TEL AVIV — Eastern European leaders have “drawn inspiration” from conservative U.S. media outlets, especially Breitbart News, to crack down on groups financed by billionaire George Soros that are allegedly attempting to meddle in domestic politics, Reuters reported. The news agency reported on Thursday:
The campaign against Soros in countries formerly dominated by Moscow appears to follow a template set by Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose own crackdown on foreign-funded charities drove Soros’s foundation out of Russia two years ago.
And now, with President Donald Trump in the White House, anti-Soros campaigners in Eastern Europe say they have also drawn inspiration from the United States, particularly from rightwing U.S. media like the website Breitbart, which has long vilified Soros as a liberal hate figure.
Breitbart’s former chairman Steve Bannon now serves as a senior White House adviser to Trump.
“Our inspiration comes from the United States, from the American conservative organizations, media and congressmen with the same views, especially the new administration of President Trump,” said Cvetlin Cilimanov, the editor of the main state news agency in Macedonia, who co-founded a group called Operation Stop Soros in January.
Reuters quoted anti-Soros campaigners in Macedonia, Romania, and Hungary accusing Soros of using his Open Society Foundations to create a vast web of front groups that push a globalist agenda.

Why doesn’t Breitbart merge with One America News Now and become a cable news channel? Better yet, they can livestream on Roku. I’d gladly pay a monthly subscription.

About time!
Is that the Russian “connection” that irritates liberals?
Call me when the extradite him to Russia
The guy has so many foundations set up nationally and internationally, I’m not convinced his work wouldn’t March right on without him.
Honestly, I’d like to see him convicted of sedition or some such, and see all of his assets and entities seized.
90% of the current Leftist strife would cease. This would also put other entities like the Ford Foundation on notice.
These anti-American foundations have had a field day trying to destroy our nation for decades. Enough already...
I’m also wondering if he couldn’t be charged with something related to conducting something like foreign policy, a violation of usurping a government mandate.
He funded the Muslim Brotherhood in Tunisia and Libya. I’m pretty sure he did similar things in about ten other nations in the Middle East.
I think that sort of thing is prohibited by law. It’s tantamount to acting as the Secretary of State, executing a foreign policy as a private citizen.
This is something I had hoped Sessions would focus on.

Soros is a foreign hostile power. Let the military take out his children and the corrupt boss man himself. Show no mercy. Swift.
The platform would demand and get censorship & conformity to cable’s low standards.
How many conservative cable channels exist??
Virtually zero.
