Sexual Deviant John Conyers Is The Hero Of Soros-Backed Drug Legalization Movement

Rep. John Conyers (D-CA), who is being pressured to resign after allegations of sexual impropriety have emerged, is a long-time favorite of the drug legalization movement funded by socialist billionaire George Soros. Conyers received the Justice Gerald Le Dain Award for Achievement in the Field of Law from the Soros-backed Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) in 2003.
“Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) will be in attendance to speak and receive an award from the Alliance for his tireless work toward drug policy reform,” a DPA press release said.
Despite allegations of sexual harassment being hurled at him by an ex-staffer, Conyers does not plan to resign from Congress. Conyers, 88, has served as a House Rep from the city of Detroit since 1965. He does not want to leave his cushy post on Capitol Hill, even if it means disgracing his party with his presence.
“In our country, we strive to honor this fundamental principle that all are entitled to due process. In this case, I expressly and vehemently denied the allegations made against me, and continue to do so,” Conyers said in a public statement released following the allegations.
In his five decades in Congress, Conyers has voted for debt increases, tax hikes and regulatory powergrabs dozens of times. This has not prevented Soros-backed fronts such as the DPA from propping up the man as a hero of racial and economic justice.

“He has been particularly outspoken in his opposition to mandatory minimum sentencing, voter disenfranchisement and racial profiling fueled by the war on drugs,” the DPA said in their defense of Conyers.
In recent months, Soros-backed fronts such as the DPA – who had previously referred to their organizations as ‘nonpartisan’ over the years – have shown their true colors. They are going out of their way to oppose Trump, even if it means destroying the marijuana freedom movement that has taken so many decades to develop into a national force. A prominent marijuana activist held a “COPS AND THE KKK GO HAND IN HAND” sign at an anti-capitalist rally in Missouri earlier this year, and an effort to purge Trump associate Roger Stone from the marijuana movement over partisan sour grapes continues as well.

Soros-Backed Groups Pick 2018 ‘Target List’

PICO Action Fund, Center for Popular Democracy, and People's Action set sights on nearly 20 congressional Republicans

A group financed by liberal billionaire George Soros and an organization approved of the Democracy Alliance, a secretive club of deep-pocketed liberal donors, have identified nearly 20 congressional Republicans that they will target during the 2018 elections, according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The documents, which were obtained at the Democracy Alliance's secretive fall investment conference that took place Nov. 15-18 at the posh La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, Calif., sheds light on the upcoming electoral action plans of a progressive organization in the recommended funding network of the alliance.
The PICO Action Fund, which has an organized presence in 21 states, was incorporated in 2012 as a 501(c)4 social welfare organization to "support and engage people of faith in efforts to eliminate poverty and racism, promote civic engagement and participation, and increase economic opportunity in the United States." It is tied to the PICO National Network, an Oakland, Calif.-based social services group that bills itself as "nonpartisan" organization.
The PICO Action Fund will work in coordination with the Center for Popular Democracy, a New York-based nonprofit that contains old chapters of the controversial and now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN); and People's Action, a Chicago-based left-wing group that pushes for "structural reform," to target key Republican-held districts during the 2018 elections, according to the fund's civic engagement plan.
Soros, a founding partner of the alliance, has combined to give millions from his Open Society Foundations to all three groups.
"Over the next two cycles, the PICO Action Fund will challenge Trump and his dangerous agenda on all fronts—in the streets, in state houses and Congress, and at the ballot box," the group's agenda reads.
"Looking ahead to 2018, the PICO Action Fund is focused on preventing a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate (recognizing that even in the best-case scenario Republicans will maintain control); taking ground in the U.S. House; and especially working to support efforts to elect progressive governors and state legislators who will oversee census and redistricting in 2020-2021," it continues.
Its civic engagement plan talks of prioritizing voters of color, women, millennials, and "breaking dominant norms of the voting industry that has misled Democratic establishment toward a failing strategy of chasing after the ever-elusive white swing voter with moderate messages that turn off the base." The group additionally seeks to "dismantle the arrangement to keep voters marginalized through voter suppression, gerrymandering, and a white-male dominated DC consulting culture that feeds its own coffers at the expense of the effective voter engagement strategy."
The Republicans identified by the group as "Tier 1" targets include: Reps. Jeff Denham (R., Calif.), Steve Knight (R., Calif.), Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), Mike Coffman (R., Colo.), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's (R., Fla.) open seat, Erik Paulsen (R., Minn.), Rodney Frelinghuysen (R., N.J.), Ryan Costello (R., Pa.), Pat Meehan (Pa.), and Charlie Dent's (R., Pa.) open seat.
Republicans on their "Tier 2" target list include Reps. David Valadao (Calif.), Ed Royce (Calif.), Mimi Walters (Calif.), Dana Rohrabacher (Calif.), Carlos Curbelo (Fla.), Jason Lewis (Minn.), Steve Pearce's (N.M) open seat, Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), and Pete Sessions (Texas).
The groups are additionally focusing on a number of seats that will be open during the 2018 elections that are currently occupied by Democrats.

The PICO Action Fund and Center for Popular Democracy are both recommended organizations for funding purposes for Democracy Alliance members, as their 2020 vision for the alliance shows.
The PICO Action Fund did not return a request for comment on its 2018 electoral strategy laid out in the memo by press time.
The groups working on the 2018 efforts also have ties to other prominent Soros-funded groups, have been involved in a number of anti-Trump protests, and have direct connections to massive "resistance" networks that will focus on upcoming elections.
The Center for Popular Democracy is closely linked to Make the Road New York, a Latino organizing group that has nearly 19,000 dues-paying members and is also funded by Soros. The groups teamed up on the "Corporate Backers of Hate" campaign that "named and shamed" companies or groups they said could benefit from President Trump's policies.
Andrew Friedman, now the co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy, cofounded Make the Road in 1997. Friedman sits on the board of directors of Make the Road and its action fund.
Ana Maria Archilla, also co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy, was the co-executive director of Make the Road before moving to her current position.
Marbre Stahly-Butts, a policy advocate at the Center for Popular Democracy, was a George Soros Justice Fellow before joining the group.
Javier Valdes, the co-executive director of Make the Road, serves as the board chair of the Center for Popular Democracy.
The Center for Popular Democracy and Make the Road passed hundreds of thousands of dollars between each other, the Free Beacon previously reported.
Make the Road was also reported to have been behind the "spontaneous" protests at New York's JFK Airport following Trump's initial Muslim travel ban. The protests, despite being billed as organic, had been planned since the day after the presidential election.
The Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund, the 501(c) 4 sister organization of the Center for Popular Democracy, also leads an $80 million anti-Trump network that was launched earlier this year.
The network, which spans across 32 states and has 48 local partners, seeks to mobilize voters and fight voter identification laws. The effort will also focus on gerrymandering and automatic voter registration programs for the 2018 and 2020 elections.
Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.), the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, has thrown his support behind the multi-million dollar anti-Trump network.
"This national network, led by working class people of color and immigrants, will supply the power and the fight we need to resist the Trump administration's all-out assault on American values," Ellison said of the effort. "I look forward to standing with CPD Action's leaders in the streets and in Congress to win real progressive change."

Hungarian PM Orban says George Soros will interfere in election, vows to stop him

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has vowed to use all the means at his disposal to counter the influence of George Soros, warning that the American billionaire is planning to interfere in next year’s elections in the country.

In an interview with Kossuth radio on Friday, Orban again accused Soros of attempting to undermine Hungarian institutions and society through his network of NGOs and pro-immigration stance, and revealed that the Hungarian intelligence services had compiled a report on Soros’ activities.
“We want a different future, and... it was my duty to enlist all possible tools of the state, including intelligence, the secret services, legal and public debate,” Orban told listeners. “Therefore, we ordered an intelligence report on the composition, workings and Hungarian and European influence of this Soros machinery... Hungary’s very existence is at stake.”

Soros accuses Hungary of ‘anti-Muslim sentiment & anti-Semitic tropes in campaign against him'

Orban and Soros have long been at odds over the issue of asylum seekers and refugees entering Europe. Orban considers mass immigration, particularly from Muslim countries, as an existential threat to Europe. Soros, meanwhile, has consistently advocated on behalf of refugees, immigrants and asylum seekers. Citing his intelligence report, Orban accused Soros of using his NGOs as a front for supporting opposition groups, which in turn criticize the government’s stance on immigration.
Orban, whose ruling right-wing Fidesz party is currently leading in the polls, then went on to say that Soros is planning to use his network to interfere in parliamentary elections due to take place in April.
“They will support publications, do propaganda, strengthen civil groups, and pay hundreds, thousands of people. By election time they will establish ‘civil centers’ which will work like campaigning parties, meaning the Soros network has entered the Hungarian election campaign.”
A spokesman for Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) confirmed to Reuters that the group planned to open two more centers in the south and east of Hungary, but said they will handle education, healthcare and poverty programs, and would not get involved in immigration or politics.

Reports of Hungary’s slide into ‘dictatorship’ have been exaggerated

In a video released earlier Friday before Orban’s remarks, Soros lamented what he perceived to be Orban’s slide towards authoritarianism and crusade against Soros-funded groups. The two men used to be on the same side during Hungary’s transition from communism, and in 1989, the future Hungarian leader was himself the recipient of a Soros grant to study at Oxford University, which he has since pledged to repay. In the video, Soros accused the current Hungarian government of being even more oppressive than the communist regime.

"Back then, we were more successful in supporting society in getting access to support and information," Soros said. The political system in Hungary today “is the complete opposite of what we wanted to help achieve."

Soros sheltering $18bn that American tax authorities can never touch

Billionaire investor George Soros has funneled a sum bigger than the economies of Jamaica or Albania to a private charity he controls. The money can never be taxed by the US Internal Revenue Service.

Soros says he wants to pay more taxes, but prefers Ireland where he paid less than $1,000

The founder of the $26 billion Soros Fund Management, transferred $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations over the past several years.
As the Wall Street Journal specifies, when a person donates untaxed, appreciated assets to a private foundation, he may also hold up to 20 percent of its market value on his personal tax return, carrying forward this deduction for five years.
When Congress eliminated the tax break in 2008, investors were given until December 31, 2017, to bring the cash home and pay the accumulated taxes. After Soros used the tax maneuver, he owes nothing to the IRS.
The donors can continue controlling the money for years or even decades, as foundations can hire family members with six-figure salaries to manage the charity.
Thus, the money can be kept by the Soros family almost forever. Soros himself has repeatedly said the wealthy in the United States should pay more taxes.
The newspaper also mentions self-proclaimed philanthropists like Mark Zuckerberg, who has promised to give up 99 percent of his Facebook shares which are worth $70 billion to the charity his family owns.

Washington Post reporter caught plotting liberal agenda with billionaire George Soros

By Brian Flood | Fox News

Ross covered the 2016 presidential election closely, but the majority of her stories appear to be anti-Trump in retrospect.

Allegedly unbiased Washington Post reporter Janell Ross spoke at a top-secret meeting of liberal movers and shakers last week, where Democratic donors including billionaire George Soros outlined the future of their progressive agenda.

A Post spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon that Ross took part of the California event “without notifying her superiors that she would be attending.”

The Democracy Alliance, which hosted the event, bills itself as “the largest network of donors dedicated to building the progressive movement in the United States” on the group’s official website. The liberal group also claims to “play a leading role in fostering the infrastructure necessary to advance a progressive agenda” in the United States.

The group intended to keep “the identities of its members and guests confidential,” according to the Beacon, but the paper obtained a “detailed conference agenda that lists both events and featured guests.” Once the Beacon revealed the attendees, the group reportedly beefed up security and asked participants to keep details off social media.
One of the surprising guests was Ross, who used to pass as a somewhat impartial reporter for the prestigious Post. While the paper’s slogan is, “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” she apparently wanted to keep her bosses in the dark about attending the liberal planning session and hanging out with prominent Democratic donors such as Soros.

According to the agenda published by the Beacon, Ross’ panel aimed to help the liberal attendees get “the economic narrative right" and was immediately followed by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) speaking about on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Media Research Center Vice President Dan Gainor called it a “classic example” of journalism “openly coordinating with the alt-left” to take down conservatives.

“Someone should introduce reporter Janell Ross and her boss Marty Baron to the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics. It appears they haven't read it, or any other text on journalistic ethics."

- Media Research Center Vice President Dan Gainor

“Someone should introduce reporter Janell Ross and her boss Marty Baron to the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics. It appears they haven't read it, or any other text on journalistic ethics. Funny, the movie ‘Spotlight’ portrays Baron as a big advocate of legitimate journalism,” Gainor told Fox News. “Can't wait for the sequel that shows the Post for what it really is, the research and reporting arm of the left.”
While it’s surprising that a reporter from the Post would appear at such a partisan event, a quick glance at Ross’ archive page on the paper’s website reveals her agenda. One headline lumps President Trump into the same category as O.J. Simpson, while others touch on issues of race and gender discrimination. She covered the 2016 presidential election closely, but the majority of her stories appear to be anti-Trump in retrospect.
Members of the secretive liberal group who attended the shady presentation each promised to donate at least $20,000 to advance its left-wing agenda. The session was part of a three-day conference at the luxurious La Costa Resort located in Carlsbad, Calif., last week, where the group plotted their 2018 "resistance" and game plan, according to the Beacon. Soros was introduced by a video message from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, according to the paper.
"We’ve only now learned about her participation in this event," a Washington Post spokesperson told the Beacon when asked about Ross’ involvement, adding that she has been "reminded" that the paper "discourages" participation in events that may be "perceived as partisan."
Ross did not comment when reached by the Beacon.
The Washington Post did not respond to questions from Fox News on whether or not Ross will be disciplined for attending the event. Ross did not respond to our request for comment either.
The Democracy Alliance did not respond to a question about who funded Ross’ trip to the ritzy resort where the event was held.

Roy Moore: Gloria Allred’s Refusal to Release Yearbook Proves Accusations Are False

November 18, 2017 Editor 484 Comments

(Breitbart) Birmingham, ALABAMA — Attorney and activist Gloria Allred’s repeated refusal to immediately release to the custody of an independent examiner the original copy of a yearbook at the center of national controversy proves that “what they have alleged is completely untrue,” senatorial candidate Roy Moore stated in an interview.

Roy Moore (Facebook)

The yearbook in question contains the only piece of physical evidence to be presented in the cases of numerous women who have gone public with stories alleging inappropriate conduct between Moore and teenage girls. Moore has strenuously denied the accusations.
Moore specifically pointed to the initials “D.A.” that appear after the signature on the yearbook to further demonstrate that the yearbook inscription and signature represent what he described as a forgery and “complete fabrication.”
Moore was speaking in an interview for this reporter’s weekend talk radio show, Aaron Klein Investigative Radio, broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM. The interview will air in full on Sunday night…
Nelson claims that Moore signed her yearbook in 1977 sometime just before Christmas.

At a press conference in New York, Allred presented a photocopy of the yearbook with an inscription that reads: “To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say, ‘Merry Christmas.’ Love, Roy Moore DA, 12-22-77, Olde Hickory House…”
In our interview, Moore spotlighted the initials “D.A.,” linking it to a signature on Nelson’s 1999 divorce document over two decades later. That signature was followed by the initials of his former assistant, Delbra Adams, who only started working for him in 1987…

Court Docs: Big Questions about Roy Moore Accuser

November 23, 2017 Editor 145 Comments

(Breitbart) Court documents involving Leigh Corfman, who says that Alabama senatorial candidate Roy Moore tried to engage in a sexual encounter with her when she was 14, raise questions about the timeline and narrative of Corfman’s accusations against the politician…
Regarding the original court hearing where Corfman says that Moore asked her for her number while Wells went inside the courtroom, the Post reported that it “confirmed that her mother attended a hearing at the courthouse in February 1979 through divorce records.”
A thorough search of court documents finds one court case in February 1979—a case that took place on February 21, 1979.
The Post failed to tell readers that at that February 21, 1979, court case Wells voluntarily gave up custody of Corfman to Corfman’s father, Robert R. Corfman.  The two had been divorced since 1974.  The custody case was amicable and involved a joint petition by both parents.
RELATED: Roy Moore: Gloria Allred’s Refusal to Release Yearbook Proves Accusations Are False
The Post further did not tell readers that as a result of the joint petition to change custody, the court ordered the 14-year-old Corfman to move to her father’s house starting on March 4, 1979.

Court documents show the father’s address in Ohatchee, and not in Gadsden, where her mother lived and where Corfman says the meetings with Moore took place.
This would mean that from the court hearing on February 21, 1979, until Corfman was ordered to move to her father’s house, Moore would only have had 12 days, including the day of the court hearing, to have repeatedly called Corfman at her mother’s Gadsden house, arrange two meetings, and attempt another. Moore has strenuously denied the accusations…
