George Soros’ Spending Power
On Saturday, Delve CEO Jeff Berkowitz joined KVOR 740 AM’s (Colorado Springs, CO) Jeff Crank to discuss the recent yet underreported document leak that reveals how billionaire George Soros uses his money to influence U.S. and European elections, fund smear campaigns against ideological opponents, pressure the Obama administration to alter their foreign policy, support anti-Israel propaganda, and even attempt to sway the U.S. Supreme Court.
Crank invited Berkowitz to join him on the show after our analysis from last week’s TL;DR on the Soros document dump caught his eye. TL;DR is Delve’s weekly take on under-the-radar stories and issues we think are worthy of your attention, along with the facts you need to engage on the key issues driving current policy and political debates.
Here is some of the analysis Berkowitz shared during the interview:

“[Soros] funded efforts to pressure the Obama Administration to increase the number of refugees that we took in this year up to 100,000, which is about 10 times what the administration had initially decided to take on. Given the concerns we’ve already seen raised against the vetting processes of those refugees both here and in Europe, that’s a grave concern to anyone concerned about the security of the country…”
“…[Soros’] financial interests and his ideological interests are very much aligned. He benefits from what I like to call political arbitrage. He looks at where there is going to be unrest, or disruptions, or economic downturns, and bets against those countries and gets a big windfall. He uses it to push his view of what he calls an open society, which is actually a very closed society…”
“…I would ultimately classify [Soros] as an oligarch: he believes that he knows better than most people, that most people need the state to take care of themselves, and the state should listen to people like him who understand all of the complexities of the world. An oligarch who believes in a fairly socialist state.”

As we noted in last week’s TL;DR, “Those involved in business and advocacy would benefit from looking at this story to see just how well-funded, large-scale operations seeking to influence an agenda are able to organize seemingly disconnected activists and groups through manipulation and funding. Learning about their strategies and tactics can better inform your own strategies and tactics.”
