Blinken's father, Donald Blinken, and his wife Vera funded the Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives at Soros' Central European University (CEU). In one Soros Foundations Network report from 2002, Blinken was listed on the Board of Trustees of CEU after Soros and Aryeh Neier (who served as the president of the Open Society Institute from 1993 to 2012).

Buried News: Bums, illegals, addicts, and criminals double their assaults in hospitals
How's this as a consequence of radical leftist policies that coddle society's troublemakers?
As of Sunday, the San Diego Union-Tribune ran a Page One above-the-fold story by Paul Sisson headlined "Hospitals in County Look for Ways to Cut Attacks on Workers," which is an important story indeed because it points to the consequences to innocent hospital workers of constantly coddling bums, illegals, drug addicts and criminals, all of whom were named as perpetrators in the piece.
For some strange reason, the story not there on the San Diego Union-Tribune's website and I looked and looked. I don't think it's a time delay, as there are other significant Page One stories up on the site -- one about the sleazy world of "Fat Leonard" who is linked to corruption in the Navy, and another on Comic-Con, for example.
But this story is somehow not up there. Maybe it's an innocent overlooking. Maybe it's a mistake. Maybe it's a legal issue. Maybe I am bad at 'search.' Maybe there was something wrong with the story and it was pulled. But it appears well reported in the paper edition, and the correspondent is a veteran health care reporter so I am skeptical it was that. What I am less skeptical about is that in light of its sensitive content to the city's ruling leftists, is that they just don't want this important story getting out there.
Wonder why.
Sisson starts with doozy figures as to what is going on. I'll transcribe:
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of intentional injuries against health care workers and technicians has increased from 6.7 to 12.9 per 10,000 workers from 2011 to 2020. A survey of health care workers nationwide conducted in early 2023 found that 40 percent reported that they were directly involved in workplace violence in the previous two years.
That's right about when Joe Biden opened the U.S. border, the homeless-industrial complex ballooned into a surge of homelessness, and Soros district attorneys started running blue cities into the ground by effectively refusing to enforce laws against criminals.
Sisson reports that people are pretty mad about this and have begun to form a health care task force to find some way to make it stop. It must be horrendous for the health care workers, especially if they are working at hospitals in areas with large concentrations of vagrants, based on open air drug dealing along with large numbers of federally-fattened NGOs there to "serve" these clients otherwise. You can bet the figures for them are higher.
In addition, the Border Patrol has been bringing in its caught criminals and illegal border crossers in for treatment and some of them have been reportedly violent and fought doctors, too, the report said.
Places around the Hillcrest area were named by the writer as sites of attacks. Hillcrest, recall, shut down one of the nation's oldest Starbucks stores because they couldn't keep the bums away. Hillcrest and adjacent North Park are where the vagrants are so aggressive and entitled they've been caught eating food off diners' plates in sidewalk cafes, prompting local businesses to install plastic sheetings.
But the task force solutions don't look as though they'll be up to solving the problem.
Start with this picture described by Sisson:
The meeting's minutes detail cases where patients have choked, punched and pulled their caregivers to the ground by their coast, even doing hand-to-hand combat with their officers in the middle of busy emergency rooms.
One emergency room specialist at the meeting said that her facility was handling between 34 and 64 cases of "code green," where a cop has to be called into the hospital -- per month, or one to two police call incidents a day, and have since installed a "Taser protocol" in its emergency departments. They've since had to install metal detectors.
Some, after all, have been caught coming in armed with guns and knives, another testified.
What is this task force talking about?
Increasing communication, said one hospital administrator at one of the hellish hospitals.
Better communication, he said, is especially necessary in common situations such as bringing patients picked up on "5250" holds when incidents in the community cause officers to suspect someone may be a danger to themselves or others or gravely disabled and unable to take care of themselves.
He said he hoped to have a number to call when violent types threaten hospital staff.
San Diego's reasonably able anti-Soros district attorney, Summer Stephan, says that another problem is that while she's happy to prosecute, the hospitals often don't report these attacks, often due to (leftist) medical personnel (the dancing COVID nurse types) being anti-police.
Her solution sounds pretty wretched, though: "In my mind, it's important that these incidents are investigated and prosecuted if appropriate because, you know, then you send a clear message that the hospital workforce is something we value and are going to take care of," Stephan said. "But within the justice system, there are different, very humane ways to deal with people with, for example, mental health (issues), through behavioral health court, collaborative courts, mental health diversion."
What kind of nonsense is that? They already have that coddling garbage going on with stone cold criminals and they have the situation they have.
The first emergency room person cited said that having the cops come around on rounds and recommend security measures was their other solution.
I've got a better solution for them: Prison hospitals, where people who commit crimes can get their treatment with appropriate bite masks, handcuffs and leg cuffs. Hospitals should not be treating drug addicts or bums or cartel members rolling over the border illegally and exposing their workers or their patients to this thuggery and violence. The hospitals are there for people to get treated, not for bums to gather around and camp out and city funds to flow to pay for it. If they become as dangerous as the streets of San Francisco, people won't come to get treated, and medical workers will go remote or quit and move to a red state.
These namby-pamby solutions are not going to cut it until they admit there's a problem with bum proliferation, drug proliferation and illegals proliferation and take on those policies at their root causes.
In the meantime, hospitals are becoming battlefields and someone at the Union-Tribune seems to not want this news to get out. The numbers Sisson reported look very big indeed and mandate priority attention. And patients should be warned before they come about the bum risk that isn't being resolved. Let's not count on any solutions soon, based on the tired committee recommendations and what looks like the actual suppression of the news. Just that it seems like a big story out there that's ought to be out.

BOTH DEM PAYMASTERS MARK ZUCKERBERG AND GEORGE SOROS PUSH FOR ILLEGALS VOTING AND WIDER OPEN BORDERS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED.
The younger Soros recently said he plans to use Open Society’s $25 billion war chest to fund the cause to expand abortion rights and voting rights. He also claimed to be "way more political" than his father, the Democratic Party’s largest individual donor.
While Alex Soros has given only a fraction of his dad’s campaign donations, he has been spotted hobnobbing with President Joe Biden (GAMER LAWYER), Vice President Kamala Harris (GAMER LAWYER), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) (GAMER LAWYER) , former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), and other Democratic luminaries. Alex has visited the Biden White House nearly 20 times, and had several meetings with National Security Council officials.
Soros Charity to Slash Workforce By 40 Percent
Layoffs come as George Soros prepares to hand power to his playboy son, Alex
George and Alex Soros (Twitter).
July 1, 2023
A charity run by the progressive billionaire George Soros is slashing its workforce by 40 percent as the Democratic megadonor hands the wheel to his 37-year-old playboy son.
Open Society Foundations announced it will make a "substantial reduction in headcount" in the coming months, according to Bloomberg News. The charity, which Soros has funded to the tune of $30 billion, acknowledged the layoffs were a "difficult decision," but claimed it will emerge a "nimbler" organization. Open Society offered resources to employees to cope with the coming layoffs, including a "Well-being in Uncertain Times" workshop, and the opportunity to meet with a "People and Culture Advisory Partner."
The changes come as George Soros, 92, has ceded control of Open Society to his son, Alex, who was until recently best known for hosting NBA athletes and supermodels at luxury parties in the Hamptons.
It also portends a rocky road for one of the
progressive movement’s most prominent
charities. Open Society, which awarded $325
million in grants in 2021, sponsors a number of
left-wing causes in the United States and
across the globe. It funds organizations behind
the movement to defund the police, pack the
Supreme Court, and expand climate change
regulations.
The younger Soros recently said he plans to use Open Society’s $25 billion war chest to fund the cause to expand abortion rights and voting rights. He also claimed to be "way more political" than his father, the Democratic Party’s largest individual donor.
While Alex Soros has given only a fraction of his dad’s campaign donations, he has been spotted hobnobbing with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), and other Democratic luminaries. Alex has visited the Biden White House nearly 20 times, and had several meetings with National Security Council officials.

Viktor Orbán Accuses Soros Scion of Scheming to ‘Incite’ Another Migrant Crisis
18 Jun 20231,579
3:24
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán warned that the Soros empire, the reigns of which will be handed over to 37-year-old scion Alexander, is planning to “incite” another migrant crisis in Europe.
In his weekly radio appearance, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said according to 24.hu that he believed that the latest migrant relocation scheme from the European Union was a result of pressure from George Soros’ son Alex, who is set to take over the $25 billion financial empire.
Orbán, who has long maligned the mal-influence of the 92-year-old Hungarian billionaire in his country and elsewhere, warned that his heir may be more ruthless in achieving the goals of the ‘Open Society’ foundations owned by the family.
The EU migration deal, which was reached earlier this month, was opposed by Hungary and Poland, with both countries objecting to accepting migrants who entered other countries. Under the parameters of the plan, EU member states would either have to accept a number of relocated asylum-seekers per year or pay €20,000 for each migrant refused.
According to Orbán, the plan would see some 8,500 migrants forced onto Hungary, however, the populist leader has so far maintained that he has no intention of abiding by the diktats from Brussels.
The Hungarian leader said that he believed the reason why the deal was struck, seemingly out of nowhere, was as a result of a lobbying effort from Alex Soros, whom he said “dictates an even tougher pace” than his father and that Hungary should prepare for the Soros family to ” incite the migrants, and increase the pressure on Hungary’s southern border.”
“One could say that the Soros empire has struck back, something that’s been forced down the throats of the majority of Europeans,” Mr Orbán said.
On Monday, George Soros announced that he would be handing over the reins of his empire to his son, 37-year-old Alexander “Alex” Sorors. For his part, Alex Soros has claimed to be “more political” than his globalist financier father.
In an interview this week with the Wall Street Journal, Soros said that he would continue to pursue hard-left policies on issues such as abortion, voting, and gender equality.
Following the announcement of the handover, Orbán was quick to respond, posting a gif on his Twitter account from The Godfather, showing Vito Corleone kissing his son Micheal, along which the Hungarian leader wrote: “Soros 2.0”.
In his Friday radio appearance, Orbán went on to accuse George Soros of acting as a “war speculator” and trying to stymie attempts from figures such as himself to peacefully negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.
This was the reason why the Soros family, he claimed, is attacking former U.S. President Donald Trump “with all its means,” given Trump’s persistent calls for peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv.
“The pro-war camp [is] attacking with full force. That’s what you get nowadays if you’re on the side of peace. Keep on fighting, Mr. President! The world needs you, the world needs peace,” Orban said to Mr Trump on Friday following the latest arrest of the former president.

‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ Teams with Soros-Backed American Immigration Council

Sony Pictures
18 Jun 202386
2:52
Sony’s animated blockbuster Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has released an ad in partnership with a George Soros-backed group whose goal is to import more cheap immigrant labor.
The American Immigration Council (AIC) is taking credit for the PSA — but instead of mentioning immigration, the Hollywood partnership is being marketed as a plea for “belonging,” with the goal of creating a “more welcoming nation.”
The Spider-Man tie-in consists of a 30-second video featuring characters from the hit sequel accompanied by a voice-over urging greater acceptance of others.
“It doesn’t take a superhero to bring forces together. We all have the power to reach out and help someone feel like they belong,” the narrator says.
Watch below:
Spider-Man is partnering with a group called Belonging Begins with Us, which is a project of AIC — the Soros-backed organization that is trying to flood the country with cheap labor by pushing for more immigration as well as amnesty for some illegal aliens.
Belonging Begins with Us works with the Ad Council to partner with prominent brands and entertainment titles in an attempt to push its soft message of “belonging” and “welcoming.”
“Belonging” has emerged as a key marketing buzzword for the AIC, which defines it as a “fundamental human need, and one that is linked to many of the most complex challenges of our time.” The organization has even published a study titled “The Belonging Barometer,” which calls for greater acceptance of “non-citizen immigrants” and other groups.
“The Americans who report being treated as ‘less than’ tend to be younger, first-generation or non-citizen immigrants, identify as non-Hispanic white, or identify as a gender minority,” the study concludes. “The range of demographic categories who reported being treated as ‘less than others.'”
The Hollywood push comes amid falling support for immigration, as the Biden administration’s open-border policies have resulted in an unprecedented tsunami of illegal border crossings.
As Breitbart News reported, a YouGov poll found a growing plurality of citizens alongside almost two out of three Republicans say immigration makes the nation “worse off.”
Spider-Verse 2, which is a Marvel Studios production, is poised to become one of the biggest movies of the summer. The sequel has so far grossed $225 million domestically and is in the midst of its global rollout.
The Soros network may go through a shakeup in the coming years, as the infamous left-wing billionaire has handed over the reins of his activism-charity projects to his millennial son Alex.

Sam Bankman-Fried Aimed to Outpace George Soros as Largest Democrat Donor
28 Nov 20220
2:21
Disgraced former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried tried to build a political empire to rival Democrat megadonor George Soros.
Puck News reporter Theodore Schleifer wrote that Bankman-Fried personally bought a Democrat startup, Deck, spending roughly $4 to $5 million to buy out the existing investors to the Democrat analytics firm. Bankman-Fried reportedly heard about the startup from Mind the Gap, a Democrat donor network founded by his mother, Barbara Bankman-Fried.
The purchase of Deck served as Bankman-Fried’s political scheme to be the “biggest donor in the Democratic Party,” even outshining Democrat megadonor.

Bankman-Fried and Ryan Salame, co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, served as two of the largest donors to Republicans and Democrats last cycle. Bankman-Fried fell just below Soros as the largest Democrat donor.

In all, Bankman-Fried donated roughly $40 million to Democrat politicians and PACs, while Salame gave about $23 million to Republicans and PACs supporting the GOP.
Puck News wrote that the former FTX CEO sought advisers and conducted data experiments to help Democrats in the 2024 election cycle:
I have previously reported that S.B.F.’s team was actively looking for future advisors to join them in drafting “plays” for the 2024 cycle, and that one of those ideas was to fund some more progressive organizations, for instance. Some of those plans were already underway. I have learned in recent days that S.B.F. was already quietly funding some experiments across the Democratic ecosystem, such as randomized-controlled trials that might have yielded data that could help Democrats in 2024, according to two people familiar with the work, by assessing the impact of things like community newsletters, Facebook ads, and so-called “relational organizing.”
In all, the report suggested that Bankman-Fried might have spent roughly $100 million, but according to Schleifer, “That could be an undercount.”

Recipe for Disaster: A Democrat President and a Democrat Senate

Rule of law makes a country, so when rule of law goes...
By Jay Davidson
Decades ago, a brilliant but evil person funded district attorney races to emplace left-leaning district attorneys across America. We now see the consequences of those efforts. These D.A.s were chosen because of their belief that criminals should not be prosecuted, but right-leaning citizens should. They are motivated not by law, but by political concerns — power, central control.
George Soros understood that when the rule of law breaks down, the country can spiral into anarchy. The best example to date is the D.A. in New York charging a former Marine for defending other passengers in the N.Y. subway from a deranged homeless person.
Watch an old movie called A Clockwork Orange that foretold this situation.
But it gets worse. The rule of law, defined solely by the Constitution, breaks down when federal agencies in the DOJ refuse to follow the law. The FBI's and CIA's direct involvement in presidential elections, to sway votes, is a greater example of the anarchy we fear.
Examples deepen when we see a former president harassed to no end or the January 6 conspirators, or patriots, depending on your view, are not given a speedy trial, but languish in American prisons for years. I don't know if Trump or the J6 prisoners are guilty, but it is obvious they are not getting any respect for their inalienable rights as defined by the Constitution. That is an abrogation of the rule of law.
We have to ask two questions. What is the end goal of those who wish to damage and are damaging our beloved country by destroying the rule of law? What can we do about it?
First, realize that there are forces dedicated to the destruction of our nation. There always have been such elements throughout our history.
Second, don't succumb to fear or despair. That is what they want, because fear and despair make it easier to defeat us.
Third, educate yourself, which you are doing if you read these articles.
Fourth, the united willpower of free citizens is an unstoppable force. Stop the petty bickering and hate-mongering. Unite in a common and profound principle — namely, the sanctity of the individual, or, in other words, your inalienable right to existence and freedom.

Recipe for Disaster: A Democrat President and a Democrat Senate
We have a Democrat president who will nominate anybody who will further his agenda and a Democrat-controlled Senate that places ideology and vote-buying ahead of country and will approve any cabinet member or judge that a Democrat president nominates.
We all know what a doddering old fool the current occupant of the Oval Office is, so there's no need to document his latest gaffes. Let's examine instead four of his nominees, starting with Secretary of State Tony Blinken and his connection with George Soros.
Blinken's father, Donald Blinken, and his wife Vera funded the Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives at Soros' Central European University (CEU). In one Soros Foundations Network report from 2002, Blinken was listed on the Board of Trustees of CEU after Soros and Aryeh Neier (who served as the president of the Open Society Institute from 1993 to 2012).
Like father, like son. Blinken, in May 2021, wrote, "Former President of Albania Sali Berisha's corrupt acts undermined democracy in Albania. I am publicly designating Berisha and his immediate family members as ineligible for entry into the United States."
Why? Berisha had denounced Blinken's action as the work of George Soros. When confronted by Congressman Lee Zeldin (NY-1), Blinken said, "I don't have anything to share." He provided only platitudes but no evidence.
Let's examine Blinken's "accomplishments" without Soros.
Blinken said in remarks in April 2021, "As Secretary of State, my job is to make sure our foreign policy delivers for the American people -- by taking on the biggest challenges they face and seizing the biggest opportunities that can improve their lives. No challenge more clearly captures the two sides of this coin than climate."
Blinken then doubled down, trying in September to justify his concern for climate change by blaming it for worsening conflicts around world. "Look at almost every place where you see threats to international peace and security today -- and you'll find that climate change is making things less peaceful, less secure, and rendering our response even more challenging."
About Blinken's confrontation with the Chinese delegation in Alaska, former CIA analyst and National Security Council chief of staff Fred Fleitz said, "It was one of the most incompetent displays I've ever seen by an American diplomat. I think they were just virtue signaling before the lapdog American media. It was a serious mistake and it set back our policies and it made them look inept because they weren't ready for the counterattack by Chinese officials."
In July 2021, Blinken waived sanctions on Iran's oil trade to allow Japan and Korea to infuse billions of dollars into Iran's failing economy. Then in February 2022, Blinken signed several sanction waivers related to Iran's civilian nuclear activities in a move, he said, was designed to "entice Iran to return to compliance with the 2015 deal that it has been violating since former president Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and re-imposed US sanctions."
Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security who keeps insisting the southern border is secure, intervened to help obtain a sentence commutation for the son of a major Democrat Party donor. The son was a convicted drug dealer.
Then U.S. attorney Mayorkas approached the White House in 2000 on behalf of Carlos Vignali, a convicted drug trafficker whom prosecutors said was a leading figure in a drug ring with nearly three dozen members that stretched from California to Minnesota.
Vignali's father was a wealthy real-estate developer and a substantial donor to California Democrats. He persuaded more than nine important Democrat politicians to approach Bill Clinton on his son's behalf. He increased his political donations as his son's trial began, then donated ever-increasing amounts to the Democratic National Committee during their convention in Los Angeles. The Vignali family also contributed to Xavier Becerra's political campaigns prior to his advocacy for Carlos. Becerra is currently the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Andrew Dunne, an assistant U.S. attorney in Minneapolis who prosecuted Vignali's case, said, "There was a lot of influence, oh yes."
Clinton, on his last day in office, freed Vignali after he had served less than six years of a more than fourteen-year sentence.
Further, an Obama-era inspector general report asserted that Mayorkas had assisted foreign investors in the EB-5 visa program who were connected to top Democrats. "Mayorkas 'pressured staff' to expedite the review of a Las Vegas hotel and casino investment at the request of then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid," and made "...an 'unprecedented' intervention to help GTA, a company chaired by former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe." A third intervention for former Democratic Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell resulted in the overturning of another EB-5 refusal.
If not for Mayorkas' intervention, all the cases would have been decided differently.
As if Ketanji Brown Jackson, who can't (or wouldn't) define what a woman is, wasn't bad enough, we now have Nancy Gbana Abudu, Biden's nominee for the 11th Circuit Court.
Biden said Abudu's nomination was part of his "...promise to ensure that the nation's courts reflect the diversity that is one of our greatest assets as a country -- both in terms of personal and professional backgrounds." Her nomination came as the administration and congressional Democrats emphasized voting rights and alleged voter suppression in Republican-led states such as Georgia, where Abudu serves.
She is late of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). While at the ACLU, she boasted, "95 percent of my work is in voting rights." She has compared the ban on felons voting to slavery and proof of citizenship to voter suppression. "When you add laws that prohibit people with a criminal conviction from voting, it's practically the same system as during slavery -- Black people who have lost their freedom and cannot vote." I guess she thinks non-Blacks never lose their right to vote.
Last August Abudu urged the Senate to pass HR 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. She said, "As HR 4 moves to the Senate, some senators have already committed to doing everything in their power to oppose the bill -- up to and including leveraging a legislative tool popular with pro-Jim Crow senators of the past -- to prevent its passage and to further erode the fundamental right to vote."
I don't think Abudu ever read HR 4. If she had, she would know HR 4 restores preclearance, which requires states to prove “that the proposed [voting] law would have neither the purpose nor the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group.” This concept was struck down by SCOTUS in 2013.
Blinken and Mayorkas the men will pass, but the damage they've done will be with us for a long time. As will Abudu and her legacy.
