Soros by Joshua Bright for The New York Times

An inflammatory headline but with sufficient links to join the dots.

This investigation starts in New York where Soros and a PR firm named Purpose Inc., a pro-war firm that argues for Western intervention against Assad. The co-founder and CEO of Purpose is Jeremy Heimans, who also helped found Avaaz, a “pro-democracy” group connected to Soros’ Open Society Foundation. Avaaz is run by Tom Perriello.

Excerpt from the Art of Annihilation:

Tom Perriello’s ideologies espouse the Machiavellian principle in which “the end justifies the means.” In essence, unethical, morally reprehensible, criminal and contemptuous behaviour is justified in order to, in Perriello’s words, “expand the use of force to advance key values.” Of course, the values Perriello speaks of are American “values.” Perriello’s belief that such noble key “values” are at the foundation of today’s America demonstrates even further delusion.

Purpose's website describes the goal:
“Purpose builds and accelerates movements to tackle the world’s biggest problems.”

Toward that end, Purpose created “The Syria Campaign”. The Syria Campaign was founded by Purpose Inc., an international PR Firm, aided by the foundation of Ayman Asfari, a billionaire who made his money in the oil and gas services industry.

Anna Nolan, an Irish TV celebrity and former nun, manages the Syria Campaign. It promotes a social media campaign called ‘Planet Syria’ pushing for foreign intervention and war. It also promotes the White Helmets.

White Helmets was founded in May 2013 by James Le Mesurier, a former British army officer . White Helmets, we are told, is a wonderful, unbiased humanitarian organisation which cares for those injured in the Syrian conflict.

The organisation is funded by governments including the USA, the UK, Germany, Netherlands and France,, according to Abdulrahman Al Mawwas, the chief liaison officer.

It has become increasingly obvious that the White Helmets is an extremely partisan organisation with an agenda (Al-Qaida) and is providing the Mainstream Media with stories to fit with the Purpose Inc. objectives.

However, sometimes things slip:

**A brief admission **

Independent journalist Rick Sterling called the White Helmets “highly effective manipulators”:
“White Helmets primary function is propaganda. White Helmets demonizes the Assad government and encourages direct foreign intervention.”

The group focuses its efforts only on areas held by al-Qaida and Jabhat al-Nusra, Syria’s al-Qaida affiliate also known as the Nusra Front. They ignore atrocities carried out by these groups, which are propped up by Western aid and weapons, while creating media-friendly images of victims of Assad’s bombing of rebel-held areas.

Aleppo Before & After

So, how does Soros still fit in? There is a history to this!

According to Tyler Durden, writing in Zero Hedge:
“Soros also uses his Open Society Foundations to funnel money to the progressive media outlet, Media Matters.”
Media Matters is a media supplier to the likes of Al Jazeera.
The war that ripped through the Ukrainian region of Donbass resulted in the deaths of over 10,000 people and the displacement of over 1.4 million people. As collateral damage, a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet was shot down, killing all 298 on board.
In a May 2014 interview with CNN, Soros stated he was responsible for establishing a foundation in the Ukraine that ultimately led to the overthrow of the country’s elected leader and the installation of a junta handpicked by the US State Department, at the time headed by none other than Hillary Clinton.
Soros was there to profit from the chaos he helped create. His prize in Ukraine was the state-owned energy monopoly Naftogaz.
In the 1990s, Soros began a string of large bets against national currencies. The first was in 1992, when he sold short the pound sterling and made a $1 billion profit in a single day.
His next big currency speculation came in 1997. This time Soros singled out the Thai baht and, with heavy short-selling volume, destroyed the baht’s artificial peg to the US dollar, which started the Asian financial crisis.

“Humanitarian” Efforts

Today, Soros’s net worth stands at $23 billion. Since taking a back seat in his company, Soros Fund Management, Soros has been focusing on his philanthropic efforts, which he carries out through the Open Society Foundations he founded in 1993.
I think we now understand the meaning behind philanthropy in the sordid world of Soros.

My dear friends at @steemnews, I want to acknowledge an enormous service you have done me. When I looked at the stats on this news item after a few hours I was very disheartened. It sometimes may not appear so but there is a lot of work that goes into such a piece. It stood at about $0.19 - that is not what I write for but it is a metric which reflects how ones work is valued by the community.
To see over 240 votes and over $16.00 in value brings a sense of being valued. The outside world would tell me I am nuts - it equates to well less than $1/hr. I would tell them that they are missing the point!
I am so grateful and I hope that the rewards to your efforts are equally gratifying.
The opportunity to attract more steemian accounts is of no small consideration as well.
If there are metrics around this, we might be able to attract the people to whom I look for some of my cross-checks and assurances of validity!
Upwards!

Thank you @ebryans! This is encouraging.
Upwards indeed!!

What is this ? Something new ?

Hello @mammasitta,

Yes, it's newish. You can read more in some of our early announcements. Here's one that might be helpful.
https://steemit.com/steemnews/@steemnews.online/steemnews-online-update-challenges-and-progress

Thanks so much . I had to be off the grid for a while and just start catching up again . I will check the link tomorrow. ITs 3 am and off to bed 😻

Thank you @steemnews.online - I do appreciate it and hope that your welcome support gives my poor post a boost from its $0.06 - at least Google values me!

Not that I approve of the violation of natural rights, but according to current criminal governments abuse of the rule of law, couldn't Soros be detained without charge, without trial, and tortured for providing material support to terrorists? So could most of our US government, but we're only talking about Soros here.

I think, under international law, which I don't subscribe to either, he could be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

He could, in the US, be tried for treason, attempting to overthrow the US government, material support to terrorists, interfering with US elections, and many many more high crimes and misdemeanors. I think that anyone in the US government who has the authority and doesn't arrest him, is guilty of ,at least, obstruction of justice, maybe even complicity in his other crimes.

Had I proposed such allegations I might well have got past page 2 of a google search which is where my Syrian posts regularly have got to! Those exact thoughts have crossed my mind. The Clintons used US assets to bomb a factory which threatened one of their direct investments and there are too many corpses around for comfort. Kissinger abused every law known to mankind. As much as I feel a bit sorry for Obama with the obstructions he faced, there are too many cases of his allowing things to run: ISIS being a major factor and the dreadful pandering to Israel which is a disgrace.
The USA is more dangerous than North Korea.
Awful to be able to say that but it a nation out of control in terms of governance.
Greed grips the entirety of the administration.

well deserved

can they try Bush too? :D and that scum cheney?

If I had it my way, yes. Start with Kissinger and move forwards. Christopher Hitchens is sorely missed. He is a hero of mine - he decimated the lot of them - strangely except Bush.
Thank you for your comments - they are very valued
Namaste!

Old manipulative Fart ! He probably funded some organizations at the women's marches to get his little fun watching women protesting. Get him and many others

I already have the info that it was him and it was him who organised the civil disorder after the election. He is a scumbag! Why have the people of the USA become so ovine and unprepared to think for themselves?
Shall follow you now because you kindly replied AND you have very nice eyes

OMG ! I knew It ! Such a disgusting circus ! I always wonder why the most evil people survive longer than others 👻 Who will follow after they all died out ? I don't know enough . They have sons and daughters who will follow in their footsteps ?

By the way, you do know that the stories of witches being burned by the hundreds is a myth, don't you?
There were a few but there were very few!
A combination of Joan of Arc and scandinavian funeral rites were probably the source of the tales. Still, as a supporter of females generally, I enjoyed the post!

I just followed you as well :) I love anarchists haha and compliments . Thank you very much !

I am more a truth and integrity warrior - I should not be but I am - cannot stop crusading for some reason. I am also starving and late for dinner with my Algerian compadre ... Hasta LaVista

Nice ! Warrior is a perfect word ! Enjoy dinner and super nice meeting you . By the way , Kissinger should be first !

Back! Yes, he should be first and the deck of cards will neatly crumble in behind - I know many do not like the idea of Trump but he does represent hope whereas HC was always going to be a case of ditto, ditto, ditto.

Won't lie, first thought on seeing this was "haha, here we go on some wild conspiracy...."
But I was wrong. Your actual jounalism and sourcing, combined with some serious analytical thinking makes this an excellent piece. Not sure I buy in 100%, but the logic is there, and you hooked me to have more of a read about soros later....

Either way, excellent piece. Following for more insights. And great job, can't understate that.

Hi there @ilovebatcatstew, thank you very much for your kind words! I hear what you are saying, which I sort of said in my opening line - there is however a very strong and definable line through the joining of the dots I referred to.
Personally, I loathe conspiracy theories. To me they are glorified gossip.
As a matter of acceptance, this was on Page 1 of a Google search for 'soros war crimes' - so I would not publish unless it were true or I have a death wish!
Following you right back!
Namaste!

Thank you for this excellent post.

Re-Steemed

Thank you! That is more than kind - I just had a look - I am still on page 2 of a 'Soros war crimes' Google search - 2 weeks later - so it is still chugging along out there from a little blogger from steemit! I really appreciate your resteeming this post - the rent-a-mob stuff is one thing but hundreds of thousands are dead and displaced as a result of this man's inhumanity. I am not an advocate of the death penalty and I would not be here. I would put him in a cage, naked, in the Middle East and have him derided for perpetuity with blog cams all around the world so that people can watch this misery of a human slowly whither into his nothingness.

Yes, it's a deep rabbit hole, but it isn't a new one. If you haven't read this you should, or look for interviews of the author:
https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins/dp/0452287081

It explains well the who, why, and how of the bulk of the war crimes.. Problem is most of the people involved didn't know that after South Africa was destroyed they would then move North, and eventual into North America.

They are parasites and are already doing their best to depopulate the planet, all the while teaching our children the planet is over populated.

If you've ever learned anything about livestock management it's easy to see that is what we are to them...

Blessings my friend, Steem On!

Yes, Soros should be tried and that is why I am linking to this post in a new article of mine.
