Soros-Funded Group Gave $50K to Radical Group Antifa
Who Provoked Berkeley Riot, by Eren Moreno, 2/5/17
The
Alliance for Global Justice is funded by a Soros-backed charity called the
Tides Foundation, who gave $50,000 to help fund a radical-left group called
“Antifa,” who used extreme violence to shut down the event at UC Berkeley
featuring Milo Yiannopoulos.
From PJ Media - The Alliance for Global Justice, an organization funded
by the Tides Foundation — a George Soros -backed charity – gave $50,000 to help
fund a radical-left group that used violence to shut down an event at the
University of California-Berkeley featuring Milo Yiannopoulos.
“Refuse
Fascism” bragged on its website about how they used “righteous” violence
against “fascist” Yiannopoulos and how they set a shining example for others to
follow.
The
full name of the group is “In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a
Fascist America” — a mouthful, to be sure.
The
Daily Caller ferreted out the major backers
of this bunch of wackos: The left-wing group that helped organize the violent
shut down of the Milo Yiannopoulos event at the University of California,
Berkeley on Wednesday is backed by a progressive charity that is in turn funded
by George Soros, the city of Tucson, a major labor union and several large
companies.
The
Alliance for Global Justice, based in Tucson, is listed as an organizer and
fiscal sponsor for Refuse Fascism, a communist group that encouraged
left-wingers to shut down the Yiannopoulos event.
The
call to arms succeeded. Yiannopoulos’ talk was cancelled after demonstrators
lit fires, vandalized businesses, and assaulted Donald Trump and Yiannopoulos
supporters.
Refuse
Fascism, which includes Princeton professor Cornel West as one of its founding
“initiators,” defended the response, issuing a statement on its website
that called the shut down “righteous.” And on its Facebook page, the group
asserted that the vandalism and arson were not “violence.” Instead, the group
argued that Yiannopoulos and Trump perpetrate violence through the policies
they support.
“Dismantling
police fences is not violent. And to compare preventing someone like that from
speaking to the real-world violence that they perpetuate everyday is
ludicrous,” reads one post on the group’s Facebook page.
