George Soros: The Man and His Empire
ICYMI - Soros’s Open Society vision is on the ropes...

He’s the universal symbol of progressive tyranny, the image of Davos despotism. He’s the immigrant who broke the Bank of England and the hedge fund master who plundered Wall Street.
He’s a globe-trotting globalist active in dozens of countries, yet loyal to none.
He’s the embodiment of philanthropy’s decay from its biblical pedigree into cultural Marxism.
He’s a narcissist out to remake the world in his own cynical image.
To those familiar with his “open society” ideology, he’s a menace bent on killing the West.
For millions across the world, George Soros is simply the face of evil.
But much of the notorious mega-donor’s life and legacy is complicated and hazy.
Even at 94, Soros wields enormous influence over the institutional Left — the armada of activist, lobbying, policy, and litigation groups that really run the modern Democratic Party — something he aims to pass on to his 39-year-old playboy son and heir, Alexander, who took control of his father’s hedge fund and foundations less than 2 years ago.
This writer began reporting on George Soros’s dark money spigot at its zenith in the early Trump years, when it seemed money could buy anything in Washington.
Fast forward to 2025, and Soros’s open society vision is itself on the ropes — and that’s stunning.
For decades, Soros shaped the Left into the emerging totalitarian force Americans roundly rejected in November 2024.
Billions of his dark money dollars launched Washington’s professional activist class from the fringe to the heart of the Democratic establishment.
Now, however, even Democratic strategists are complaining that the party takes too many directives from the woketariat: the “college-educated elites” guilty of “placing a hard ceiling on Democrats’ appeal and fatally wounding them in the places they need to win,” as one operative groused after Election Day.
