Preface

As stated in comment 10/10 of RoC-14, the above threads were a precursor for this, the so-called MOAB. As always, I'm not Q & Q may have a MOAB of their own, but, this is my one...

Why? Let's say hi to ol' George Soros and the Rockefellers again and again and again, shall we?

I have no reasons to immediately suspect wrong-doing by New Dragon Garden or Dragon Buffet, but, I do find their close proximity and dragon references to be curious, if not suspicious in their own right.

Also worth noting, is that another Dunkin' Donuts is not far south-east of Dragon Buffet.

Notes on Alec's Political views:

He serves on the board of People for the American Way.

Hold the fucking presses ladies and gents...

wiki: People for the American Way

People For the American Way (PFAW) is a progressive/liberal[4] advocacy group in the United States.[5] Organized as a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, PFAW was registered in 1981 by the television producer Norman Lear[6] who founded the organization in 1980 to challenge the Christian right agenda of the Moral Majority.

History

PFAW was founded by the television producer Norman Lear in opposition to the publicized agenda of the Moral Majority, a formerly prominent and influential American political organization associated with the Christian right.[7] Officially incorporated on September 4, 1980,[1] its co-founders included Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and Time Inc. chairman and CEO Andrew Heiskell.[8] PFAW began as a project of the Tides Foundation,[9] a donor-advised fund that directs money to politically liberal causes.[10]

Former presidents of PFAW include Tony Podesta[11] and Ralph Neas.[12]

Soon after its founding, PFAW launched an affiliated 501(c)(3) organization, People for the American Way Foundation, for the purpose of conducting more extensive educational and research activities for left-wing causes.[13] Later,[when?] the People For the American Way Voter Alliance was launched as a political action committee.

Ok so let's recap...

Leadership

Michael Keegan is the organization's president. Members of the group's board of directors included John Hall Buchanan, Jr., Alec Baldwin, Seth MacFarlane, Mary Frances Berry, Julian Bond, Bertis Downs IV, James Hormel, Dolores Huerta, Jane Lynch, Josh Sapan, Dennis Van Roekel, Howie Klein and Reg Weaver.[2]

Funding

Major donors to PFAW include George Soros' Open Society Institute, the Miriam G. and Ira D. Wallach Foundation, the Bauman Foundation, and the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund.

[3. wiki: Open Society Foundations]: (Redirected from Open Society Institute)

The whole wiki entry for OSF is worth reading, I'm going to skip ahead after the opening and history section, though.

Open Society Foundations (OSF), formerly the Open Society Institute, is an international grantmaking network founded by business magnate George Soros.[2] Open Society Foundations financially support civil society groups around the world, with a stated aim of advancing justice, education, public health and independent media.[3][4]

The OSF has branches in 37 countries,[5] encompassing a group of country and regional foundations, such as the Open Society Initiative for West Africa, and the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa; its headquarters are in New York, New York.

Since its establishment in 1993, OSF has reported expenditures in excess of $11 billion.[6] The group's name is inspired by Karl Popper's 1945 book The Open Society and Its Enemies.[7]

History

On May 28, 1984, Soros signed a contract between the Soros Foundation (New York) and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the founding document of the Soros Foundation Budapest.[8] This was followed by several foundations in the region to help countries move away from communism.[9]

In 1991 the foundation merged with the Fondation pour une Entraide Intellectuelle Européenne, an affiliate of the Congress for Cultural Freedom, created in 1966 to imbue 'non-conformist' Eastern European scientists with anti-totalitarian and capitalist ideas.[10]

Open Society Institute was created in the United States in 1993 to support the Soros foundations in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.[5]

In August 2010, it started using the name Open Society Foundations (OSF) to better reflect its role as a benefactor for civil society groups in countries around the world.[11]

Soros believes there can be no absolute answers to political questions because the same principle of reflexivity applies as in financial markets.[12]

In 2012, Christopher Stone joined the OSF as the second president. He replaced Aryeh Neier, who served as president from 1993 to 2012.[13] Stone announced in September 2017 that he was stepping down as president.[14]

In 2016, the OSF was reportedly the target of a cyber security breach. Documents and information reportedly belonging to the OSF were published by a Web site. The cyber security breach has been described as sharing similarities with Russian-linked cyberattacks that targeted other institutions, such as the Democratic National Committee.[15]

In 2017, Soros transferred $18 billion to the Foundation.[16]

A couple of notes from the OSF wiki before we move on:

Activities

The Open Society Foundations reported annual expenditures of $827 million in 2014.[17] Its $873 million budget in 2013, ranked as the second largest private philanthropy budget in the United States, after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation budget of $3.9 billion.[18]

According to the foundations' website, 1993–2014 expenditures included:[17]~~

$2.9 billion to defend human rights, especially the rights of women; ethnic, racial, and religious minorities; drug users; sex workers; and LGBTQ communities;~~

$737 million for public health issues such as HIV and AIDS, TB, palliative care, harm reduction, and patients' rights;~~

~~OSF reported granting at least $33 million to civil rights and social justice organizations in the United States.[19] This funding included groups such as the Organization for Black Struggle and Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment that supported protests in the wake of the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the death of Eric Garner, the shooting of Tamir Rice and the shooting of Michael Brown.[20][21][22] According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the OSF spends much of its resources on democratic causes around the world, and has also contributed to groups such as the Tides Foundation.[23]~~

Reception and influence

~~Open Society Foundation has been criticized in pro-Israel editorials, Tablet Magazine, Arutz Sheva and Jewish Press, for including funding for the activist groups Adalah and I'lam, which they say are anti-Israel and support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. Among the documents released by DCleaks, an OSF report reads "For a variety of reasons, we wanted to construct a diversified portfolio of grants dealing with Israel and Palestine, funding both Israeli Jewish and PCI (Palestinian Citizens of Israel) groups~~"[29][30][31]

Before we circle back to EMILY's List, let's take a moment to learn about the organizers of "Free Speech Week", the Berkley Patriot:

[37. http://www.dailycal.org/2017/09/18/berkeley-patriot-student-group-organizing-free-speech-week/ | https://archive.is/QjErW]:

What is the Berkeley Patriot, the student group organizing ‘Free Speech Week’?

^{By Danielle Kaye | Staff}

^{Last Updated September 20, 2017}

UC Berkeley has been under the spotlight for “Free Speech Week,” but the student organization behind the event remains largely unknown.

The Berkeley Patriot editor in chief Mike Wright said the Berkeley Patriot is a student-run conservative online publication that aims to use Free Speech Week to expand its reach and promote free speech. The Berkeley Patriot was created over the summer to replace its predecessor, the California Patriot, according to Wright, who co-founded the revamped publication.~~

[38. wiki: California_Patriot]:

The California Patriot is an independent, student-run, glossy-covered opinion magazine at the University of California, Berkeley.

History

The magazine was started in 2000[1] by two 19-year-old sophomores, Tyler Monroe and Kelso Barnett.[2]

Overview

The magazine's mission is to promote conservative politics and opinion at the University.[3] The magazine prints eight issues a year and is distributed on the Berkeley campus free of charge. When a new issue is released, the Patriot homepage provides a link to a pdf version for reading. The Patriot also provides subscription options for those that would like it shipped to them. The magazine receives most of its funding from individuals and conservative foundations around the country.[2]

Notable stories

In 2002, the California Patriot broke a story that the University of California, Berkeley, planned to host a 9/11 memorial event without any red-white-and-blue ribbons or other displays of American patriotism because they might offend foreign students. Bill O'Reilly hosted the editor of the California Patriot to tell the story on Fox News. The publicity caused the administration to reverse that decision.[2]

During the early 2000s, the magazine promoted support for President Bush and the Iraq War. Other stories have involved alleged misappropriation of money by an organ of the student government, and the use by the University of student funds to campaign against a California ballot proposition.

[37]:

~~Content published in the California Patriot magazines ranged from campus-related stories, such as ASUC candidate endorsements, to state and national political commentary. On its website, the Berkeley Patriot also covers local and national news, including Ben Shapiro’s campus speaking event, the protest that took place in Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park on Aug. 27 and the concept of free speech.

Wright added that the Berkeley Patriot is planning to “be more news-orientated and break more stories” than the California Patriot.

The Berkeley Patriot news editor Pranav Jandhyala said that while the Berkeley Patriot is a conservative publication, it strives to be objective and unbiased. Recently, the Berkeley Patriot wrote an article about the lack of violence during Ben Shapiro’s speaking event on campus, saying that “for once in Berkeley, reason and civility defeated the forces of anarchy.”

Although Berkeley Patriot spokesperson Bryce Kasamoto confirmed that the publication is rebranding itself with its new name, it is still officially registered as a Registered Student Organization under the name of the California Patriot, according to CalLink and the ASUC Fiscal Year 2017-18 Budget.

“Our mission is essentially to provide objective news from UC Berkeley to the nation. We think UC Berkeley is a microcosm for news,” Jandhyala said. “We still abide by the same standards (as the California Patriot). There’s no image change that we’re really looking for.”

ASUC Chief Financial Officer Paul Cho said in an email that the 2017-18 academic year marks the third year in which the California Patriot has received funding from the ASUC.~~

[39. wiki: Associated Students of the University of California (ASCU)]:

The Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC) is the officially recognized students' association of UC Berkeley. It was founded in 1887,[2] and is an independent 501(c)3[1] non-profit unincorporated association. The ASUC controls funding for ASUC-sponsored organizations, advocates on behalf of students to solve issues on campus and in the community, engages with administrators to develop programming, increase student-organizational resources, and increase transparency.[citation needed]

History

The ASUC was founded on March 2nd, 1887. Prior to this, UC Berkeley had no residence halls, sport teams, or permanent student organizations. The original purpose of the ASUC was "to organize the Student Body in such wise that it might take effective action upon all matter relating to the general welfare of the student body and the University in general."[3] The organization went on to absorb the Cal Student Store, become the center of student organization oversight, and run all university athletics until the 1960s. [4]

Various student political parties – popularly known as "slates" – and independent student communities participate in the ASUC.[citation needed] SLATE, a pioneer organization of the New Left and precursor of the Free Speech Movement and formative counterculture era, was a campus political party at Cal from 1958 to 1966, while VOICE (a radical party) and Pact (a liberal party) were campus political parties at Cal in 1967.[5]

At present, two parties primarily dominate ASUC politics. Student Action, founded 1995, is a coalition of organizations, with key support groups being the Greek life and pre-law community. [6]. CalSERVE (Cal Students for Equal Rights and a Valid Education), founded 1984, is also a coalition, but one centered directly on "access, representation, and social, environmental, and racial justice."[7]

In addition to these two parties, smaller third parties have been known to run for seats. SQUELCH! is a satirical party which has run and won seats in the past before suffering a major blow in the 2017 elections, when they won no seats in the senate.[8] The Pirate Party centers their messaging on technology and humor, campaigning in pirate costumes during election season. As of the 2017 elections, they held one seat in the ASUC Senate.[9]. The Defend Affirmative Action Party (DAAP), founded by national activist and left-wing militant group BAMN, campaigns on a platform of radical racial justice and inclusion for students, though has found relatively little support, having won no seats for 9 years as of 2017.[10]

DAAP announces 4 ASUC general election candidates

The Defend Affirmative Action Party announced four senate candidates Sunday — two of whom are also running for executive offices — for the 2015-16 ASUC elections.

The party’s two executive candidates — junior transfer Michael Cortez-Mejia and senior Bianca Huntley-Ortega, who are running for president and student advocate, respectively — are also running for ASUC Senate alongside solely senate candidates Natasha Johnson and Benny Corona. In 2014, DAAP ran a full executive slate and 23 senate candidates.

DAAP campaign platforms include ending the privatization of the UC system, removing Janet Napolitano as UC president and doubling minority student enrollment for the 2015-16 school year.

The party also aims to eliminate standardized tests in the UC admissions process, support the DREAM Act, create a sanctuary campus for immigrant students, end rape culture and address issues of racism, sexism, sexual harassment and other prejudices.

DAAP was founded by the national activist group BAMN, which defends minority groups and organizes protests, including the December protests over police killings of unarmed black men.

The two executive candidates are running for senate seats to ensure greater representation of the independent student movement in both executive offices and the senate. A DAAP candidate has not won a senate seat in eight years and has never won an executive position.~~

[41. wiki: BAMN]:

The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary, commonly shortened to By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), is a militant American left-wing[1] group that organizes protests and litigation to achieve its aims.

Origins

BAMN was formed in 1995 to oppose the July 20, 1995 decision by Regents of the University of California to ban affirmative action. In 1997, BAMN expanded to Michigan, where it organized student support for the affirmative action policy of the University of Michigan Law School at Ann Arbor (UMLS) as a result of a challenge to that policy via Grutter v. Bollinger.

Conflict with law enforcement

In 2005, the American Civil Liberties Union reported that in 2002 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identified BAMN as "thought to be involved in terrorist activities."[5][6] According to the FBI, the group's protests were discussed in a meeting about alleged links to terrorist organizations.[5][6]
