In his work Poetics, Aristotle gave us the concept “art is an imitation of life.” Oscar Wilde reversed this concept by quipping, “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.”
George Soros image and actions have long fit into Wilde’s rewrite.
Indeed, the Hungarian-born billionaire’s public persona could have been inspired by Ian Fleming’s villains in his James Bond novels. Soros, who is now 95 years old, could be a combination of Dr. No and Ernst Stavro Blofeld (a character the Austin Powers trilogy parodied so well!). Indeed, Soros’ Open Society Foundations can be SPECTRE level nefarious.
The Washington Free Beacon recently jumped into this topic with a piece titled, “‘Assault on Our Sovereignty’: How George Soros Funds Foreign Government Lawsuits Against American Gun Makers.”
The report details how Soros’ Open Society Foundations helped fund the anti-gun group Global Action on Gun Violence (GAGV), which worked with Mexico to bring a lawsuit against U.S. firearms manufacturers, a case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court—the Court ruled 9-0 that Mexico could not make gun makers pay for criminal actions in Mexico.
“Over the years, Soros has funneled $32 billion to the Open Society Foundations, which in turn bankrolls many leftwing causes throughout the world,” explains NRA-ILA.
Indeed, Soros’ money has been used against Americans’ Second Amendment rights for decades.
“In 2000, Open Society published a widely circulated report entitled, Gun Control in the United States. The publication called for a host of new federal and state gun restrictions … . In the early 2000s, Open Society also gave support to gun control groups such as the Million Mom March, the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, and Women Against Gun Violence. Further, the group funded various dubious lawsuits against the gun industry, including a high-profile case brought by the NAACP.
“In 2013, Open Society granted $150,000 to the gun-control collaborative Fund for a Safer Future. This month, the collaborative announced that former Co-Deputy Director of White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention Rob Wilcox would be leading the group. Member organizations include Everytown for Gun Safety and the Joyce Foundation, which funds handgun prohibitionist group Violence Policy Center,” continued NRA-ILA.
This support for anti-Second Amendment advocacy from Soros has continued. Open Society has provided grants to the Brady Campaign to prevent Gun Violence (formerly Handgun Control, Inc.), March for Our Lives Action Fund and Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
“Then there is Open Society’s 2023, two-year, $300,000 grant to GAGV. Open Society is also listed on GAGV’s website as a ‘philanthropic partner.’ The stated ‘action strategy’ of GAGV is to use litigation against the gun industry,” notes NRA-ILA.
This is big and often foreign money that is being used to attempt to curtail freedom here in America. More citizens of this nation need to know they are being influenced by foreign actors with nefarious agendas.
