We’ve watched Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) thugs (accurate term) burn and loot major US cities in the name of “social justice.” In response, city officials backed away and told police to stand down.

Oh, yes. “Thugs” accurately describes Antifa and BLM activists. In true Marxist fashion, both Antifa and BLM advocate that the means justify the ends. This includes force and violence if intimidation won’t do. Of note, BLM never disassociated itself from the more vicious Antifa. Both are fellow travelers agreeing that America was illegitimately founded and must be reconstituted to suit their own vision. To do this, America must be torn down first and rebuilt later.

A normal person asks a multitude of questions. Who pays for or otherwise supports BLM-Antifa riots? Who funds their domestic terrorism? Who funds per diem, lodging, and travel for out-of-state rioters? Who pays bail for rioters allowing them to return to the streets to engage in further mayhem?

On the last question, an on-line fund raiser organized by the Portland General Defense Committee has already raised $500,000 as of June 4, 2020 for rioters’ bail and legal fees. For grins, check out their Facebook page at Facebook.com/pdxgdc.

One would think subsidizing riots would be a great gig for an investigative journalist – if there were any left in the dominant media. Subsequent to the publishing the story there would be book and movie deals.

In fact, investigative reporter Ashley Rae Goldenberg produce a comprehensive list of companies supporting Antifa and BLM. Her list may be found at:

Another article detailing funding explicitly for BLM may be found at: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/11/the-complex-funding-and-ideology-of-black-lives-matter/. Companies financially supporting a Marxist organization (along with sums donated) truly astounds. They must be either ignorant of what they are doing or complicit in forcing the reconstruction of America as a socialist state.

Enter George Soros. Financial ties of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) are complicated. Even so, he has given an estimated $32 billion to the OSF. Soros didn’t become a billionaire by being stupid. By design he ensured the legality of his funding operations through OSF. There is an old saying, “If you walk too close to the stream, you are liable to slip in.” By walking on the edge, Soros may yet inculpate himself.

A hacked Soros memo establishes financial ties. Quoting from Breitbart,

“The documents…confirm that the Open Society last year approved $650,000 to ‘invest in technical assistance and support for the groups at the core of the burgeoning #BlackLivesMatter movement’…The information was contained in a detailed 69-page Open Society report on the agenda of an Open Society U.S. Programs board meeting held in New York October 1 to October 2, 2015…The report directly states the Open Society views the Baltimore unrest last year as a crisis that can be utilized to carry out the organization’s agenda…The investment was well worth it, it seems. A second document on the Open Society U.S. Programs board meeting February 11-12 of this year relates Black Lives Matter worked to influence the 2016 presidential campaign.” (Breitbart, 8/16/20)

In another hacked memo, Breitbart discusses, “The document identifies an opportunity in the police killings of African-American men in Ferguson, Staten Island, North Charleston, and Baltimore. It relates that the U.S. contingent of Open Society held a planning meeting titled, ‘Police Reform: How to Take Advantage of the Crisis of the Moment and Drive Long-Term Institutional Change in Police-Community Practice’…It identifies Black Lives Matter as central to the national campaign…The Open Society also called for a discussion on whether it would be appropriate for the Soros group to try to ‘shape’ Black Lives Matter in the future...” (Breitbart, 8/30/20)

Some people speculate, with good reason, that drug cartels from south of the border would fund Antifa and BLM for their own nefarious purposes. Why not? They have little to lose and everything to gain by poking their finger in the eye of Estates Unites del Norte. However, little evidence verifies the claim. After all, investigative reporting on cartel activity can be deadly.

Let’s hope the FBI is tracking funding of these domestic terrorist groups.

Many people justifiably suspect that multi-city riots around the US are not about promoting “social justice.” That becomes the moniker applied to the con job foisted on Americans and repeated endlessly by the media. The riots are chiefly about forcing political change through deception in an election year.

Never let a crisis go to waste.
