For years, George Soros has been the de facto Bond villain in the eyes of many in conservative and alternative media. The phrase “Soros-backed District Attorney” has been used so often since 2015 that Google gave up on suppressing the term.
George is horrible. His son, Alex, may be much worse and he’s now in charge of everything. Here’s an article by Tyler Durden from Zero Hedge followed by my commentary that explains why I’m so concerned about this turn of events…
George Soros Skips Former ‘Heir Apparent’ — Hands Reins of Empire to ‘More Political’ Son Alex
George Soros is handing control of his $25 billion empire to his son Alex – who in recent years has been seen flying around the world to conduct business on behalf of his family’s Open Society Foundation.
In doing so, the 92-year-old Soros is passing over the family’s one-time ‘heir apparent,’ Jonathan Soros, 52 – the third child from George’s first marriage, and a Harvard-trained lawyer who stabilized the Soros investment firm after a tumultuous period saw several investment chiefs come and go.
“I expected Jonathan to be the one,” said former Open Society Foundation president Aryeh Neier, who ran the organization from 1993 to 2012.
Jonathan Soros thought he was the one as well, telling the Wall Street Journal; “I always knew he could change his mind,” adding “As a trader, it’s the thing he’s most famous for.”
Their differences upended the succession plan. George was impulsive. Jonathan was analytical and contemplative. Jonathan was respectful of George but pushed back when he disagreed with his father’s decisions, according to people who worked with them. When they butted heads about two senior hiring choices, George felt his authority challenged. Jonathan felt undermined.
Looking to keep peace in the family, Jonathan left the Soros’s investment business in 2011, he said. His father soured about picking him to lead the foundation. “We didn’t get on on certain points,” George said. “That became evident to both of us, particularly to him, and he wanted to be out on his own.” -WSJ
“We ended our business relationship on pretty good terms,” said Jonathan of his father. “I was disappointed but not regretful.”
Enter Alex – the oldest of two sons from George’s 2nd wife, Susan Weber, who was elected chairman of the Open Society Foundation in December and is now responsible for directing political activity as president of Soros’ super PAC.
Alex – once an unlikely choice to lead the family – cared little about finance and instead loved football and philosophy. He’s described by the Journal as a once-introverted fat kid who was embarrassed by his family’s wealth who blossomed into a red-shoe wearing party animal.
He cared little about finance and couldn’t persuade his father to watch football. Instead, they spent hours discussing ideas and global politics. His thesis topic, “Jewish Dionysus: Heine, Nietzsche and the Politics of Literature,” thrilled his father. For Alex, “it’s football, philosophy and politics, in that order,” said Svante Myrick, one of his friends. -WSJ
But now, it’s all business.
“I’m more political” said Alex, who recently met with officials from the Biden administration, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and heads of state such as Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss affairs related to the Open Society Foundation – which donates roughly $1.5 billion per year to various causes and groups around the world.
Foundation money also goes to universities and other educational organizations. The Soros super PAC, Democracy PAC, has backed the election campaigns of district attorneys and law-enforcement officials seeking to reduce incarceration rates and racial bias in the justice system, among the efforts that have riled the right.

The selection of Alex, a hip-hop fan and New York Jets devotee, was once a long shot. Early on, Alex barely spoke up in meetings and was best known for his highflying social life. “Gorgeous models, NBA pals and hide-and-seek at his mansion: Welcome to the lavish life of investor George Soros’ playboy son,” said one Daily Mail.com online headline in 2016. -WSJ
Alex is also the sole Soros on the investment committee overseeing Soros Fund Management – which will migrate most of its $25 billion to the Open Society Foundation in the years ahead. Approximately $125 million has been set aside for the super PAC.
Between 2004 and 2006, Alex worked part time at the foundation. According to people who worked there, he didn’t make much of an impression – much less as a likely successor.
“Alex used to come to board meetings, but he hardly spoke,” said Neier.
Orange Man Bad
According to Alex, he’s concerned about the prospect of Donald Trump retaking the White House in 2024 – and has suggested a ‘significant financial role’ for the Soros organization in the effort to defeat him.
“As much as I would love to get money out of politics, as long as the other side is doing it, we will have to do it, too,” he said, as if his Super PAC didn’t employ Marc Elias, the Democrat superlawyer who worked tirelessly to change election laws leading up to the 2020 election.
According to Elon Musk – who recently compared George Soros to supervillain Magneto, the selection of Alex was “just a formality,” as “Alex has been de facto in charge for several years.”
Just a formality. Alex has been de facto in charge for several years.

The Journal cites Alex as suggesting that speed had become too constrained on college campuses and elsewhere, saying: “I have some differences with my generation in regard to free speech and other things—I grew up watching Bill Maher before bed, after all.”

If @AlexanderSoros is serious about freedom of speech, then we have common ground.
But destroying public safety by electing DAs who won’t prosecute violent criminals needs to stop.

Why I’m Concerned
It’s easy to see George Soros as a rich guy throwing his money around for the sake of politics like other rich guys, but that’s actually very far from the truth. Nobody in the modern era has been more politically impactful than Soros and Open Society Foundation. The organization has done for leftist politics across the globe what the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has done for vaccines.
Under the helm of Alex Soros, they Open Society Foundation and the various organizations under their control will be more dangerous than they were under George. To understand this, we have to see the differences between the two. That’s an in-depth article for another day, but here’s a quick primer…
George Soros is ideologically driven. He believes in controlling situations and achieving goals by putting the right people in the right places. This ideology has been the force behind his promotion of radical District Attorneys across the nation. They find true believers, then help them get elected. It has proven to be more consequential than any political maneuver since the rise of Neoconservatism.
Alex Soros is philosophically driven. This differs from his father’s mentality because it does not require true believers in the movement. It requires control. Where his father has leveraged people he trusts, Alex Soros only trusts people he can leverage.
Open Society Foundation under George Soros has been a powerful force in guiding leftist politics in America and worldwide. Open Society Foundation under Alex Soros is going to take full control of as much political clout as they can access. Alex will be more direct. While George wouldn’t want to be seen with politicians because he wanted his influence to be from the shadows, Alex will force politicians to take press shots with him so everyone knows who their boss really is.
This is the direction that George Soros wanted. Otherwise, he would have selected Jonathan who is more comfortable in the shadows like his father. The fact that he selected Alex means the Soros patriarch has approved plans to take their clout to the next level. This is why I’m so concerned.
Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
