Yes, Reuters themselves were conflicted on this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/reuters-flip-flops-on-suggestion-that-george-soros-funds-occupy-wall-street/2011/10/13/gIQAPasSiL_blog.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/reuters-f...
I’ll admit that it’s hard to prove. Soros surely didn’t fund it directly from his checking account.
I do think there’s good consensus that OCW was externally funded, and not genuinely organic.
- woah 9y agoConspiracy theorizing. Did it have anything to do with Pizzagate? I was involved in Occupy SF, and while it was somewhat dumb and pointless, it also had very broad support in certain circles. Lots of people who weren't actually on the ground in the camps brought lots of water and food and supplies every day. Do you think all those people later submitted expense reports to Soros?
- dogruck 9y agoI don’t doubt that Occupy SF had broad support from “certain circles” in SF. I also don’t doubt that a significant number of everyday people joined the cause and contributed resources.
