The Biden Administration has again stumbled its way into creating an international fiasco, this time it’s Secretary of State Blinken.
Antony Blinken, Biden’s secretary of state has been beating the drum for a horrific stain on Albania and it’s all for George Soros!
As all the various ways that installed president Joe Biden’s administration is methodically going about destroying America continues unabated, and Biden with each passing day seems less aware of what is happening around him.
Blinken, since taking office upon Biden’s election, sanctioned former Albanian President and Prime Minister Sali Berisha, who has been in opposition for eight years and is a strong opposition voice against Soros’ Open Society Foundations, which has been pushing for “reform” in the country.
The US Secretary of State called Berisha “corrupt” in both a tweet and a statement in April 2021, in addition to accusing him of “undermin[ing] democracy in Albania” and banning him and his family from visiting the US.
“Former President of Albania Sali Berisha’s corrupt acts undermined democracy in Albania. I am publicly designating Berisha and his immediate family members as ineligible for entry into the United States. We remain #UnitedAgainstCorruption with our partners in Albania,” Secretary Antony Blinken wrote.
Is Secretary of State Antony Blinken actively doing George Soros’s work?

It was not a justified act on the part of Blinken. Furthermore, Berisha is known for standing up to communism in a former communist country. Berisha resisted.
Berisha spoke from Tirana, Albania in a phone call, “Never in my life was I accused by a person or an institution of corruption, the opposite was true. I worked very closely with the US government in fighting corruption.”
Richard Grenell, President Trump’s former Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy, penned an article for the ACLJ in November of 2021.
Interestingly, Blinken’s parents are proponents of George Soros’s Open Society. As Grenell notes:
Berisha has slammed the actions by the State Department as the work of radical Left billionaire George Soros and his Open Society, an organization that claims to promote transparency and human rights in the Balkans. The ACLJ and our international affiliate, the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), have been exposing Soros’s outsized, radical – and what some might call corrupt – influence on the world stage.
Berisha’s claims regarding Secretary Blinken and Soros should not be dismissed so quickly. The U.S. Secretary of State’s parents, Vera and Donald Blinken, have repeatedly donated to Open Society, even creating a permanent endowment at a European-based data archive that carries their name – The Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives.
Congressman Lee Zeldin (NY-1), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, recently confronted Secretary Blinken on his sudden sanctioning of Berisha. Secretary Blinken conveyed little confidence when asked for justification, stating “I don’t have anything to share.” While Blinken offered platitudes of follow-up for the Committee, no such information, or evidence, has been submitted. The circle-back saga continues.
At present, the only evidence we know of is Berisha’s staunch opposition to Soros’s political interference, which Mr. Berisha has decried as circumventing the rule of law and informal influence over the entire Balkans region. Mr. Berisha himself in 2017 called on major governments to investigate Soros’s role in regional politics and went so far as to encourage others to declare Soros “non-grata.”
Secretary Blinken now faces a new challenge to his authority in the form of international courts. Last week, the Correctional Tribunal of Paris announced that it would hear Berisha and his claim that Blinken has defamed his reputation by declaring him persona non-grata.
And Berisha has a point. These U.S. travel sanctions that Blinken has used against Berisha are typically a move reserved for some of the world’s most blatant, evidence-backed violations of international norms and human rights, including that of the likes of Russian oligarchs. Yet Berisha has been a friend to the U.S. and has even been hosted by both Presidents Bush.
Grenell went on in his article to say that “The American people, and the world, should question if they were sold a false promise by the Biden Administration. This is an Administration, after all, that promised us “a return to normalcy.””
