The Deep State Conspiracy to Destroy Trump Helped by Soros Money

International Man, a website that's part of Bob Casey" financial/political group, asked an interesting question on Wednesday : "Is George Soros behind this plot to topple Trump?" • • • CAN THE DEEP STATE TOPPLE TRUMP? Nick Giambruno wrote the article that was published on International Man, concluding that "the establishment is setting up Donald Trump." Giambruno says that every part of the establishment hates Trump -- the mainstream media, Hollywood, the “ 'Intellectual Yet Idiot' academia class, and most critically, the CIA hates him. So does the rest of the Deep State -- the permanently entrenched 'national security' bureaucracy. They did everything possible to stop Trump from taking office. None of it worked." According to Giambruno, the CIA hates Trump "for a very simple reason: he’s threatening to take away their livelihood. Trump wants to make nice with Putin and the Russians. But countering the so-called 'Russian threat' is how many thousands of Deep State bureaucrats make a living. These people feed off the trough of the $1 trillion-plus military/security budget. Playing nice with the Russians would kill their jobs -- and end their way of life." Trump has said he will stop the US policy of toppling regimes, and writes Giambruno : "Toppling regimes is the CIA’s bread and butter. No wonder they hate him....The CIA is the undisputed all-time world champion of orchestrating coups. And right now, Trump is squarely on its radar." Giambruno cites several ways in which the CIA and the Deep State could topple Trump : (1) The Delegitimization Card -- through CIA officers based out of US embassies, various coups d’état have taken place over the past 17 years (Serbia, 2000; Georgia, 2003; Ukraine, 2004 and 2014; Kyrgyzstan, 2005; Lebanon, 2005; Belarus, 2006; Myanmar, 2007; Iran, 2009, though that one didn't work; Moldova, 2009; Macedonia, 2016). • We cannot confirm that the CIA fostered all these govenrment coups, but Giambruno says each one has a common thread : "In each case, George Soros’ NGOs helped delegitimize the targeted government. Here’s how it worked : Soros’ NGOs would help fund and organize 'professional protestors.' Then they’d use color-specific branding to help rally others to their cause. Soros has turned revolutions into a science. The pattern is predictable. Now it’s playing out in the US....the CIA and George Soros’ NGOs are trying to start a revolution in the US, just like they’ve done in numerous foreign countries." (2) Giambruno doesn't think the Deep State can get rid of Trump with the Delegitimization Card alone. So they will have to escalate to the next option, The Herbert Hoover Card. Here's how Giambruno describes this coup : "When people think of President Hoover, they mostly think of the Great Depression.Throughout the 1920s, the Federal Reserve’s easy money policies helped create an enormous stock market bubble. In August 1929, the Fed raised interest rates and effectively ended the easy credit. Only a few months later, the bubble burst on Black Tuesday, in October 1929 -- barely seven months after Hoover took office. The Dow lost over 12% that day. It was the most devastating stock market crash in the US up to that point. It also signaled the beginning of the Great Depression. This happened on Hoover’s watch. And because of that, people pinned the blame squarely on him, regardless of where the fault lied. Hoover inherited a stock market bubble near its peak -- fueled by the Fed’s easy money policies. I think Trump has, too. And he knows it. In recent months he’s called the stock market a 'big, fat, ugly bubble.' There’s an excellent chance this bubble will burst on Trump’s watch. And Democrats will pin the blame on him, just as they did with Hoover. (3) But if that fails as well, then there remains The John F. Kennedy Card. Giambruno cites Chuck Schumer, a powerful Democratic senator and quintessential Deep State swamp creature, who recently said : “ 'Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.' It doesn’t take much imagination to understand what he’s alluding to. Trump taken the unusual step of supplementing his Secret Service protection with loyal private security. • There are only three possible outcomes to the Deep State’s war on Trump, says Giambruno : "Trump will defeat the Deep State; The Deep State will co-opt Trump; or, The Deep State will overthrow Trump. As things stand, I think it’s unlikely Trump will defeat the Deep State. It’s been entrenched for decades. And it’s far more powerful than the President. It’s also unlikely the Deep State will co-opt Trump. It’s just not in his personality to submit and roll over. He didn’t overcome all the odds to become President just to be another empty suit. The Deep State will play the Herbert Hoover Card next. But if that doesn’t work -- or if the Deep State starts to get antsy -- they’ll move forward to overthrow him by any means possible." • • • WHAT IS SOROS UP TO? In a March 20 article, USA TODAY revealed that multiple groups working to oppose President Donald Trump's agenda were getting ready to meet with Democracy Alliance, a collection of Progressive donors that includes George Soros. USA TODAY reported : "A network of some of the nation’s wealthiest Democratic donors is weighing providing money and support to several of the new activist groups that have cropped up since Election Day to challenge President Trump and his agenda." January’s Women’s March on Washington organizers and Indivisible leaders will make presentations this week to the Democracy Alliance as the influential donor coalition holds its private spring meeting in Washington, the group’s president Gara LaMarche said. LaMarche said he already has sought to connect Alliance contributors to Indivisible, one of the groups at the forefront of anti-Trump efforts. Its organizers, led by former Democratic congressional aides, have created a how-to manual “for resisting the Trump agenda” that is modeled on conservative Tea Party tactics [WRONG -- it is modeled on Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals almost verbatim] and has encouraged shows of opposition at congressional town hall meetings. More than 5,500 local groups are using the guide to fight administration policies, organizers say." LaMarche told USA TODAY : “Everybody is impressed by what’s come up in a grassroots sense and doing what we can to support that and connect that up to a larger infrastructure." According to USA TODAY, the Alliance, aligned with billionaire financier George Soros, is weighing building a pool of money that can be deployed for “rapid response” work by other liberal groups on an array of issues, such as challenging the Trump administration on the deportation of undocumented immigrants. • Soros financial backing for anti-Trump groups will anger conservatives. In a recent Fox News interview, White House spokesman Sean Spicer called the liberal activism at sometimes rowdy congressional town halls a “very paid, Astroturf-type movement.” Trump himself tweeted that many of the “so-called angry crowds” confronting Republicans were “planned out by liberal activists.” • USA TODAY states that Ezra Levin, a former congressional aide who helped start Indivisible with his wife, Leah Greenberg, and other ex-Capitol Hill staffers, said the group is “is very much led on the ground” by activists who are determined to take action against Trump and is not under the sway of any one donor or group. Levin told USA TODAY that the group has received more than 10,000 donations totaling more than $500,000 since last January through ActBlue, a fundraising engine for liberal candidates and causes. Levin said the group wants to continue to have a broad fundraising base, even as it looks to groups such as the Democracy Alliance for additional help : “We’re certainly not looking for anybody to own it by providing like some kind of enormous amount. That’s not our model.” But, both Levin and Greenberg are Soros protégés. • And, in recent years, the Democracy Alliance has focused on supporting a network of liberal groups working on long-term issues, such as boosting voting rights and increasing the minimum wage. It also has made a big investment in building liberal power in the states ahead of the 2020 Census, which will shape the next round of legislative redistricting. The GOP redistricting successes after the last Census in 2010 helped cement Republican power in Congress and the states. The Democracy Alliance, formed in 2005, has close ties to some of the biggest names in liberal politics. Soros helped found the group along with Taco Bell heir Rob McKay and other wealthy Democrats. The network does not release the names of its donors, but other contributors identified with the group have included Tom Steyer, a billionaire environmentalist from California who contributed more than $90 million to politically active super PACs in the 2016 election cycle. USA TODAY explained that "the Democracy Alliance does not donate directly to groups. Instead, its 120 or so donors -- officially termed “partners” -- pay annual dues to the Alliance. They also are required to contribute at least $200,000 a year to organizations the Alliance recommends. Those groups currently include the Obama-aligned Organizing for Action, the liberal Center for American Progress think tank and Color of Change, whose political action arm last year successfully pressured several big corporations to boycott the Republican National Convention over Trump’s rhetoric about women, Moslems and Latinos." The Democracy Alliance’s spring gathering is preceded by a two-day, invitation-only Summit, which opened Wednesday. The Summit will focus exclusively on liberal efforts to win back political power in the states, where Republicans currently control 33 governors’ mansions. About 420 people are expected to attend the Summit, dubbed “A Time for Action,” marking the largest gathering in the Alliance’s 12-year-history. LaMarche said about 200 Alliance "partners" and others will attend the main conference, following the Summit. Topics will include strategies for regaining ground with the working-class voters who backed Trump. The Democracy Alliance’s spring gathering this week is closed to the public. • • • SOROS MEDDLES IN MACEDONIA. Fox News reported in mid-February that George Soros' alleged meddling in European politics has caught the attention of Congress. Concerns about Soros' involvement most recently were raised by the Hungarian prime minister, who last week lashed out at the Soros "empire" and accused it of deploying "tons of money and international heavy artillery." Fox says : "A few days earlier, Republican lawmakers in Washington started asking questions about whether US tax dollars also were being used to fund Soros projects in the small, conservative-led country of Macedonia. GOP Representative Christopher Smith led a group of House lawmakers in writing to Ambassador Jess Baily -- an Obama appointee -- demanding answers. Senator Mike Lee, another Republican, also expressed concerns about USAID money going to Soros' Open Society foundations as part of a broader concern that the US Embassy has been taking sides in party politics : “I have received credible reports that, over the past few years, the US Mission to Macedonia has actively intervened in the party politics of Macedonia, as well as the shaping of its media environment and civil society, often favoring groups of one political persuasion over another." Together, the concerns reflect growing conservative pushback against Soros operations in Europe. The Soros Open Society political funding came during the Obama presidency and was implemented through Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. • Senator Lee and Representative Smith were first alerted to the Soros foreign policy meddling through events in Macedonia. Former Macedonian PM Nikola Gruevski says Soros has a "decisive influence" on his country’s politics. “If it were not for George Soros behind it with all the millions he pours into Macedonia, the entire network of NGOs, media, politicians, inside and out...the economy would be stronger, we would have had more new jobs,” Gruevski said in a recent interview with Macedonia’s Republika newspaper. Macedonia, a small country, is broadly conservative. It has a flat rate tax of 10%, a small-government philosophy and a ruling conservative party (VMRO-DPMNE) that has greeted the election of President Trump warmly and pledged to work with him. • Senator Lee’s staff recently met with Macedonia lawmakers, who also passed on a white paper from a citizen’s initiative called “Stop Operation Soros” which alleges US money has been funding hard-left causes in the country -- including violent riots in the streets, as well as a Macedonian version of Saul Alinsky’s far-left handbook “Rules for Radicals.” In an extensive 40-page report, the group alleges USAID money is being used to fund activists and exclusively left-wing media groups as a way to sway the country’s politics. The Open Society Foundations did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News. • On the Soros connection, Lee’s letter asked if the US Mission has “selected the Open Society Foundations as the major implementer of USAID projects in Macedonia” and if the group has been perceived to have political bias in Macedonia. In a reply dated February 9, the State Department told Lee that the Mission in Macedonia has worked to advance US interests “in a non-biased, non-partisan, objective and transparent manner.” The reply claimed US government assistance has not funded partisan political activities in Macedonia, but noted that from 2002 to the present, USAID had provided three grants to 'Foundation Open Society -- Macedonia' (FOSM). Fox News says one of these grants is outlined on the USAID website. Between 2012 and 2016, USAID gave almost $5 million in taxpayer cash to FOSM for “The Civil Society Project,” which “aims to empower Macedonian citizens to hold government accountable.” USAID’s website gives a link to www.soros.org.mk, and says the project trained hundreds of young Macedonians “in youth activism and the use of new media instruments.” The letter from the State Department to Lee also said USAID recently funded a new Civic Engagement Project which partners with four organizations, including FOSM. It was not clear how much this project would cost, but Representative Smith put the figure at $9.5 million, telling Family Research Council's Tony Perkins : “The money is very significant, in fact there is still money in the pipeline, from 2017 to 2021, $9.5 million. It’s one thing to do election monitoring, which is a very noble cause to make sure there’s free and fair elections, but it’s quite another thing to be backing parties that Soros and his gang want to see in control of that country.” • • • SOROS IN ALBANIA. It isn’t the only time Soros has worked with the State Department. Among the emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta released by Wikileaks was one from 2011 in which Soros urged Hillary Clinton to take action in Albania over recent demonstrations in the capital of Tirana. Soros asked Clinton to “bring the full weight of the international community to bear on Prime Minister Berisha and opposition leader Edi Rama to forestall further public demonstrations and to tone down public pronouncements” and appoint a senior European official as mediator. Within a few days, an envoy was dutifully dispatched. • Former Macedonian PM Gruevski cited the WikiLeaks emails as proof “[Soros] can go visit top leading American officials whenever he wants to, arranges meetings day in day out and has significant influence.” While Soros has often been a bogeyman for the American right, the liberal businessman has kept a steady pressure and funding of left-wing causes within America as well. • • • SOROS IN HUNGARY. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban last week ripped into the "trans-border empire" of Hungary-born billionaire George Soros. Orban has been one of the central European voices speaking out against the push by EU leaders to absorb Syrian refugees and has been criticized for his hardline stance. Soros' Open Society Foundations -- one of the billionaire's biggest groups operating across the globe -- fired back, saying Orban was trying to deflect attention from other issues. Laura Silber, the Open Society Foundation's chief communications officer, said in a statement to The Associated Press : “The Open Society Foundations for over 30 years have supported civil society groups in Hungary who are addressing profound problems in education, health care, media freedom and corruption. Any attacks on this work and those groups are solely an attempt to deflect attention from government inability to address these issues." The group's stated goal is “to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens” but critics claim it's a front for Soros’ hard-left political maneuverings. Soros has been denounced both by Orbán and by US President Donald Trump for using his wealth to attack their policies. • • • DEAR READERS, George Soros is a spider with many webs. GOP strategist Brad Blakeman told Fox News' Strategy Room : “He controls numerous third-party groups, where he uses his influence. We’ve seen it internally with Black Lives Matter, the demonstrations taken place after the inaugural -- this is what he does.” After violent left-wing activists rioted at Berkeley in protest of a lecture by Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, The Daily Caller reported that the main group behind the protests -- Refuse Facism -- was backed by The Alliance for Global Justice -- which in turn is backed by The Tides Foundation, a Soros-funded group. Soros also has donated to Media Matters and has been a major financial contributor to the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank founded by John Podesta, a Clinton and Obama insider and Hillary's campaign chairman. • On Thursday, President Donald Trump criticized conservatives in his own Republican Party who helped block the healthcare bill last week, saying he would oppose House Freedom Caucus members in 2018 elections if they did not get on board. Trump tweeted : "The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don't get on the team, & fast. We must fight them, & Dems, in 2018!" Trump has accused Freedom Caucus lawmakers of snatching "defeat from the jaws of victory" with their rejection of the White House-backed healthcare bill to replace President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare reform bill. Trump went farther on Thursday, equating members of his own party with Democrats, reflectinghis sense of betrayal by the conservative lawmakers after the collapse of his first legislative initiative. The mistrust between the White House and hardline conservatives in Congress has cast a pall over the next big item on the GOP agenda, tax reform. US House Speaker Paul Ryan said in an interview broadcast on Thursday he feared the Republican Party is pushing the President to the other side of the aisle so he can make good on campaign promises to redo Obamacare. • Trump needs to come down hard on Republicans who are sacrificing the long-term success of GOP and conservative values for their short-sighted demands in the first healthcare reform bill to hit the House floor. But, while GOP order is critical to the success of the Trump agenda, President Trump and Attorney Genral Sessions should not forget Geroge Soros -- they need to pursue Soros for his financial support of often-violent Progressive protests and riots organized by paid professionals that are clearly designed to bring down the Trump presidency.
