The real outrage ought to be ours. We were all victims of September 11th and these select few activists are feigning outrage while simultaneously exploiting the very dead they claim to represent for their own liberal agenda.

They blast BUSH for saving us after the Attacks of Sept. 11th...

when THEY refused 3 offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to hand over OSAMA bin LADEN to us on a silver platter that would have prevented Sept. 11th all together..?

The Enemy is now Within...
and always has been.

Why don't some of us FReepers take copies of this article and send it to Fox News, Drudge, Newsmax, Worldnet Daily, Etc......It would be a Godsend to have some fair and balanced investigative reporting like this placed in the right hands.

Efforts will be made to raise awareness of the complex issues involved in responding to terrorism and influence the US policy towards more effective, democratically-based responses to terrorism in both domestic and foreign policy.

In light of these revelations...shouldn't the above really read 'Democratically-based'...with a capital 'D'...? Really?

Could you imagine if the NRA had done something so sleazy?? The Mediots would be 24/7 on GW. Great work rainmaker, keep digging. There is a connection between this organization and Katie Couric and PravdABDNC and avoidance of campaign laws vs Heinz!

And besides...where was the 'Today' show when it was time to parade people in front of the camera after the political pep rally that went on at Paul Wellstone's memorial service? Where was the nationally televised outrage then?

It looks like TexasRainmaker got the article from the Pittsburgh Tribune posted here: The Heinz Endowments have teamed up with a secretive left-wing group [Mrs. Kerry Is A Commie]

This thread has lots of info about the Tide Foundation.

Yes, it had good info on other Tides Center doings and I included much of it in the body of my article.

"What makes the pairing with Tides troubling is that organization's secretive funneling of cash from private foundations -- such as Heinz, the Pew Charitable Trusts and many others -- to extreme left-wing activist groups whose interests include exclusion of humans from both public and private lands, anti-war protests, opposition to free trade, banning of firearms, abolition of the death penalty, unlimited abortion rights, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender advocacy, as well as and environmental extremism."

Great article - just copied and pasted most of it to Philly channel 10 (NBC) which has been uncritically repeating the "upset families" story on their newscasts all day - let's see if it helps them add a little balance to the story next time it's mentioned (I'm betting not, but it was worth a try)......

I've posted to my own site (http://mhking.blogspot.com/) a piece that uses a fair amount of your data (I hope you don't mind!) to spread the word as it were...

"Outraged" 9/11 families are part of group headed by Teresa Heinz Kerry (as in wife of John Kerry)

The "outraged" faces we've seen on television the past two days are more than they seem. Family members of 9/11 victims have been interviewed ad nauseum on television and in newspapers far and wide, complaining about the Bush Campaign's use of fleeting images of 9/11 to highlight the challenges faced by the Administration this term; and to call attention to the job they've done in meeting those challenges.

That would only make sense for a man who wants to be relected to the highest office in the land.

Among those 9/11 family members quoted in newspapers and in television interviews across the nation are people like Rita Lasar and Colleen Kelly. Both Lasar and Kelly are leaders of a group called September 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, which on it's surface sounds innocuous enough.

But when the connections are peeled away like the layers of an onion, the true picture emerges. Peaceful Tomorrows is one of several projects sponsored by the Tides Center of Pennsylvania.

Also innocent-sounding enough.

But who is the Tides Center? Known as the Tides Center for Pennsylvania, formerly the Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania, it is none other than a creation of the Tides Foundation and Center, headquartered in San Francisco, and two Pennsylvania-based foundations -- the Vira Heinz Endowment and the Howard Heinz Endowment-- chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry, heir to the Heinz food company fortune and wife of Democrat presidential contender Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

What makes the pairing with Tides troubling is that organization's secretive funneling of cash from private foundations -- such as Heinz, the Pew Charitable Trusts and many others -- to extreme left-wing activist groups whose interests include exclusion of humans from both public and private lands, anti-war protests, opposition to free trade, banning of firearms, abolition of the death penalty, unlimited abortion rights, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender advocacy, as well as and environmental extremism.

Coincidence? I think not. And especially considering that we as the public aren't being let in on the nebulous connections and ulterior motives.

Most Americans aren't going to take the time -- or even know -- to connect the dots either.

"Oh, Johnny....you gots some 'splainin' t'do..."

I wouldn't hold my breath though. I don't trust the good Senator to be forthcoming with the truth in this matter.

Not a problem. I actually stumbled across your blog last week by accident and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've also just added a link to your blog from mine!
