AMERICAN SUPPORT FOR ISLAMIC
TAKEOVER CONTINUES, EVEN UNDER TRUMP, USAID
partners with Soros' groups in fight over control of Macedonia, 5/6/17, WND
Millions of Americans voted for
Donald Trump because they wanted to stop the mass migration of Muslims into the
United States, though the refugee
resettlement program spreading Islam in the U.S. continues unabated.
Astonishingly, under President
Trump, the U.S. government is also partnering with George Soros’ Open Society
Foundation to
facilitate an Islamic takeover in the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia.
Macedonia is on the brink of an
ethnic conflict between the indigenous Slavic Macedonian population and a
growing Albanian minority.
Ethnic Albanians now make up a
quarter of the population and comprise the majority of Muslims in the country.
The conflict exploded into international headlines when conservative protesters
recently broke into the parliament and attacked lawmakers backing an alliance
between the leftist Social Democrats and an ethnic Albanian party.
In the most recent elections, the
conservative VMRO-DPMNE party won a plurality of seats, but the Social
Democrats and ethnic Albanian parties formed a coalition that would allow
them to marginalize the conservatives and install Macedonia’s first ethnic
Albanian speaker, Talat Xhaferi.
The U.S. State Department, as well
as the European Union, is urging the conservatives to step aside. The U.S.
State Department issued
a statement that “strongly
condemn[ed] the violent attacks on members of the Macedonian parliament which
followed the election of Talat Xhaferi as Speaker of Parliament.”
The State Department also promised
to “work with the new speaker to support democracy and to help Macedonia move
forward on its European path.”
The European Union has also hosted
the new speaker, Xhaferi, as an
official expression of support. But conservatives and nationalists in Macedonia
see the stakes as nothing less than existential.
Xhaferi isn’t just an ethnic
Albanian, but a defector from the Macedonian army who joined the ethnic
Albanian National Liberation Army during a rebellion in 2001. He received an
amnesty as part of a peace settlement that ended the conflict, but
Macedonians, especially veterans, are furious that a man who fought
against Macedonia is now being installed as one of its leaders. Xhaferi’s appointment has been called “treachery” and
a “disgrace to the army” by opponents.
Indeed, the riot was sparked
by Xhaferi’s decision to make his first speech after being elected in the
Albanian language, rather than Macedonian.
Establishing Albanian as an official
language in the country is one of the priorities of the new leftist Albanian
coalition. Protesters also argue Xhaferi’s appointment was illegal because it
reportedly did
not follow standard parliamentary procedures.
The conflict in Macedonia also has
deeper roots, both because Macedonia is a battleground in the geopolitical
competition between Russia and the United States and because of the continuing
efforts by Soros, an international financier and philanthropist, to undermine
conservative and nationalist European governments.
The Russian government is backing
the conservative and nationalist Macedonian party VMRO-DPMNE and its leader
Nikola Gruevski. It has accused
the EU and NATO of imposing an “Albanian platform” on the country as part of an
effort to undermine Slavic countries and create a “Greater Albania.”
Meanwhile, many Macedonians believe
the efforts to undermine their country can be traced to Soros’ Open Society
Foundation, which has heavily funded leftist groups in the Balkan nation. “Stop Operation Soros” tracks Soros’ efforts in the country, including
tracking the millions of dollars being contributed to leftist groups in the
country.
“We’ve witnessed the takeover of the
entire civil sector and its abuse and instrumentalization to meet the goals of
one political party,” alleged Nikola Srbov, co-founder of the group.
Gruevski has also accused
Soros’ network of meddling in Macedonian politics. More importantly, some of this money is coming from
American taxpayers.
Judicial Watch recently
filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against
the State Department to obtain the full records of the department’s
communication with the Open Society Foundation, as well as the money and
support provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
According to USAID’s website, $4.8 million was provided to the Open Society
Foundation in Macedonia between 2012 and 2016.
Republican Christopher Smith also
has announced an investigation of the American embassy in Macedonia following
allegations the U.S. government was working to defeat the conservatives in the
Macedonian election, including by collaborating with the Soros network.
The establishment media,
notably Politico, has defended Soros and the American government’s efforts in
Macedonia by accusing
Soros opponents of being part of a “Russia-aligned attack.”
Even after President Trump’s
inauguration, Macedonia’s Open Society Foundation remains a partner of USAID
and continued to work together on various programs, including “Youth
Engagement Support Grants” to
encourage “participating in public life.”
According to the application,
“priority” would be given to grant applications that aim to “ensure
substantial engagement of women, girls, youth, ethnic or religious minorities,
the LGBT community, or other vulnerable/ marginalized groups.”
The American
Spectator reports the Soros network in
Macedonia, backed by American funds, also used Western tactics and trained
protesters to destabilize the conservative Macedonian government. Having
accomplished that mission, the federal government, even with Trump as
president, is now pressuring the small nation to hand over control to an
alliance between leftists and Albanians.
Leo Hohmann, author of “Stealth
Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration and Resettlement Jihad,” sees parallels between the federal government’s
conduct at home and abroad.
“Here in America, taxpayers fund
so-called NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) who profit from importing
Muslim immigrants deliberately brought in to change America’s culture and vote
for leftists,” Hohmann said.
“Now, in Europe, we see the United
States of America, far from opposing the Islamic takeover of the continent, is
facilitating it. We’re essentially helping Muslim Albania take over a small
nation. And American taxpayers are bankrolling George Soros in order to carry
it out.”
Hohmann noted the irony of Trump’s
federal government funding the same kind of leftist groups that are trying
to remove him from office at home.
“President Trump is actually funding
his enemies, as well as the enemies of the West,” Hohmann said. “The Soros
network is helping organize the protests against him in the United States the
same way they are trying to drive out the conservatives in Macedonia.
“Leave aside the question of why our
own government is going out of its way to destroy this small Christian nation.
Why are Republicans in the federal government giving millions of dollars to the
same groups trying to destroy them? And why are they cutting these checks at
the same time they are claiming they can’t defend our own border because they
don’t have the money?”
Hohmann noted the U.S. backed
the Muslims in Bosnia during the Clinton presidency.
“It seems that, regardless of who is in the White House, we get the same
anti-Christian foreign policy coming out of the U.S. State Department. If you
were trying to destroy the West deliberately, what would you be doing
differently?”
Meanwhile, protests continue in
Macedonia, and there are calls for another election. One nationalist protester vowed they would continue to take to the streets.
