Soros denies "paying people to protest"

[Mark Crispin Miller]

Here ZeroHedge misleads us, as Soros has not denied "paying protesters to riot,"

as the headline claims. What "Soros denies" is "paying people to protest."

So now Soros should deny "paying people to riot" (which is what that "conspiracy

theory" claims). 

Once he denies that, too, we'll know for sure that all the "anti-fascist" violence that's followed many peaceful protests, with the police not doing anything to stop it, has no more to do with Soros than did the violence in Maidan Square, Kiev, in 2014, which led to the collapse of Ukraine's pro-Russian government, and the installation of a virulently anti-Russian junta set up by the US State Department, and a neo-liberal economic program of austerity.

Because George Soros would never be involved in anything like that.

Following accusations that paid protesters are hijacking the George Floyd protests and inciting riots, George Soros' Open Society Foundation has issued a rare statement claiming that [neither] he - nor anyone else - is funding the chaos.

Introducing the statement, Spokesman Michael Vachon writes:

Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms are being used to spread the now familiar and thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory that George Soros and the Open Society Foundations are paying people to protest, in this case over the murder of George Floyd. We are appalled by this attempt to delegitimize the genuine outpouring of anger and concern from people in the U.S. and around the world.
