A Beck inspired 'blackboard' on left wing funding from foundations to public media and more

Posted on 03/12/2010 5:37:18 PM PST by Halfmanhalfamazing

After creating a huge post regarding all the different ways that the left shuffles funding around towards NPR, I realized it was probably a bit too long and I thought there might be a better way. So here is a visual which should help make it easier:



TOPICS: Editorial
KEYWORDS: 501c3; bankofamerica; blackboard; carnegie; christian; defundtheleft; dorisduke; foundations; fundingtheleft; geffen; glennbeck; illegals; laraza; lds; metlife; mormon; moveon; newamericafoundation; nonpartisan; opensocietyinstitute; peta; peterlewis; pew; progressives; soros; talkradio; taxexempt; tides; tidesfoundation; watchlefthand; wikimedia; wikipedia; yourtaxdollarsatwork
My fellow freepers, there *is* a here here. When you consider that out of the top 10 foundations(according to this:

http://foundationcenter.org/findfunders/topfunders/top100assets.html

5 of them(that's half!) are known left wing funders, we have a problem. Consider that among these 5 foundations they have over 50 billion dollars to play with. This is not insignificant. I hope people aren't getting tired of me banging this drum, you can see why I'm not ready to let this go unaddressed.

Just so it's said, I don't want credit for this image or anything else that I've typed on this. Spread it around. Email it. Post it in other forums. If you're a blogger or someone else who can make good use of it in whatever you are investigating, consider the image yours. Free of charge. Expand on the info, correct anything that may be incorrect. I don't care.

Here are the two major posts regarding this:

Who Controls Wikipedia? Who Sponsors Wikipedia? ( George Soros )

Tracking Left wing funding of NPR

Anything else is fairly easy to find using google. It'd be nice to see a real investigator get on this instead of just some random person like me on it. That has been done in a handful of examples, but this is a lot bigger than what's been addressed so far.

I don't so much mind the left funding NPR, it's that I have to fund it as well through my taxes.

Normally I wouldn’t mind it but you have to consider that most of if not all of these foundations claim nonpartisanship and get 501 tax shield status. Even worse is putting it altogether to see what kind of cesspool we are dealing with here.

The same groups that fund all these other groups that are doing great damage to our nation are all in bed with each other. We are dealing with huge, huge amounts of money here, and far too often these roads lead to government media.

If a leftist wants to raise their hand and say ‘i’m a leftist and here is who I financially support’, that’s not so bad. But if a leftist wants tax shelter status for being non partisan while supporting all kinds of partisan crap, now houston has a problem.

I agree with you 100%...which is why I wrote that I didn't mind "so much". I do mind when it's on the sly, but if they were up front then it's just free speech and they're entitled to it. I just resent their paying for their free speech with my money.

Oh my!!

What an excellent job you have done! This is your work? Very well done.

This needs to be “broadcast” far and wide?

Let’s see - does Drudge have this yet? Does Beck? Does Hannity? Does Rush? Do any of the conservative leaders of Congress?????

NPR MUST BE DEFUNDED!

It is THE number one source of lies / propaganda in this country!

Thank you for this tremendous work!

May it take wing and fly....

It seems to me that you're selling yourself a little short. Very well done and KUDOS for the completely amazing effort.

Ok, well, then it’s probably my fault for misunderstanding.

We agree. That’s the important thing.

It’s only here for right now. I hope it’ll become a topic among bloggers at some point. Talk radio, maybe more. With so much focus on healthcare for obvious reasons, don’t have any expectations for anybody or anything. We’ll see.

Beautiful post of some extreme ugliness.

The one good thing about this interconnected web of financial subversion is that when the dollar goes, it takes them all down with it.

Then they're just down here. With us mortals. Alone. Undefended.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Think how the liberals would scream if they were forced to use their tax dollars to pay for Rush’s radio show...

You’ll enjoy this - MSM donates to dems...

Dunno what you're trying to incite here: the first URL you listed is for the top 100 foundations.

That in its own right would garner myself NO credibility with various liberals I know.

With respect to the rest of your post your credibility has been impeached. I'm not even going to look at it.
