A non-profit group controlled by billionaire financier George Soros set out to conduct opposition research on a handful of critics of radical Islam, a newly released internal memo shows.
The 2011 document, entitled “Extreme Polarization and Breakdown in Civil Discourse,” is one of more than 2,500 files stolen from Soros’ Open Society Foundations and published online on Saturday.
It names prominent critics of radical Islam, such as Pamela Geller, Frank Gaffney, and Robert Spencer as targets for opposition researchers working on a project operated by the Center for American Progress (CAP), a liberal think tank that has received millions of dollars in grants from Soros’ groups.
In the memo, Open Society Foundations (OSF) executives lamented that progressive groups and members of the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian-American (AMEMSA) community lacked “high quality opposition research” to combat “anti-Muslim xenophobia and to promote tolerance.”
To close that gap, OSF sought to provide a $200,000 grant to CAP, which was founded in 2003 by Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta. (RELATED: Soros Groups Get Hacked, Hundreds Of Documents Leaked)
The CAP project, called the Examining Anti-Muslim Bigotry Project, set out to engage progressives and journalists to raise awareness about the critics of radical Islam. In addition to Geller, Gaffney and Spencer, CAP planned to “research and track” the activities of David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes, Cliff May and Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
“CAP’s first step will be to interview and engage journalists, researchers, academics, and leaders in the anti-hate movement who are researching and writing on Islamophobia, and to develop a roster of knowledgeable and credible experts to whom journalists and policymakers can turn for information,” it continues.
OSF did fund CAP’s project. Its 2011 tax filings show that it gave CAP the $200,000 grant as well as two others totaling $500,000.
According to the OSF document, which was published on a new website called DCLeaks, CAP would also explore the interactions of groups of conservative think tanks, pundits and politicians which were part of the so-called Islamophobia movement.
“We need a clearer understanding of what by all indications is a well orchestrated and well financed system by which right-wing think tanks, pundits, and politicians are able to introduce false narratives and flawed research into the media cycle and use their misinformation to manipulate public opinion and thwart progressive counterterrorism policies,” the memo states.
“Just as critically, CAP will approach its work with an appreciation of the connections between the Islamophobia movement and related forms of xenophobia.”
Soros is a traitor to the Republic and deserves to be in prison.
Bkmrk.
Still the kapo.
Remember this next time the government is talking about a billion dollars like it's nothing.

Psalm 58....
“1. [A Psalm] of David.
2Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company?
Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
3Yea, in heart ye work wickedness;
Ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
4The wicked are estranged from the womb;
The speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
5Their venom is like the venom of a serpent;
They are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
6Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers,
Or of the most cunning binder of spells.
7Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth;
Break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
8Let them melt away as water that runneth apace;
When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
9Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away;
Like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
10Before your pots can feel the thorns,
He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
11The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance;
He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
12And men shall say: ‘Verily there is a reward for the righteous;
Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.”
Soros has pissed off a lot of countries. I’m surprised one of the secret intelligence services hasn’t taken him out.
Interesting to see Soros, the king of evil, get hacked. Too bad people didn’t turn on him sooner.
Robert Spencer is an American hero.
Garr.
This man has practically single-handedly destroyed Europe with USA in close striking distance!
Thugs are big on surveillance... does Soros fund the Southern Poverty Law Center? Or is that done with 'speeches' given in the UAE...
