Surgical attempts to save his life were unsuccessful, and he died from injuries a week later.<\/p>\n<p>Citizens who are fed up of with an oppressive police force which has an awful track record of abuse and brutality, especially towards the black community, took to the streets to make their voices heard upon the announcement of his death.<\/p>\n<p>However, since his funeral on Monday April 27, protests have turned violent with Baltimore now engulfed in riots which have left the city resembling a warzone. Looting local businesses, trashing vehicles and destroying public property have heavily brought into question the protestors\u2019 motives of such an aggression and how this helps the situation but it becomes a lot clearer when we see who is behind it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What everybody needs to realize is that these riots are not just spontaneous uprisings from a handful of civilians<\/strong>, <strong>nor some organic social movement but rather a systematically funded political endeavor by billionaire George Soros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The sad fact of the matter is that the rioters who believe they are fighting for social justice are being funded and played by the very people they are protesting against.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ferguson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just a few months ago, it was revealed that Soros gave at least $33 million in one year to support already-established groups that emboldened the grassroots, on-the-ground activists in Ferguson, according to the most recent tax filings of his nonprofit Open Society Foundations.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Times <\/em>revealed that Soros pumped millions into groups that transported protesters to Ferguson from around the United States and coordinated campaigns to keep it as a leading topic across the country\u2019s media outlets.<\/p>\n<p>The article by the <em>Washington Times<\/em> stated:<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/george-soros\/\">Soros<\/a>-sponsored organizations helped mobilize protests in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/ferguson\/\">Ferguson<\/a>, building grass-roots coalitions on the ground backed by a nationwide online and social media campaign.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/george-soros\/\">Soros<\/a>-funded groups made it their job to remotely monitor and exploit anything related to the incident that they could portray as a conservative misstep, and to develop academic research and editorials to disseminate to the news media to keep the story alive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The director of Soros\u2019s fund said that they have no direct control over the groups they give to, and said they are all trying to improve accountability.<\/p>\n<p>He told the Washington Times: \u201cHelping groups combine policy, research [and] data collection with community organizing feels very much the way our society becomes more accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe incidents, whether in Staten Island, Cleveland or Ferguson, were spontaneous protests \u2013 we don\u2019t have the ability to control or dictate what others say or choose to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Money from Soros went towards creating and driving key \u2018buzzwords\u2019 and online campaigns to embed Ferguson into the national consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>One recipient of his funding is the Organization for Black Struggle, which in turned established a group called the Hands Up Coalition, that has helped make ubiquitous the \u2018hands up, don\u2019t shoot\u2019 slogan.<\/p>\n<p>The article continues:<\/p>\n<p><em>The plethora of organizations involved not only shared <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/george-soros\/\">Mr. Soros<\/a>\u2018 funding, but they also fed off each other, using content and buzzwords developed by one organization on another\u2019s website, referencing each other\u2019s news columns and by creating a social media echo chamber of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/facebook\/\">Facebook<\/a> \u201clikes\u201d and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/twitter\/\">Twitter<\/a> hashtags that dominated the mainstream media and personal online newsfeeds.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Buses of activists from the Samuel Dewitt Proctor Conference in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/chicago\/\">Chicago<\/a>;
