TAYLOR SWIFT CALLS OUT SOROS FAMILY’S ‘SHAMELESS GREED’ IN BEEF WITH RECORD CO.


POP SUPERSTAR DRAWS CRITICISM AS WHITE SUPREMACISTS SEEN ASSOCIATING HER POST
WITH WIDESPREAD ANTI-SEMITIC CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT SOROS

JTA — Taylor Swift is drawing criticism for calling out “the Soros family” in an
Instagram post. It’s the latest salvo in the pop superstar’s ongoing battle with
her former record label.

The family long has been at the center of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about
Jewish domination of global banking. George Soros, a Hungarian billionaire and
liberal philanthropist, typically is the main target.

But his son Alex, the deputy chair of his father’s Open Society Foundations, an
international group that promotes liberal causes, has begun to feature in them
as well.




In a Twitter post in which the singer lashes out against a new album being
released by her former label, Big Machine Records, Swift claims that talent
manager Scooter Braun is using money taken from several sources, including Alex
Soros. The hugely popular singer has an ongoing nasty and public fight with Big
Machine Records.

Taylor Swift’s album “Lover”

Swift recorded her first six albums with Big Machine, but she left the label
before the release of her seventh, titled “Lover.” In June, the label sold the
original records of her songs, known as masters, to talent manager Braun. Swift
believes she should have been given the opportunity to purchase her own masters,
and has been pressing the case in interviews.

“After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalog
was sold to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings in a deal that I’m told was funded
by the Soros family, 23 Capital and that Carlyle Group,” Swift said in December.

Swift doubled down Thursday night on Instagram after she found out that Big
Machine was planning to put out an album of her live performances. She believes
they want to make more money off her during the coronavirus crisis.

Auction at Cipriani 42nd Street on Tuesday, June 6, 2017, in New York. (Photo by

Calling out the Soros family; Braun, the Jewish industry giant associated with
the likes of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande; and the private equity firms
involved in the sale, Swift wrote that the decision to release the new album is
“just another case of shameless greed in the time of Coronavirus. So tasteless,
but very transparent.”

To many people who viewed Swift’s post, Swift was invoking language that many
have used to signal anti-Semitic sentiments.

“Taylor Swift deploying a Soros dogwhistle is …… a choice,” Tara Mulholland, a
CNN producer, tweeted.





Swift, who is rarely on record about her political leanings, has previously
endorsed Democratic candidates and told Rolling Stone magazine after former
president Barack Obama’s election, “I’ve never seen this country so happy about
a political decision in my entire time of being alive. I’m so glad this was my
first election.”

At the same time, according to a 2016 Vice story titled “Can’t shake it off: How
Taylor Swift became a Nazi idol,” the singer has been adopted by a notable
number of white supremacists who see her as a sort of Aryan demigoddess. Alma
rounded up (but didn’t link to) some of the responses that make clear that some
are associating her post with widespread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about
Soros. (Also read this 2019 Alma piece to further understand Swift’s history
with American neo-Nazis. )

Bend the Arc, a Jewish progressive political advocacy group with which Alex
Soros is closely involved, tweeted a message to Swift on Friday afternoon.

“You have every right to be upset about others profiting off your music. But
PLEASE don’t share antisemitic conspiracy theories about the Soros family,” the
group wrote. “‘Shameless greed’ is a dog-whistle used against Jews. Your Jewish
fans deserve better.”

pain and dealing with the rest of my life
Rachelli Prawer

Some, to be sure, wish for a dog or a bunny, but it’s telling that more are

Dan Illouz

Agreeing to the establishment of a Palestinian state would be a setback that
rewards decades of terrorism and violence
Scott Kahn

The religious Zionists who advocate ’voluntary transfer’ are too confident that
the world – and God – will back them
Haviva Ner-David

from a violent fist, so cruelly before one’s time
