Drug decriminalization kills, but George Soros keeps pushing it

Does George Soros want Americans dead? 

It’s hard to come up with another reason for Soros’ Open Society Foundation funding the think tank driving a legislative push for the insane Drug Policy Reform Act.

That bill would kibosh federal criminal penalties for possession of heroin, coke and other hard drugs, among other disastrous moves. 

Pushing this latest attack on American society is the Drug Policy Alliance, the recipient (along with its advocacy arm, Drug Policy Action) of millions in Open Society bucks. 

The Alliance played a pivotal role in shaping the bill, which enjoys co-sponsorship from Squad members Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and was recently re-introduced in the House. 

This, as America’s overdose crisis climbs to epic proportions. 

Overdoses killed more than 106,000 Americans in 2021, even as the Drug Policy Alliance was screeching for federal decriminalization. 

The annual toll has surely grown worse since, what with the endless flood of fentanyl across our southern border and the emergence of new killers like tranq. 

(We have Soros partly to thank for that, as well: His money also funds outfits to that fight to keep our border open.)

Around the country, cities are reeling from and regretting their own failed experiments with decriminalization.

Look at Oregon, where progressives passed decriminalization via Measure 110 in 2020 — only to see crime and homelessness soar, turning the state into the national leader on prescription opioid and meth abuse. 

Now many Oregon progressives want the measure overturned. 

Or at San Francisco, which eased up on drug prosecution almost to de facto decriminalization, creating a similar humanitarian catastrophe — prompting a belated and so far ineffective effort to fight back.

Even Portugal, a global pioneer of this monstrous strategy, is now having second thoughts as addiction skyrockets and crime climbs. 

This isn’t hard: cocaine, heroin and (above all) synthetic opioids kill.

Policies that remove meaningful consequences for their possession and use simply enable dealers and self-destructive addicts alike, leading only to more carnage.  

Activists like Soros and his foundation flunkeys who back such policies have blood on their hands.
