"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.
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.
