WASHINGTON (JTA) – Right-wing conspiracy theorists are increasingly claiming that George Soros is funding recent protests and riots across the United States in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, “aggressive language towards Soros has exploded on social media” this week. Negative tweets about the billionaire Jewish philanthropist rose from 20,000 per day on May 26 to 500,000 per day on May 30.
The posts, according to the ADL, mostly allege (without evidence) that Soros is funding riots across the country, and that he is backing Antifa, a loose network of anti-fascist activists whom President Donald Trump has blamed for the violence, also without citing evidence.
The ADL says that the Soros theories “can serve as a gateway to the antisemitic subculture that blames Jews for the riots.”
People posting about Soros include prominent Trump supporters like Twitter pundit Candace Owens and actor James Woods.

#Antifa is merely a pawn in the plan engineered by Soros and the Deep State. The Obama/Ayers/Alinsky/Cloward-Piven/Clinton strategy has always been to provoke, destabilize, and then rebuild a “socialist nirvana” from the ashes. Stay calm, be prepared, but don’t take the bait.
Soros, a Hungarian-born financier who funds a variety of liberal causes in the United States and globally, is a favorite bogeyman of the right and conspiracy theorists in particular. Recent Soros conspiracies have alleged that he is driving the spread of COVID-19 in order to profit from a future vaccine and that he pays left-wing protesters.
Trump tweeted in 2018 that Soros paid protesters opposed to Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban also put up a billboard campaign in 2017 opposing Soros that was criticized as anti-Semitic.

The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don’t fall for it! Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs. Paid for by Soros and others. These are not signs made in the basement from love! #Troublemakers
Radical groups who fund leftist radical movements, universities, and such , admitted themselves that they receive Soros money, so it’ts not just a CLAIM. JStreet is one of them. They confessed openly about it and boast that they in turn send money to Democrat candidates and sitting Congresspeople to oppose Israel.
Soros has funded radicalism in Europe and that too is no secret.
FBI should arrest him in a night raid and confiscate his computer and files.
He’s a grave danger to civilization and to Jews.
If you look at the organizations that Soros and his foundations fund you will find many radical left-wing groups (including anti-Israel and anti-Semitic groups).
Here are just a few: Human Rights Watch: This group directs a disproportionate share of its criticism at the United States and Israel.
I’lam: This anti-Israel NGO seeks “to develop and empower the Arab media and to give voice to Palestinian issues.”
Independent Media Institute: IMI administers the SPIN Project (Strategic Press Information Network), which provides leftist organizations with “accessible and affordable strategic communications consulting, training, coaching, networking opportunities and concrete tools” to help them “achieve their social justice goals.”
It’s a fact that the evil Soros donated about $40 Million to Black Lives Murder.
Nigel Innis of the Congress of Racial Equality, alleged on Fox News two nights ago, that Soros was responsible (without offering any proof). Also, that phony stated that “Soros should have been deported a long time ago”.
Soros is a meshumad who openly stated that he was proud having co-operated with the Nazis in their war to destroy the Jews of Hungary. He is a despicable shtick tinif.
Deported?
That’s too mild a word.
Look at this :EVIDENCE
Evidence they want all of a sudden.
Our president has been abused and impeached without a shred of evidence, but that’s ok. Put this country thru heck for nothing.
But for the kapo Soros, they want evidence.
You guys see their playbook ??
Right. Let’s see Schiff’s proof while we’re at it. What we DO see is are the empty gallons of Pelosi’s 120 PROOF vodka.
