Crony Capitalists, Local Pols, and Refugee Resettlement

Chris Berg, Valley News Live

It took a heroic local news anchor from Fargo, North Dakota to expose the fact that crony capitalists have banded together in a "nonprofit" foundation to bribe the political classes of small U.S. cities to support and promote "refugee resettlement" in their cities. The Partnership for a New American Economy, whose board includes the likes of Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Steve Ballmer (former CEO of Microsoft), and Bob Iger (CEO of Disney), acting in conjunction with the George Soros-funded Welcoming America, has bestowed Gateways for Growth Awardson Fargo and 19 other cities "to support the development and implementation of multi-sector strategic plans for welcoming and integrating new Americans."

The news anchor's reactions to some of his revelations are priceless.
