George Soros funds Ferguson protests to the tune of $33M?? Is this for real?

Been scratchin' my head thinking of the most appropriate forum for this. Hope this is the right one.
George Soros funds Ferguson protests, hopes to spur civil action

Now during the Ferguson protests, demonstrations, and later the riots, I recall a number of times from a number of reporting sources that there were many 'out of towners', non-local people participating in the Ferguson protests, demonstrations, and later the riots. Seems that if this story is true (I mean, isn't the Washington Times supposed to be a reasonable source?), this would certainly explain why and how these non-local protestors, demonstrators, and rioters could afford to camp out in Ferguson for months on end, right?

So first, I'm looking I anyone has come across a confirming source other than a quoting and referring of the Washington Times piece.

Second, since Soros so heavily funded these non-local protestors, demonstrators, and rioters, is he legally liable for the injuries and damages in some form? After all, his spending his money to pay for the mob that was there pretty much caused the fires and looting, right? (Well, OK, maybe not).

Lastly, what do you think? If Soros is not legally liable, what about the possibly questionable morality of causing, directly or indirectly, the injuries, damages, fires, and police overtime?

The first thing that I noticed in the article is that it states that Soros has given money to groups that were involved, which is a far cry from "funding the demonstrations". I think it's just a beat up Soros article that has no merit.
 
Communists funded by a Nazi. What a combination.

I have to admit that I had doubts about it too, as I couldn't find a corroborating source that didn't refer to that article.

Is Soros heavily funding left, and ultra left organizations? Absolutely.

Were some of these organizations at the Ferguson demonstrations? Yeah, I think so.

At best an indirect connection. Would these organizations been at Ferguson inciting all that conflict, looting and destruction? Again, seems rather likely.

This guy's a real POS vile and evil Machiavellian. Destroying currencies and middle class incomes as he wages his economic wars, did this to 2 currencies and 2 countries BTW. I always thought that the left was on the side of the middle class? The Koch bothers can't hold a candle this.

So why are they supporting and protecting Soros? Makes no sense to me.

No I don't think so... You stated:



I'd like you to either provide evidence of that statement or retract it. Can you back up that statement with evidence and math or was that just an overzealous statement?

You converted "every single penny" into "not a single penny."

Hope this helps.

Oh I see it. So how many pennies did they take into Ferguson then?

Couldn't say. Given the timeframe involved I'd wager "not a large percentage."

But have fun with the right wing's favorite bogeyman.

It may be that some were there. That of course does not mean as well that destructive parties and Soros were connected. I think it's just a Mooney hit piece.

Part of it would have to be that they would have to be honest and say we were right about this goofball billionaire, and the other is that they hope he is successful....As for the Koch's, they really have nothing to do with this. Part of our problem today IMHO, is that we are constantly caught in the loop of "well, they did it too"....Not here brother.....

Given that he has such a stellar record of NOT deflating currencies and NOT damaging the buying power for large segments of populations, right?

The guy is an evil POS, pushing a bad agenda, but many don't see it, or refuse to see it.

Ya'know; I cant say that. The left as you call it, has no money to speak of, in the same way that the right has industry, banking and people like the Koch Brother et al who are not only financing but controlling the country's agenda. I would also venture to say that the anarchist destructive forces that show at these left-wing demonstrations have nothing to do with leftist Democratic agendas and more to do with strictly vandalisms: an argument could be made I'm sure that such anarchists are supported through right-wing black funds aimed at destabilizing any efforts from the left to bring changes in our relationships with authority... A lot of the destructive power in Ferguson was locals looting and just plain taking advantage of a situation; which of course only worsens that situation.

Yeah, I don't think Soros is the pilot that you think he is, moreover, I believe that it is his background and direct experiences with a real right-wing that motivate him. For that I applaud his efforts.

You have absolutely zero to base that remark on.

So they weren't activists in 2011 so it doesn't count? I didn't know there was a statute of limitations to monetary donations. Good to know.

So he donated fund to charities and organisations who several years later protested at Ferguson. The implication in the OP that somehow Soros is partially responsible for the Ferguson riots is bull****.

Without Soros backing financially, would these groups have been able to be around and active? Or would they have died out in favor of other ones?
 
Ockham said:
So giving to already established groups doesn't count.... I guess it only counts if NEW groups were involved but since it's existing groups, psssh... doesn't count, and besides they "might have" supported the protests, so plausible deniability. Sweet deal.

Did he give them money before or after? It seems to me that if he gave money to these groups long before the protests he didn't exactly find the protest.

Just admit that you was Soros and Ferguson in a headline and got a little woody.

Is the video fake?

The way the video is portrayed is fake. If you know what Soros was doing at that time and how The New Gernmay was effecting the populace, then it's easy to understand ow a 14 year old bot could say, "it was the happiest time of my life". But when you have actual knowledge of what was really going down then, it's even easier to know what Soros meant when he said " you had no idea that it could effect you"... The "IT" was what was going down.

So, yeah, the video is fake.

And you expect any sane person to agree that Glenn Beck is proof.

Right.

Show me the real credible proof or admit that you can't.
