Another Hillary Clinton connection to the phony media "watchdog" group Media Matters has surfaced. Susie Tompkins Buell, a major fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, put $300,000 into the group through her Susie Tompkins Buell Foundation. Interestingly, while Tompkins Buell was swelling the bank account of Media Matters, which largely functions as a Hillary Clinton front group, her foundation was also putting $100,000 into The White House Project, an organization dedicated to promoting the election of a woman to the U.S. presidency. And we all know who that is.
Marie Wilson, president of The White House Project, hailed the Hillary Clinton candidacy, declaring that she enters the race "at a time when the country is more prepared for female leadership than at any point in its history." Wilson is the former president of the Ms. Foundation for Women.
Potential media backing for Hillary can be found in the fact that the "corporate council" of The White House Project includes Disney/ABC, General Electric (parent of NBC News and MSNBC), Time Warner (parent of CNN), and the HBO and Lifetime cable channels.
The George Soros connection appears in the person of Gara LaMarche, vice president and director of U.S. Programs for the Soros-funded Open Society Institute. He is a member of the board of directors of The White House Project. However, LaMarche left the Open Society Institute in April of this year to become President and CEO of The Atlantic Philanthropies, which has assets of $3.1 billion. One of its major grantees just happens to be the Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CCIR), which has received a total of $7 million.
The CCIR describes itself as "a joint legislative advocacy and grassroots mobilization initiative begun in 2003 with the mission to enact rights-centered comprehensive immigration reform legislation in the US." It is "guided by a core set of rights-based immigration principles and priorities, including: a path to permanency for the undocumented, family re-unification and labor protection for future flows."
Translated into English, this means that the organization is dedicated to amnesty for illegal aliens, enabling them to become U.S. citizens and vote Democratic, and a process to let even more immigrants from Mexico and other countries enter the U.S. in the future. The CCIR created a sister coalition, The New American Opportunity Campaign.
It's fascinating how amnesty has now become giving "opportunity" to "new Americans."
The group supports two bills?the Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007, and the Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy Act of 2007. These are the Senate and House amnesty bills. Both have provisions facilitating creation of the North American Union.
Interestingly, the CCIR website lists a number of major papers supportive of its position on "comprehensive immigration reform." They include the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Arizona Republic, Miami Herald, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Denver Post, San Antonio Express-News, Houston Chronicle, and the Orlando Sentinel, among others.
Talk about a shadow government! How about a shadow campaign! This is scarey!
As of yesterday Rush still says that Hillary has an 80% chance of being elected.
Well, at least Bubba is entertaining.
Imagine listening to Hillary for at least four years, talk about everything that she thinks is vital to the nation - not to mention the world?
I think I will have to kill my television.
Sigh.
Didn’t you just love hearing Hill talk about her faith last night during the “debate”?
Hillary prays? Yeah, right.
They're like a cloud of blue-bottle flies... obscuring the view of a large, steaming pile of feces.
Journalists who claim to be objective should be laughed at.
Sure, Hil prays....to the Church of Liberalism, Socialism, and Communism....LSC - that’s HER religion.
See the post immediately preceeding this one. All you need to know.
Accurate description of Hillary, I must confess.
I pray that smoe how, some way George Soros loses every nickel he ever made. He’s a demon from HELL!!!!
“media are key to hillary clinton victory...”
just as pravda and inzvestia were essential to the maintenance of soviet power.
