It has been revealed that billionaire agent provocateur George Soros was behind the Women’s March on Washington on Saturday. The self-proclaimed “grassroots” march for women’s rights wasn’t so grassroots, after all. A New York Times writer recently uncovered evidence that the march was orchestrated by Soros in an effort to attack and undermine President Trump. Nytimes.com reports: The Guardian has touted the “Women’s March on Washington” as a “spontaneous” action for women’s rights. Another liberal media outlet, Vox, talks about the “huge, spontaneous groundswell” behind the march.

Having already signed a (mostly symbolic) executive order on Obamacare on Friday night, urging US agencies to "waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation" of provisions deemed to impose fiscal burdens on states, companies or individuals, Trump is preparing to unload a volley of many more executive orders.

Women around the globe have been taking to the streets today in protest against the new US president Donald Trump. In Washington DC, half a million people have been turning out to stand up for gender equality, healthcare for women and other issues thought to be threatened under Trump’s presidency.
