Soros-Linked Group Will Spend Millions To Stop Kavanaugh

The Soros Connection

The Fund is largely financed by a handful of donors. Financial statements filed with state oversight officials in 2014 show just three contributors accounted for 70 percent — or some $11.5 million — of the Fund’s total donations and grant revenue. Disclosure forms filed with the same agency in 2016 present similar facts. Fewer than five donors gave $13.3 million to the Fund, representing 63 percent of their donations.

One of those donors is the Open Source Policy Center [OSPC]. The Center’s tax forms show the Soros group gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Fund each year between 2012 and 2016, the last year in which records are publicly accessible. The Center gave the Fund $350,000 in 2012; $772,000 in 2013; $125,000 in 2014; $550,000 in 2015; and $481,483 in 2016.

OSPC is practically indistinct from the Open Society Foundations (OSF), Soros’ philanthropic and grant-giving network. OSPC has no employees of its own, according to the Center’s 2016 tax forms. Rather, Foundations employees are compensated for any work done for the Center. Said compensation is determined by the OSF, and documented in OSF’s internal records.

“OSPC has no employees,” the form reads. “Employees of Open Society Foundations[OSF], a related section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, perform services for OSPC. OSPC advances funds to OSF. for their services based on the time they spend on OSPC matters. Their compensation is determined by OSF, and is based on market comparability data and is documented in OSF's records.”

A New Shadow Group

Demand Justice was formed in the spring of 2018 as the progressive counterpart to a constellation of conservative advocacy groups which advertise and organize around judicial confirmations. Republicans have significantly outpaced Democrats in this space in recent years, given conservative voters’ sustained interest in the federal courts.

Executive director Brian Fallon told The New York Times that DJ hopes to “sensitize rank-and-file progressives to think of the courts as a venue for their activism and a way to advance the progressive agenda.”

Its ranks are staffed by alums of the Obama administration and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign: Fallon, the former Clinton campaign press secretary, serves as executive director and longtime Obama aide Christopher Kang is chief counsel. Other Clinton veterans involved with the group include Gabrielle McCaffrey and Diana Bowen, according to LinkedIn.

The Fund serves as Demand Justice’s fiscal sponsor. As such, DJ does not have to submit its own tax returns or disclose its supporters. The Fund registered the trade name Demand Justice with the WASH, DC Dept. of Consumer and Regulatory affairs on 2 MAY 2018.

The National Council of Nonprofits says that fiscal sponsors provide “fiduciary oversight, financial management and other administrative services” for its dependents, like Demand Justice. As such, many grants or donations DJ receives are awarded by way of the Fund. Both organizations are based out of the same Washington, D.C., address.

Supporters can also give to Demand Justice through ActBlue Civics, a major fundraising platform for leftwing causes.

Given this structure, it is difficult to know how much money individual donors like Soros have channeled to Demand Justice.

The nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court presents the first significant political conflict since DJ was founded in the spring of 2018. The outfit vowed to put $5 million dollars behind a multi-platform effort to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The campaign will feature television spots promoting embattled Democratic Senate incumbents in West Virginia, Indiana and North Dakota, who face competitive Republican challengers this November.

They will also run ads in Maine and Alaska, urging GOP Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski to oppose the nomination. Collins and Murkowski are pro choice moderates who have broken with their party on Obamacare repeal and federal funding for Planned Parenthood. The spots urge the senators to protect abortion access by withholding support for nominees who oppose the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. I suppose this is the evil bribing Collins with the million $ donation going to her opponent if she votes yes for Kavanaugh. [my personal thought]

Kavanaugh Accuser’s Attorney is Vice Chair of Soros-Funded Organization That Opposes Kavanaugh

Debra Katz, the attorney representing the woman who’s accusing Brett Kavanaugh of a high school era sexual assault, is the vice chair of the Project on Government Oversight — a group funded in large part by George Soros and his Open Society Foundation.

My, how the partisan links surrounding this accusation continue to grow. First the revelation that Christine Blasey Ford signed a letter in opposition to President Donald Trump’s border policies, showing her political leanings as a far leftist. Now, Kavanaugh’s accuser is being represented by Debra Katz, a Washington D.C. lawyer and the vice chair of the board of the Project On Government Oversight [POGO].

Next we have Debra Katz conflict of interest. POGO co-signed a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein and Senator Grassley along with a variety of lefty groups demanding Kavanaugh records. This was the obstruction tactic of choice of the left for trying to secure the Court seat before they fastened on to this latest smear.

New Mexico Sues Google & Twitter For Illegally Exploiting Children

Perhaps many people are not connecting the dots of the Deep State with the social giant tech companies, many of which have made their fortunes off the backs of Google's search engine platform and Android operating system.

At least one state in the union has decided to push back against some of the big tech giants after their Nazi-like censorship, but not because of censorship. New Mexico filed a lawsuit against Google and Twitter are among several tech companies named in the lawsuit that claims that several app developers knowingly and illegally collected data from children under 13-years-old without their parents' consent.

In a press release from New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas, the suit names Google, Twitter, Tiny Lab Productions, MoPub, AerServ, InMobi PTE, AppLovin and IronSource as the defendants.

Tiny Lab Productions are listed as the company by which the apps were designed and that the apps were marketed by Google in its Play Store. The apps, according to the press release, "targeted children and contain illegal tracking software."

"Federal law makes it illegal to collect personal data from children under 13 without parental consent. This illegal data collection allows Defendants, and whoever they sell this data to, to track, profile, and target millions of children nationwide."

“These apps can track where children live, play, and go to school with incredible precision,” said Attorney General Hector Balderas. “These multi-million-dollar tech companies partnering with app developers are taking advantage of New Mexican children, and the unacceptable risk of data breach and access from third parties who seek to exploit and harm our children will not be tolerated in New Mexico.”

The Free Thought Project adds: https://thefreethoughtproject.com/new-mexico-lawsuit-google-law/

The lawsuit comes on the heals of a study that showed over 6,000 apps violate COPPA regulations.

As the Free Thought Project reported earlier this year, YouTube was already found to be in violation of COPPA when an independent coalition of advocacy groups conducted their own investigation.

The coalition is made up of groups including the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC), the Center for Digital Democracy and 21 other organizations. Within their complaint, the coalition alleges that despite Google claiming YouTube is only for children 13-years-old and over—it knows younger children use the site and it targets them—illegally.

According to COPPA, it is illegal for any operator of a website or online service or a portion thereof that is directed to children, or that has actual knowledge that it collects information from children, from collecting, using or disclosing personal information from a child unless the operator gives parents notice of its data collection practices and obtains verifiable parental consent before collecting the data.

However, according to the complaint filed by the coalition, Google is knowingly violating this law.

According to the complaint:

YouTube also has actual knowledge that many children are on YouTube, as evidenced by disclosures from content providers, public statements by YouTube executives, and the creation of the YouTube Kids app, which provides additional access to many of the children’s channels on YouTube.

YouTube even encourages content creators to create children’s programs for YouTube. Through the YouTube Partner Program, YouTube and creators split revenues from advertisements served on the creators’ videos.

YouTube’s privacy policy discloses that it collects many types of personal information, including geolocation, unique device identifiers, mobile telephone numbers, and persistent identifiers used to recognize a user over time and across different websites or online services.

YouTube collects this information from children under the age of 13, and uses it to target advertisements, without giving notice or obtaining advanced, verifiable parental consent as required by COPPA. The coalition is now asking that the FTC step in and investigate the internet giant for these violations.

“For years, Google has abdicated its responsibility to kids and families by disingenuously claiming YouTube — a site rife with popular cartoons, nursery rhymes, and toy ads — is not for children under 13,” said Josh Golin, executive director of the CCFC, as reported by the Guardian at the time. “Google profits immensely by delivering ads to kids and must comply with Coppa. It’s time for the FTC to hold Google accountable for its illegal data collection and advertising practices.”

Jeff Chester of the Center for Digital Democracy said, “Google has acted duplicitously by falsely claiming in its terms of service that YouTube is only for those who are age 13 or older, while it deliberately lured young people into an ad-filled digital playground."

The AG's office also identified 91 apps that are or have been participants in Google's Designed for Families (DFF) program, except for those labeled with an asterik below. [I will drop the list if anons request]

TO ALL THE SHILLS

I'm sure all of us here are truly honored by your taking time to post your comments, and to inform us that you are so much more well read, informed and intelligent than the rest of us.

Your insinuation that nearly everyone who has had posts here are cabal shills is truly laughable. Perhaps you would kindly share with all of us what sources you use so that you are not being subjected to cabal shills, and so that all here can be as 'awake' and well informed as you are.

My question is why do you even come to the 8ch/qresearch? Is it that YOU are a government shill? That your intent is to downplay every blog and article that may be doing some exposure and thus damage to the cabal's plans?

Or are you suffering from delusions about your own intelligence and thus trying to make everyone else believe that you know more than all the rest of us?

I think most of us would advise you to go to those websites you agree with and stay there since you are not agreeable with the work done here - that, by the way, doesn't cost you a penny to access.

Everyone is still free to go to any news source they prefer, go to yours; YOU accomplish ZERO by being here.
