Billionaire George Soros spent $33MILLION bankrolling Ferguson demonstrators to create 'echo chamber' and drive national protests
national debate over Ferguson
Liberal billionaire George Soros donated $33million to social justice organizations which helped turn events in Ferguson from a local protest into a national flashpoint.
The handouts, revealed in tax filings from Soros's private foundation, were given to dozens of different groups which weighed in on the crisis.
Organizers from professional groups in Washington, D.C., and New York were bussed into the Missouri town to co-ordinate messaging and lobby to news media to cover events using the billionaire's funding.
The flood of donations were uncovered in an analysis of the latest tax return by Soros's Open Society Foundations by the Washington Times.*
The cash was reportedly funneled into keeping up numbers of protesters in the community over a period of months by bringing in outside activists.
Meanwhile papers from think tanks were disseminated to bring in extra coverage of the civil unrest, also linked to the police killings of Eric Garner in Staten Island and Tamir Rice, 12, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Outlets which covered the research, and the movements themselves, included one, Colorlines, which Soros himself has funded.*
The slew of organizations reportedly created their own online 'echo chamber', by using their extensive social media presences to 'like', repost and comment on articles putting across their point of view.
The director of Soros's fund said that they have no direct control over the groups they give to, and said they are all trying to improve accountability.
He told the Washington Times: 'Helping groups combine policy, research [and] data collection with community organizing feels very much the way our society becomes more accountable.
'The incidents, whether in Staten Island, Cleveland or Ferguson, were spontaneous protests - we don’t have the ability to control or dictate what others say or choose to say.'
The Soros cash was also put to work driving buzzwords and social media campaigns to propel Ferguson into the national consciousness.
One recipient of his funding is the Organization for Black Struggle, which in turned established a group called the Hands Up Coalition, that has helped make ubiquitous the 'hands up, don't shoot' slogan.
The words are reference to how contentious witness accounts describing how Michael Brown was raising his hands in surrender when Ferguson officer Darren Wilson shot him dead this August.
Soros also gave money to the Drug Policy Alliance, which worked on the perpetuation of the 'black lives matter' buzz phrase, which has been incorporated into speeches by political figures including Hillary Clinton.*
The billionaire's fortune was made from speculating on financial markets, most notably making more than $1billion in the 1990s helping cripple the British financial system by speculation on the pound sterling.
He is currently ranked at number 17 on the Forbes 400 richlist, with an estimated worth of $24billion.*

Soros has big connections behind the scene with family's & people most people never heard of......just like Hillary Clinton will never spend a day in jail, the same with Soros, & people like Soros, too connected.
Thanks TCG and sadly you are probably right.
My take is our government should protect us from the Soros money because he is causing great damage to our country.
Jeff Sessions is from Alabama and I have been loyal to him....not any more...he's weak and should not be in his current
position. We need protectors and Trump should bring in those willing to protect our country.
How in hell is Hillary Clinton not under investigation? Really...she and her gang are so sleazy it's sad for our country.
Jeff Sessions is losing his mind, he still thinks its 1985. Trump should clean house & put in men/women that will follow his path on how America should be run & protected.
A lot of the mainstream media are owned by shady mofos & that's why you never hear Soros name mentioned on their networks, or Hillary needing to pay for what she did.......its a huge cabal that wants to see division & destruction in America......don't believe their BS about social justice & equal rights for everyone, those are covers for what they're doing.......in California, if it wasn't for the Latino vote, dems would ship every Mexican back, don't believe their BS excuses.
The dems of today are not the dems of the 60's & 70's.
Soros is trying to bring chaos in America & the rest of the world along with his elitist friends, many are not known to the public.
I wonder how deep the liberal Jeff Bezos gets with buying up media outlets in the future.....he already owns several companies.
