America’s George Soros
The Billionaire Funding Both the Media and the Anti-Trump Resistance
The Associated Press (AP) is not just another media agency. Far from it.
By supplying reports to thousands of newspapers, TV networks, and digital platforms, it shapes how the world perceives reality itself. It serves a crucial role in fact-checking, establishing itself as a guardian of truth in an age of “misinformation.” The AP claims to be an impartial institution. It claims to be a pillar of journalism standing above politics. It claims to deliver facts without an agenda.

The AP shapes global perception, claiming to be impartial and a guardian of truth, yet it wields immense influence over media narratives. |

These claims are entirely misleading. The AP cannot be trusted.
If unsure, let me guide you to a recent AP investigation bashing the Israeli government. At the end of the extensive piece, a subtle disclosure appears: “The Associated Press receives financial assistance from the Omidyar Network.”
This disclosure matters a lot. You see, Pierre Omidyar, the network’s founder, is not a neutral philanthropist. The billionaire uses his vast wealth to manipulate the media, fund activist movements, and support efforts to reshape American politics. Unlike other wealthy, influential figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, Omidyar, the founder of eBay, doesn’t seek the spotlight. He prefers to pull the strings from the shadows, funneling money into influence campaigns that disguise themselves as grassroots opposition. Few people know his name, and even fewer understand the extent of his power.
He is worth over $10 billion, and his fortune fuels a vast ideological machine designed to crush dissent. Through groups like the Justice Connection, Omidyar funds legal and strategic support for DOJ officials resisting Trump-era policies, effectively shielding the bureaucracy from executive authority. This isn’t democracy—it’s obstruction. With significant support from Omidyar’s Democracy Fund and George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, these groups paint any attempt to dismantle broken systems and programs as an authoritarian purge. Routine government shake-ups are portrayed as existential crises.
Soros’ influence is well-documented. Omidyar’s, by contrast, is hidden behind layers of think tanks, nonprofits, and media ventures. In just over a decade, his Democracy Fund has channeled nearly $425 million into transforming America’s political landscape, all under the pretense of “strengthening democracy.” In reality, it funds opposition research, drives DEI-centered narratives, and supports an activist ecosystem aimed at reinforcing a strict ideological order.
His foundation’s rhetoric is steeped in resentment, portraying America as a broken, oppressive system in need of radical change. The Democracy Fund’s website portrays the country as a dystopian hellhole on the brink of collapse. It argues, rather nonsensically, that progress is constantly met with “violence, oppression, and the manipulation of a rigged system.” Reading it, you’d be forgiven for thinking that we live in 1925, not 2025. Readers are told that the U.S. is at a “dangerous inflection point,” one that demands a sweeping “pro-democracy movement” to combat supposed anti-democratic threats. But make no mistake—this is a man who cares very little, if at all, about democracy.

After all, true democracy demands transparency, accountability, and a press that serves the people, not the powerful.
Through First Look Media, Omidyar owns The Intercept—a once-revered outlet that now serves as a mouthpiece for establishment narratives. Many years ago, The Intercept was an independent outlet that prided itself on real, meaningful journalism. However, those days are long gone. Today, it’s little more than a corporate propaganda machine, churning out absurd articles on transgender issues and white privilege. This shift, from rational, responsible journalism to shameless activism, occurred around the same time Omidyar assumed control.
Coincidence? Absolutely not.
His ownership of The Intercept is particularly significant given its role in managing one of the most explosive intelligence leaks in modern history—the Snowden files. The outlet was given classified NSA documents that Edward Snowden risked everything to expose. However, instead of releasing the full archive, The Intercept delayed its disclosures. It selectively published information and eventually shut down the entire collection in 2019.
The previous year, an FBI whistleblower by the name of Sibel Edmonds accused Omidyar of funding The Intercept not to protect press freedom, but to effectively undermine it. By controlling the Snowden leaks, she claimed that the Iranian-American was working to ensure that damaging revelations never came to light. According to Edmonds, The Intercept was never meant to function as a platform for transparency. It was a clever trap, essentially a means to lure whistleblowers into revealing themselves while enabling Omidyar’s empire to control what the public could and couldn’t see.
Again, this was no coincidence.
Omidyar’s ties to the surveillance state stretch back years. In 2009, just a few years before he reinvented himself as a free speech champion, he openly defended NSA spying. Omidyar even suggested that those who published “stolen” information should assist authorities in tracking down the leaker. This wasn’t a casual remark; rather, it was profoundly revealing, uncovering his true thoughts and motives.
When people discuss the Deep State, they’re often dismissed as conspiracy theorists or irredeemable whack jobs. But I ask, what is the Deep State if not an unelected network of power operating beyond the reach of the public? Labeling Omidyar a member isn’t unreasonable; in many respects, it’s quite rational. He’s a manipulator of epic proportions, a slippery figure shaping the world to fit his vision. Pierre Omidyar, America’s answer to George Soros, is the real threat to democracy.
Remember his name.
