Fox News ^ | 3-15-2017 | Adam Shaw

Republican senators are asking Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to investigate claims that U.S. taxpayer money is being used to back left-wing billionaire George Soros' political meddling and similar efforts overseas.

A letter sent Tuesday asked for a probe into how U.S. funds are being used by agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to back left-wing political groups in other countries.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, one of the co-signers, even said foreign officials and political leaders have come to him with "reports of U.S. activity in their respective countries."

He said in a statement: "This includes reports of diplomats playing political favorites, USAID funds supporting extreme and sometimes violent political activists, and the US Government working

This is great! Congress is already investigating him for interfering with elections in Macedonia.

This Nazi likes to fly under the radar. Now his name is becoming a household word.

Winning!

“how U.S. funds are being used by agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)”

Shut it down. More savings, less government-paid leftist agitation.

Hopefully the next generation Soros, who is being groomed to take over, will get his wings clipped too.

Don’t know, but my guess is that because he’s had years of business relationships with foreign governments, he’s got the connections necessary to get better cooperation when pursuing the investigation.

..... foreign officials and political leaders have come with troubling reports about Soros: reports include U.S. activity in their respective countries, diplomats playing political favorites, USAID funds from the State Dept supporting extreme and sometimes violent political activists, and the US Government working (snip)......

Keep in mind, Trump is nudging his yet-unnamed ambassadors
to urge the respective countries to look into their govt's dealings
w/ the Clintons and the nefarious Clinton Foundation:

<><> foreign govt donations to the Clinton Foundation,

<><> govt donations to Hillary's campaign (illegal),

<><> the Clintons meddling in foreign elections,

<><> big buck speeches,

<><> consulting gigs for Bill,

<><> insider business deals,

<><> deals for Clinton cronies and insiders...and so on.

==============================================

These same ambassadors might also be nudged into looking into Soros' foreign activities. The buzz is Soros established "non-profits" in about 1000 foreign localities.

Soros numerous n/p's should be scrutinized as to an electronic/paper trail for money-laundering, tax-evasion, govt fraud....and so on.

Soros needs to be exposed.

Soros-funded NGOs aiming to bring down Hungarian govt
RT (Russia Today) ^ | 30 January 2017 / FR Posted by Lorianne

The activities of organizations funded by US billionaire investor George Soros in Hungary are “anti-democratic,” as they want to undermine the government in Budapest, the foreign minister of Hungary told RT.

Soros “would like this government to fail, he would like to kind of fire this government because he doesn’t like our approach, doesn’t like our policies,” Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told RT’s Sophie Shevardnadze. “We find it very anti-democratic if someone from abroad would like to influence Hungarian voters on whom to vote for,” he asserted.

Several days before the interview, the Hungarian parliament began to discuss a bill allowing authorities to audit NGO executives and request detailed reports on their foreign donations. Earlier in January, chairman of the ruling Fidesz party Szilard Nemeth said that “these organizations must be pushed back with all available tools, and I think they must be swept out, and now I believe the international conditions are right for this with the election of the new president [Donald Trump].”

Last September, Nemeth, who is also the deputy chairman of Hungary’s National Security Committee, submitted a list of 22 NGOs “connected to the Soros network for the purpose of having these organizations screened.” (Excerpt) Read more at rt.com ...

The State Dept has wasted billions of "foreign aid" tax dollars in flea-bitten mudholes like Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and other countries.

Much of the billions in foreign aid tax dollars are unaccounted for because a great deal of money was in untraceable bags full of cash.

Makes you ponder the actual amount that got to these dirt-poor places. Billions handed out based on the Clinton Greed angle....that Muslims turn to jihad because they lack economic opportunities and education.

Our tax dollars supposedly built schools and hospitals, based on cockamamie State Dept thinking that the US could win over the hearts and minds of the poverty- stricken locals.

These same jihadists are now pouring into the US plotting to kill us.

===========================================

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: Then-Secy Hillary chaired the State dept's "Millenium Challenge Corp"---she and Obama handed out billions. (Any of it in bags full of cash?)

Demand Congress open the books of illennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) at once. Demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.

6 OBAMAS READY TO CASH-IN---Pres O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (chaired by Hillary) on Michele's visit to Morocco for the purpose of "teaching Muslim girls"...... to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

Michele, her daughters and her mother in Morocco's palace.

Look at that smile----getting 100 million tax dollars to spend makes even greedy Michele smile.

That’s obvious. You obviously collect a lot of information. How do you organize it so that you’re able to pull it together so quickly? Is a lot of what you post pre-written so that when the opportunity comes, you can just copy and paste? I’m always interested in the work practices of unusually well-organized people.
