The Soros Footprint in Latin America | The American Spectator

George Soros’s trail of devastation reminds me of Godzilla. In the opening scenes of the 1998 hit monster movie, scientist Nick Tatopoulos is overcome with fear when gazing on giant reptile’s footprints in a Central American country left by the mutant lizard on his way to tear up New York City. I get a similar feeling examining Soros’s monstrous footprint in Bolivia, where voters have just cast off a socialist narco regime he helped Cuba to install before moving on to the U.S. (RELATED: Election in Bolivia Might Give US an Important Ally)

After crashing the British pound through massive currency manipulation in the 1990s, the megalomaniacal financier apparently turned to South America for his progressive experiments.

After crashing the British pound through massive currency manipulation in the 1990s, the megalomaniacal financier apparently turned to South America for his progressive experiments. I became aware of his presence while interviewing then-president in waiting Evo Morales in 2003 as his “social movements” tore up the country with violent strikes and blockades to chase out a pro-U.S. government. (RELATED: The Godfather of Global Disorder)

Meeting Morales at his offices in the capital, La Paz, I asked about his support from Cuba and Venezuela. Trying to deflect my questions, he answered, “I also get support from North American and European NGOs like the Open Society Foundation.”

Soon after Morales was elected president under the gun of his legions of militarized coca growers, radicalized miners, and other Cuban-managed groups threatening to paralyze the nation if Bolivians voted otherwise, a plethora of press articles appeared about all kinds of grandiose investments Soros planned in energy, agro industry, etc.

Soros was doing the exact opposite. No sooner had Morales entered the presidential palace flanked by Fidel Castro and Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chávez than Soros divested his controlling share in Bolivia’s largest silver mine, Cerro San Cristóbal, in an underhanded deal with the Japanese industrial conglomerate, Sumitomo.

Silver prices had been depressed for some time, and Sumitomo offered Soros a cozy deal to secure steady, cheap supplies of silver derivatives to make TV sets. Bolivia was interesting to them because of lax export duties under the free market administration that Soros was ousting.

Shorting Bolivia’s mining industry was a delicate task involving share swaps and other complex financial operations through “a labyrinth of offshore companies outside the Bolivian government’s control,” according to Bolivia’s ambassador to Japan at the time, Joaquin Dabdoub.

Legal records kept by a lawyer whose identity cannot be disclosed also show that Soros passed on his mine with a substantial unpaid tax bill, which Morales’s ferociously anti-capitalist, imperialist fighting, tree-hugging champion of the oppressed indigenous peoples’ government seemed to overlook.

Soros’s shady offshore maneuvers were those used by the oil companies in their privatization of Bolivia’s gas industry, which Morales viciously denounced and used as a pretext for their nationalization.

But Soros was protected. A Bolivian ex-army major and onetime security advisor to the San Cristóbal mine, Juan Ramón Quintana, became a close aide to Morales, funneling support from the Open Society Foundation to his MAS (Movement to Socialism) movement, proposing a new constitution that would devolve ownership of the nation’s natural resources to Bolivia’s 36 “original” Indian tribes (mostly extinct) that populated the territory prior to Spanish colonization.

The new magna carta approved at midnight in an army barracks besieged by enraged Bolivians, was brazenly meant to disenfranchise and dilute the rights of the majority mixed-race population, concentrating power in an unaccountable DEI-screened “indigenous” politburo. European progressive think tanks had a hand in drafting it.

Quintana was given the key post of government minister, bringing in a Cuban intelligence team to run electronic eavesdropping and surveillance operations out of the presidential offices as well as Iranian security advisors, according to U.S. State Department officials in La Paz.

Cuban agents took over the State mining enterprise COMIBOL, clearing the way for China to take control of Bolivia’s lithium while the rest of Bolivia’s mineral sector collapsed under new regulations enforced through “indigenous community justice.”

Meanwhile, Quintana safeguarded a vast expansion of cocaine production, arranging a safe haven for Mexican and Brazilian drug lords while persecuting political opponents, including leaders of independent mining cooperatives trying to make private deals with American companies.

He became ambassador to Cuba, returning to Bolivia to take charge of rigging the 2019 elections when his vote-hacking operations were uncovered and denounced by the OAS. He is now a fugitive from justice, along with Morales, holed up in the drug protectorate of Chapare.

Bolivia now has a new president who, despite a checkered background, has vowed to fix the broken state, which he described in a CNN post-election interview as “nefarious.” Corruption has reached such dimensions that government contractors sent to buy diesel abroad to mitigate Bolivia’s acute fuel crisis have absconded with the funds, leaving Bolivian truckers stranded. An aeronautical engineer proposing an industrial joint venture to manufacture light planes was ejected from the presidential offices because the kickback offered wasn’t nearly big enough.

As the economy grinds to a halt due to a lack of dollars, narcos are raking in cash from quadrupled cocaine production, and the head of the police anti-narcotics unit just got caught running a cocaine lab. The gold reserves of a country that mines gold are virtually empty. Gas wells have dried up for lack of investment, with their substantial revenues squandered on profligate public spending and graft. Bolivia’s new president-elect, Rodrigo Paz, traveled to Washington last week to beg for help from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, agreeing to allow the DEA back into Bolivia in return for desperately needed aid.

Trump recently ordered a long-overdue DOJ investigation into the Soros network’s connections with ANTIFA, designated as a terrorist organization. Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute told the White House in a public briefing that the Open Society Foundation has funneled more than sixty million dollars to ANTIFA-connected groups organized as a “Riot Inc.” (RELATED: DOJ Files Charges Against Antifa)

Shootings, attacks on police, and sieges of federal facilities have become daily routines in Portland, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other cities ruled by Democrat mayors, turning their urban jungles into new Chapares. New York City may be next, with the election of  Zorhan Mamdani funded by Soros through PACs linked to the Open Society Foundation, according to a Fox News investigation.

As in Bolivia, Cuba’s well-tested expertise in subversive violence is part of the program. There have been intensified exchanges between Havana and American far-left activists over the past year. Heads of the Salt Lake City chapter of Armed Queers implicated in the Charlie Kirk assassination have visited Cuba with other militant groups to meet with high officials to meet with top regime officials. According to a recent report by the Washington Examiner, Venezuela plunked down $20 million to start up BLM back in 2012. (RELATED: Queer Terror)

There are even echoes of Bolivia’s “Plurinational” constitution. The 1619 project promoted by Harvard and the New York Times, which advocates switching America’s founding date to the year that black slaves first landed, is obviously intended for building a case for nullifying the U.S. Constitution written by white settlers a century and a half later. When King Charles III recently inaugurated Canada’s parliament with a speech prepared by Liberal prime minister, globalist superstar, and U.N. Climate enforcer Mark Carney, his opening remarks were: “I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people.” (RELATED: O Canada!)

Soros’s zeal for disintegrating Western national identities, boundaries, and values is “reptilian,” as Nancy Pelosi characterized the relentless efforts by his state prosecutors to jail Trump.

Sorozilla is on the march and may well have taken over by now if Kamala Harris had won the 2024 elections, which she lost only by about two percent of the popular vote. With American Quintanas placed in the SEC, Treasury, the Pentagon, CIA, FBI, and all main government agencies, Soros could crash the dollar, short the stock market, and liquidate his assets in all kinds of deals with China. Previews of the cannibalistic orgy that might follow would best be reserved for the dark web.

Stopping Soros should remain a priority for the Trump administration and congressional conservatives. Lawsuits, investigations, indictments, and scandalous revelations may initially bounce off his thick, scaly skin of NGOs and shell companies. like the bullets and missiles hurled at Godzilla. In the movie, the monster finally succumbs to a B-1 air strike, and if equivalent legal action isn’t directed to crack the Soros network, there is a baby Sorozilla popping out of the eggshell who may yet unleash worse nightmares.
