Thats true. If you look into most of these groups you will find the same people. They are also receiving large amounts of fed tax dollars and employ advertising agencies to create the perception they are a large mainstream organization . Actually the truth is they are run out of a livingroom at someones house. They use virtual offices rented by name at some impressive address and have virtual telephone services with many extensions all going to the same phone. CAIR is a good example of this type of group. When they make public appearances for media the rent crowds to give airs of legitimacy.
All a person needs is a fax machine, a computer and some fancy letterhead and they can become any advocacy group they desire. Fax “news releases” to MSM outlets and, if they are controversial enough, they will give you nation wide exposure. For good measure, put a place on your website or facebook page for donations to you cause and you will rake in millions.
If you want to get at the head of the beast, look into a group called the Aspen Institute. This is where goverment and corporate ideas and people interact. This is where your lower generals are trained. I retired from a large energy company and if you got to V.P. level you had to go to one of their “Retreats” to get your lobotomy. If you didn’t have certificates from this group hanging on your wall you went nowhere up the ladder. If you research the members list you will be amazed who you will find. Many seem like contradictions as a lot of goverment policy seems be at odds with their business.
