Guess Whose Pocket George Soros Is in Now
It’s been well-established that the spirit of Leviathan is twisting and distorting an even bigger path of destruction as it works its way through Washington, D.C., now that President Donald Trump is on office, but the way in which it has wormed itself into the Republican Party has been particularly curious.
Now, a new report by the Daily Caller’s Richard Pollock is shedding some light on the how and why as it relates to the president’s most vocal GOP critic.
With its connections to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, the Clinton Foundation and its enigmatic principle benefactor, George Soros—whom one could argue is the living embodiment of Leviathan—Teneo Holdings is bad news for most Washington politicians. But for a Republican politician, such a connection could be even more damaging.
Even in the case of U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a former presidential nominee, who turned over nearly $9 million in unspent funds from his failed 2008 presidential campaign in 2012 to establish the McCain Institute for International Leadership. It was intended to serve as his legacy and is purportedly “dedicated to advancing human rights, dignity, democracy and freedom.”
But through the tax-exempt non-profit foundation’s Sedona Forum, which McCain himself leads, Pollock’s reporting found “co-mingled special interests and powerful political players in alleged pay-to-play schemes.” Sound familiar? Read on:
The institute has accepted contributions of as much as $100,000 from billionaire liberal activist-funder George Soros and from Teneo, a for-profit company co-founded by Doug Band, former President Bill Clinton’s “bag man.” Teneo has long helped enrich Clinton through lucrative speaking and business deals.
And Bloomberg reported in 2016 on a $1 million Saudi Arabian donation to the institute, a contribution the McCain group has refused to explain publicly.
In addition, the institute has taken at least $100,000 from a Moroccan state-run company tied to repeated charges of worker abuse and exploitation. The McCain group has also accepted at least $100,000 from the Pivotal Foundation, which was created by Francis Najafi, who owns the Pivotal Group, a private equity and real estate firm.
The Pivotal Foundation has in the last three years given $205,000 to the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), which has been a vocal advocate for the Iranian nuclear deal the Obama administration negotiated.
