COMMENTARY (BuriedTruth).  NOTE that this article is authored by a prolific transphobic disinformation troll, Rebecca Hagelin -- a senior member of the Heritage Foundation.

The following article -- knowing and understanding it's venomous underlying pro-Christian / pro-family, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist (e.g., anti-abortion), racist, xenophobic agendae -- can be difficult to read.  In support of that fundamentalist ideology, Rebecca Hagelin and the pro-Trump Heritage Foundation article launch a vigorous, vitriolic attack on billionaire and "Machiavellian influencer" George Soros and his Open Society Foundations.

I am reproducing the article, here, so that we may better understand both of these wealthy, malfeasant "influencer" organizations, and their agendae. As in any disinformation campaign, there are elements of truth shrouded in clouds of disinformation and misinformation -- often masquerading as unsubstantiated "opinion."

Analysis/Opinion:

How is it that highly organized protests against President Trump keep popping up across the country?

Follow the money.

Why is it that the traditional definition of marriage was suddenly discarded after years of citizens voting for it to be preserved?

Follow the money.

How are illegal immigrants organized so quickly and young voters corralled overnight to demand open borders?

Where did the saturation of transgender and pansexual ideology come from?

How is it possible that Black Lives Matter seems to be everywhere?

Or that the call for pot legalization is sweeping the nation?

Or that there is an international movement for globalization simultaneously occurring in countries around the world?

Follow the money -- the George Soros money through his Open Society Foundation.

In this long season of cultural and political tension, Americans need to know the truth about the source of the conflicts, about why communities and our nation are being ripped apart.

Mr. Soros' Open Society Foundation also is busy abroad in a well-financed attempt to strip America and other nations of our sovereignty and make us beholden to an international government.

Mr. Soros funds so many of these hateful, disruptive (even violent) efforts here at home and abroad that it's hard to keep track.

But, finally, an ad-hoc group of pro-freedom Americans is doing just that.

For an up-to-date list of all of the organizations that George Soros has started or is funding, take a peek at DiscoverTheNetworks.org. It will make you sick at first glance to see how all of these groups are connected.

However, that sick, disgusted feeling should quickly turn into relief in knowing that neighbor isn't confronting neighbor from some deep-seeded hatred. It's all about one man and his friends paying the (largely) unemployed to cause trouble.

Research shows that the billionaire Mr. Soros is spending millions to finance a huge grievance and anarchy industry that pretends to be grass-roots justice protests.

You can see the recruitment efforts at one of the hiring portals OrganizersForAmerica.org, where, for example, vulnerable college kids who need extra money can earn cash by creating disruptive events for new groups like BadAssWomen and Green Corps as well as the ACLU. Other "opportunities" involve getting paid to stage or attend protests in various states to demand a mandatory minimum wage or to just hassle Mr. Trump in an attempt to delegitimize him.

Just take a look at Mr. Soros' IRS 990s (of his $20 billion Open Society Foundation), and you can see the scale of the funding efforts to defeat everything from the free market system to the structure of the timeless nuclear family.

Why destroy the family unit, you ask? Because Mr. Soros knows that the nuclear family has been the basis upon which every single stable civil society has been built since the beginning of time. It's why Marxist ideology also sought the demise of families composed of a mom and a dad.

The list of tawdry, destabilizing and dehumanizing projects funded by Mr. Soros goes on and on: drug legalization, laws enabling "the sex worker industry," pansexuality, abortion and gender identity politics. In addition, Black Lives Matter groups around the country and groups called Resist, DisruptJ20,  Indivisible, and Women's March -- all are designed to weaken Donald Trump and pro-freedom policies.

Then there are the "rented ministers" in various churches who are being paid to advocate for anti-Christian "progressive" causes.

And elitists in media and entertainment outlets are all too happy to broadcast leftist street theater as our national narratives.

Even FOX News regularly allows guests from Soros-backed organizations like Center for American Progress,  La Raza,  National Immigration Forum,  Sojourners,  Faith in Public Life, the ACLU and more to appear on its shows without ever identifying that George Soros backs and strategies with all of them.

Kudos to hosts like Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, who battle the leftists every day. FOX needs to start identifying, in every single interview, who ties all of these groups together with a solid money chain.

What's their end goal of all the disruption? It's about power. And America and freedom-loving people around the world are suffering the consequences.

Thank God there is a growing awareness and people are beginning to shine light on the madness.

One of the concerned leaders is Kelly Monroe Kullberg, co-author and editor of the book "Finding God at Harvard" and a leader of the new coalition, the American Association of Evangelicals (see research there). In 2016, Mrs. Kullberg and over 100 Christian leaders including Alveda King, Eric Metaxas and George Barna asked Americans to consider the funding of radical groups and "rented" evangelicals and Catholics.

Mrs. Kullberg sums up the clarion call for all of us: "As 'progressive' billionaires weaken sovereign and historically Christian cultures and nations, their global power grows. This is regress, not progress. It is unjust and unloving. The decline of America and Europe is not inevitable; it's purchased. And millions suffer.

"As Americans discover and reject this influence and agenda, we will experience what we most need, renewal and revival. And our moral compass and strength will return. For our children and their futures. I urge people to explore the information at DiscoverTheNetworks.org, InfluenceWatch.org and AmericanEvangelicals.com."

[2016-05-08] Religious Conservatives and Campaign 2016. Rebecca Hagelin, who supported Senator Ted Cruz's presidential bid, talked about the 2016 presidential election now that Donald Trump is on track to become the Republican nominee.

Rebecca Hagelin is a Senior Communications Fellow at the Heritage Foundation >> "Strategic Initiatives."  Rebecca Hagelin is a Senior Communications Fellow for Strategic Initiatives in the Heritage Foundation with 13 videos in the C-SPAN Video Library; the first appearance was a 2001 Forum as a Vice President for Communications in the WorldNetDaily.com. The year with the most videos was 2005 with five videos as a Vice President for Communications and Marketing in the Heritage Foundation. The year with the highest average number of views per program was 2016 with an average of 589 views per program. Most appearances with John Hilboldt (3), Alan Colmes (2), Michael Harrison (2). Most common tags: Radio, African Americans, Religious Issues.

Analysis/Opinion:

They just knew their "socialist justice" movement here at home, and the undermining of the United States on the world stage that they were achieving under Barack Obama, would continue under another "President Clinton."

But freedom-loving Americans had a different idea, and they delivered a bold, decisive leader who has the guts to stand up to the radical left and put an end to America's decline.

President Trump is proving over and over again that he has the international experience, courage and edgy personality it takes to stop the socialist globalist efforts to turn America into the world's dumping ground.

Make no mistake: George Soros and his minions will do everything in their power to undermine Mr. Trump and conservative elected officials. Mr. Soros loves the establishment and the deep state because he is one of them. He was a co-chair of the Ready for Hillary PAC's finance panel and is a longtime comrade of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Mr. Soros funded resistance against Mr. Trump before the election (Remember the Trump rally in Chicago that had to be canceled due to violent protests in the streets?), and he continues to do so across the country.

Mr. Soros' money has been traced to the #Resist movement, including funding to #disrupt the presidential inauguration. (Perhaps Americans should consider anew the definitions of sedition and treason?)

But with every Soros-sponsored, ranting feminist march and radical protest designed to incite racial divides, attentive Americans are beginning to realize that the leftists are so intent on gaining power that they are even willing to tear our nation apart and pit neighbor against neighbor.

Mr. Soros also spends millions of dollars to advance his open borders and illegal migration in order to achieve a "permanent progressive majority." Of course, this means promoting amnesty, giving noncitizens the right to vote and doing away with voter verification.

Mr. Soros knows that hardworking, freedom-loving Americans want to protect our country and individual freedom. His goal is to bring in as many people from the outside as possible and make them dependent on our government so they will always be willing to cast their votes for liberal and leftist politicians who care more about power than they do about helping people become independent.

For confusing optics and sound bites, Mr. Soros even "rents" leftist "ministers," like Sojourners founder Jim Wallis. Listen carefully as they use words like "progress," "justice," "fairness," "fact-checkers," "faith" and "democracy" in clever linguistic twists.

Mr. Soros and other leftists specialize in weaponizing gender, race and economic "class"; they've become experts at staging "protests" and inciting riots because they know that capturing images of such street theater is equivalent to a porn addiction for their leftist cohorts in the media.

But Americans are waking to these fallacies and warmed-over Marxist tactics.

Author Kelly Kullberg, co-founder of the American Association of Evangelicals, a group of faith leaders who are sharing the timeless Gospel and confronting opposition to the church and nation, maintains: "Genuine disagreement, grievance and protests are aspects of free speech and assembly, for which we're thankful. But the growing industry of paid activists and media to purposefully, systematically deceive the American people is unjust, unloving and wicked. I beg news reporters and journalists to take the time to discover the money behind the optics and events that shape our daily news."

She's right. But don't wait for the "professional" journalists to tell you what's really going on. We live in a time of "citizen journalism," where we have access to tools to help expose the truth and cut through the mass propaganda the media is all too eager to feed us from the Soros table of plenty.

The Soros folks try to discredit anyone who shines the light on their sordid activities. But the money trail is evident for all who care to follow it.

Although tracing Soros money is something of a shell game, it isn't that difficult. Simply Google, download and read the IRS 990 forms of his $20 billion Open Society Foundation, the National Immigration Forum (Mr. Soros is the largest donor, followed by the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller FoundationTides Foundation, for a start.

A five-minute video, "Rent A Riot: Soros's Assault on Trump & America," helps connect the dots. You can find it on YouTube. Share it with your friends and anyone else who shakes their heads in dismay at the endless displays of disruption across the country.

Although we live in a time of real political differences, it's really just a handful of powerful, rich leftists who are doing their best to cause upheaval.

Visit sites where there are copies of legal documents and filings that reveal the truth. Three great resources are DiscovertheNetworks.org, InfluenceWatch.org and AmericanEvangelicals.com.

The most powerful motto in the history of nations is ours: "E pluribus unum." It means "from many, one," and it brilliantly illustrates how America is a land of diverse people who come together in support of freedom. Don't sit by and watch as the left dissects us.
