Maya Shankar, a White House adviser cultivating a team tasked with subtly influencing Americans’ behavior, previously worked closely with the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress, WND has learned. LOOK AT HER CONNECTIONS: While at Yale, Shankar founded and served as editor-in-chief of The Five, a magazine committed to social activism and social justice. Her magazine was sponsored by the Soros-funded Center for American Progress, or CAP. Shankar also was a member of the Student Advisory Board for Campus Progress, the campus wing of CAP. CAP has long been closely tied to the Obama administration. The center’s co-director, John Podesta, was co-director of Obama’s White House transition team. A Time magazine article profiled the influence of Podesta’s Center for American Progress in the formation of the Obama administration, stating that “not since the Heritage Foundation helped guide Ronald Reagan’s transition in 1981 has a single outside group held so much sway.” CAP is funded by Soros’ Open Society. Its board includes Van Jones, Obama’s former “green jobs” czar, who resigned in September 2009 after it was exposed he founded a communist revolutionary organization. Another primary CAP funder is the Tides Foundation. Tides is also a primary funder to radical groups such as MoveOn.org, Media Matters for America and the now defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. Michael Thomas, an economist at Utah State University, told FoxNews he is skeptical of a U.S. government team promoting nudge policies. “Ultimately, nudging … assumes a small group of people in government know better about choices than the individuals making them,” he said. PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE BETWEEN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE PEOPLE. CLEAR AND OBVIOUS.
