Kellogg Foundation Made Huge Grants to John Podesta’s Center for American Progress

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation gave nearly two million dollars to the John Podesta-founded Center for American Progress and a closely affiliated organization called Washington Center for Equitable Growth that also lists John Podesta as a founder. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is the namesake nonprofit arm of the Kellogg Company, which weeks ago pulled advertising from Breitbart News, declaring in an official statement that Breitbart is not “aligned with our values as a company.”

The Foundation describes itself as being “founded in 1930 as an independent, private foundation by breakfast cereal pioneer Will Keith Kellogg” and “among the largest philanthropic foundations in the United States.”

Although the Foundation states that its mission is to “create conditions for vulnerable children so they can realize their full potential in school, work and life,” the donations to John Podesta’s Center for American Progress—which Politico described as “the leading progressive think tank in Washington”—is part of W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s pattern of giving to partisan, far left-wing political organizations such as Black Lives Matter, George Soros’ Open Societies Institute, and the Tides Foundation.

The Center for American Progress (aka CAP) was started in 2003 by its then-President and Chief Executive Officer John Podesta, the former Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton who led Barack Obama’s presidential transition team after the 2008 election and went on to be the campaign manager of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Podesta’s relationship with Bill Clinton goes back to 1970.

Kellogg is not “aligned with my values as a patriot."

I’ve switched to Aldi’s cereal - as good or better and much cheaper.

Boycott Kellogg. Need to make real, like what has occurred with Target.

I doubt that I’ve consumed a Kellogg product in the past decade, since they’re all highly-processed, prepackaged crap.

Already noted here on FR some time ago. Kellogg’s no longer used. Also Quaker Oats since they are part of the Pepsi empire.

All my Kellogs in our pantry, were unceremoniously tossed in the garbage last trash pickup day.
The pantry will be cleaned out later this week to dump EVERY item with "General Mills"on it.

We are definitely now a koranimal and pervert-related-free household.

Oh Barf. Perhaps the Kellogg Foundation can take these kids to Comet Pizza for some fun and bondage.

Kellogg should worry more about their employees urinating on the production equipment first. But maybe pissing on their customers is reflective of their values as a company.

Boycott sure sounds like the most instinctive thing to do with a company that is backing a civic nuisance.

The problem is that this world ultimately isn’t even civic; it’s spiritual and dynamic, and a number of factors need to be weighed in a movement that is expected to prevail against evil.

It looks as though, with Target, lefties have taken up a lot of the slack. They aren’t blessed as much as they could be if they released the folly; but they aren’t punished as much as they could be either. Plus they reap the psychic reward of thinking they are suffering on behalf of the “good guys.”

Even lefties seem to be more sophisticated than the raw boycott today. They’ll mount publicity campaigns. They’ll remonstrate in various fashions. They’ll reward brands that are visibly affirmative to their agenda (reference Target again). And when was the last time that we saw Target attacked by BLM... this indicates some kind of cause unity, hmm? This in turn leaves righties and their blunt force of limited impact.

I believe it was Jesus who said that the unbelieving are more shrewd towards one another than the “children of God.” They sometimes actually understand what is more real.

... anyhow, an attitude that says “Humph, we’re the good guys, and the world just owes it to us to respect us because we are” — is something that sometimes doesn’t succeed. And even attempts to punish the offenders do not silence them.

If we could shift the locus of our focus (and that’s no hocus pocus) to God in heaven, who desires to bring blessings of heaven to the earth, we might begin to see vistas of entirely new approaches. The lefties sell hell pretty well (which doth smell) but can we sell heaven? That ought to be the proverbial lead pipe cinch. But the problem is, first we need to let heaven sell itself to us.
