Art of Deception: The Soros Empire Gaslights on Connection to USAID Funding

New MRC revelations that George Soros’s own global university that he founded was getting American tax dollars completely fly in the face of his organization’s attempts to dismiss any perceived connections with the disgraced U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

“The claims that the Open Society Foundations (OSF), founded by George Soros, receive funding from USAID or direct the funding of a multibillion-dollar U.S. government agency are manifestly false,” railed OSF in a February 12 press release.

OSF attempted to play the victim, and pontificated that reporting connecting USAID and the OSF apparatus are “part of a broader effort to undermine international development work and delegitimize the independent funding of civil society organizations worldwide.”

“Independent funding?” What a joke. MRC Business revealed February 28 that Central European University, an anti-American academic behemoth that Soros founded and sits as “honorary chair,” was granted at least $1 million from President Joe Biden’s USAID for the period September FY2021 through September FY2025. So far, $238,609 of the total obligated grant was outlayed, which means CEU is still set to receive tax dollars to complete the grant this year. Soros’s son Alex, who now runs OSF as chairman, also sits on CEU’s Board of Trustees, which is telling, since they're trying to imply you can't connect dots from USAID to CEU and CEU to OSF.
