Soros and Koch Funding New 'Anti-War' Think Tank

• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Danielle Ryan

There's a new "anti-war" think tank coming to town. It will promote a new US foreign policy — one based on diplomacy instead of sanctions and war. Sounds great, until you hear it's being funded by Soros and Koch.

The 'Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft' will oppose Washington's "endless wars" and will "challenge the basis of American foreign policy in a way that has not been done in at least the last quarter-century," according to co-founder Trita Parsi.

With financier George Soros coming from the left (though he's hardly a real leftist) and industrialist Charles Koch coming from the right, everyone is supposed to applaud the bipartisan nature of the initiative. The Boston Globe called it "one of the most remarkable partnerships in modern American political history" as though the two billionaire businessmen come from alternate universes.

The Globe notes that promoting an anti-war message is "radical notion," given that nearly every major think tank in Washington currently promotes "some variant of neocon militarism or liberal interventionism."
