Soros Groups Get Hacked, Hundreds Of Documents Leaked
The Daily Caller ^ | 8/13/16 | Alex Pfeiffer

Posted on 08/14/2016 11:16:25 AM PDT by Mozilla

Hundreds of internal documents from groups run by prominent billionaire liberal donor George Soros were leaked online Saturday after hackers infiltrated the groups.

The 2,576 files were released by DCLeaks, a website which claims to be “launched by the American hacktivists who respect and appreciate freedom of speech, human rights and government of the people.”

The documents are from multiple departments of Soros’ organizations. Soros’ the Open Society Foundations seems to be the group with the most documents in the leak. Files come from sections representing almost all geographical regions in the world, “the President’s Office”, and something named SOUK.

MEMORANDUM

To: U.S. Programs Board

From: Maria Teresa Rojas

Date: February 13, 2010

Subject: Comprehensive Immigration Reform Update

We are facing a decisive moment for immigration reform this year. The board dinner

conversation scheduled for Feb. 23 is designed to give you an opportunity to talk with the

leadership of the Reform Immigration FOR America Campaign (RIFA). OSI and its sister

foundation, the Foundation to Promote Open Society, have previously supported the work

of the Campaign and other organizations advocating for immigration reform strictly in

accordance with the regulations applicable to private foundations under the US Internal

Revenue Code. The information the RIFA Campaign leaders will present at the dinner will

give the Board context for the continuation of this work. I provide here some background

information for that conversation on the current prospects for immigration reform and the

work of the Campaign. As in the past, all support for the Campaign from OSI and related

entities will be provided in strict compliance with the regulations applicable to US private

foundations, and thus no such support will be earmarked for lobbying activities.

Status of Immigration Reform

Based on the best knowledge and analysis from respected sources—both at OSI and inside

the beltway—there are strong indicators that immigration reform is still possible in early

2010.

Immediately after the Massachusetts special election, the outlook did not seem promising.

However, while some thought the President would stay as far away from the immigration

issue as possible in his State of the Union address, he did mention the subject, even if only

briefly, and Administration officials quickly reaffirmed their commitment following the

President’s address.

Equally, if not more importantly, Senator Graham continues to work with Senator Schumer

on a bi-partisan agreement, and he continues to express his support for immigration

reform. Several of his fellow Senate Republicans, including Lugar, Voinovich, and likely

Snowe, Collins, and McCain are also prepared to support legislation. Schumer and Graham

are expected to introduce a bill that has strong bipartisan support by late March, with

hearings being held shortly thereafter. Rep. Luis Gutierrez has already introduced an

immigration reform bill in the House that is widely supported by immigrant rights

advocates. Their goal is to move a bill through both legislative bodies by the end of June.

Another significant factor is the support from many businesses, particularly in the high- tech and agricultural sectors. Unlike climate change, health care and financial regulatory

reform, immigration reform has significant corporate support.

In addition, the threat of alienating the Latino community, and losing large swathes of their

votes, is influencing both Democrats and Republicans to support immigration reform.

Finally, there is a vast social movement powering the effort for reform. The immigrant

rights movement put millions of people on the streets in 2006, and plans are in the works

for major mobilizations this year. The intensity of support in immigrant communities—and

the capacity to mobilize at scale—is greater than the support or mobilization capacity for

any other issue on the national agenda.

Immigration advocates and their supporters are not blind to the many obstacles that exist.

The RIFA Campaign leadership describes these as “a crowded Senate calendar, the

challenge of positioning immigration as part of an economic recovery strategy rather than

as irrelevant or harmful to job creation, and not least the ‘fear factor’ about doing anything

big that has swept through Democratic ranks in the wake of the MA special election.”

There is a lot at stake here, as the RIFA Campaign recently reported: “Through a

legalization program that would make all workers and employers taxpayers, the nation

would benefit from $1.5 trillion in additional GDP over 10 years and the creation of

750,000 – 900,000 jobs due to increased consumer spending. Without reform, mass

deportation will lead to $2.6 trillion in lost GDP over 10 years, not counting the cost of

actual deportation: a $4 trillion swing.”

Based on information from the White House, Department of Homeland Security and

Congressional leadership, advocates have identified the following policy fault lines:

1. Legalization: Concepts have surfaced that would require immigrants seeking to

legalize their status to plead guilty to a criminal offense that would be expunged

from their record after payment of a fine and completion of community service.

There is strong opposition to this proposal on many fronts.

2. Family Immigration: In order to clear the current backlog of applications, tradeoffs

being considered include freezing family categories for several years. There

continues to be discussion of imposing a point or merit-based system in lieu of the

current family and/or employment-based visa categories, thus eliminating long- standing immigration priorities and values for family reunification.

3. Future Flow: The challenging economic environment immigration reform faces is

exacerbated by tension between organized labor and business interests. Labor

favors future flow of work-based immigration controlled by a commission that

would base visa numbers on labor market data. Business would like economic

needs to drive employment visa numbers, and is skeptical a commission would

include leadership friendly to their interests. Furthermore, the controversy of guest

worker visa programs remains an issue as many opponents believe all immigration

should be temporary, at best.

4. Border and Interior Enforcement: Allies on the border (elected officials, law

enforcement, faith, business and others) have grown in strength and sophistication,

yet further militarization of the border is under consideration. Troublingly, interior

enforcement measures may build upon existing electronic verification systems and

concepts have surfaced that include national biometric identity cards.

5. Due Process: Scenarios may emerge where legislators trade moderate interior

enforcement measures for delayed restoration of judicial review and/or

discretionary waivers of removal.

Status of the Immigration Reform Campaign

With significant support from OSI and a number of other partner foundations, the

immigrant rights field is in the strongest position it has ever been—it has in place for the

first time a diverse coalition, a well thought out strategy, and the expertise and reach

necessary to achieve reform of the immigration system.

Over the last six months alone, the Reform Immigration FOR America Campaign, with

funding from multiple sources besides OSI, has achieved new heights:

Built a national infrastructure of 64 organizers in 39 states, bolstered by nearly

1,000 volunteers trained by the Campaign’s unique Movement Building program.

Conducted frequent public opinion research nationwide with Latino and swing

voters to track support for comprehensive immigration reform as well as to test and

refine messages. The Campaign’s polling shows that comprehensive immigration

reform consistently enjoys the support of 80% of voters nationwide and has

emerged as a litmus test issue for Latino voters.

Organized deep political support across labor, business, faith, law enforcement, local

elected officials, African American and immigrant constituencies at the local and

national levels.

Organized a national teleconference town hall with members of Congress that

engaged 1,000 house parties in 39 states, and dozens of radio markets, reaching

over 60,000 listeners.

Generated over a half million calls and faxes into the White House and Congress.

The RIFA Campaign’s Plan

The Campaign has recalibrated its efforts to account for the political realities of the

moment. It has put in place a plan involving two phases. Phase I (between now and April)

will be focused on ensuring that bi-partisan legislation will be on the Congressional agenda

this term. Phase II will focus on building support for reform by the end of June.

Phase I activities consist of the following:

• Dominate the Congressional recess with strategic large scale events and multi- constituency district meetings.
Page 3 of 7
Page 4 of 7

• A faith-led mass mobilization in Washington, DC in March and activism that helps to

build the immigration movement in general. For example, urging people to attend a

rally or write letters to oppose the anti-immigrant efforts of Joe Arpaio or workplace

raids.

• Identify and amplify “game changers”: Mayor Bloomberg, law enforcement, business

leadership and other moderate/conservative and independent voices.

• Use earned media outlets to get non-traditional spokespeople into mainstream and

new media.

• Re-energize efforts to marginalize the opposition. Generate research and reports on

subjects such as analyses of the economic impact of immigrants, the cost to families

and society of separating families as a result of immigration policy, etc.

Recognizing that immigration reform increasingly needs to be viewed as a mainstream

issue, the RIFA Campaign also will intensify the work that has gone into cultivating and

deepening support from the faith community, law enforcement, local elected officials, and

from African-American leaders.

Regardless of the immediate outcome, the nature of the Campaign is such that all of these

activities will leave in place an infrastructure that will serve the immigrants’ rights

community for years to come.

Administrative Advocacy Developments

In closing, I would like to highlight that parallel to the legislative reform efforts, immigrant

advocates have been making progress in influencing administrative rulemaking at the

federal level. Significant changes include:

• Right to Counsel: Attorney General Eric Holder recently overturned a Bush

Administration ruling that immigrants in removal proceedings do not have a right to

counsel at their own expense. This will make it much easier now for immigrants to

appeal their removal orders based on ineffective legal counsel.

• Detention: DHS has announced a series of reforms, including expanding the use of

alternatives to detention, detaining immigrants in facilities that are appropriate to

the risk they represent, improving medical care for detainees, and increasing the

oversight of contracted detention centers.

• No-Match Rule: The Obama Administration rescinded a regulation that directed

employers to take certain steps, including discharging workers, if they receive a

letter from the Social Security Administration stating that its records do not match

the information submitted by an employee.

• Raids: The Administration has prioritized the investigation and prosecution of

employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers, and eliminated arrest

quotas that led to large-scale enforcement raids. Still, significant troubling practices

remain, such as the expansion of programs that utilize local law enforcement

agencies to help with immigration enforcement.

Teresa Rojas, International Migration Initiative Director

Re: Possible National Biometric Identification Card Proposal as Part of Comprehensive

Immigration Reform

We write to follow up on our December 17 Seize the Day call discussion concerning efforts that

are underway to block the institution of a national biometric identification card as a condition of

comprehensive immigration reform (CIR).

On November 6, the National Security and Human Rights Campaign and the Immigrant Rights

Initiative convened two dozen of the nation’s leading privacy experts and immigration advocates

for an off-the record moderated discussion at OSI’s DC office. Our goal was to ensure that the

privacy rights community and the immigrant rights community – two groups that receive

significant support from US Programs but rarely interface with one another – share information

and strategies to avoid the loss of privacy and risk to information security that would result

should Senator Charles Schumer carry through on his plan to include a national biometric

identification card system as part of CIR legislation. In public and private comments, Schumer

has repeatedly stated that the path to earned legalization for the 12 million undocumented

persons currently in the United States depends on stopping future illegal immigration through the

enrollment of all U.S. workers, citizens and non-citizens alike, in a biometric-based national

identification card system, and then barring employers from hiring workers not enrolled in this

system.1

The convening participants were briefed by three privacy experts – Chris Calabrese of the ACLU

Washington Legislative Office, Tyler Moran of the National Immigration Law Center, and Jim

Harper of the Cato Institute – who sternly warned of the dangers that a national biometric

identification card system would pose:

• Fingerprinting 150 million citizen and non-citizen workers would create both a political

and a logistical nightmare.

• The infrastructure to build such a system does not yet exist. As a result, the combined

cost of a such a system to government, to the employees who would be required to take

time off from work in order to apply for cards and verify their identity, and to the

employers who would need to acquire access to specialized card reading equipment in

order to verify the identify of prospective employees, would be astronomical

1

This memo focuses on only one of a number of troubling provisions that Schumer views as central to

securing bipartisan support for CIR – a biometric national identification card system. Of greater and

more immediate concern to the immigrant rights community is Schumer’s support for the imposition of

criminal penalties on undocumented immigrants as a condition of legalization.
Page 5 of 7
Page 6 of 7

• Nor does the technology exist to build a fool-proof system that can ensure the accuracy

and safety of the huge volume of private information such a system would collect, or to

guard against identity fraud. If a massive, centralized database were to be corrupted or

fail, the results could be catastrophic.

• As was the case with the Social Security card, the uses for a national biometric

identification card can be expected to extend far beyond its original purpose and to serve

as a universal identifier. Because it will be digitalized, the card could be used to track in

real time the movement, activities, preferences, and religious and political leanings of all

American workers, and vast troves of personal information could be shared

inappropriately and improperly used as the basis for discriminating against specific

individuals and classes of individuals.

• The system would lead to the marginalization of undocumented immigrants and citizens

who have fallen through the gaps.

A candid and constructive exchange of information followed these briefings. The immigration

rights advocates explained that the threat of a national biometric identification card was one of

several serious CIR-related concerns on their radar screen. While no consensus emerged on the

best way to move forward, both communities expressed appreciation for the opportunity to meet

with and learn from the other and in continuing the discussion.

As Congress decides the fate of health care reform in the wake of the January special senatorial

election in Massachusetts, advocates believe that Senator Schumer will wait until March to

introduce a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill, and that the bill will likely include

a national biometric identification card provision.2

While the Senate will be taking the lead role

in shepherding immigration reform legislation through the Congress, a House immigration

reform bill that was introduced in December presents a potentially viable alternative to

Schumer’s vision. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and

Prosperity Act of 2009 (“CIR ASAP Act”) (H.R. 4321), would expand e-Verify, the electronic

verification system currently used for federal employees, to all American workers. While a

national e-Verify system is not without risk to privacy and security, the degree of risk is

contained by virtue of the fact that e-Verify relies on neither biometric fingerprinting nor an

identification card.

At the request of the National Security and Human Rights Campaign, the Center for Democracy

and Technology (CDT), one of the campaign’s grantees, has been reaching out to a number of

economists to determine what efforts are underway to study of the costs of a national biometric

identification card system. Last week, CDT was told on a confidential basis by a reliable source

in the Department of Homeland Security that the Office of Management and Budget has

completed a study that estimates the cost of implementing a national biometric identification

system at a staggering $1 trillion. CDT was told that the White House does not intend to make

this study public, but CDT expressed hope that the Administration would change its mind should

it become strategic to release the study. It should be noted that the OMB study was a “quick and

dirty” cost estimate, and not a fully developed cost-benefit analysis that comprehensively

2

Confidentially, our understanding is that the Administration is privately voicing objections to the

biometric proposal to key members of Congress, citing its enormous cost, as well as the controversy and

delay it would likely generate.

evaluates and weighs the security threats posed by risk of breach, attack, and insider abuse and

misuse of information collected by the system, the cost of mitigating these threats, the potential

benefits of the system such as an improved ability to enforce immigration laws in the workplace,

and plausible alternatives such as the expanded e-Verify system per the CIR ASAP bill or a

hardened Social Security card or drivers license.

We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as warranted. We would also be

happy to answer any questions that you that might have.

I wonder if there is a connection between the topic you are discussing and the insane US/NATO support for the neo Nazi torture regime in Ukraine and vilifying Russia constantly. Gen Breedlove is buddies with Nuland about Ukraine, and he’s pushing for or actually accomplishing, more arms to the Nazis in Ukraine. AND he was also hacked, according to DC Leaks.

It’s has occurred to me that all this hacking may be coordinated. Could possibly be done by one group who are using multiple outlets to release it.
Lots of exposing secrets a few would like to keep quiet in order to keep their power.
