George Soros and the Open Society Foundations – The Capillary System. Everyone says Soros this, Soros that. But how do they actually operate? Most of the organizations we have described operate at the elite level – the meeting in Davos, the seminar and the committee in Brussels. The Open Society Foundations are different. They operate at every level simultaneously – from the supranational to the local, from the think tank to the street activist, from the Supreme Court brief to the district attorney election. The most complete political funding infrastructure ever built by a private individual. Follow the money – most of it is hiding in plain sight. Soros made his fortune speculating on national currencies – most famously breaking the British Pound in 1992. He used the proceeds to fund institutions that argue against national sovereignties, helping him make such operations. This is not irony. It is a business model. An arbitrage. 1. The mechanism is simple and almost elegant. You create a nicely named organization – an institute for open society, a foundation for democratic media, a center for justice reform. You seed it with ten million dollars of private money, enough to hire staff, produce reports, and establish credibility. Then, through the network of associates and ideologically aligned officials that decades of funding have placed inside governments and supranational bodies, you ensure that this private organization receives hundreds of millions in public funding – EU grants, USAID contracts, government subsidies. The private money creates the platform. The public hundreds of millions buy the reach. The taxpayer funds the project. The project serves the agenda. A nice arbitrage again. 2. Let’s imagine in every country a main foundation operating as a buzzing corporate office — a headquarters — populated with people who know the agenda best and understand how it connects to the global program. Everyone comes there for instructions. Every smaller organization in the country — the migration NGO, the media fund, the arts prize committee — knows where to come for orientation, for funding, for the framing of the next campaign. It looks like a civil society hub. The people inside it may believe they are doing good. The architecture ensures that doing good means advancing the agenda. 3. The network controls the full loop. The think tank produces the paper. The advocacy group runs the campaign. The legal organization takes it to court. The media organization covers it favorably. The fact-checker delegitimizes the opposition. Each may look independent; the funding architecture connects them. The public annual reports list the grants and recipients. The architecture is not hidden. It is simply too layered for most people to read clearly. 4. The cultural layer is the most insidious. The network funds literary prizes that go to authors advancing the agenda. They fund film festivals, journalism awards, university chairs. None of this requires explicit editorial control. You don’t tell the prize committee who to select. You fund the prize committee. Over time the selection reflects the values of the funder. 5. In America, Soros-backed political groups have funded progressive prosecutors and district-attorney campaigns. The money is visible in campaign-finance records; the resulting policies are visible in the cities where they were implemented. 6. In Europe, the same architecture appears around migration: advocacy organizations, legal challenges, NGOs, political lobbying, and media narratives. The different pieces reinforce one another. One source. Every layer. Taxpayer money amplifying private money at every stage. 7. That is the capillary system: an ideological project reaching from elite institutions down into everyday life. The activist, journalist, lawyer, academic, official, and politician do not need to know one another or consciously share a master plan. Networks, institutions, and funding create the coordination.
