THE BILLIONAIRES DESTROYING AMERICA
We are pulling back the curtain on the billionaires bankrolling our nation’s division and chaos.
Why do the biggest beneficiaries of capitalism fund Marxists? Why do the wealthy, who have gotten rich because of the rule of law and orderly markets, support anarchists and activists who would tear it all down?
The answer is simple. They seek to buy off the forces that would question the morality of their wealth. It is a cowardly and shortsighted strategy. To save our country, the rest of us must make sure that they fail!
Senior Fellow Carl F. Horowitz researches and writes about the so-called Open Society Foundations, with assets of $25 billion, funded by George Soros and now managed by his son, Alex Soros.
Senior Fellow Dr. Steven J. Allen follows the Gates Foundation, formerly the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, funded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Combined with a related entity, the Gates Foundation Trust, its assets total $163 billion.
Our staff also tracks LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, who has dumped $200 million in politics and activism since 2012. Hoffman’s funding of “law fare,” political dirty tricks, and false-flag operations, demonstrates his recklessness and disdain for democratic norms.
