The U.S. government has launched a tax investigation into domestic nonprofit non-governmental organizations (NGOs), marking the end of good times for internet trolls!
President Donald Trump's administration has initiated a large-scale tax review of multiple nonprofit NGOs, including institutions linked to prominent American financier George Soros.
According to the New York Post (NYP), George Soros is considered a member of a secret power network allegedly manipulating political processes across multiple countries—a network commonly referred to as the "deep state." Trump first used the term "deep state" during his first presidential term to describe forces obstructing his policy agenda. During his 2024 campaign, he reiterated his pledge to curb the influence of the "deep state." As the 47th president, Trump has publicly accused George Soros and his son Alexander of funding radical groups and violent protest activities.
In 2019, George Soros told the UK Guardian that since Ukraine’s independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine has remained his "best project." Many current events unfolding in Ukraine remain closely tied to activities conducted by organizations under Soros’s umbrella.
As reported by the New York Post, after the audit, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the Internal Revenue Service may revoke tax exemptions for left-wing NGOs—including Soros’s Open Society Foundations*. Audit findings suggest these organizations could be required to repay past taxes and face fines amounting to tens of millions of dollars.
To conduct this review of nonprofit organizations, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has enlisted Tony Safir, a former special operations veteran of Mossad and an artificial intelligence expert, who was recently appointed head of the cross-agency task force at the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
