Harris Wins Soros Backing While Other Billionaire Donors Want an Open Contest

[Pommer]

​

"Clinton first met Alinsky when she was at Wellesley working on her 1969 thesis on his controversial theories on community organizing, many of which were outlined in his 1946 handbook, "Reveille for Radicals."

In the book, Alinsky encouraged community organizers to "fan the latent hostilities" of low-income, inner city residents and "search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them." His 1971 book, "Rules for Radicals," published a year before his death, expanded on that theme. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it," Alinsky wrote.

“Dear Saul,” Clinton wrote in the 1971 letter. "When is that new book [Rules for Radicals] coming out — or has it come and I somehow missed the fulfillment of Revelation? I have just had my one-thousandth conversation about Reveille and need some new material to throw at people."

She thanked Alinsky for the advice he gave her about campus organizing.

“If I never thanked you for the encouraging words of last spring in the midst of the Yale-Cambodia madness, I do so now,” Clinton wrote.

According to Clinton's 2004 memoir, "Living History," Alinsky had offered her a job after her graduation from Wellesley, but she turned him down.

Yep. Hillary was a BIG fan of Alinsky and did her senior thesis on his book. Read Hillary Clinton's 1971 letter to Saul Alinsky

A poster looks forward to Bill Gates entering the thread as this seems to becoming the thread of “boogeymen of the right-wing” coming to get your children!

George Soros (and his son Alex) are very mysterious individuals

while they are capitalist, in the sense they run hedge funds, engage in market economics, they have pushed

1. Mass migration and open borders
2. Far-left prosecutors, DAs, etc., who put criminals back on the street (Kim Foxx is an example)
3. Green energy initiatives that primarily benefit authoritarian states like China and the DRC
4. Set up a political activist group / foundation that helped overthrow the Ukrainian government

He is a destabilizing force in geopolitics, and I have log suspected that he is not driven by ideology or principles, but rather for personal gain.

When countries go into chaos and their currency falls, Soros jumps in to take short positions on the country's currency and securities. He has done this with numerous nations, including the UK. The result is to make the crisis worse, leading to millions of people losing their jobs and going into poverty

Soros is smart enough to understand that when you dump millions of semi-literate, or illiterate migrants into a western nation, who do not believe in democracy, women's rights, or freedom of religion; chaos and violence will be the result. We see countless examples of this almost every day, including the Rwandan migrant who stabbed 3 children to death and wounded 8 others in the UK

Soros seems to want chaos and disorder so he can profit from it ultimately (he plays a long game)

or he is just a really confused individual who lacks self-awareness.

Whatever that is supposed to mean.... In reality, I added facts with sourced links about Hillary Clinton and her interests since someone mentioned it.

There isn’t a clan of The Left, (you know), all colluding together to bring about the downfall of America, eager to bathe in the ashes of our once mighty Nation, but only factions and shared-interests vying with one another and scheming their plots to get a wee bit closer to the immortality that forever ebbs away from them.

"Elon Musk is a hero for free speech", we all know what was going on at Twitter before Musk, it was operation Stop Trump and conservatives through censorship

Now the world has Truth Social and X, and Elon Musk emptied the trash can at Twitter

He a hero for letting people lie and cause hate on Twitters.

Sounds like CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times

You said on post 63: "A poster looks forward to Bill Gates entering the thread as this seems to becoming the thread of “boogeymen of the right-wing” coming to get your children!"

That makes zero sense.

This post you just added also makes zero sense. Just say what you are saying without all the odd language.

The whole thread is just about how some of the wealthy people on the left are spending their (own) money “wrong”, by promoting Harris.
George Soros has long been active in placing his money at the disposal of people/organizations that he agrees with; (and I am sure we can safely assume that he withhold his money from people/organizations that he’s not in agreement with).

All of this is part of a normally functioning body politic.

Yes, even the complaints that he’s funding “the wrong people/things” is part of this normality.

But it is the Right that is more organized and better able to march in lockstep simply because the Right tends to be reactionary (rather than being proactive).

Ok. Now it makes sense.

Some of it you have backward, but at least what you are saying makes sense.

Wealthy people on the left can spend their money however they want, no matter how stupidly/wisely, so long as it is legal.
Wealthy people on the right can spend their money however they want, no matter how stupidly/wisely, so long as it is legal.

Yes.
The left is actually much better organized and in lockstep, which is why you hear leftist media parrot each other constantly even using the same phrasing. The right and the Independents are far too individualistic for that.

You may be right that the right has been reactionary lately. After all, stuff like 42 genders and revisionist history in schools have never been pushed in the classrooms before, while achievement levels are plummeting across the board. Everyone needs to get back to hardcore academics, and they can focus on their own interests on their own time.

yeah thats a load of nonsense, he censors, just anyone that talks bad about stuff he actually likes. the guy is a complete hypocrit.

He does not censor for political views. If someone threatens someone, launches personal attacks or doxxes or something like that, maybe so.

Again, only when it targets him, when it's the far right doing it, he has no problem with it, he's a hypocrit, only cares about removing free speach when it suits him. Not to mention potential shadow bans and such the guys a liar and you all fell for it, kinda sad.

"Clinton first met Alinsky when she was at Wellesley working on her 1969 thesis on his controversial theories on community organizing, many of which were outlined in his 1946 handbook, "Reveille for Radicals."

So something like 65 years ago?

It's so strange that the people most familiar with Alinsky who have most taken him to heart and mind are the Magadonians.

Since us lefties are constantly derided as "radical left" we should start reading Alinsky and following his rules.

Nice to see you've recognized that leaders in your party were closely aligned with "Saul Alinsky's" teachings

Nonresponsive to my statement: "Obama wanted Hillary Clinton for president again, they have the same schooling credentials in Chicago, (Saul Alinsky "Rules For Radicals"")

If by "closely aligned" you mean "mostly disagreed with", maybe.

Nonresponsive to my statement: "Obama wanted Hillary Clinton for president again, they have the same schooling credentials in Chicago, (Saul Alinsky "Rules For Radicals"")

What a weird complaint as I wasn't even attempting to respond to that statement; I was responding to that which I quoted.

Are you saying that Obama wanted Clinton to run in 2024? That is extremely unlikely and really makes no sense.
