Meet The ‘New George Soros’ Using Front Groups To Influence Elections
dailycaller.com ^ | 5/2/2024 1400 hrs | Scott Walter

It’s a story that goes to the very heart of the Left’s mountain of shadowy funding and professional activism: a foreign billionaire infamous for illegally funding Democrats, enriched by selling ghoulish medical treatments that resulted in multiple deaths, and bankrolling a multimillion-dollar “dark money” campaign to transform America.

Meet Swiss-born Hansjörg Wyss (pronounced “Hans-yurg Veese”), perhaps the most important mega-donor you’ve never heard of. His Wyss Foundation, founded in 1998, quietly commands a stunning $2.7 billion in assets (as of 2021) and annually pours out tens of millions of dollars to activist groups—around a billion dollars between 2002 and 2021—so it’s little wonder he’s been called the “new George Soros.”

Wyss is one of the best-connected mega-donors on the left. He’s a member of the Democracy Alliance, a cabal of the rich and powerful that meets regularly to strategize funding to leftist activists. He’s also a substantial contributor to and sits on the board of the Center for American Progress, a leading liberal think tank founded by John Podesta, who chaired Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign. Podesta has reportedly advised Wyss on his funding of public policy efforts, and Podesta and Wyss Foundation president Molly McUsic have collaborated on stealthy nonprofit schemes to win elections for the Democratic Party.

Sounds a lot like foreign interference but I could be wrong. Again.

Wish I could understand the mental processes of these mega wealthy individuals and their support of such destructive organizations and political parties.

None of what they fund will have any effect on them except possibly more power and influence.

he had a "very good recession"

he had a "very good covid"

he wants a very dead America that's "in his way" of achieving global dominance/control.

...and he's a hero to the left.

Those funding the terrorist groups need to be sued for the civil rights violations and the structural damage from the spray paint they bought.

“Malefactors of great wealth.”

“It may well be that the determination of the government (in which, gentlemen, it will not waver) to punish certain malefactors of great wealth, has been responsible for something of the trouble; at least to the extent of having caused these men to combine to bring about as much financial stress as possible, in order to discredit the policy of the government and thereby secure a reversal of that policy, so that they may enjoy unmolested the fruits of their own evil-doing. . . . I regard this contest as one to determine who shall rule this free country—the people through their governmental agents, or a few ruthless and domineering men whose wealth makes them peculiarly formidable because they hide behind the breastworks of corporate organization.”—Theodore Roosevelt, 1907

Not a new problem at all. Except that, there is no longer any determination to keep the “great wealth” from corrupting and diminishing our national heritage, in ways and in directions that may not have even been conceived of in 1907.

It began with FDR, then the Clintons, then Bush, then Obama, and, now, the Biden-Obama cabal has won the final total victory...

Most recently, Reagan and, then, Buchanan warned us...
Nothing was done...

The response was a national shrugging of the shoulders and shouts of “What, me worry?”

They think they’re God but I doubt any of them believe in the one true God, Jesus Christ.

The good news is that Soros and Wyss probably won’t be around much longer.

George Soros is 93 years old.

Hansjörg Wyss is 88 years old.

Sounds like a Bond villain. Too bad Bond has been forced to retire because of his toxic masculinity.

Braveheart. One scene in the beginning, Longshanks hung all the Scottish nobles invited to a meeting.

Just saying.

The reason they won’t identify the organizations funding these riots is because they are too closely related to the democrat party. The Ford foundation, the Rockefeller foundation, Soros etc. Now what they do is funnel dark money into smaller college run entities to subvert these kids. As one commentator stated these organizers are on a career path that pays quite well to organize and corrupt these useful idiots on campus.
Oh and one more thing. The Iranians are using Hamas useful idiots and had them do the Oct 7th thing knowing Israel would respond.. Knowing their operatives would stir up the college campuses to fuel the riots coming this summer and fall before the elections. Turmoil in the streets is what they are looking for to oust Biden as the democrat nominee, and bring in someone else to try and beat Trump because the know Biden is toast. So, who will is be? Newsome? RFK Jr? And also know Iran and China are BFF’s and working in concert.
