WHO’S SUBSIDIZING SOROS?

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 25, 2005 11:18 AM

You and me, according to Jeff Johnson at CNSNews.com:

The Open Society Institute, a private foundation controlled by liberal billionaire and political activist George Soros, received more than $30 million from U.S. government agencies between 1998 and 2003. Last year, Soros donated at least $20 million of his own money to such liberal groups as Moveon.org, in a failed attempt to block the re-election of President George W. Bush.

Tax records the Open Society Institute (OSI) is required to file with the Internal Revenue Service list “FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES” as “Contributors” of amounts between $4.6 million and $8.9 million over a six year period:

* 1998 – $4,611,617

* 2000 – $4,934,678

* 2001 – $5,869,809

* 2002 – $6,138,125

* 2003 – $8,889,802

The amounts total $30,454,031. Records from 1999 and 2004 were not immediately available.

OSI gave $20,000 to the defense fund of convicted terror handmaiden Lynne Stewart and more than $4.4 million to the ACLU, among other left-wing causes. CNS reports that:

Multiple calls to the State Department and United States Agency for International Development, which have both funded OSI, were not returned.
