Is George Soros Connected and Funding WikiLeaks?

Glenn Beck is working to tie George Soros to WikiLeaks. Back in April, Code Pink launched a campaign supporting WikiLeaks and the Army private behind the leaks, Bradley Manning. Soros has been constantly identified as someone who is funding Code Pink's efforts. Could this be one of the reasons, Code Pink has come out defending WikiLeaks?

In August, before the WikiLeaks leaks hit critical mass, Code Pink issued the following letter of support for WikiLeaks and Private Bradley Manning, the soldier who supposedly carried out these secrets on a media source labeled Lady Gaga music.

Private Bradley Manning, a 22 year old intelligence analyst with the US Army, stands accused of disclosing a classified video of American troops shooting civilians from an Apache helicopter. New evidence links Manning to the Afghan War Logs posted on WikiLeaks this week. He faces up to 52 years in jail. The whistleblower behind the Vietnam era’s Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg, has called Mr. Manning a “hero”.

We believe that without the efforts of people like Bradley Manning who risk prosecution to show the truth, the information we need to hold our government accountable may never be made public.

WikiLeaks’ founder says that the latest leak reveals “evidence of war crimes.” Yet just after the WikiLeaks release, Congress approved another $37 billion for the war in Afghanistan.

No soldiers involved in the videotaped killings of civilians have faced charges.

Now Beck is working hard to make a connection between WikiLeaks and George Soros. He does it by connecting another organization Soros funds, Open Society.

BECK: Then you have the Movement for a Democratic Society. Now what is the Movement for a Democratic Society? ... It's the adult counterpart of the Students for a Democratic Society. So it's like the Gray Panthers and the Black Panthers. The Gray Panthers are the old ones. Now, who's the guy who started SDS back in the 1960s? He's the guy who's now running the Open Society Institute for George Soros. Well, so, that's -- that's good.

WikiLeaks founders, when they started to talk about the need to raise $5 million, they said the only ones that had this kind of money that could do what they were looking to do was the CIA or George Soros. And they complained that the initial round of publicity had, quote, "affected our delicate negotiations with the Open Society Institute."

Now, I'm sure George Soros -- because he's come out and he has said he is so against this WikiLeaks thing. He is so against it. WikiLeaks advisory board member was the director of the China office of Human Rights Watch, which is Soros-funded. And the WikiLeaks editor -- you know he's hiding out in Great Britain -- he's represented by attorney Mark Stephens, which is weird, because Stephens also does pro bono work for the Open Society Institute. Isn't that weird, huh?
