Bangalore, India — In a sweeping operation that rocked the international NGO world, India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided eight locations linked to George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) and its economic arm, SEDF, over serious foreign exchange violations.
The raids, carried out under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), target what Indian authorities claim is a network of unlawful foreign funding, funneled under the guise of consultancy fees and investment. Reports indicate Soros' organizations allegedly routed over $3 billion into Indian NGOs despite being restricted by India's Ministry of Home Affairs since 2016.
"They used FDI as a cover," one official told Indian media, suggesting a long-term scheme to bypass legal oversight and push agendas through shadow donations.
Soros’ Global Agenda Now Under U.S. Scrutiny
While India cracks down on Soros-backed entities, Republican lawmakers in the U.S. are investigating his recent acquisition of over 200 radio stations via Audacy Inc. The $415 million deal, rushed through by the Biden-era FCC, has alarmed GOP officials who worry it could give Soros direct influence over the 2024 election media narrative.
Rep. James Comer and Rep. Nick Langworthy accused the FCC of skipping standard review processes. “This isn’t just media control. This is election interference by stealth,” one GOP lawmaker said after meeting with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr.
Foreign Influence at Home and Abroad
Critics argue Soros’ operations—from radio station takeovers to secretive NGO funding pipelines—represent a coordinated strategy to influence democratic outcomes from within. Whether in the U.S. or India, both governments now appear to be waking up to the scale of his financial footprint and its potential consequences.
As this story develops, one question remains: Who really controls the narrative?
India cracks down on Soros. The U.S. might be next. Stay tuned — this is just getting started.
