WFB: George Soros’s advocacy group, the second-highest-spending lobby group in the country, has halted its advocacy operations after its lobbyists departed earlier this year.
The Open Society Policy Center (OSPC), a D.C.-based lobbying shop in the liberal billionaire’s vast network, deployed two in-house staffers to influence Capitol Hill lawmakers on legislation. The policy center, however, recently filed a termination report to the U.S. House of Representatives Office of the Clerk that became effective on March 31, as both lobbyists left the OSPC earlier in the year.
The two lobbyists were an integral part of Soros’s political influence operation. Their departure means the nonprofit’s advocacy efforts in the nation’s capital will halt for the time being. OSPC was the second-largest lobbying spender in the nation in 2019, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Soros’s lobbying shop has poured more than $100 million into advocacy efforts since President Donald Trump took office—$40 million more than it spent over the previous 14 years combined. In recent years, it has spent more than Amazon, Facebook, Boeing, and Alphabet, Google’s parent company. Only the U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent more than the OSPC on lobbying last year. Much of the OSPC’s spending was for grants to other liberal organizations for their advocacy efforts rather than its own lobbying. read more
Would be better news if Soros left the planet.
Hasn’t he seen those Plexiderm commercials?
I’m not seeing any particular overall significance to this.
Maybe just reshuffling to become more effective or less visible somewhere else.
But I really lack the political sophistication to understand all the impacts and implications, so a better analysis of the move by someone more astute would be appreciated.
He’ll just continue to give money and goodies to the politicians directly. He cut out the middle man.
In my opinion any politician that accepts even a penny of Sorus money should immediately be declared a traitor to American values, drawn and quartered, the pieces sent to Maine, northern Washington state, southern California and Key west Florida where they can be publicly displayed until eaten by vermin. I’ll tell ya how I really feel next time.
Hmm. Are they headed to countries with which we have no extradition agreement?
Or is is just a management change, with Bloomberg taking over for Soros?
It would be good to see a list of Open Society Policy Center recipients. I’m sure it would be the usual suspects, with the media high on the list.
It is a world wide campaign for Socialism.

Here is a list. I can’t find a date, but it is pro socialism around the world.

Why does Soros need lobbyists anymore? All the democrats are already in lockstep with him anyway.
His autobiography: “I Was A Jewish Nazi”.
Think of it as an update of “I Was A Teenage Werewolf”.

“I can’t find a date”, was my lament for many years. Then, I went to Las Vegas. I had da money.
