White House Partner Asked Soros for $750K to Fund Pro-Iran Deal ‘Echo Chamber’

An organization that played a key role in the White House’s effort to mislead the public and Congress about last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran requested $750,000 for this campaign from a foundation backed by liberal billionaire George Soros, according to funding documents leaked to the public.

The Ploughshares Fund, a liberal organization cited by top White House officials as a chief architect of the Obama administration’s campaign to push the Iran deal, requested the cash from Soros’s Open Society Foundations so that it could pay off “experts and validators” of the administration’s diplomacy with Iran, according to a funding proposal titled, “Defending Iran Nuclear Diplomacy.”

The March 2015 funding request was leaked online as part of a massive document disclosure that revealed Soros’s efforts to fund a large network of liberal nonprofits and political groups.

The disclosure of the Ploughshares request shines further light on backroom efforts by the White House and its top allies to create what they called an “echo chamber” to galvanize public support for the nuclear deal with Iran.

Ploughshares was cited by senior White House officials as a chief architect of this campaign, which flooded the media with various experts touting the deal.

The scandal also has engulfed National Public Radio, which took money from Ploughshares while conducting interviews with proponents of the deal. NPR was also caught cancelling interviews with top congressional opponents of the agreement.

I wonder if that had anything to do with the pro Iran deal ads I recall seeing a number of months back on the Detroit TV stations I get for cable up in my neck of the woods?

No doubt the Donald is fileing away all this stuff, ready to throw it in Killary’s face, when the time is right.

She/it ain’t got a hope.

Compared to this, Scooter Libby went to jail for biting a hangnail.

“experts and validators”

If that doesn’t describe the MSM I don’t know what does.

look up “Ploughshares Foundation” on line, www.keywiki.org, www.DiscoverTheNetwork.com”, and even www.Wikipedia.com. Look at some of the names who started it in the beginning and you’ll see where some serious money came from.

They pose as “peace activists” but much of their work is anti-U.S. and only helps the communists and jihadists.
