The Tentacles of George Soros: An MRC Primer
30th September 2026
As Americans gear up for another tumultuous midterm election year, voters should be aware that the most notorious billionaire in politics is still actively trying to bend society into his own personal plaything from an entire menu of political and sociocultural angles.
George Soros, who has emerged as one of the top political donors (again) for the midterms, has dedicated his massive fortune over the years to exploiting the vehicles of media, climate change, terrorism, education, elections, censorship and lawfare to be agents of his dark “open society” worldview.
To that end, Soros has poured well over $32 billion to ensure his Open Society Foundations (OSF) remain a well-oiled machine to ensure that the “arc of history” is foreseeably bent to his will now with his more radical son Alex taking the throne of the empire.
The elder Soros once boasted that “[i]t is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out,” according to The Independent in 1993. This is not just the musings of a billionaire overdosing on his own ego. He has developed an international reputation for putting his money where his mouth is. In fact, Morton Abramowitz, a former head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, once referred to Soros as “the only man in the United States who has his own foreign policy and can implement it.”
