George Soros' Tides Foundation Funding Coordinated Pro-Hamas Bridge Blocking Protests

On Monday, planned and coordinated "Free Palestine" protests erupted all over the United States. Roads and bridges were blocked (except in Florida, where the protesters were dragged off the roads and arrested), and what the protesters describe as "economic choke points," such as the Golden Gate Bridge, were targeted deliberately. These protests were well planned and clearly well funded, and now we see that the George Soros/Tides Center group "Community Justice Campaign" is providing bail money and legal support to the protestors.

The protests, which took place in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, were organized by A15 Action, a newly formed group that worked to "coordinate a multi-city economic blockade on April 15 in solidarity with Palestine." The group's website directs users to a "bail and legal defense fund" hosted through ActBlue, the Democratic Party's online fundraising juggernaut.

Those who donate to the fund, the ActBlue page says, are sending money to the Community Justice Exchange, which provides "money bail, court fees and fines" and other legal services to "community-based organizations … that contest the current operation and function of the criminal legal and immigration detention systems." The exchange is a project of the Tides Center, a left-wing dark money network funded by Soros and other liberal billionaires.

The protesters, who organized the global event under the title A15, targeted economic "choke points" with the express purpose of causing as much financial disruption as possible, according to their website.

There's a lot to absorb here, so let's start peeling the onion.

ActBlue is a fundraising apparatus serving leftist and Democratic (but I repeat myself) causes. It is not affiliated - officially - with the Democratic Party and does not endorse individual candidates but does fund those candidates' campaigns; it is, in effect, a fundraising arm of the Democratic Party.

A15 Action, the group that organized the protests on Monday, has on their website a link where one can contribute to a "bail and legal defense fund," which is channeled through ActBlue.

The A15 Action website indicated that money donated through this link is sent to the Community Justice Campaign. 

And, as noted, the Community Justice Campaign is affiliated with the Tides Center, which is supported and heavily funded by leftist activist George Soros. There are several groups under the Tides umbrella, including the Tides Network, Tides Center, Tides Foundation, Tides Two Rivers Fund, and Tides Inc., but all are supported heavily by Soros and engage in different logistical parts of the overall goal of supporting leftist causes. They are a financial octopus of sorts, with tentacles everywhere, as their involvement with ActBlue and A15 Action demonstrates.

So, when one sees video or images of the various "Free Palestine" protests that took place Monday, with the waving of Palestinian and Hamas flags, the burning of American flags, and the shouting of "Death to Israel" and "Death to America," George Soros' fingerprints are all over it.

George Soros, his son, and their various organizations have never seen a far-left cause or action they wouldn't dump money into. What makes his support for Monday's protests especially concerning is that these protests, in particular their focus on "economic choke points," could be seen as a dry run for something far more serious. While it's true that most of the leftist protesters are harmless, rather comical figures, others should - must - be taken more seriously.

This isn't the only anti-Israel group that Soros has supported.

The Tides Center, for example, fiscally sponsors the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, which last year organized a "direct action" protest that attempted to block a U.S. military ship bound for Israel from leaving a port in Washington. It also sponsors the Adalah Justice Project, one of America’s most vocal Hamas apologists.

There is a case to be made that Soros, through his heavy funding of the Tides Foundation/Tides Center, is acting directly against the interests of the United States, and his financial support for leftists, anti-American, and, yes, antisemitic causes will continue long after the man himself has shuffled off the mortal coil.
