Re: GROUNDSPRING / TIDES:

The phrase "Wretched hive of scum and villainy" comes to mind.

Here's a few more of these organizations..

http://www.self-sufficiency.org/what/
(states health care and homes are a RIGHT)

http://www.theintersection.org/calendar/index.php?op=view&id=1122
(a very freaky arts organization)

http://www.fronteradecristo.org/ministries.shtml
(a no borders group)

And then there is this organization.....

http://www.thelistproject.org/H2HDonate.html
(that brings Iraqi immigrants to this country whose director says things like the following....)

“Americans don't really care about Iraqis anymore,” he concludes in his darker moments. “I'm doing my part of educating people about the war, but a solution requires the other side, as well.”

He is here to educate Americans on their ignorance. Scroll to the bottom of this article to read...

“The subpoena, issued by Attorney General James D. Caldwell, is seeking tax returns, financial records, e-mail messages, memorandums and other documents from Acorn and Citizens Consulting Services Inc., which provides financial management services to Acorn. Mr. Caldwell issued another round of subpoenas pertaining to the investigation in August.”

The beginning of the end.

Groundspring is funded by TIDES - good article here:
http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=18201

I’ve noticed most people on the boards on these foundations are all pro-abortionists and worse. John Holdren was on the board of the MacArthur Foundation until 2005. They’re into environmentalism which preaches that we’re all contributing to carbon footprints hence their millions toward abortions, they have no qualms about euthanasia etc. They’re also into organic food yet notice the lack of water for the farmers, in the bread basket state CA. Whose stopping the water and why? How can an urban population survive on organic food?

He who controls the food controls the people.

This just screams the punchline to the old joke:

We know what you are, now we're just haggling over the price.

I wonder how much the other members of the Rathke family embezzled since most of them (wife, daughter, etc) were involved in some shape or form. You don't expect them to get real jobs do you?!

http://wwEnvironmental Grantmakers Association
1992 Annual Meeting Tapes

The EGA’s annual retreats are strategy planning sessions during which grantmakers lay their plans for the coming year. The classic gathering was in 1992, when key foundation leaders laid out their intentions to hijack the environmental movement with the goal of remaking the world in their own image.

They all know each other and when they select a candidate, it’w with great thought on their background. Most of them are sociopaths including Obama.

Population control is the end game. We’re all just numbers to them.

Thanks for the link. Yes, Planned Parenthood received quite a bit of the Tides money according to their 2001 Annual Report...

http://www.tidesfoundation.org/fileadmin/tf_pdfs/TidesFoundation_AnnualReport_2001-2002.pdf

Here is one of the organizations that come up under Groundsprings list....

http://www.guttmacher.org/programs/

Looks like they want to control the population by eliminating it!

Here's another way they get organizations funded. Tides pushes the use a "fiscal sponsor". Any nonprofit already in existence can "sponsor" groups outside itself to get the benefits of a nonprofit and donations funneled through their organization...sounds like a tangled web if I ever heard of one...

I “brother dear” hooked 5 million, he has enough to live regally in Costa Rica, or Asia. Don’t be surprised if he now disappears ;-)
