I need some help finding contributors to the Rainforest Action Network

A group of eco terrorists last week invaded a coal mining operation in our county and caused a load of trouble.


TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; US: West Virginia
KEYWORDS: coalmining; westvirginia
The group is called the Rainforest Action Network, out of San Francisco. Ive discovered that it is mixed up with Jodie Evans of Code Pink and several left wing hollywood actors too.

The main question people are asking here this week is, who is paying these hippies to show up with thousands of dollars of camping gear, mountaineering supplies and satellite phones? When the magistrate bonded them out, all fourteen of them paid their bonds from a bag the leader had in his pocket.

What I wanna know is, who paid them to do this? I know they have to have donors for RAN. Is there any sort of citizens group or govt website anyone knows of that can point me to where their money comes from?

My goal is to write an article for the local paper to put some heat on the money trail. I think I know that the Rockefeller Brothers Trust is a contributor and Jay Rockefeller is our senator, but I don't have proof.

According to Discoverthenetworks,

RAN receives funding from the Ford Foundation, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation, the Compton Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Educational Foundation of America, the Turner Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts, the Blue Moon Fund, the Columbia Foundation, the Foundation for Deep Ecology, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

There is a wealth of of information on this group at the link:

RAN has been around for years and gets money from all over the place.

Curious ... what exactly did they do? Trespassing? Sabotage?

Fourteen of them entered a mountaintop mine site in twilight west virginia from the woods, after camping there all night trying to catch the miners at shift change so they wouldnt catch enough of them to give them trouble.

They entered the site, encountered several miners who told them to get off the property.

They climed onto a drag line, which is essentially a giant crane with a 200+ foot high twin boom on it. It is designed to dig into the mountain from the top looking for coal.

The miners threw two crane operators off the drag line and climbed to the top of the boom on both sides, trying to hang one of their silly banners.

They refused to come down, and deputies and troopers had to climb up and force them down. They also threatened to spill large nalgene bottles of urine on anyone who climbed up after them.
