They Are Deciding Our Future Again

      "There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes. As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented."  - Edward Bernays

      George Soros, political strategists, and other high roller Democrat operatives attended a highly secretive conference recently in San Francisco. The whole thing was a veritable “who’s who” of billionaire Democrats and high-ranking strategists, many of whom endorse Hillary Clinton. The location of the conference had been kept a closely guarded secret by the members and guests of Democracy Alliance (DA), a collection of ultra-wealthy liberal donors. Flashy sports cars ferry climate crusaders to a luxury hotel, a private security company shields prying eyes from speeches on political accountability. “If there was an attack on this building, the Democratic donor base would be gone,” joked investor Joe Sanberg.

       The Democratic Alliance steers tens of millions of dollars each year to leading political and policy groups strategically vetted and endorsed by its staff of progressive operatives. Attendees attended workshops such as “Occupy the Voting Booth” and “The 1 Percent Rule.” At this meeting, Progressives were told that the  A report by the Media Consortium detailed how progressives had created an "echo chamber" of outlets "in which a message pushes the larger public or the mainstream media to acknowledge, respond, and give airtime to progressive ideas because it is repeated many times. "A lie told often enough becomes the truth" - Vladimir Lenin. "It's just one more way George Soros influences the media.

main electoral problem, was an insufficiently populist message. Once the message has been decided at this meeting then the content will be fed to Soros propaganda machine. These 180 media sites in the United States that Soros helps support can be linked, cited or reposted, falsely adding to the sense that there is strong interest in any particular "progressive idea."

       In fact, Soros funds nearly every major left-wing media source in the United States. Forty-five of those are financed through his support of the Media Consortium. That organization 'is a network of the country's leading, progressive, independent media outlets.' The list is predictable - everything from Alternet to the Young Turks. The list goes on and on. Project Syndicate calls itself "the world's pre-eminent source of original op-ed commentaries." It has wide reach. "As of May 2011, Project Syndicate membership included 462 leading newspapers in 150 countries." Its monthly circulation is 72,815,528. Naturally, "support comes from the Open Society Institute," the primary Soros foundation. Since launching his Open Society Foundations in 1984, Soros has donated more than $8 billion to universities around the world. His reach and influence far surpasses that of the Koch brothers, who have been vilified by the left and the media for their grants to universities. Soros gave more than 50 times as much as his US rivals the Koch brothers.

     The powerful Democracy Alliance recently underwent a purging of its Democrat partners recently. It eliminated  mainstream groups and added organizations with close ties to their that operating outside the Democrat Party to in favor of pressuring the party to move in a more Progressive direction, the Huffington Post’s Ryan Grim recently reported. Media Matters and the Center for American Progress were retained, while groups related to minority issues were dropped. Apparently they realize minorities are going to support the left no matter what they do or don't do for them – evidence Republicans are far behind when it comes to minority voters.

      Most conference-goers were wary of speaking with the press. One attendee who asked not to be identified said he had been instructed "to inform Alliance staff of journalists asking questions" about the week’s proceedings. It is "ironic" that the Democratic party, the party that demands more political transparency has also assured “partners”—as its donors are known—that they will remain anonymous if they choose.
