GEORGE SOROS SPENT $117M TO ELECT AND CONTROL LEFTIST DAs AND PROSECUTERS!!!
From: Judicial Watch
Augusta 14, 2024
Soros Spends $117 Million to Elect, Control Leftist County Prosecutors Throughout U.S.
In a scheme to promote a radical leftwing overhaul of the U.S. justice system, billionaire George Soros has spent about $117 million in the last few years to elect then control dozens of liberal county prosecutors throughout the nation, a new report reveals. Once elected the prosecutors, typically known as district attorneys who represent the government in criminal cases, meet regularly with representatives from Soros-funded nonprofits that coordinate and manage the chief officials responsible for upholding and enforcing the law in their respective districts. The Soros machine orders prosecutors to practice leftist policies that are soft on crime, target police and political opponents. The district attorneys are also directed not to enforce certain laws such as those protecting children from chemical castration and genital mutilation, procedures justified by the left as “life-saving gender-affirming” for transgender individuals.
The extraordinary details of the robust Soros effort to overhaul the nation’s justice system by embedding leftist prosecutors throughout the country were uncovered during a year-long investigation by the Media Research Center (MRS). Dedicated to documenting and combating the falsehoods and censorship of the news media, the Washington D.C.-based group examined thousands of pages of documents that show a “shocking level” of control by the Soros-funded nonprofits over many county prosecutors. “The Soros machine sets their policies and priorities, staffs their offices with hand-picked leftists, dictates media narratives, lobbies government officials and perverts the American justice system,” the MRC probe found. The investigation determined that the Soros enterprise dedicated at least $40 million to help elect 126 prosecutors and an additional $77,663,316 to the leftist nonprofits that issue their marching orders once they are in office.
MRC used public records requests to obtain 7,785 pages of internal communications from dozens of Soros-backed prosecutors and examined official files as well as electronic mail, text messages, chats, and other communications. The documents expose how the Hungarian billionaire’s groups directed the liberal prosecutors to manipulate laws involving drugs, abortion, illegal immigration, election integrity, capital punishment and even childhood sex changes. One of the key groups directing the local prosecutors is Fair and Justice Prosecution (FJP), a nonprofit committed to promoting a justice system grounded in fairness, equity and compassion. “Great strides have been made in promoting justice reforms that recognize that prior ‘tough on crime’ and incarceration-driven practices have not always resulted in safer or healthier communities,” according to FJP. The group is a sponsored project of the Tides Center, another Soros-funded conglomerate dedicated to advancing social justice. “FJP held at least 51 private meetings and published 33 formal statements and pledges that contained signatures from prosecutors within its network between 2021 and 2022 alone,” the MRC report states.
Examples include 508 communications—emails, virtual meetings, in-person conversations—between San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin’s office and FJP during an 18-month period, averaging at least one communication a day. Five county prosecutors in Texas worked so closely that they created a shared group chat to strategize on refusing to enforce statutes that ran afoul of their leftist political views. Combined the elected officials represent over seven million Texans and the documents reviewed by MRC show they strategized to undermine political opponents, including the state’s Republican attorney general. “At least 30 percent of the U.S. population currently lives under the boot of the Soros prosecutors who were pressured to sign pledges vowing to adhere to various Soros priorities,” the report says, adding that the “Soros machine” arranged dozens of joint statements and pledges signed by 123 of the 126 prosecutors vowing to adhere to the leftist billionaire’s priorities.
Besides embedding like-minded county prosecutors nationwide, the records obtained by MRC show that Soros also spent at least $35 million to support anti-police groups and causes in one year alone after George Floyd’s death. His beloved FJP defended the violence and racial unrest triggered by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa movements, accusing the American criminal justice system of being systemically racist. Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) also dedicated $220 million for racial justice and black empowerment in the aftermath of Floyd’s death.

The criticisms of the songs in Songbirds and Snakes all come down to them saying it takes the viewer out of the harrowing world of the Hunger Games and into an unrealistic embarrassing musical. The fact though is that songs have always been apart of rebellion, in sowing seeds of unrest by singing words that are forbidden to speak. Harriet Tubman sang a song to say goodbye to her family when she ran away, because they could not speak to one another and it was an understood language between her and her family. Armies would sing songs of resilience and strength as they marched into battle. Sailors tunes are known widely throughout history. What is so surprising and embarrassing about humans finding sincerity and melodies comforting in the face of death and an unjust world? Music is a tool, when easily looked over and seen as "embarrassing", people can sing messages of freedom, hope, and faith under the eye of those who would condemn them. When Lucy Grey began to sing the capital didn't understand the point being made, but her covey did, district twelve did, and that hidden message is the whole point. She sang words of rebellion in which spoken would have had her severely punished
#the hunger games#like thats a theme of the og hunger games#its not a badass hero film in which the rights things are taken devastatingly seriously and the wrong are punished#its about a 16 year old girl being manipulated and martyred by a political war#it's harrowing#and humbling#to the point where you sing a song from your district about a tree#after seeing the devastation of hundred of people#its not embarrassing to be chosen to fight in a game by a government you hate#and screaming in the only way you can without being shot dead right then and there#lucy grey baird#hunger games the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#coriolanus snow

I hate whenever I think I came up with an original idea for a book but then realize it’s just made up of a bunch of elements from different things I’ve read.
#I made my story’s government have 7 different main family powers that all line up with the continents#like shatter me#made the judicial system mostly ruled by AI (pretty sure I got this from#arc of a scythe)#made the protagonists chosen ones who are also orphans (found in lots of places but most popularly seen in HP)#gave those select few (some of whom are from those big government families) have superpowers that come from genetic engineering#kind of like shatter me#made a fantasy trio with two boys and one smart girl (HP#magisterium and PJO among others)#at their special fancy magic-ish school the students apprentice older teachers#like magisterium and also a bit of ranger’s apprentice somehow?? 😭#was thinking about doing one of those marriage match making systems but realized that was too much like kotlc and the giver#made each continent responsible for producing a certain thing (like the districts in the hunger games)#there’s SO much more I seriously need to rewrite this shi from when I was 11.#I have no original thoughts.

Not sure if you meant for the questions to be askes BUT 9 for like iskra or something would be interesting since there is a mix of human and cardassian culture, does julian celebrate any terran holidays with them?
omg I wish I was a better worldbuilder, people come up with so many fun fake little holidays. Thanks to that one throwaway line in ST:D I've unilaterally decided that Cardassian culture is very food-centric, so you know baby Iskra got taken to lots of street food festivals celebrating military victories and elections..
Julian trying to figure out which terran holidays can be safely transported and re-potted on post-Fire Cardassia (I feel like he still tries to celebrate Federation day at home just so the kids can have some positive associations. Cue him and Lim trying to figure out how to cook a desert lungfish without soliciting their neighbors' help with removing the fibrous capsule..)
Halloween is a safe bet, I think. Scaring the spirits away is vaguely Hebetian and the locals enjoy both tricks and treats. Julian gives his coworkers at the hospital candy to distribute to her.
Still got to be lots of nationalist holidays to celebrate after the war, but now they're very much tinged with bitter memories. Now they're more of an opportunity to complain about the current administration and get drunk (both activities Iskra vigorously enjoys as an adult)
#dee s 9#garashir adoption au#happy gul dukat day where we burn gul dukat in effigy all across the continent <3#man i shouldve drawn that... Beat Gul Dukat With A Stick day to drive the bad spirits out of government#not seen on Halloween: lim in julians old scrubs (doctor) and 6 month old idan dressed in a beautiful kukalaka inspired snuggie garak sews#as an american who does not celebrate the 4th of july because [history major reasons] i will still do red white and blue shots. fuck da gov#iskra is less anarcho-antiestablishment than young elim... but thats cause shes like. a government agent. theyre her boss#OHHHH YOU KNOW JULIAN BREAKS OUT THE BABY PHOTOS EVERY HALLOWEEN!#Lim and garak make precious little costumes for lims half dozen kids. spreading the Halloween spirit thru the entire district#its a moment its a movement#the Castellans House is decked OUT with fake spiders and cobwebs. garak and lim united on this front#the rest of garaks cabinet. who has never seen a spider and have no idea what halloween is:#lim poking his head in does anyone want blood punch? it's normal punch. but i put grapes in painted to look like eyeballs#minister of finance: what the fuck

left wingers who live in deep red states might be especially equipped to normalize voting third party for president this election if they're of the mind not to vote blue. there are plenty people who don't want to vote for harris due to her right wing pandering and policies, but even if we did, gerrymandering has made it impossible for our blue vote to make a lick of difference in the presidential race specifically. my county and my state have never not been red in my entire two+ decades of living here and that's not going to change this election, but i can help contribute to the slow growing trend of third party presidential candidates being platformed in the mainstream on paper.
#j.txt#2024 elections#i feel like i might be more torn if i lived in a swing state or even district or county but#i simply do not like it's bloodstain red Every election with Every level of government lol#so i feel more incentive honestly to bolster nominees not included in the two party system this go around on top of every other reason not#to vote blue

Another reminder that every vote counts.
In Minnesota House of Representatives District 54A, DFL incumbent Brad Tabke has apparently beaten GOP challenger Aaron Paul by 15 votes. In Minnesota, DFL = Democratic.
This was determined after a hand recount. If Tabke had lost, Republicans would have flipped the chamber. But with Tabke's victory, the DFL and GOP would likely be tied in the House and must work out a power sharing agreement.
In a race that could determine control of the Minnesota House, state Rep. Brad Tabke, DFL-Shakopee, has won reelection after narrowly defeating Republican challenger Aaron Paul by 15 votes after election officials recounted thousands of votes by hand on Thursday. The results are unofficial because 4 ballots are still in dispute. Tabke’s margin of victory widened by one vote from an earlier count. A lawyer representing Paul suggested that he may challenge the results in court but said he wants to discuss the matter with Paul first. Paul asked for the recount after election officials rescanned thousands of ballots days after the election because they discovered a ballot screening malfunction. Election officials are also investigating the loss of 21 physical absentee ballots. Scott County elections officials spent Thursday hand counting thousands of ballots under the watchful eyes of campaign representatives for Tabke and Paul. As election judges sorted and reviewed ballots at eight different tables, partisan representatives disagreed four times with the election judges’ assessment. Those so-called challenged ballots will be reviewed on Monday when the Scott County Canvassing Board meets to certify the election. Tabke’s victory means there’s an even greater likelihood that Republicans and Democrats will share power in the Minnesota House. After this month’s election, the two parties won 67 seats each pending recounts in Scott County and another legislative race in Sherburne County.
That race alluded to in Sherburne County is House district 14B. DFL candidate Dan Wolgamott has 10,005 votes (50.36%), Republican Sue Ek has 9,814 votes (49.40%) and there are 48 stupid write-in votes. The DFL is likely to win the recount there.
Historically, hand recounts don’t result in a meaningful change in votes because the scanning machines are very accurate. As the recount was occurring, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and legislative leaders met to discuss their plans for the upcoming session. Since Democrats will no longer control the House, there will have to be bipartisan agreement to pass a two-year budget next year. [ ... ] Democrats hold a one seat majority in the state Senate. The Legislature is scheduled to convene on Jan. 14.

The existence of Pluribus and Barb Azure in Songbirds and Snakes raises a question: is Gay Marriage legalized in Panem?
#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the hunger games#this is like 30% a joke#i mean i guess the government wouldnt really care about what the districts do as long as the do it untraitorously#and i just assume no one on Katniss's prep team was straight. this includes cinna.#glad that the government is totalitarian but they didnt rollback marriage equality. you can starve to death with whomever you want ig#love wins?#anyways this means Katniss Peeta and Madge shouldve been a polycule thank you for coming to my ted talk

no semi-trivial talking point gets me madder faster than "if teachers just taught better kids would go to school"
#would it be amazing if every student had a personalized school experience that catered to their specific interests and goals? yes absolutely#is that a realistic expectation that aligns with expectations of building admin and district admin and state/federal government expectations#absolutely fucking not#cranky old man opinion: sometimes people should have to do things they don't want to do. it builds character.
