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.

I'm new to the Lazar issue and the PT agenda. That agenda is no less the the US absorbed in a UN Dominated world government. Rita exploits the tragic events as a stepping stone for subservient to elitist fools that will sacrifice the security of this nation for empty causes with slogans like "opportunities for making the planet a safer and more just place, by actively participating in international organizations, multilateral treaties and protocols that advocate peace and social equality." We know what that means to a globalist in sheep's clothing!

Check out this poll at CNN: www.cnn.com/lateedition

It asks if the President was correct to use the 911 images in his ad....and the NO's are way ahead!

[sirchtruth]

This is really BIG, this needs to be sent to all media outlets

Why do some of you think that sending something AGAINST the major media's canidate of choice that they are going to runwith it?

Have they not proven time and time again that they are a dem front?

[unsycophant]

Of course the "NOs" are way ahead. CNN is toeing the party line.

I just spent forever following the links and reading the annual report of the tides,,you ought to read who they give money to,,it is incredible. Subversive, unbelievable. Teresa is one dirty lady.

[cajungirl]

Your post 67 is reminding me of the 60's and all the communist front organizations. This is unbelievable to me. We need a really smart reporter to do a long expose which only we will read as the average joe won't be able to follow it not having learned to read. Maybe John Stoessel could do a tv piece. This is huge.

Gee! I'm really shocked...Not!

Have you seen this thread yet? Can you ask the White House how they feel about the fact that this group is so closely tied to the Kerry camp?

[rikkir]
