Robert Redford and George Soros surely make one of the oddest couples in American pop culture. For most of us, Redford\u2019s all-American good looks evoke images of the dashing outlaw Harry Longabaugh, better known as the Sundance Kid. By contrast, Soros\u2019 gaunt visage, thousand-yard stare, thick Central European accent, levitating gray hair and megalomaniacal pronouncements weirdly echo those of the \u201cDr. Strangelove\u201d character in Stanley Kubrick\u2019s 1964 Cold War classic.<\/p>\n

The differences between these two men are only skin deep, however. Both owe allegiance to the far left. And both work quietly, in a sinister partnership, to flood U.S. media with anti-American agit-prop in the tradition of Michael Moore.<\/p>\n

Most of Redford\u2019s fans know nothing of his radical politics. Redford has successfully appropriated some of America\u2019s most beloved archetypes on the silver screen. Just as an earlier generation identified John Wayne with the manly spirit of the Wild West, baby boomers confuse Robert Redford with the American folk heroes he impersonated on celluloid, from the rugged frontiersman Jeremiah Johnson to the tough but good-hearted pistolero Harry Longabaugh.<\/p>\n

But Redford is no John Wayne. The Duke loved America. Redford threatened to leave America for good if George W. Bush won the 2004 election.<\/p>\n

Redford has been a major funder of leftwing filmmakers for decades. He provided seed money to help Michael Moore get started. His Sundance Institute, Sundance Film Festival, Sundance Cable Channel and Sundance Documentary Fund all specialize in promoting far-left films and programming.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the Soros connection comes in. On September 16, 2002, Robert Redford proudly announced at a press conference that he was launching a Sundance International Documentary Fund with $4.6 million in seed money from George Soros\u2019 Open Society Institute (OSI). The new fund would underwrite films aimed at \u201cpromoting social justice and social change.\u201d read more…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
