Kerry and Hezbollah--II

Blogger "Bookworm" has more on the connections between the Kerry family and the terror outfit that styles itself the Party of God, or "Hezbollah":

In September 2004, there was a huge gathering of anti-American, anti-Israeli organizations in Beirut to attend a conference entitled "Where Next For The Global Anti-War And Anti-Globalization Movements? An International Strategy Meeting." The resulting manifesto, simultaneously turgid and strident, has as its primary goal attacking the U.S. war in Iraq. It's secondary goal is to challenge Israel's "occupation" of Palestinian lands. It's a nasty document, with a decidedly anti-American tone. What makes it interesting today is the identity of one of the organizations playing host to all these anti-American Leftist organizations: Hezbollah (identified on the last page as one of the Local Welcoming Committees). . . .

One of the participants from the United States was a group called United for Peace and Justice. Ordinarily, this would just be one of the icky little anti-American groups that America produces, along the lines of Code Pink : Women for Peace (which also attended this little American and Israel hatefest). What distinguishes United for Peace and Justice is that Teresa Kerry funds it. So, in 2004, a couple of months before Americans decided whether to put John Kerry in the White House, his wife's money was being used to fund one of the participants in a virulently anti-American meeting held in Beirut and hosted by Hezbollah. Once again, we have reason to be grateful that American voters put their money on George Bush.

To be clear, the money trail from Mrs. Kerry* to UPJ goes through several steps: According to the WorldNetDaily report linked above, her family foundation gives money to something called the Tides Foundation, which in turn gives to UPJ.

* The outspoken ketchup heiress and philanthropist, whose second (and current) husband by the way served in Vietnam for four months.

Excellent oped and thanks for posting it.

"In practice, “Tides” behaves less like a philanthropy than a money-laundering enterprise (apologies to Procter & Gamble), taking money from other foundations and spending it as the donor requires. Called donor-advised giving, this pass-through funding vehicle provides public-relations insulation for the money’s original donors. By using Tides to funnel its capital, a large public charity can indirectly fund a project with which it would prefer not to be directly identified in public. Drummond Pike has reinforced this view, telling The Chronicle of Philanthropy: “Anonymity is very important to most of the people we work with.”

Here tw0 examples of how this money laundering works with these so called non profits:

1. You are a super rich elite lunatic lib and have maxed out on what you can give a political party and state. So you give 1 million $'s to Green Hate America. Green Hate America keeps 100 to 200 hundred thousand $'s to the political party or candidate you just happen to mention as being needy as you give the money to be laundered.

2. You are a hate America Islamofacist with connections to the Opecker Princes and Thugs. They get several million $'s to you via an off shore bank. You donate the money to Green Hate America. They launder your millions take their % and fund Hamas or whatever Islamo serial killer organization you hint at. Or they will send checks to other left wing money laundering groups to be the final delivery people after their handling fee. Of course their laundering fee is high here, probably 25 to 30%.

This is one of the main reasons the elite liberal scum bags fear and hate Able Danger and the NSA ferreting out Islamofascist financial connections in America and Canada.
