The 'Offended' 911 Group “Peaceful Tomorrows” is funded largely by Teresa Heinz

“Peaceful Tomorrows” is being portrayed as an independent group of relatives of victims of the 911 attacks. They are getting a lot of press claiming to be outraged over the new Bush ads.

Call me insensitive if you like, but I wonder if this outrage could possibly be a tad overblown, and more likely attributable to the millions and millions of dollars this group has received from endowments chaired by Teresa Heinz, wife of Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry.

According to their own contribution page, “Peaceful Tomorrows is a project of the Tides Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.”

According to an article in the Pittsburgh Review, “Between 1995 and 2001, $4.3 million of that money came from the Howard Heinz Endowment. In 2002, it and the Vira Heinz Endowment blessed The Tides Center, a San Francisco spin-off of the Tides Foundation, with another $190,000 while the two endowments gave $1.6 million to the new Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania.” (The Heinz Endowments have teamed up with a secretive left-wing group)

The money that flows into The Tides also flows out. They have given grants totaling $489,000 to the Iraq Peace Fund, who used that money to fund the anti-war marches and media costs of 27 groups, including MoveOn.org, whose purpose is to defeat George W. Bush.

Other Tides Center projects include The Youth Gender Project, which seeks to "empower and support transgender, gender-variant, intersexed and gender-questioning youth and young adults."

They also shoveled $200,000 towards The Ruckus Society - founded in 1995 to train activists in violent protest against biotechnology, globalization and the World Bank. It incited property destruction in the Seattle riots of 1999 and Washington, D.C., the following year.

Now, if you really want to get mad, you should also know that $8,000,000 in taxpayer money flowed into the Tides Center in the form of federal grants made by eight different agencies between 1997 and 2001.

Don't wait for FOX News to say anything. They love Kerry.

Really???!!! Fox News is the brain child of Roger Ailes. Ailes orchestrated Reagan's '84 Morning in America campaign. Ailes was also instrumental in promoting Rush Limbaugh early in his career, including Limbaugh's television show.

Bill O'Reilly and the light-in-the-loafers talking heads might be pro-Kerry, but it is a BIG stretch to claim that Fox News is pro-Kerry.

The "TIDES" another stinking outfit!

[lonevoice]

I guess that makes Kerry the Prince of Tides.

Very quick and clever. Kudos! I hope one of the media friendlies picks up on that, as it would have excellent staying power.

[Think free or die]

Great job. Absolutely sickening findings.

Don't leave Drudge out of the loop - ever since he shamed Newsweek for sitting on the intern story, the majors have been keeping an eye on his site.

True. Plus Drudge has his radio show on Sunday night and could get a jump on the other broadcasters who wouldn't have a chance to cover it before Monday.

Okay. Displaying my ignorance: what is an intersexed youth?

Not rain on your find, but Jeffrey R. Lewis, Chief of Staff for Teresa Heinz replied to quasi post.

It at the bottom.

Rain all you want. In my opinion Lewis' comments were generic chaff, didn't persuade me one way or another. They didn't erase the quasi post, so that can complimented.

[Canadian Outrage]

Good research Mo. I agree, whenever something stinks, if you dig deep enough, there is usually a Clinton at the bottom of it!! Hope enough folks realize this tho.

Fox News has had some of 'them' on the last two days. I imagine they were Democrats to begin with, but I guess they like being 'used' by Kerry.

[potlatch]

LOL, those pigs have 'twirley' tails!!

[dandelion]

SWEET! A tip o' the investigative hat to you, my friend!!

[Trteamer]

Last Monday night we went out and FReeped the "Peaceful Tomorrows" speaker and her commie professor buddy. That's right folks, we were on to them and picketed them. They had to go through our "GAUNTLET OF TRUTH" to get into the building.

See the report and pictures at:
