Syndicate to spread "free" op-eds subjects in corporate media to influence what people think. But 'he who pays the piper calls the tune' - in this case mostly George Soros and Bill Gates.

According to its own description, Project Syndicate "produces and delivers original, high-quality commentaries to a global audience. Featuring exclusive contributions by prominent political leaders, policymakers, scholars, business leaders, and civic activists from around the world, we provide news media and their readers cutting-edge analysis and insight, regardless of ability to pay. Our membership includes over 500 media outlets – more than half of which receive our commentaries for free or at subsidized rates – in 156 countries."

This own description sounds very positive and selfless. However, this means nothing else than that the syndicate wants to influence what people discuss and think, influencing global public opinion and political leaders, and present that as "for free."

To see "who pays the piper and calls the tune" look at the sponsors listed below. The project is particularly connected to George Soros.

A large number of its articles and comments make it into the corporate media. The desired narratives are picked up and disseminated, often indirectly, and the reader or viewer does not even find out whose opinion they are being presented with as “news”. All in all, Project Syndicate is a very effective (and at the same time very inexpensive) propaganda tool.

People

For Project Syndicate, "democracy" means that people get to choose from candidates accepted by the PS sponsors

On COVID-19, the Bill Gates funded Project Syndicate defines political priorities

The "members" in the metadata (top left on page) refers to the Board and some staff members per 2021 and the Board for 2008. Most of them have some sort of client relationship with George Soros.

Project Syndicate has around 80 authors who submit opinion commentaries on a regular or monthly basis. Although some of its authors (Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, George Soros, Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum) are also among its foundation funders, Project Syndicate doesn't routinely display any kind of disclosure notice associated with its articles. Bios for authors are frequently PR blurbs emphasizing positive associations while not revealing potential conflicts of interest, such as the following bio for Tony Blair:

"Tony Blair was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007. Since leaving office, he has founded the Africa Governance Initiative, the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, and the Faith and Globalization Initiative."

Event	Description
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation	Very influential and rich foundation established to take leadership of global health.
Google News Initiative	Google and the deep state buying domination over corporate media and creating tools to censor independent voices.
Open Society Foundations	A NGO operating in more countries than McDonald's. It has the tendency to support politicians (at times through astroturfing) and activists that get branded as "extreme left" as its founder is billionaire and bane of the pound George Soros. This polarizing perspective causes the abnormal influence of the OSF to go somewhat unanswered.
