The U.S. government has quietly spent millions of taxpayer dollars to destabilize the democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia by colluding with leftwing billionaire philanthropist George Soros, records obtained by Judicial Watch show. Barack Obama’s U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia, Jess L. Baily, has worked behind the scenes with Soros’ Open Society Foundation to funnel large sums of American dollars for the cause, constituting an interference of the U.S. Ambassador in domestic political affairs in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
The cash flows through the State Department and the famously corrupt U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID), which is charged with providing global economic, development and humanitarian assistance. USAID has allocated about $5 million to leftwing Soros groups in Macedonia since 2012, documents show, and at least $9.5 million has been earmarked by the agency to intervene in the Balkan nation’s governmental affairs for 2016-2011. State Department figures have been tougher to come by and Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the numbers. Judicial Watch also fired off a public records request to USAID because the preliminary figures, obtained through various sources in both the U.S. and Macedonia, appear to be incomplete.
Here’s how the clandestine operation functions, according to high-level sources in Macedonia and the U.S. that have provided Judicial Watch with records as part of an ongoing investigation. The Open Society Foundation has established and funded dozens of leftwing, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Macedonia to overthrow the conservative government. One Macedonian government official interviewed by Judicial Watch in Washington D.C. recently, calls it the “Soros infantry.” The groups organize youth movements, create influential media outlets and organize violent protests to undermine the institutions and policies implemented by the government. One of the Soros’ groups funded the translation and publication of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” into Macedonian. The book is a tactical manual of subversion, provides direct advice for radical street protests and proclaims Lucifer to be the first radical. Thanks to Obama’s ambassador, who has not been replaced by President Trump, Uncle Sam keeps the money flowing so the groups can continue operating and recruiting, sources in Macedonia and the U.S. confirm.
With a population of about 2 million, Macedonia has one of the more conservative governments in Europe. This includes the lowest flat tax in Europe, close ties with Israel and pro-life policies. The country recently built a border fence to crackdown on an illegal immigration crisis that overwhelmed law enforcement agencies. Between 10,000 and 12,000 illegal aliens were crossing the Greek-Macedonian border daily at the peak of the European migration crisis, a Macedonian official told Judicial Watch, and the impact was devastating. This is likely of big interest to Soros, a renowned open borders advocate who pushes international governance, diminished U.S. global power and an increase in Muslim immigration. Soros spent tens of millions of dollars to support Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Just this month Hungary’s prime minister lashed out against Soros for funding groups to secretly influence the country’s politics. “Large-bodied predators are swimming here in the waters,” said Viktor Orban in his annual state of the nation speech. “This is the trans-border empire of George Soros, with tons of money and international heavy artillery.”
This appears to be the case in Macedonia with the help of American financing. There have been a number of violent protests in recent months that have been coordinated by Soros’ Open Society Foundation through its U.S.-funded NGOs, sources tell Judicial Watch. Some U.S. members of Congress have expressed interest in the issue and have demanded answers from Ambassador Baily, USAID and the State Department. In typical fashion, the State Department has stonewalled the inquiries and USAID hasn’t been much more forthcoming. Last month Utah Senator Mike Lee sent Ambassador Baily a letter asking questions involving the U.S. Mission to Macedonia’s involvement in the political process and its connections to the Open Society Foundation. It’s unlikely that Americans will receive answers, especially since Baily is probably on his way out. The fact remains however, that millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have already been spent on this illicit operation and the government agencies need to be held accountable.
This beyond disgusts me. It’s time we define the leftist coup that has been going on, against our Constitutional Republic, since the early 1900’s. From the creation of the Federal Reserve, the 16th Amendment, much of the New Deal, the judicial tyranny, to the more recent War on Poverty.
The War on Poverty in the 60’s wasn’t to cure this nation of poverty, as statistics point out it’s much worse today. The War on Poverty was more like the War on this Constitutional Republic. It and out-of-control tax and spending by politicians pimping the nation’s treasury for votes, helped lead to the massive big government and the massive debt that has come along with it. This whole failure of the left is un-Constitutional but they want to continue down this path.
This is Cloward-Piven right before our eyes. It’s all about taking down our Constitutional Republic. We need to define this war against the freedom-loving Americans and start going after those who joined this movement and prosecute them for their war crimes. George Soros should be at the top of the list and all those he supported. This angry American is ready to see this coup/war against America defined and stopped to help preserve our liberties and freedoms.

This really bothers me because we used to be a different nation where as we promoted freedom and liberty around the world. Our nation was the bright light of freedom and liberty.
Now, we have traitors inside and outside of government, protected by our media, who are doing the exact opposite. We have someone like Soros, who is using our tax dollars to try to destroy freedom and liberty in other nations. It’s the same thing he is attempting here.
What disgusts me is these stupid Americans that fail to see how he, and others, are doing to undermine their freedoms. They are just as traitorous if they fail to see it because of their arrogance. I can only hope and pray, President Trump is not too late to make a difference. MAGA!

Obama should be investigated. Time to see what Soros knows about it. Fight to expose Obama corruption and lock them all up...
USGov has become so large, no one can keep it on the right path. Free flow of our tax money and debt to so much evil; so much confusion; beyond too much DC power...
And the Dims want you to think only Russia interferes
Like I said earlier today - nothing is ever going to surprise me again. Can this be the beginning of the end of Soros? Sure hope President Trump is onto this and the ambassador is on the next plane out of Macedonia - wherever the heck that is. I didn’t even know it existed anymore until a story a few weeks back about them not welcoming refugees into their country.
What we do know about everything that has happened in the past 28 years is so downright disgusting - can you imagine how rotten everything is that we don’t know?
That ambassador is a career foreign service officer - doesn’t appear to have ever worked in a non-government job. Kind of unusual as ambassadors are usually appointed as a “thank you” for their campaign donations or close friends of a president. Clear out a jail cell for both him and Soros....Enough of this scoundrel Soros is enough - do the world a favor and get rid of him!!

“”A career member of the Senior Foreign Service with the rank of Minister-Counselor, Mr. Baily joined the Foreign Service in 1985 and has served in public affairs positions in Bangladesh, Senegal, Thailand, Turkey, and the Netherlands. From 2007 to 2008, he was in Erbil, Iraq as the senior U.S. government civilian representative in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. In Washington, he directed the State Department’s Foreign Press Center from 2005-2007 and coordinated U.S. policy on political issues before the UN Security Council and UN General Assembly as Director of the Office of UN Political Affairs from 2008 to 2010.””
FYI. I hope Trump’s people know this.
Soros is an anti-Israel antisemitic Arrow Cross Member. The NWO and UN spend more time attacking Israel than any other nation. The CIA has spent 20 years arming and training the PLO/PLA to kill Jews. Find a rational conspiracy
