My question is if George Soros a naturalized citizen is guilty of treason against the United States. The definition of treason in the
Constitution follows.
Article 3 Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
George Soros started the
Open Society Institute which is described in Wikepedia as follows.
The Open Society Institute (OSI), a private operating and grantmaking foundation, aims to shape public policy to promote democratic governance, human rights, and economic, legal, and social reform.
According to the same source The United States has the proud honor of being a country where the transition to democracy is a particular concern.
OSI has expanded the activities of the Soros Foundations network to other areas of the world where the transition to democracy is of particular concern
Here is an
excerpt from Gara LaMarche is vice president and director of U.S. Programs for OSI that explains how OSI feels about the United States.
In the last few years, radical-right political leaders have moved from the fringe essentially to control much of the national and many state governments. They, the fundamentalist clerics and their followers who comprise the “base” to which they feel most accountable, and the network of think tanks and attack media which support them, make clear their intent to roll back the Great Society and the cultural, social and political gains of the 1960s. Now, with fights over social security and the courts, they are targeting the New Deal.
Some of these figures and institutions wish explicitly to return the United States government, and its relationship to its citizens, to what it was before the Progressive Era. But their combined efforts to remake American society suggest a more recent and disturbing parallel: the McCarthy era.
According to the Global Elite,
OSI has been involved with the overthrow of the governments of at least two countries.
They have been involved in the Orange revolution in the Ukraine and the Rose revolution in Georgia.
The goals it to establish European norms and values in the countries they successfully recruit according to
this article by Leonard Benardo is regional director at the Open Society Institute–New York and Laura Silber is senior policy adviser of the same branch.
Buoyed by the success of their winter revolution, many expected that Europe to swiftly embrace Ukraine. But Europe, distracted by its own problems, was cautious, and sought to ascertain whether Ukraine could meet fundamental prerequisites, notably those rules that define membership in the European Union. Carrying out reforms on corruption, public broadcasting, freedom of information and access to justice would be a tangible sign that Ukraine had moved from rhetoric to action. The pace of European expansion likely will be halting, but Mr. Yushchenko must put Ukraine on a trajectory that conforms with European norms and values.
According to this
report by the Capital Research Center the Open Society Institute gives the majority of its grants in the United States to leftist organizations like the ACLU and Tides Center or left of center organizations like the American Bar Association. I located an aberration when they gave a minor grants to the far right origination, to be specific the Cato Institute.
I am curious about where the Open Society Institute obtains their own donations that they so generously lavish on the left but I can bet from looking at this that European Union governments and/or private interest have a large interest in it. But as for inditing George Soros for treason I have to prove several things which I was unable to. They are as follows
1 That he is at least partially funded by foreign governments,
2 that those governments are our enemies,
3 and/or That he is funded by the domestic enemies of the United States.
4. That he is willing using his money for the ill of the United States.
I consider point four proved as European norms and values are self destructive. I could not find out anything about the financial backers of OSI which for a group urging governments to be open is hypocritical but is is effective in that it stops me from progressing on the other three points.
