She may sport fashionable togs rather than a face mask, but the chaos expected during the upcoming GOP convention, is partly courtesy of the stylish Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
The Ketchup Queen financed the shadowy Tides Foundation to the tune of $4 million to date. The Tides Foundation funds the Ruckus Society, a notorious group of anarchists who rioted and looted Seattle during the 1999 World Trade Organization riots.
This summer, the Ruckus Society has been training protesters for the GOP Convention. Included in their how-to Book for Dummies are mass sit-ins, blockades and pie throwing at high-level officials enroute to Madison Square Gardens.
With the money of Mrs. John Kerry, Ruckus Society members live up to their name of being ready to create a ruckus anywhere, but they’re bound to be more careful in New York than they were in Seattle. And it’s not because they are afraid of The Terminator who’s scheduled to give one of the GOP’ keynote addresses. It’s because they don’t want their rioting, looting, sit-ins and blockades to leave the impression that the Dems and their gaggle of Hollywood supporters are the bad guys. It’s the Johnny America shout mimicking Paul Revere: "The Republicans are coming! The Republicans are coming!" that they want to stick in the public mind.
In Ruckus Society Director John Seller’s own words: "The Republicans would love to have images coming out of New York City that make them look like the reasonable ones like they’re about responsibility and law and order and creating a safe society, and that the left was unreasonable and violent."
Rhetoric aside, with tactics like dog decoys intended to deliberately miscue bomb sniffing dogs in their bag of dirty tricks, tossing marbles under the hooves of police horses and using homemade slingshots to pelt the noble beasts, radical protesters should be prepared to wear the unreasonable shoe that best fits them.
While some 600,000 passengers travel to Penn Station on regular working days, protesters are hoping that their handiwork will see the necessity of having to evacuate Madison Square Garden.
All lessons being taught to willing protestors at the Ruckus knee are ones to make it less easy for the New York Police Department to maintain public safety.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner John Timoney calls radical protesters what they are, "criminal conspirators".
"There’s a cadre, if you will, of criminal conspirators who are about the business of planning conspiracies to go in and cause mayhem and cause property damage and cause violence in major cities in America that have large conventions and large numbers of people coming in for one reason or another."
Nothing, least of all commonsense will stop the radicals who are on a mission the equivalent of telling the not so long ago besieged Big Apple to get out of town by sunset.
"We will draw our examples and inspiration from the brave shapers of history who came before us and those who put their bodies on the line to gain independence," was one of the loftier protester warnings on the Internet.
Ruckus Society patron Teresa Heinz-Kerry was a flower child of the 60s when she worked as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva. It was when she was hanging out for an Earth Day rally in 1990 that she first ran into the guy with the same initials as JFK.
The socialite, who partly financed the coming ruckus in Madison Square Garden, is not likely to risk her public safety by being in New York. Her protest days long over, for Teresa Heinz-Kerry the Aug. 31 Day of Civil Disobedience will be as tame as the ketchup bottle on the kitchen table as she watches events from one of her half dozen mansions.

Thanks for the link to the Ruckus website. Most involved come from the radical ultra left groups.
This is the bio of their Director. It says he was 'removed from Canada'. Any idea what that means? Was he 'exiled' from Canada?
bump !
If they decoy a bomb sniffing dog from it's actual purpose .... this is terrorism designed to allow the true or real bomb to go unnoticed.
Thus this is murderous terrorism. This group is advocating murder of American citizens. I think it would be ok to shoot these people on sight.
In fact I advocate shooting anarchists by any true citizen. Sounds like fun actually.
This guy needs a bullet.
I only hope one thing happens to these people .. their lunacy backfires in their face.
I think it's time for some action above and beyond keyboard pounding. Foreign born terrorists are one thing but these punks are homegrown and easy to spot. At the very least we should be out there with our video cameras.

Thanks for posting this website; my!my! I imagine this site and some of its links are watched (I HOPE they are, anyway) by Homeland Security. For instance:

There will be times when people involved in direct action will be planning on getting arrested. In these situations it may be very helpful to interview them before the arrest and on-site in order to document their reasons for breaking the law. If they will be using a "Necessity Defense" in court (i.e. they had to commit this small crime in order to prevent a larger one), then establishing evidence of their intent will be valuable. Ask them who they are, what the date is, what they are doing here, how important are the issues to them, and what extreme conditions and frustrated attempts to work within the system (if any) have led them to this point in their campaign. Focus on what they perceive to be the larger issues involved. Try to put these interviews on a separate tape in case the whole tape is subpoenaed."
Exactly my thoughts - this will never be in the lamestream media. Tereza, show us your tax records so we can learn how much you are slipping to the dems and theri surrogates thereby financing your husband's campaign ilegally.
bttt
So, they want to tie law enforcement up so that it will make it even more difficult to keep an eye out for terrorists. And, they have the nerve to whine about people questioning their patriotism.
Anyone who would keep a dead husband's name WHILE being married to husband #2 has problems. As does the less-than-manly spouse who lets her do so.
It's not 'her' fortune. It's from that dead first husband and his family who did the work earning it.
