There are many individuals who’ve contributed to laying the groundwork for the corrupt monstrosity that is the modern Democratic Party (Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, etc.), but the grand architect of this revolution is a man every Badlands reader should already be quite familiar with: George Soros.
The Democrat Party maintains the veneer of being an honest political party comprised of many varying individuals with their own perspectives working in unison toward democratic goals. This is decidedly NOT the case, and through the information contained in this article, we hope to show that there is indeed a subversive network working within the Democrat machine, ensuring that it complies with the Uniparty agendas.
Authors note: this post isn’t simply about beating the Democrats at the polls. I believe that the two-party system itself isn’t the actual cause of the problem here; rather, it is the result of a uniparty operating through both parties to give the illusion of a two-party system. Many books and articles have been written on how the Bush family, the Romneys, McCains, Cheneys, Murdochs, and even the Koch brothers have conducted a similar subversive Republican network that feeds the same beast. For the purposes of this article, I am going to strictly focus on the Democratic arm of the Uniparty.
In a nutshell, this subversive network came about through a series of political, legal, and financial maneuvers that essentially gave an amalgamation of political activists and billionaires de facto control over the D-Party as a whole. This is particularly true regarding the party’s campaign apparatus.
The Network
This Soros-controlled “shadow network” that I’ve mentioned is a group of private organizations (Open Society Foundation, Black Lives Matter, ActBlue, the Gil Foundation, MoveOn PAC, etc.) that work together and exercise a powerful hidden influence over the Democratic Party. The kingpins of this network are quite literally “kingmakers” and hand-select the candidate they want to run before the people have even spoken (Consider how the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton.)
To put it simply, if you are a politician who isn’t completely bought out by these institutions, you will not win the Democrat primary. Unless something has drastically changed behind the scenes, you can bet your britches RFK Jr. will find this out the hard way next year.
The shadow network must operate as stealthily as possible, employing secretive, manipulative, and extra-constitutional means to obtain its objectives. It does so by infiltrating bureaucracies, corrupting officials, and manipulating the press.
The radical organizer Saul Alinsky, an early mentor of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (and many other shadow-network operatives), identified for his adherents the real pathways to power in American politics. Alinsky knew that radicals could achieve wide-sweeping revolutionary change without the support of the majority so long as they understood the rules of the game and how to exploit them.
This network is several decades in the making. Alinsky wrote the rules, and Soros mastered the art.
Its pervasiveness had become a lot more evident in 2004 when, during that election cycle, this network (headed by a cadre of leftist billionaires) contributed over $300 million to the Democrat war chest. Through hefty donations and its independent media campaigns, it was able to shape the narrative and mold a new generation of voters born out of the complete train wreck that was the administration of George W. Bush. They may have lost at the polls that year, but the machine had grown tremendously.
On December 9th of that year, Eli Praiser, who headed a group within the subversive network called MoveOn PAC, boasted to its members:
“Now it’s our party. We bought it, we own it.”(#)
Unsurprisingly, Praiser is a Soros confidant.
Another friend of Praiser and Shadow Network operative is Zach Exley.
Exley is a political and technology consultant for Justice Democrats. He has formerly worked in key positions for Wikimedia Foundation, ThoughtWorks, New Organizing Institute, Politico, and the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. In other politics, Exley has worked for John Kerry’s presidential campaign and the UK Labour Party’s re-election campaign.
Here’s the clincher: Exley was organizing director at MoveOn.org, and while at MoveOn.org was caught up in a rigging scandal in favor of Dean during the Dean campaign. Exley joined Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks and Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk to form the Justice Democrats PAC in 2017 in order to reform the Democratic Party and take on President Donald Trump.
The group Justice Democrats endorsed Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and literally recruited AOC. (#)
You will notice how MoveOn.org keeps popping up in these progressive circles. To understand the dangers of MoveOn.org, one only needs to understand who is behind the organization and its nefarious activities. Billionaire globalist and messianic financier George Soros.
It always goes back to Soros. But is he himself just an avatar for something greater that’s always lurked behind the scenes?
Who is George Soros?
Soros is a Hungarian-born businessman and philanthropist. He likes to be seen as an altruist, donating money to "minority" causes and even running his own "human rights" NGOs.
He is seen as one of the world's leading mega-speculators and financial wizards, but there are those who believe Soros is merely a conduit for action as decreed by the seemingly eternal “monetarist establishment” behind the World Bank, the BIS, and the IMF.
This school of thought believes that Soros was a tool used to run looting operations against the nations of Eastern Europe as well as attacks against the sovereignty of nations. He’s bumped shoulders and worked in league with other notorious deep-political operatives such as Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski (#).
William Engdahl, in a 1996 article for Executive Intelligence Review, described Soros in his own special way:
Time magazine has characterized financier George Soros as a "modern-day
Robin Hood," who robs from the rich to give to the poor countries of eastern
Europe and Russia. It claimed that Soros makes huge financial gains by
speculating against western central banks, in order to use his profits to
help the emerging post-communist economies of eastern Europe and former
Soviet Union, to assist them to create what he calls an "Open Society." The
Time statement is entirely accurate in the first part, and entirely
inaccurate in the second. He robs from rich western countries, and uses his
profits to rob even more savagely from the East, under the cloak of
"philanthropy." His goal is to loot wherever and however he can. Soros has
been called the master manipulator of "hit-and-run capitalism."
As we shall see, what Soros means by "open," is a society that allows him
and his financial predator friends to loot the resources and precious assets
of former Warsaw Pact economies. By bringing people like Jeffrey Sachs or
Sweden's Anders Aslund and their economic shock therapy into these
economies, Soros lays the groundwork for buying up the assets of whole
regions of the world at dirt-cheap prices.
It has been suggested that Soros works either in tandem with or directly for the Rothschild family and its global financial network by betting against Rothschild institutions. It is also believed that the grand pyramidal system included the House of Saud, these forces all seemingly working against one another are all feeding the same predatory system.
Consider the following drops:
The above drop suggests that Forbes lists don’t actually track the true wealth of these families. There are myriad ways to hide your wealth; a simple example would be Bill Gates and George Soros both dumping a majority of their net worth on the books into their charities and foundations. (#)(#)
This next drop suggests that each side of the “pyramid” has its own role or lane that it stays in:
According to this drop, Soros' wheelhouse is controlling organizations (tax-exempt foundations, PACs, charities, private companies, etc.) as well as slush funds.
The Soros Influence
Soros has a penchant for toppling nations and manipulating global markets. He uses a multi-step "playbook" to do this. Though all of the details might not end up being perfectly correct, the basic outline of the plan for "revolution" in the USA has been slowly revealing itself over the last twenty years (and was seemingly expedited in response to the Trump presidency).
Here is a basic outline of what the Soros playbook could look like for the USA based on what we’ve seen Soros accused of in other countries:
Establish organizations (foundations and non-profits) within the US.
Fill these organizations with those that have been indoctrinated and activated by progressive ideologies.
After the organizations are firmly established, they are used to put the believers and leaders into positions in the federal government. This includes supporting campaigns and paying for advertisements to influence elections, among other things.
The organizations are used to purchase and influence media outlets. This is done on every front possible: TV, radio, print, internet, social media, pop culture, etc.
The compromised media is used to shape narratives and frame reality. The strategic deployment of narratives is attained by continually pounding a ceaseless drumbeat of the same messaging across all mediums of communication. The formation of narratives is practiced and refined over several years, sometimes even decades.
It is a prime objective of the network to infiltrate the election process. The more it is infiltrated, the more it can be directly managed. Soros is directly linked to voting machine use in several states.
Soros, either by co-opting or creating them, uses cultural figures to push various agendas. In the past, Soros has used folks like Al Gore (Dumping $10 Million annually into Gore’s Climate Reality Project, formerly known as the Alliance for Climate Protection at the time of the Soros cash injections.)
Once this first phase of the Soros Playbook is accomplished, his operatives then move to weaken the foundations of the state by causing doubt regarding the integrity and validity of the legal structures. Additionally, it causes everyone to doubt the integrity and validity of the election process.
This was on full display during the 2016 election, in which Soros and company ordained that Hillary Clinton would ascend to the oval office.
The Shadow Network worked to ensure Hillary would be the Democratic nominee. Since then, we’ve learned from Wikileaks that Hillary's team worked with both Soros and his many organizations, including his media organizations. Through this, she becomes not only dependent on Soros and his organizations to help her be elected, but also indebted.(#)(#)(#)
With the shadow network supporting her, Hillary never imagined she would lose. During this time, a brave whistleblower leaked information showing how the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders. (#)
This was the shadow network in action.
Additionally, through the compromised media apparatus, the shadow network was able to promote the various narratives that shaped public perception of that election. Primarily:
"Hillary will win easily. It is impossible for Trump to win."
"Trump is evil, racist, and bigoted. He is dangerous. No one could like him and still be a sane or good person."
"Russia and Trump are working together. Russia will probably influence the election for Trump and maybe try to help him steal it in some way (hacking)."
The next phase, after these ideas have taken root in the collective mind, is to create a legion of foot soldiers.
Enter Antifa and Black Lives Matter, which were funded by the shadow network and driven by Soros’ operatives. The media backed it up with sensationalism and a skewed perspective. The primary goal was to cause doubt about the legitimacy of the police and the legal system.
In the context of Fifth Generational Warfare, the target audience for this op was centrist and left-leaning individuals.
But there are other ways Soros manipulates public perception. Ever wonder why Wikipedia seems so biased?
There are important links between George Soros and the Wikimedia Foundation.
Melissa Hagemann, a senior program manager of the Soros Open Society Foundations' Information Program, has previously sat on the advisory board of the Wikimedia Foundation, which operates Wikipedia. Hagemann has also worked with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—an organization that, like Soros, has invested heavily in the drug industry over the years and, according to the Los Angeles Times, reaps vast financial gains from investments that contravene its claims to good works.
Similarly, Ethan Zuckerman, another former member of the Wikimedia advisory board, has also had connections to Soros and has sat on the Global Board of his Open Society Foundations.
Market Manipulation
Soros has a long history of engaging in morally-dubious currency speculation schemes for personal gain.
For example, in 1992 he decided that the British pound would have to be devalued on the grounds he considered it had entered the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM)—the currency exchange rate system that prepared for the introduction of the euro currency—at too high a rate. As a result, he spent months building up a gigantic trading position with the aim of profiting on a colossal scale.
Reportedly borrowing around 6.5 billion British pounds, Soros converted his holdings into a mixture of German Deutschmarks and French francs. On 16 September 1992, now known as "Black Wednesday", his gamble paid off and brought him a fortune.
Over the following days, he unwound his positions, causing a tidal wave of selling of the pound on foreign exchanges, the result being that the value of the pound plummeted and Britain was forced to drop out of the ERM.
As a result, Soros made a profit of around £1 billion and became known as,
"The man who broke the Bank of England."
However, defending the pound against Soros' enormous bets on the international currency markets cost Britain around £3.3 billion. The resulting financial turmoil in the country was widely viewed at the time as a national disaster.
To Soros, however, engaging in massive currency speculation gambles for personal gain is all in a day's work.
Said to dabble daily in currency markets on a vast scale, his alleged role in sparking the 1997 Asian economic crisis led to a group of Southeast Asian countries calling for him to be prosecuted as a criminal ...
Deep Speculation
The above portion of the article is what I have found on my own regarding George Soros and his shadow network.
This section is more for fun, and I hope it just starts a conversation. I am also not as well versed on the drops as many who read this SubStack, and am making an open invitation to fill in the blanks for me in the comments section.
The anon community has been digging into this behind-the-scenes hierarchy ever since the drops first emerged. Regarding Soros's actual place in this hierarchy, a couple of drops come to mind:
“How did Soros replace family ‘y’”
But who is family “Y”?
Some anons believe that “y” stands for the Rothschild family, who were the primary conduit for the machinations of “the Cult”. (aka Red Masonry; born of the marriage between the ancient Pagan Celtic Religion and the Grecco/Egyptian Eluesian Mystery Religion, aka Frater Lucious, Moriah Devouring Wind, etc. There are countless orders and subgroups that make up “Red Masonry” as defined by author William Stewart; the cult is believed to have descended from the Knights Templar.)
The drop, at least in my mind, is suggesting that somebody was replaced by Soros, though I personally cannot say conclusively who.
There is another drop:
Who is P?
It is believed that the letter “P” in the above drops refers to the Pope, though it has also been associated with Larry Page and Prince Philip. According to SOME of the 8Chan anons, the hierarchy goes as follows:
It is said that the Rothschilds infiltrated the Church long ago. From what I understand, subversive groups like the Lavender Mafia and the St. Gallen Mafia are a result of this infiltration.
This normie-friendly article on the Pope-Soros-Obama connection mentions the organization PICO. Another potential candidate for the letter “P” (It is also likely that no one has properly identified “P”).
Before the pope’s 2015 visit to the U.S., a group of left-wing activists and officials from unions and organizations such as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and PICO (an Alinskyite group founded by the liberal Jesuit Father John Baumann) descended on the Vatican to confer about the trip. Around the same time, over 90 members of the U.S. Congress sent Pope Francis a letter, urging him to focus on politically liberal themes.
In 2016, it was revealed through WikiLeaks that George Soros bankrolled much of this lobbying. He spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in an attempt to shape the pope’s visit to the U.S. Soros’s Open Society Foundation sought to create a “critical mass” of American bishops and lay Catholics supportive of the pope’s priorities.(#)(#)
The situation became so obvious that a group of Catholic lay leaders petitioned Donald Trump to launch an official investigation.
Everything above is the extent of my dig into Soros thus far, and likely barely scratches the surface. I am opening it up to the community to add what you may already know or what you may discover in your own personal digging.

Excellent article on Soros Ryan!! I’m currently writing a three part series that will dovetail nicely with this article. I’m writing about the other side of the triangle.
Prince Al Waleed.
I have been educated more in the last few years than I ever did while in college. Thank you for posting & can’t wait to read more about this topic!!!
