“Scores of ‘Free Palestine’ protesters across the United States took to the streets Monday to block major airports, highways, and bridges,” reports the Free Beacon. In progressive San Francisco, these protesters were allowed to block the Golden Gate bridge for five hours. Ambulances were blocked and people prevented from catching their flights or going to the hospital for surgery. “Those who are arrested will receive bail money and legal support from a left-wing dark money behemoth funded by George Soros,” reports the Free Beacon:
The protests, which took place in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, were organized by A15 Action, a newly formed group that worked to “coordinate a multi-city economic blockade on April 15 in solidarity with Palestine.” The group’s website directs users to a “bail and legal defense fund” hosted through ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s online fundraising juggernaut.
Th ActBlue web page explains that the donations users send goes to the Community Justice Exchange, which provides “money bail, court fees and fines” and other legal services to “community-based organizations … that contest the current operation and function of the criminal legal and immigration detention systems.” As the Free Beacon observes, the Community Justice Exchange is a
project of the Tides Center, a left-wing dark money network funded by Soros and other liberal billionaires.
The protesters, who organized the global event under the title A15, targeted economic “choke points” with the express purpose of causing as much financial disruption as possible, according to their website.
Ahead of the protests, A15 said it identified “major choke points in the economy” that it would “blockade” to “cause pain.” The group listed more than 50 participating cities, including Chicago, where dozens of protesters shut down access to the O’Hare International Airport for nearly an hour….Similar protests occurred in San Francisco—where protesters held up traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge—and in Oakland, Calif., where protesters blocked all lanes on Interstate 880. Philadelphia and New York City also experienced disruptions.
At the A15 protest on Wall Street, protesters were photographed wearing Hamas bandanas and flying Hezbollah flags. Banks located near the protest were vandalized with red spray paint and graffiti that read “Funder of Genocide” and “Free Gaza.” Those protesters later blocked the Brooklyn Bridge….The Tides Center houses a variety of left-wing groups, including the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. It funnels millions of dollars from wealthy donors to those groups.
The Tides Center is the “fiscal sponsor” of many progressive nonprofits, letting those nonprofits operate under its umbrella to evade registering with the IRS. One of those nonprofits is the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, which last year orchestrated an attempt to block a U.S. Maritime Administration ship bound for Israel. It also sponsors the Adalah Justice Project, one of America’s most outspoken Hamas supporters.
The progressive billionaires George Soros and Pierre Omidyar are among the Tides Center’s primary donors.
