NEW YORK Billionaire political activist George Soros is the primary patron of New York mayoral frontrunner Bill de Blasio, WND has learned.
Last month, the New York news media reported Soros had endorsed De Blasios mayoral bid but failed to disclose the billionaires major financial donation to the candidates nonprofit as well as De Blasios cozy working relationship with Soros-funded activist groups.
I am endorsing Bill de Blasio for Mayor because I believe he has the talent, vision and ability to lead New York City, Soros said in a statement released by the de Blasio campaign in early August.
As Public Advocate, Bill de Blasio has promoted concrete policy changes that would mean far fewer innocent New Yorkers are subjected to demeaning police stops while at the same time maintaining reductions in crime.
In 2011, using his position of public advocate, De Blasio launched a nonprofit called the Coalition for Accountability in Political Spending, or CAPS. The group received its primary launch donation of $400,000 from Soros Open Society Institute.
De Blasio used his group and his public office to organize with other Soros-funded groups.
In 2011, Chris Bragg at CityAndStateNY.com reported De Blasio pursued a case against the Minnesota-based Target Corporation after the company contributed $150,000 to an organization that promoted a local politician, Tom Emmer, for governor. Emmer had drawn controversy for reportedly opposed a law that sought to combat the bullying of homosexual youth.
De Blasios office reportedly responded by organizing a protest with MoveOn.org, which is funded directly by Soros as well as by the Soros-funded Tides Foundation.
De Blasio also worked with other Soros-funded groups, noted Bragg, including Common Cause, the advocacy group Public Citizen and the D.C.-based Center for Political Accountability.

All politicians it would seem are Soros front men...or women
George Soros donated over $100,000 to Sen.John McCain’s think tank in 2008. Soros seems to “buy” politicians.
Based on his campaign ads, it’s clear that De Blasio is a dedicated movement Communist who will stoke race hatred and class envy while looting the private sector, finding cushy public sector jobs for legions of corrupt and incompetent party loyalists, and cracking down on everybody else’s rights and freedoms.
He’s a member of the New Party.
