What started out as curiousity on my part to see just how much left wing money NPR is getting turned out to be rathole after rathole after rathole of left wing foundations. Good Grief!

I hope that others will pick this up and do more digging. I'll try to add to this later, so be prepared for a ping on this in the future from myself. One of my problems is that I don't follow offshoot groups as much as I should, so I can't uncover all stones.

In the meantime, please email this to your favorite blogger so that they too will do some digging. Email your favorite talk show host and maybe one of their information digging personnel will finish up what I've started here.(as well as write up in a better fashion, I only seek to get this out into the wild here)

We need many eyes here. And we need them now.

This is what we are up against.

You may want to look at federal funding of NPR.

However, federal funding of NPR did not cease even when the GOP controlled Congress from 1993-2007.

The elites use the poor for votes and manipulate the government for their own benefit. Those of us in the middle get the squeeze. Sort of a “soft” totalitarianism.

Occasionally I hear “Nipper”,as I now refer to it, on somebody’s radio. It’s now almost back to back commercials for government bureaucracies and talk shows that increasingly seem like commercials. It’s become a snake eating its own tale— charging another bureaucracy for doing its PR.

As for these foundations: I’ll bet there’s a pretty penny waiting for the lawyer who’s willing to research the terms these foundations originally agreed to when they were founded.

Fight fire with fire.

No reason foundations should be exempt from taxes.... high taxes.

Pubcasting got an 8.1 percent more over last year in the last federal budget passed.

This is beautiful.

You're beautiful.

Everything is beautiful, in its own way...

Except NPR and Soros (spit).

This has little to do with your great work here, but it’s an example of what these Foundations are doing to ALL of our Churches, old but nonthless valid:

On May 18, 1992, the birth of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) was announced to the press, along with prominent mention of its sources of startup funding. United Press International reported that “more than $2 million” would come from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, “more than $5 million” from the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Rockefeller Foundation, and a single five-year, $8 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This latter windfall represented the single largest grant in that foundation’s history (a $13-million-plus grant to CASA in 1998 would later raise the bar even higher).

... “Healthy People 2010” report put out by HHS in 2000. This federal plan sets ten-year targets for a variety of public health goals. Healthy People 2010 explicitly calls for a 9 percent across-the-board cut in alcohol consumption. Its predecessor, “Healthy People 2000,” demanded a cut in consumption by over 24 percent. Not just in underage drinking: the feds want less alcohol consumed, period.

This lines up well with CASA’s examination, in “Teen Tipplers,” of various strategies ostensibly targeted at “reducing underage drinking.” The policy options that CASA chose to explore include (in their own words):

Increase Alcohol Taxes

Restrict the social and commercial availability of alcohol;
Ban alcohol advertising on television;
Limit [the] numbers, locations, and hours of alcohol establishments;
Require prominent warning labels in all alcohol advertising.

...but the strategy in use here is obvious. In addition to recommending policies that specifically target underage drinkers (such as school-based prevention programs and expanded addiction treatment options), CASA is arguing for measures that would effectively limit the options of ADULTS, regardless of how responsibly they drink.[...]http://activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/o/318-national-center-on-addiction—substance-abuse

These Foundations funded somthing that was already being addressed w/ $400m. Why did they want to start another one? Probably to supply fraudelent data that would take away our freedoms and dampen Capitalism. Cloward-Piven Strategy. Obama was director of the Joyce Foundation in Chicago, and tried the same fraudulent data thing, only in his case it was to ban guns. It’s all for the common good!

You should get this to Glenn Beck.

I can visualize him already at his blackboard with all the connecting dots and arrows.

Thanks for your good work. Hope it continues (by you and/or others).

The ONE factoid I know about EVERY liberal with whom I debate or try to inform is that EACH and EVERY ONE listens to NPR! National Propaganda Radio.

My old tagline was, “Defund NPR”.

Stopping federal funding of this Demonrat propaganda/brainwashing outlet MUST be a top priority to all who are running for Congress from the conservative side of things!

Well, be sure to get it to Glenn Beck. He would have a ball with this. He loves doing these “blackboard” connections.

I'm starting to watch a lot of children's public television with my 20 month old daughter and haven't seen that much leftist propaganda except on shows like Sesame Street. Many of the other programs seem relatively evenhanded. Any info on this important topic?

Qualifier post:

I don’t expect these numbers to be accurate, but here you can access some funding disclosure forms from NPR themselves. You will see most of the names I am listing on one or another of these lists.(at the bottom of the page, PDF forms available from 2001 to 2008)

http://www.npr.org/about/privatesupport.html

There is no way I could get to all of these. But I’ll continue to list a few more of some of the major ones I spot so as to further this premise.

We need to expose these people.

Let’s go for round two. This about sums up all the major ones I know of. First up, the Park Foundation. Known for funding Soros own TV channel.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2419889/posts

Notice the other funders of soros’ tv as well. Macarthur, Hewlett, and Wallace.

Here is more on Park.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/03/institute_for_public_accuracy.html

Again, we see some familiar names of foundations all tied in with the left. Park, Wallace, and the Rockefellers.

Progressive Insurance funds NPR too. Think Peter Lewis - Progressive’s CEO. Known for funding all kinds of left wing stuff.

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2003

The Kauffman foundation. Their website is very orwellian: http://www.buildastrongeramerica.com/ They also fund left wing groups:

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6998

Feeding America supports NPR. They belong to another group called nourishtoday. Also in this partnership of nourishtoday is the conagra foundation and La Raza.

http://www.nourishkidstoday.org/understand-the-solution/child-hunger-partnerships.jsp

Doris Duke Foundation supports NPR and is a well known eco-whacko activist group.

http://spectator.org/archives/2009/07/20/governors-two-bark-back

Then you have the Alfred P Sloan Foundation. They work with the Sundance Institute which is a front group for Soros. ( Robert Redford’s place )

http://97.74.65.51/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=16895
http://www.soros.org/newsroom/news/sundance_20090715
http://www.sloan.org/program/18/grantees

The Metlife Foundation. Funding NPR and ACORN.

http://www.publiusforum.com/2009/06/10/acorn-foreclosure-counseling-funding-source/

The Pew Charitable Trusts support NPR.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/terry-trippany/2008/10/17/abc-news-used-obama-contributor-expert-defense-acorn

David Becker is/was a fellow at People for the american way. That’s who Pew tapped to run the “make voting work” initiative.

The Iraq-Afghanistan Deployment Impact Fund is a very nice sounding group that I’m not able to find much about, except I’m very suspicious of it due to one of it’s major donors, David Gelbaum. You may remember him as the mysterious ACLU donor.

This was attempted before, back in 2005.
