It’s been long-speculated that George Soro’s bankrolled activists but now tax records prove undeniably that Soro poured millions into a dark money hub used to dismantle the police department.
Soro’s Foundation to Promote Open Society pumped $3 million into Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability (CRH). The clearinghouse used funds to efforts to defund the police according to tax records.
Of Soros’ funding, $2 million went toward creating a “budgeting Academy program” to “train community safety advocates in how to advocate around their local municipal budgets,” the grants show. The remaining $1 million was for general support.
Soros’ nonprofit previously sent $1.5 million to the resource center in 2019. Of that, $500,000 went toward establishing the hub, tax forms show.
Soros’ funding of CRH is yet another instance showing how his cash funds efforts to reshape the justice system. For years, Soros has showered district attorney races with money, oftentimes backing the most progressive candidate. His nonprofit empire has devoted hundreds of millions toward racial equality, including tens of millions for local efforts for criminal justice reform.
CRH describes itself “as a resource for local advocates and organizers working to address the harms of policing in the U.S.” that seeks to “cultivate community safety and accountability outside of the criminal legal system.”
Wealthy donors are spending millions of dollars to back would-be prosecutors who want to reduce incarceration with the ultimate goal being to reshape the justice system. So that elites, like Soro’s can decide who goes to jail and who doesn’t.
In part, I’m sure, to keep their crooked friends out of jail while sending wavemakers and competitors away. That’s just speculation, but why else would you want to control the justice system? Just take a look at what these organizations have done thus far. ‘Defund the police’ did nothing but cause more crime and embolden criminals.
