Myanmar Military Seizes George Soros Bank Accounts, 3547

Good evening, I’m still reporting on the coup.
The military government in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, which seized power after widespread accusations of voter fraud plagued the country’s recent election, has now seized the bank accounts of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
After taking control of the country earlier this year, the Myanmar military government has also issued arrest warrants for 11 members of the Soros organization in the country “on suspicion of giving financial support to the civil disobedience movement against the military junta.”
The government will also take legal action against the Open Society Foundations, saying they violated “restrictions on the activities of such organizations” when they recently deposited $5 million into their Myanmar bank accounts to help foment unrest against the new government.
The Soros group and Hillary Clinton had ties with recently ousted Myanmar State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi:
Clinton advised her to contest a parliamentary seat in the 2012 Burmese elections, which Aung San Suu Kyi ultimately did, kickstarting the latter’s formal political career in Myanmar.
Aung San Suu Kyi also received strong support from then-President Barack Obama, who routinely advocated for her release from house arrest. Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested repeatedly during the 1990s and 2000s for “subversive acts”, following her involvement in riots against the Myanmar government.
Obama awarded her the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal in 2012, to boost her profile at home and abroad. Ultimately, the Obama administration engineered Aung San Suu Kyi’s rise to power in 2015, by placing sanctions on Myanmar and insisting on only removing them if Aung San Suu Kyi was given a political role in the country.
George Soros and his global NGO network, also strongly supported her “progressive” activities.
Myanmar recently banned Facebook and Twitter in the country after their platforms used their algorithms to promote anti-military protests following the military takeover, according to reports.
I’m still reporting from just outside the citadel of world freedom. Good day.
