E-mails reveal how Soros controls U.S. prosecutors

A blockbuster analysis details how billionaire Democrat mega-donor George Soros and his son Alex use an army of prosecutors across the country to push their radical, lawless policies on American communities. 

The details: The Media Research Center (MRC) used public records request to obtain nearly 7,800 pages of internal communications from Soros-backed prosecutors.

Back up: Soros has spent at least $117 million since 2016 to get radical District Attorneys elected across the country. 30% of Americans now live under a Soros prosecutor. 

  • This includes New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg who brought charges against Donald Trump in Manhattan. 

What are in the emails? They reveal how a Soros-funded group called Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) directs the prosecutors to “manipulate the rule of law concerning illegal immigration, drugs, abortion, election integrity, capital punishment and laws against childhood sex changes.”

  • FJP has had its prosecutors sign 33 different pledges not to enforce certain laws and attend 50 meetings to coordinate how they would (not) enforce the law.

One example cited by MRC details how at one of these meetings, FJP consultants told prosecutors not to prosecute property crimes and frame it as “reprioritizing resources.”

Big picture: We’ve always known Soros uses his influence over prosecutors to destabilize our communities. This report gives us a clearer picture of how it’s carried out.

Harris deceives voters with manipulated news headlines

Kamala Harris' campaign was caught manipulating news headlines and paying to promote the altered stories as search advertisements on Google.

How do Google Search ads work? They appear at the top of the page when someone searches for specific keywords related to the advertiser's ad.

The details: Since August 3, the Harris campaign has created dozens of these search ads, with headlines that look like they come from CNN, CBS News, NPR, USA Today, and many others.

  • The ads link to real articles from the news outlets, but the headlines are manipulated to appear as endorsements of Harris and her policies.

Cut to the chase: They want to trick voters into thinking these ads are real headlines. They have “sponsorship” labels but they’re easy to miss.

One example: A manipulated headline from The Independent reads: "VP Harris Protects Democracy - Trump Defends Jan 6 Comments” and the article description reads: "Kamala Harris will protect voting rights for all Americans."

  • Another reads: “Harris Will Lower Health Costs” and the article description reads: “Kamala Harris will lower the cost of high-quality affordable health care.”

Is Trump running these shady ads? No. Google's ad transparency center confirms this.

Is this allowed? Google's terms of service do allow these types of ads to run on their platform and argue that because it says “Sponsored” that they’re easily distinguished from real results.

Big picture: Google is the same platform that was caught suppressing searches about Donald Trump’s attempted assassination just two weeks ago. Make no mistake - if the Trump campaign ran similar ads, they would find a problem with them.
