The Puppet-Master Myth

One living financier recast as the funder of everything his critics dislike — a trope older than his name, documented by researchers as a recycled scapegoat archetype.

The puppet-master myth: the pattern of attributing all protest, migration, and unrest to one financier — currently George Soros, previously the Rothschilds, always structurally the same figure. Documented: Soros' Open Society Foundations really do fund civil-society organizations (budgets public); the leap to 'paid crisis actors' and orchestrated caravans has repeatedly failed fact-checks, and the trope's lineage from classic antisemitic templates is documented by the ADL and historians. The map files this as its live specimen of the Protocols template regenerating.
