Summary

This thread argues that George Soros's 1993 essay outlined a plan for NATO to reshape countries into 'open societies' aligned with Western liberalism, implemented through NGOs, IMF/World Bank pressure, and regime change operations that benefited multiple stakeholders. The author claims this framework labels any nation resisting Western influence as 'closed' and undemocratic, positioning populist or nationalist movements as threats.

    ๐ŸงตTHREAD: GEORGE SOROS, THE MASTERMIND Today's systems of NGOs isn't accidental - it was laid out in a vision 30 years ago by none other than George Soros. I joined @MikeBenzCyber on a livestream last night, where he was kind enough to walk us through the basics. As my bio says, I am just a tool builder. I am not a historian or academic. The information in this thread is common knowledge for many. It wasn't for me. I want to walk you through an essay which Mike pointed me to- a chilling essay written in 1993 by George Soros, "Toward a New World Order: The Future of NATO"

    The essay lays out a new mission for NATO after the cold war. NATO would no longer be a defensive alliance against Russia - that is obsolete. Instead, it would proactively go out and shape other countries into "open societies."

    Soros re-defined peace and security not as absence of war, but in terms of how many countries are "open societies." โ€œ๐‘ท๐’†๐’‚๐’„๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’”๐’†๐’„๐’–๐’“๐’Š๐’•๐’š... ๐’…๐’†๐’‘๐’†๐’๐’… ๐’‡๐’Š๐’“๐’”๐’• ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’‡๐’๐’“๐’†๐’Ž๐’๐’”๐’• ๐’๐’ ๐’‚ ๐’”๐’–๐’„๐’„๐’†๐’”๐’”๐’‡๐’–๐’ ๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’”๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐’•๐’ ๐’๐’‘๐’†๐’ ๐’”๐’๐’„๐’Š๐’†๐’•๐’š.โ€ In other words, NATO's new mission: if a country doesn't adopt Western-style capitalism and liberalism, NATO should step in... politically, economically, and eventually, militarily.

    ๐Ÿง  What is an "Open Society?" The term was coined by philosopher Karl Popper and expanded in this 1993 essay. Soros, of course, would go on to build a coalition of NGOs and interfere in the US Elections under his "Open Society Foundation" banner. Here are the elements of an "Open Society" in theory: ๐Ÿ”นDemocracy ๐Ÿ”นFree markets ๐Ÿ”นCivil rights ๐Ÿ”นMinority protections ๐Ÿ”นTransparency ๐Ÿ”นA "global" rules-based order In practice, Open Society means something very different. Let's go through the essay.

Translation: You're an open society if you accept our interpretation of pluralism and Western values. Otherwise, we'll label you "closed," even if your people elect their leaders or protect cultural traditions. And this gives us pretext to justify military actions on you.

    And if you dare to cut off that money spigot... in other words, if you practice any kind of populist principles or try and assert agency for your own nation: You are an enemy of democracy. Because George Soros said so. /Thread end ๐Ÿงต

    FINAL NOTE: Don't confuse George Soros's model of NATO promoting "open societies" with being anti-communist. Soros didn't oppose the Soviet Union because it was communist. He opposed it because it was nationalist. It resisted foreign influence and maintained centralized control over its own ideology and borders. His vision of an "open society" blends left-wing radicalism (identity politics, anti-tradition, anti-sovereignty) with globalist structures (NGOs, Western institutions, and transnational finance). The more you read his writings, the clearer it becomes that "Open Society" is a circular label for regimes that accept Soros-style politics. Anyone who resists this framework is cast as an enemy of "democracy." And if you're MAGA, that means you.
