The organization behind warnings this week that the wealthy are buying secret hideaways in preparation for riots and civil unrest was founded by billionaire elitist George Soros.

In two separate interviews, economist Robert Johnson revealed that the mega-rich were buying land and airstrips in remote places in order to prepare for a coming social uprising which will be caused by growing income inequality.

"I know hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway," said Johnson.

In a subsequent interview, Johnson expanded on his comments, telling RT, "A lot of wealthy and powerful people are quite afraid right now – they see us on an unstable trajectory….As the system doesn't have proper resources, as it doesn't represent people, things are getting more and more dangerous as say Ferguson, Missouri brings to bear."
