(Discern Report)—Billionaire George Soros’ Southampton Village estate in New York was reportedly targeted in a swatting incident on Saturday, joining a list of high-profile individuals who have recently fallen victim to similar 911 pranks.
According to the New York Post, the Southampton Village Police Department received a 911 call around 9 p.m. on Saturday, claiming a shooting incident and a threat of suicide at Soros’ mansion on Old Town Road. Officers responded promptly, but the call turned out to be a false alarm, as confirmed by Southampton Village Detective Sergeant Herman Lamison.
The police radio traffic recording obtained by the Post revealed that officers spoke to security, conducted a thorough search, and concluded that there was no real problem at the location.
George Soros has been known for supporting various far-left prosecutor candidates, such as Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, Kim Foxx in Chicago, and former DA Kim Gardner in St. Louis, as part of his broader efforts to reform the criminal justice system.
Beyond supporting prosecutors, Soros has contributed to overhauling the criminal justice system through organizations like the Open Society Policy Center. This Soros-funded advocacy nonprofit directed $15.18 million to Future Forward USA Action in 2022 for research and content testing on critical policy issues. Future Forward USA Action, affiliated with President Biden’s main outside super PAC for the 2024 elections, has been linked to evaluating key policy matters.
Notably, Soros is the latest prominent figure to experience a swatting incident in recent weeks. Other targets include Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, whose home was swatted after she disqualified former President Trump from the state’s 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot. Republican U.S. Reps. Brandon Wiliams and Marjorie Taylor Greene were swatting victims on Christmas Day, and Ohio Republican state Rep. Kevin D. Miller reported a swatting incident on Tuesday.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
