Ten US Cities Join Globalist Urban Pact Against Sovereign Nations

Ten American cities on May 11 signed up as new members of the Pact of Free Cities, an avowedly anti-nationalist association dedicated to promoting globalism under the guise of protecting “democratic norms.” The organization’s roots unsurprisingly can be traced directly to the doorstep of notorious progressive internationalist billionaire George Soros.

Beaverton (Oregon), Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Montgomery (Alabama), Oklahoma City, San Antonio, San Diego, and Seattle have joined original US member Los Angeles to “share strategies with their European counterparts on how to defend democracy and fight authoritarianism,” as NPR put it in a May 21 article.

“I’ve joined the Pact of Free Cities because of the actions of the Trump administration that continue to not just have democratic institutions and democratic values backslide in our country, but also the destruction of long-standing relationships all over the world, but particularly with our European counterparts,” Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval declared.

As Pureval’s words exemplify, there’s nothing non-partisan about this urban pact. It is overtly dedicated to a “progressive” hard-left worldview that does not feel itself encumbered in any way by ties to the American nation-state.

‘Outdated Understanding of the Concepts of Sovereignty’

“The Pact is a progressive network of dynamic cities and empowered citizens that promotes pragmatism and inclusivity,” the mayors of its four founding Central European cities – Bratislava (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungary), Prague (Czech Republic), and Warsaw (Poland) – wrote in a 2019 article announcing the organization’s formation published by the European Council on Foreign Relations.

The piece decried the rise of “populists” who “claim to represent the nation but ignore the concerns of a substantial number of our citizens, not least those living in multicultural cities.”

The Pact clearly spelled out from the very beginning its hostility to individual national sovereignty.

“We reject the false promise to protect our people by walling ourselves off from the rest of the world. We do not cling to an outdated understanding of the concepts of sovereignty and identity, but believe in an open society based on our cherished common values of freedom, human dignity, democracy, sustainability, equality, the rule of law, social justice, tolerance, and cultural diversity,” the mayors proclaimed.

This is what 11 major US cities are now aligned with.

American Cities as Cogs in the Soros Machine

That belief in “an open society” part is no accidental wording. “To this end, we are proud to establish the ‘Pact of Free Cities’ – which is formally launching at the Central European University in Budapest” in December 2019, the mayors wrote.

Here’s the not-so-gotcha moment: Central European University just so happens to be the flagship academic institution founded by George Soros in 1991 to further his globalist agenda. In 2001, he fortified it with a $250 million endowment.

As Liberty Nation News has reported, Soros and other powerful internationalist institutions like the World Economic Forum place an enormously high value on weaponizing progressive-controlled cities, states and provinces within countries to chip away at nationalism throughout the West. The Pact of Free Cities fully follows in this vein. The inundation of America’s cities by waves of foreign migrants is a key tool in this effort.

“The interconnected nature of global threats, such as migration flows driven by conflicts, economic disparity, cost of life, housing, and public health emergencies, underscores the need for forward-looking urban policies,” The Pact’s 2025 Tirana Declaration, issued during the organization’s summit in Albania, reads.

National governments cannot be allowed to stand in the way of these enlightened urbanites. The Declaration called on nations to further this brave march into the forward future by “equipping cities” with “autonomy” on these issues.

Though it has been festering for quite some time, Americans are just starting to get the full-blown, undiluted experience of radical urbanite leftists running the show in cities like Boston, New York, and Seattle. In Europe, the urban radicals have been far more hardcore for much longer.

Sawsan Chebli is a leading political figure in Germany’s leftist Social Democratic Party. From 2016-2021, she served as Berlin State Secretary for Civic and International Affairs.

“When national governments curb democratic rights, racists and right-wing extremists walk the streets and dominate the conversation online, they are taking over both physical and societal space. And when this happens, words turn into deeds very soon. To stop this, democratic cities must support each other,” Chebli wrote in a 2020 “Diplomatic Pouch” article for Europe’s Diplomat magazine.

“And that’s what we do. Berlin supports Warsaw, Budapest, Prague and Bratislava [and the] recently formed Pact of Free Cities,” she exclaimed.

This is the ideological orbit inhabited by US mayors cut from the same cloth as Boston’s Michelle Wu or Seattle’s feckless Katie Wilson. This is the tyrannical reality behind the pleasant-sounding “democratic socialist” label that is an accepted political norm in blue-dominated US cities and states today. The anti-immigration law enforcement riots, runaway crime, homelessness and overall social and cultural decay are all part of one large push to weaponize urban America against the despised national republic.
