George Soros spent $40 million to elect 75 ‘social justice’ prosecutors in crime-ridden cities

Under Democrat influence, America is weakening daily, increasingly resembling the lawless and poverty-stricken countries that drove immigrants to its borders in the first place. With open borders, America creeps toward a Marxist globalist vision of an imaginary utopia, as its progressive socialist Biden government cronies appoint and hire those committed to doing its bidding. The forces working toward America’s demise are deep.
George Soros has exercised enormous influence under the radar, in every sector of American society. Two years ago, the Washington Times reported that “George Soros is 89 years old, but by gosh, before he dies, he’s going to see to the internal destruction of America.”
Soros has been pouring money into campaigns to help elect lenient social justice district attorneys for quite some time. It isn’t that Soros or the progressive movement genuinely cares about the welfare of minorities, particularly blacks in the inner cities and those who have been escorted in under open-door immigration policies. His funding has to do with usurping America’s democracy and capitalist system and replacing it with socialism, a system of government that has never worked for the people throughout history. Instead, it led to the creation of abusive regimes that eventually saw multitudes murdered for daring to oppose its tenets.
Even Politico did a piece in 2016 about Soros quietly overhauling the American justice system from within by “zeroing in” on American prosecutors and working toward criminal justice reform. It led to its desired effect: a crime surge, but was sold to the American public as noble social justice to help minorities.
Although progressives have succeeded in transforming the landscape, the adverse consequences are becoming ever more obvious. The globalist project is a stark failure, and people are waking up to the truth about the dark Democratic money machine. For instance:
San Francisco residents voted to recall Chesa Boudin, a progressive district attorney who sought to reform the criminal-justice system but met fierce opposition from critics who painted him as too lenient on crime.
But the political structure is hierarchical, so the battle for the soul of America continues. San Francisco Mayor London Breed is a Democrat, so it’s expected that she will appoint another progressive district attorney. It all depends on how far Left, and on the influences behind the scene. According to John Hamasaki, a former San Francisco police commissioner, “shifting who’s in that office will likely have little impact on the way cases are prosecuted.” But it’s a start. Breed raised eyebrows among her more radical cohorts when she vowed in December to “take steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement” against criminals “and less tolerant of all the bull— that has destroyed our city.”
In the meantime, the Soros puppetmaster continues to shower the Democrat machine with unlimited funds.
“Soros spent $40 million to elect 75 ‘social justice’ prosecutors: Report,” by Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner, June 6, 2022:
Sky-high campaign donations from liberal anti-police billionaire George Soros and his groups have helped to elect 75 “social justice” prosecutors in whose cities jailings have plummeted and crime has surged, according to a new report provided to Secrets.
In a 17-page report compiled by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, a decade of spending has put Soros prosecutors in enough big cities that they represent 1 in 5 people, or about 72 million. That includes about half of America’s 50 most populous cities and counties where 40% of U.S. homicides occur.
Soros is a well-known proponent of social justice prosecution, which calls for lighter sentences, especially of minorities. The movement, however, has led to higher crime in some cities and has been decried by pro-law-and-order conservatives.
Police have led the charge against liberal prosecutors who have been refusing to file charges that lead to long prison sentences.
In a statement to Secrets, LELDF President Jason Johnson hit the Soros funding.
“Soros is using that campaign money and the hundreds of millions more for supporting organizations to quietly transform the criminal justice system for the worse, promoting dangerous policies and anti-police narratives to advance his radical agenda,” said Johnson.
He added, “Over the past decade, George Soros has spent $40 million to elect 75 of his chosen prosecutors. In campaigns from Houston and Los Angeles to Philadelphia and Orlando, Soros was the campaign’s biggest spender by far — as much as 90% of the dollars spent in some races. Soros isn’t done yet — he’s already spent another million so far this year on his hand-picked district attorneys.”
Soros is well known in liberal donor circles as a supporter of the most liberal causes, including for groups advocating gun bans and defunding the police. That has made him a prime target of law enforcement groups.
The report found that many new district attorneys had little experience but the support of liberal donors such as Soros. What’s more, it said that as the social justice movement has grown, so has funding of district attorney political campaigns.
“Traditionally, elections for district attorney have been quiet affairs. Candidates spent very little on their campaigns, instead jockeying for local endorsements and burnishing their legal qualifications for the top job. That changed recently as millions of campaign dollars have flowed into these down ballot contests. The bulk of that lavish spending on advertising and consultants has been done by (or on behalf of) ‘social justice’ candidates,” said the report.
“In most of these free spending contests, progressive forces proved victorious by either defeating incumbent Democrats or crushing a field of primary contenders. Strikingly, most of these prosecutors were political neophytes and had zero prosecutorial experience — previously an assumed prerequisite for office. Many have no previous criminal case experience,” it added.
The report listed many of the groups that have used Soros’s funding to elect prosecutors. And it lists the biggest winners of that money, including Chicago’s Kim Foxx, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and Loudoun County, Virginia, Commonwealth Attorney Buta Biberaj………
