State Department Criticizes Russia for Closing Down the Soros Color Revolution Machine

• Prison Planet.com

On Monday Obama's State Department criticized Russia's decision to evict George Soros' Open Society Foundation.

"Today's designation of the Open Society Foundations and the Open Society Institute Assistance Foundation as so-called 'undesirable' organizations will only further restrict the work of civil society in Russia for the benefit of the Russian people," said State Department spokesman Mark Toner. "This action is yet another example of the Russian Government's growing crackdown on independent voices and a deliberate step to further isolate the Russian people from the world."

In November Russia put the Open Society Foundations and the Open Society Institute Assistance Foundation on a stop list of undesirable foreign NGOs.

Russia's General Prosecutor's Office said the Soros outfits represent "a threat to the foundations of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation and the security of the state."

The Soros "pro-democracy" track record includes underwriting color revolutions and stirring up social unrest in Serbia, Georgia, Egypt, Turkey, Macedonia and most recently Ukraine.
