Freedom Outpost
We left off our last article about Obama’s Puppet Master, George Soros showing how he may well be connected to what many had once believed to be just a fictional idea of what is called the “Shadow Party.” Just the name of such an idea alone gives just cause for concern since it implies that our nation has a party running this nation behind the shadows! However, it is not such a “Shadow Party,” since many people associated with it have direct, or indirect, links back to none other than George Soros. Let us begin by showing just where the very idea of a “Shadow Party” has developed.
We begin this by disclosing what is known as the 527s, named after section 527 of the IRS Code. As shown below from Discover the Networks, the 527s, under George Soros, have taken a very hard left turn!
Historically, Republicans had enjoyed a 2-1 advantage over Democrats in raising hard money from individual donors. Democrats had relied much more heavily on soft money from large institutions such as labor unions.(David Horowitz and Richard Poe, The Shadow Party(2006), p. 176) Thus it seems counter-intuitive that Soros, who clearly favored Democrats over Republicans, would seek to push legislation whose net effect—the removal of soft money—would be unfavorable to Democratic Party fundraising efforts.
But Soros’s motive becomes clear when we look at the types of organizations whose fundraising activities were left unaffected by McCain-Feingold. These were “527 committees“—nonprofits named after Section 527 of the IRS code—which, unlike ordinary PACS, were not required to register with the FEC. Run mostly by special-interest groups, these 527s were technically supposed to be independent of, and unaffiliated with, any party or candidate. As such, they were permitted to raise soft money—in amounts unbound by any legal limits—for all manner of political activities other than express advocacy. That is, so long as a 527′s soft money was not being used to pay for ads explicitly urging people to cast their ballots either for or against any particular candidate, the letter of the McCain-Feingold law technically was being followed. Practically speaking, of course, such things as “issue-oriented ads” and “voter-education” ads can easily be tailored to favor one party or candidate over another, while carefully steering clear of “express advocacy.”
