However, I do expect Brit Hume to have something to say about this on "Special Report", probably in the Grapevine segment. He won't be able to help himself. ;o)

I sure hope he does. I was extremely disappointed that he didn't mention the Heinz-Tides Foundation link yesterday morning during the panel discussion on Fox News Sunday.

FOX News is mixed up in this. They have been called and emailed and they still were giving the Dems face time on this subject all weekend without calling them on it. They know the truth and they still helped the Dems lie. After watching the dim wits on the weekend Friends show I had to turn off the tv. They made me sick.

I heard on Tony Snow this morning that a new poll shows that Americans rank National Security the #1 issue

No disrespect intended but that should be obvious to almost everyone.

Whether the war on terror, illegal immigration, the exportation of cutting edge technology, ceding US authority to the UN, the formation of world courts or outsourcing sensitive research and development, almost all people of any political stripe are unified in this persuasion.

They are probable only polling liberals right now. CNN doesn't care what Americans think. They think they are doing news for France.

Bush 9/11 ads: WHO ARE THESE ANGRY 9/11 VICTIMS???

Clinton Worker Behind Trashing Of Bush 9/11 Ad

Bush Ads in HeinzSight   Intellectual Conservative 3-8-04
"So, the next time John Kerry tells you that, “there is no excuse for special tax cuts for the rich,” try not to vomit. Unlike President Bush, who cuts taxes for those who actually pay taxes, Kerry’s friends seem to keep passing hundreds of millions around while protected by non-profit status. At least Teresa can buy humble John plenty of political friends without paying a penny in taxes. And... all this madness is subsidized by you, the taxpayer. Who says this election won’t be fun!"

Maybe some of our reporter friends could just promise to ask Kerry whether he helped arrange the outrage interviews? Does Kerry even take questions on the campaign trail? If so, which reporters are on his beat? I realize, of course, that all of this depends on Kerry not questioning the terms in which the question was asked later on: "You asked if I arranged. I did not. I referred, coordinated, suggested, prompted, promoted, prevaricated and purchased, but did not arrange. I stand by [one of my] previous statements."

We must never allow the rats who hate America, our president and us to make America forget 9/11 and why it happened.

Good news. I spoke to a WASHINGTON POST reporter earlier and sent him info about the funding of PEACEFUL TOMORROWS as well as the ad Kerry did in 1984 in front of the Vietnam Memorial. I just got his email response ---

Very interesting, Doug! Thanks for sending. I'm gonna look into it...(name redacted)

Whining 9/11 relatives have been paid by Tides Foundation

Thanks to DeBug=int13 for providing these links and the reality of these scumbags.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1091052/posts?
page=96#96

And who is this survivors group "9-11 families for a Peaceful Tomorrow"?

Aww - phooey on them -

The real name of the outfit is September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows

And from all appearances it is a fund-raising front for the Tides Center (EIN 94-3213100) of San Francisco - and "Peaceful Tomorrows" doesn't try to hide that they are affiliated on their contribute page. I know some Freepers are familiar with the Tides Center, and for those who are not, it is a non-profit organization that rakes in fairly big bucks ($63+ mill in FY 2002, which included $5+ mill in Government grants) to distribute out grants and allocations to various and sundry "social" projects and causes, with left-wing groups getting decent cuts of the action - they consistently lay out a good bit of change to anti-second amendment groups, for instance. September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows doesn't appear to be necessarily autonomous from the Tides Center. Interestingly, the P.O. box listed on the "Peaceful Tomorrows" site shares the same location address and zip in the neighborhood with such notable organizations as The New Formulation: an Anti-Authoritarian Review of Books (a biannual journal examining the value of recent publications to the development of contemporary anarchist theory and politics), Institute for Anarchist Studies, Radical Magick (an "Eclectic Ceremonial Based Magick Group"), South Asian AIDS Action, Lesbian and Gay Labor Network, Dyke Action Machine! or DAM! - not that there's anything wrong with that (in Jerry Seinfeld voice). The Fellowship of Reconciliation website that is also mentioned on "Peaceful Tomorrows" contribute page says it all - offices in Wash. DC and also San Francisco.

Though they may splash New York this and New York that all around, "Peaceful Tomorrows" is created and based in Oakland California, founded and directed by Barry Amundson and sister-in-law Kelly Campbell, with the web technical matters being handled by Steve Simitzis of Saturn5 Productions in San Francisco, which has an apparent mission statement of providing web consulting and "hosting for artists, online communities, activist organizations"


Amundson is Designer and IT manager for the San Francisco branch of Fenton Communications, a "public interest communications" company that has offices in Washington DC, New York NY and San Francisco.

They have a rather interesting list of clientele that include -

MoveOn.org
People For the American Way
Nelson Mandela - Presidential Election
Greenpeace
Ben and Jerry's
Rock the Vote (which is also a "top five" paid contractor for the Tides Center)

Can probe here for the whole listing.





Here's a bit from lengthy LA Times article about what they do and the crowd they hang with - I think the Moderators won't have a cow over this excerpt -

October 1, 2002
Operation: Peace
Antiwar movement reflects a different America than in past eras, but diverse allies keep the spirit alive.
By REED JOHNSON, TIMES STAFF WRITER


"We want to poison your mind," teases the woman with slate-colored hair outside First Baptist Church in Koreatown. Swathed in natural fibers and sporting an anti-Dubya button, she's minding a table piled high with books, pamphlets and stickers decrying the sorry state of the planet--wars, corporate malfeasance, environmental disasters-in-the-making, and so on--along with half a dozen copies of the revolutionary rabble-rousings of Chairman Mao.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

But the rally's emotional climax occurred when Kelly Campbell and Barry Amundson, members of September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, a group composed of relatives of 9/11 victims, embraced beneath a giant video screen where images of the burning twin towers had flashed by moments earlier. Barry Amundson, 32, is the brother of Craig Amundson, a 28-year-old Army multimedia specialist who was killed when the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon; Campbell is his sister-in-law. Both were in Los Angeles to voice their conviction that the response to last year's attacks on New York and Washington shouldn't be more mangled bodies and grieving relatives.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *




And over at Indymedia -

A WASHINGTON POST reporter...says he is interested in that story.

He may be interested in it, but dollars to donuts his senior editor, who probably participated in anti-war demonstrations in the 70's, will probably kill it as being divisive, inflammatory, and not relevant to this election.

The RATS set up the press, some of whom went along very happily. The outrage at the Bush ads came from family groups associated with PEACEFUL TOMORROWS. That group got huge funding that ultimately came from a Teresa Heinz foundation.
