My favorite is Tides' sponsorship of the the Ruckus Society, who is the group behind the 1999 WTO violence in Seattle.

Here are some of the quotes from the members...

“Anarchism has got a really bad rap, like communism”
— Ruckus Society director John Sellers, writing in the New Left Review, July-August 2001

“Monkey-wrenching is more than just sabotage, and you’re goddamn right, it’s revolutionary! This is jihad, pal. Everything, every assumption, every institution needs to be challenged. Now! And more spiking is needed to convey the urgency of the situation!... Go out and get them suckers, fill them full of steel, and I promise you this: you might get caught; you might do some time; your friends might abandon you. But you will never have to spike the same tree twice.”
— Ruckus Society co-founder Mike Roselle, in The Earth First! Journal, December 1994/January 1995

“You create symbols, then manipulate them so the public sees things the way we want them to.”
— Howard “Twilly” Cannon, in U.S. News & World Report, May 12, 1997

“It’s cooler to give a crap than it used to be…. This is a watershed moment for us. Some amazing alliances are being formed in Seattle -- steelworkers and animal rights activists; people of faith and human rights groups. This is not just a single protest; we’re kicking off a movement this week that’ll be around long after the last WTO representative leaves Seattle.”
— Han Shan (not his real name), in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, November 29, 1999

“I make a distinction between violence and destruction of property. Violence to me is against living things. But inanimate objects? I think you can be destructive, you can use vandalism strategically. It may be violence under the law, but I just don’t think it’s violence.”
— John Sellers, in The Mother Jones, September/October 2000

“There is no better way to launder corporate multinational largesse than giving it to the movement that is confronting it.”
— John Sellers, in a Financial Times special report, October 15, 2001

Hmm. Well. How 'bout that?

The Tides Center board of directors has been especially busy of late. In 2001 the first Tides “franchise” office (not counting Tides’ presence in Washington and New York) was opened in Pittsburgh. This new outpost, called the Tides Center of Western Pennsylvania, was erected largely at the urging of Pittsburgh native Teresa Heinz (the widow of Senator John Heinz, the ketchup heir). Heinz pulls more strings in the foundation world than almost any other old-money socialite; she’s presently married to U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-MA). The Tides Foundation has collaborated on funding projects with the Heinz Endowments (Teresa Heinz’s personal domain) for over 10 years.

When "Peaceful Tomorrows" shows up to protest Bush, that's Heinz-Kerry money laundered by the Tides. Often, given the press we have in this country, they're simply described as "families of 9-11 victims."

This is sickening. If the elites of this country are going to spend money this way then they need to pay the taxes! I am very fed up with the GOP constantly giving these people tax breaks when they give us only peanuts. Then there media kicks us in the teeth about giving money only to the elites(them). Are we idiots or what? The Upper 6% gives disproportionately to the Republicans, all well and good. But the upper 1% (or maybe the upper .25% gives disproportionately the 'rats. If that is the way it is going to be then they The upper (25%) need to pay socialist level taxes.
