How To Stop The Soros-funded Violence

You don't get access. It is a closed society.
Well, the obvious difference is I do not give money to the government voluntarily but as a result of state coercion.
Soros chooses where to send his money. Using third party groups is just a transparent attempt to add a layer of deniability and of course, you immediately fall for it.
Has he denounced any of it? Has he said " This is not why I funded you." Is it a one time anomaly or is it a pattern, both here and in Europe?
Of course he reviews the benefactors of his open society foundation, but he maintains an arms length distance, for the most part, as others are in charge of the day to day operations. Sometimes groups that they sponsor do not pan out as they had hoped; do things that were not anticipated, and they wouldn't have approved of had they known in advance what was going to happen. Surely you realize that Soros is not there writing checks in day to day contact with all of the movements and groups of people the Foundation has attempted to assist. This is one of the things I admire about Soros the most. He is willing to trust others to do the right thing. If they screw up badly, depending on the circumstances, they may get their funding jerked, but the the foundation does not expect perfection, and part of being an open society is not dictating to people how they should manage their lives. When there are hundreds of millions or billions involved, an organization has to have levels of competence, and you can not expect that one person is going to know every detail of every moment. I know you are smart enough to realize that. This is not just some little pet project of Soros; a rinky dink operation where he personally has to approve of everything.
The reason I know so much detail about the Open Society Foundation is that I have read from cover to cover "
The Philanthropy of George Soros: Building Open Societies'" by Sudetic. A very interesting book. Also there is available:
Building Open Societies Soros Foundations Network 1997 Report.
I doubt if you would want to take the time to read this stuff. But let me give you some solid advice. Don't go around bad mouthing something you know little about. If you're only getting your information from these forums or from You Tube, Breitbart and sources like that, then you essentially know nothing about George Soros's philanthropic activities. Once you're informed, then your opinion counts for something.

Yes he has, of course, but you are not likely to read that on Breitbart. If you read the Sudetic book on the Open Society Foundation activities, you will discover a number of instances where the result was not what Soros would have wanted, and said so.
In other words you'd be a freeloader if you could get away with it.
Wow... I'm not even right wing any more... just flat out fringe group lol
That's what we need in a highly complex world full of big state actors, a teeny tiny government. We'd fly under the radar, no other country would even notice us or want our stuff!
