Soros foundation gave $80M to groups tied to 'extremist violence'

 A recent report by the Capital Research Center highlights how billionaire George Soros may be funding extremist groups in the U. S., coinciding with President Donald Trump's classification of Antifa as a domestic terror organization.

• Soros's Open Society Foundations has reportedly given over $80 million to groups linked to terrorism or extremist violence.

• Approximately $23 million of this funding has been directed to seven U. S. organizations that reportedly assist in activities defined as domestic terrorism, including violence and property destruction.

• The report indicates a connection between domestic and international terrorism, specifically mentioning support for Hamas and communist factions.

• The Sunrise Movement, which received at least $2 million from Open Society, has endorsed groups linked to Antifa, such as the Stop Cop City campaign, facing numerous charges for domestic terrorism.

• The report claims the Sunrise Movement has encouraged donations to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, which provides bail and legal assistance for arrested protestors and potentially supplies for violent activities.

• Open Society has given $400,000 since 2020 to groups like the Center for Third World Organizing and Ruckus Society, which trained activists during the violent 2020 riots.

• The Ruckus Society is accused of promoting illegal tactics against law enforcement through its training materials.

• The study also mentions the BlackOUT Collective, which has published pro-Hamas materials and endorses actions qualifying as domestic terrorism.

• The report raises concerns over Open Society's tax-exempt status due to its funding of groups that admit to illegal activities.

The report comes at a time of increasing left-wing violence in the U. S., with multiple attacks on law enforcement and facilities. President Trump has suggested the possibility of pursuing RICO charges against organizations providing financial support for such violent actions.
