa tragedy. Appointed Ambassador there, by Barack Obama in his regime’s second term. Maybe at his master Soros bidding, Gaspard wants to create a North American “Rainbow Nation” country, South African style. Reimagined in Soviet shades of black-terror and gray-repression, as in totalitarian.
Spawn of New York politics (where else). …. He served “in the ‘inner ring’ of advisors to Mayor Bill [Marx] de Blasio’s ‘kitchen cabinet’ in 2013.”

This demon should have been stopped years ago. The damage he has done to America is irreparable.
Someone needs to take him out of the game.
3 years agoMr President, please ask the Israelis to do the job they are trained to do.
Mossad went after and captured Eichmann. Mossad eventually took care of every Palestinian scumbag who did the Olympics job. They are perfect for this.
Trump would get all kinds of grief for tasking the CIA but, with a nod and a wink, he could easily tell Netanyahu to handle it.
Soros is an international criminal. He is openly fomenting a race war in this country and is laughing all the way to the bank.

3 years agoInteresting statements in light of the Pandora’s Box manner in which this virus was intentionally released, followed by the most brazen efforts to “Flood the Zone” (Event 201) with so much confusion and conflicting ‘expert’ advice, that the average Joe just wants to give up trying to figure it out (remember, Fauci has been in charge of an infectious disease org. for 36yrs and he wants ya’ll to believe that he had no idea that home made masks would be just as good as any at containing the spread. Any virus is stopped by a mask…it doesn’t matter if its ‘novel’)
“The moment we’ve been investing in for 25yrs”…give that man a cigar for telling some truth. ‘They’ played their hand with getting their ball rolling with the virus, and have either set-up or capitalized on events since to throw even the ‘kitchen sink’ into the mix…throw some more gasoline on that…fan those flames…burn it all down.
The writing is on the wall…get yourself prepared.
3 years agoWhat about the systemic racism against whites in Soros funded organisations? Shouldn’t he first attend to his flock before pointing the finger at others?
In Africa white lives don’t matter. In Asia, white lives don’t matter. In South America most white lives don’t matter. In Japan, white lives don’t matter much. In South East Asia, white lives aren’t too important so they don’t matter that much. In India, white lives aren’t that important to matter that much. In North Africa white lives were once the slaves, so since they are free they don’t matter too much. Now, in white majority nations, being white isn’t supposed to matter much; it is considered being vile, must be made a second class citizen, and should show respect to all other races, especially those who hate white for being born white.
Society institutionalised anti-white racism in all nations must be wiped out; right Mr. Soros?
3 years agoImagine being a follower of a Self Avowed Nazi, Herr Soros
3 years agoWe can complain and expose Soros but that will never stop him and his ilk. They must be held responsible for the immense damage they have caused and I’m talking about the damage their agents, the BLM, and Antifa and others have caused to hundreds of thousands across the US to suffer hundreds of billions in losses. A concerted, organized and well funded legal effort to bring them to justice and to hold Soros liable for the damages must be launched. Seize their money and you cut off the head of the snake. The key to neutralizing is to attack and seize this wealth. Soros and his foundations and money are not immune. Trump and the Republican Senate have given us over 200 federal judges. Let’s put that resource to work and crush Soros. I’d like to see that mansion on the auction block to satisfy his debts and the discovery process should unearth enough evidence of the widespread crime to put him and his agents in SuperMax.
3 years agoFind him and hang him… for sedition and TREASON…

The Black Lives Matter movement being a NAZI-Soros funded BLACK RACIST HATE cult… is spreading more hate and division than any other organization in America.

Just look at NYC, Chi-cago, LA, Seattle… et.al.

3 years agoThe autopsy report says Floyd died of a heart attack and that no life-threatening injuries were inflicted by police restraint.
Once again, here is the link to the official medical examiner’s report of the autopsy which was released “with the consent and cooperation of Mr. George Floyd’s family and their legal representatives.”
First notice the case title:
CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST COMPLICATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SUBDUAL, RESTRAINT, AND NECK COMPRESSION
What is this telling us? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, subdual means overcoming or quietening. The title says that the ability of the police to deal with Floyd was complicated by Floyd’s undergoing cardiopulmonary arrest and that the report investigates the issues of restraint and neck compression, writes Dr. Paul Craig Roberts.
As for the restraint and neck compression, no life-threatening injuries resulted.
The irresponsibility of the American media has resulted in enormous death and destruction in the 21st century.
Seven countries have been destroyed in whole or part by transparent lies supported by the US media.
