MEMO TO TRUMP ON SOROS-LINKED
STATE DEPARTMENT, Watchdog: 'Cash flows through to
leftwing groups' in Macedonia, by Bob Unruh, 3/2/17, WND
A prominent watchdog on U.S.
government has issued a report outlining how the feds have colluded with
left-wing, billionaire activist George Soros to use taxpayer money to
“destabilize” the democratic government of the Balkan nation of
Macedonia, north of Greece.
“The cash flows through the State
Department and the famously corrupt U.S. Agency of International Development
(USAID), which is charged with providing global economic, development and
humanitarian assistance,” the report
from Judicial Watch says.
USAID has allocated about $5 million
to left-wing Soros groups in Macedonia since 2012, according to documents cited
in the report. At least $9.5 million has been
earmarked by the agency to intervene in the Balkan nation’s governmental
affairs, Judicial Watch says.
The watchdog says that because State
Department figures have been more difficult to obtain, it has filed a
Freedom of Information Act request for the numbers. “Judicial Watch also fired off a
public records request to USAID because the preliminary figures, obtained
through various sources in both the U.S. and Macedonia, appear to be
incomplete.”
The report presents evidence that
the U.S. government “has quietly spent millions of taxpayer dollars to
destabilize the democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia by
colluding with leftwing billionaire philanthropist George Soros.”
The group said records it
obtained reveal President Obama’s U.S. ambassador to Macedonia, Jess
L. Baily, “has worked behind the scenes with Soros’ Open Society Foundation to
funnel large sums of American dollars for the cause.”
Judicial Watch charges it is
“an interference of the U.S. ambassador in domestic political affairs in
violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.”
“Here’s how the clandestine
operation functions, according to high-level sources in Macedonia and the U.S.
that have provided Judicial Watch with records as part of an ongoing
investigation. The Open Society Foundation has established and funded dozens of
leftwing, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Macedonia to overthrow the
conservative government.
One Macedonian government official
interviewed by Judicial Watch in Washington, D.C., recently, calls it the
‘Soros infantry.’ The groups organize youth movements, create influential media
outlets and organize violent protests to undermine the institutions and
policies implemented by the government.
One of the Soros’ groups funded the
translation and publication of Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’ into
Macedonian. The book is a tactical manual of subversion, provides direct advice
for radical street protests and proclaims Lucifer to be the first radical.
Thanks to Obama’s ambassador, who has not been replaced by President Trump,
Uncle Sam keeps the money flowing so the groups can continue operating and
recruiting, sources in Macedonia and the U.S. confirm,” the report explains.
The result? “There have been a
number of violent protests in recent months that have been coordinated by
Soros’ Open Society Foundation through its U.S.-funded NGOs, sources tell
Judicial Watch. Some U.S. members of Congress have expressed interest in the
issue and have demanded answers from Ambassador Baily, USAID and the State
Department,” the report said.
“In typical fashion, the State
Department has stonewalled the inquiries and USAID hasn’t been much more
forthcoming. Last month Utah Sen. Mike Lee sent Ambassador Baily a letter
asking questions involving the U.S. Mission to Macedonia’s involvement in the
political process and its connections to the Open Society Foundation.”
Judicial Watch says since Baily
likely is on his way out, Americans probably won’t get the answers they need. “The fact remains however, that
millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have already been spent on this illicit
operation and the government agencies need to be held accountable,” Judicial
Watch’s report says.
The nation has a population of
about 2 million, with one of the more conservative governments
in Europe. It has a low flat tax, close ties with Israel and pro-life
policies.
Judicial Watch also noted the
country “recently built a border fence to crack down on an illegal immigration
crisis that overwhelmed law enforcement agencies.”
“Between 10,000 and 12,000 illegal
aliens were crossing the Greek-Macedonian border daily at the peak of the
European migration crisis, a Macedonian official told Judicial Watch, and the
impact was devastating.”
That “likely” triggered a reaction
by Soros, a “renowned open borders advocate who pushes international
governance, diminished U.S. global power and an increase in Muslim
immigration,” Judicial Watch reports.
He’s a well-known player in the
practice of interfering with other nations’ governments. “Just this month
Hungary’s prime minister lashed out against Soros for funding groups to
secretly influence the country’s politics,” Judicial Watch explained, quoting Viktor
Orban, who said, “Large-bodied predators are swimming here in the waters. This
is the trans-border empire of George Soros, with tons of money and
international heavy artillery.”
