Texas Man Who Murdered 6 People, Bailed Out by Soros Funded Non-Profit Texas Organizing Project

Texas Organizing Project (TOP), a nonprofit bankrolled by liberal billionaire George Soros and Houston Democrat Commissioner Rodney Ellis who both have provided a combination of over $1.7 million to the left-wing group that previously bailed out Shane James, the individual charged with killing 6 people in Texas, including his parents.

In January 2022, James was charged with aggravated assault against his mother, father and sister, Fox San Antonio reported. Bail records showed he was bonded out by the Texas Organizing Project, a nonprofit that concentrates solely on progressive issues that helped elect Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales, county Sheriff Javier Salazar, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, and many other progressive politicians in the state of Texas.

"The Texas Organizing Project, like its major donor, Mr. Soros, thinks that our justice system is an arbitrary social construct that can be torn down and reshaped however they see fit with no consequences," the Capital Research Center's Parker Thayer told Fox News. "There are always consequences, and this time, six people lost their lives because a billionaire wanted to feel morally superior by funding activists with too many college degrees and not enough common sense."

The Open Society Policy Center, the advocacy nonprofit in the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations network, provided $700,000 to the Texas Organizing Project in 2019 for organizational support. 

Later, in 2021, the policy center gave the group $565,000 to "support policy advocacy on democracy reform and government accountability in Texas," according to its grant database.

Soros' cash accounted for a sizable chunk of the group's reported money in both of those years. According to the Texas Organizing Project's tax forms, the group pulled in $2.3 million in donations in 2019, meaning the $700,000 from the Soros nonprofit accounted for roughly 30% of its cash that year. And in 2021, the Texas Organizing Project received $2.4 million, with the Soros contribution making up nearly a quarter of its contributions. 

The Texas Organizing Project said it was "profoundly saddened and deeply troubled by the tragic events" in a lengthy statement following the deadly shootings.

"Texas Organizing Project (TOP) is profoundly saddened and deeply troubled by the recent tragic events involving Shane James," the group said. "We condemn his most recent egregious acts, full stop. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the victims and their families during this incredibly difficult time."

"Through our justice program, we bailed out James in coordination with the Bexar County's public defender's office, nearly two years ago in February 2022 on misdemeanor charges where his bond fees totaled $300," it continued. "The events that have unfolded are devastating, and we recognize the pain and suffering this incident has caused. We take our responsibilities seriously and acknowledge that we must address both the immediate impact of this tragedy and the broader implications for our bail program."

In November 2022, it was revealed that TOP had reportedly paid several criminal defendants which it had bailed from Bexar County jail to work on political campaigns in the state. According to News 4 San Antonio reporter Jaie Avila, there was a recorded conversation in which TOP statewide policy coordinator Laquita Garcia and TOP staffer Greg Williams spoke with a man the former two believed to be a criminal defendant TOP had bailed out, but who was in reality someone connected to the state’s bail bond industry

Reportedly, the conversation involved TOP staffer Williams commenting, “We have certain asks of people that we bail out…The certain ask is, this is getting into election time, and we have people out here canvassing for us that we bailed out, they’re making twenty dollars an hour

Campaign finance reports show that TOP has performed canvassing for the campaigns of several state political candidates including Democrat candidate Rochelle Garza, whom ran for Texas state attorney general in 2022 before losing to Republican incumbent Ken Paxton, and Baxton County sheriff Javier Salazar in 2020. 5 6 Finance reports also show that TOP received a $5,000 contribution in August 2022 from Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales. In addition, TOP had previously contributed towards canvassing for Gonzalez’s campaigns as well, with roughly $76,710 spent towards his 2018 campaign and another $27,702 towards his 2022 campaign. Gonzalez was reelected as Bexar County D.A in November 2022, but his office released a statement claiming, “My office does not engage in “quid pro quo” in any manner . . . Neither my office nor my campaign staff have provided direction to or have any influence over Texas Organizing Project’s PAC recruiting, hiring, or training practices for their canvassers or their program for defendants who are bonded out.

TOP has representatives in all the large counties, and cities in the state of Texas. Most, if not all of the cities and counties the organization has presence in have all suffered greatly from the policies they’ve managed to push through from the help of their billionaire progressive donors. Most of the donors do not live in the state in which their money has been distributed to, so they aren’t the ones suffering from high crime rates.

What many people are not aware of is Texas Organizing Projects close connections to the former nonprofit organization ACORN. ACORN was an Obama and Holder connected nonprofit involved with a nationwide controversy in the fall of 2009 after James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles secretly recorded, and released videos of interactions with low-level ACORN personnel in several of their offices. In the videos, James poses as a pimp attempting to start a brothel with underage immigrant girls from Central America. In which ACORN personnel attempt to help James with housing his brothel. After the videos were released to the public, the organization was forced to close. But did the organization really close? Texas Organizing Project was formed in Texas by the same people who started ACORN.

Is TOP only focused on Bail Reform in the State of Texas? No, the organization is involved in various social issues and has been a driving force in installing their progressive proxies into local governments in order to achieve their progressive/maxist goals.

EDUCATION:

The former Texas ACORN chapter has a new name and a scheme to collect donations and divert them for political use in a way that abuses tax laws governing charitable organizations, according to a Washington-based public interest group.

Cause of Action, a nonprofit taxpayer watchdog, charged in a letter to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration that the tax-exempt Texas Organizing Project (TOP), formed from the ashes of scandal-ridden ACORN, is using money funneled to it by a closely associated group called the Texas Organizing Project Education Fund for political activity.

The fund gave nearly 80 percent of its revenues -- approximately $640,000 -- to the advocacy group in 2010, leading Cause of Action officials to believe its reason for being is to raise charitable donations to send to TOP, which is permitted to fund political activity. TOP has used its website to solicit support for Mary Ann Perez, a Democrat running for state representative.

“Fiscal sponsorship [has allowed TOP and TOP ED] to use a loophole in the tax code to engage in improper political activities under the radar of the IRS,” Dan Epstein, executive director of Cause of Action, said to FoxNews.com. “Cause of Action is asking the IRS to investigate these groups for potential abuses of their tax-exempt status, and to hold them accountable for any violations they find.”

"Texas Organizing Project Education Fund is abusing this privilege by not sponsoring an individual educational project, but rather sponsoring an entire political entity, the Texas Organizing Project. TOP ED should suffer tax penalties for essentially existing as a channel through which money is being directed to a political organization, but the IRS is either intentionally overlooking this abuse, or is unaware of it," Epstein added.

This marks the third such investigation that the watchdog group has called for accusing other re-branded ACORN branches of being engaged in similar activities.

“While fiscal sponsorships are legal, it is not legal for a 501(c)(3) organization, such as TOP ED, to give any money to an organization that engages in political activity, without triggering various tax consequences,” reads the letter signed by senior counsel for Cause of Action.

The public advocacy watchdog group also claims in the letter that TOP and TOP ED are an example of former state chapters of ACORN re-branding themselves in the wake of controversies that led to the national parent group shutting down in 2010. Cause of Action claims the defunct non-profit instructed “its affiliates to funnel tax-deductible and/or taxpayer dollars to ACORN over a 40-year period.”

"After ACORN became subject to public scrutiny, and eventually filed for bankruptcy, it re-branded many of its state chapters in order that those organizations could continue pursuing ACORN’s goals," Cause of Action officials said. "TOP is the reconstituted ACORN in Texas.”

Durrel Douglas, a spokesman for TOP ED, responded in a written statement.

"We are not familiar with Cause of Action here in Texas. They have clearly misread our IRS filings, otherwise they would know that the Texas Organizing Project Education Fund does not fiscally sponsor the Texas Organizing project," he said adding that the organizations share overhead costs and follow the same reporting guidelines as numerous other non-profit groups across the country.

"Given that this is an election year, it is unfortunate that this inaccurate reading of our filings seems to be a matter of politics, not the law.”

Spokesmen for both the IRS and Treasury Inspector General declined to comment on the letter or any resulting investigation.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:

Texas Organizing Project is behind the new ENHANCED libary cards, which is just facilitating and enforcing illegal immigration in our state.

It has become a common occurrence for TOP organizers to show up to Harris County Commissioners court amongst other counties to harass the Republicans. TOP will hand out scripts and talking points to the protestors in which the facts are heavily skewed and the protestors usually go off script claiming that the Republican commissioners are “racist” if they do not fall in line with the progressive agenda. Below you can watch a video of a TOP organizer informing me that the local politicians call them and how highly connected the organization is. Basically, these people are nothing but paid protestors in order to give politicians like Rodney Ellis sound clips for the news in court.
