Now about Stanley Ann. She was a denizen of that mighhty mirky NGO world where The State Department, The CPUSA, and The Intelligence Services often collide ... part Ford Foundation ...Part KGB ...Part ONI, CIA, NSA, FBI (when they are lucky).
Would love to debrief the old Karachi Station Chief or maybe séance old Kim Philby to get the whole story on her. The Geithner clan was in on this scam, too. In fact, Geithner Sr. was Stanley Ann's mentor or controller or something ... again ... were they on our team? Their team? Both teams?
A mystery wrapped in an enigma this whole Obama era. I am not too long for this planet ... I gotta know .... who is this guy?!?
As for where that money was coming from I can tell you that the Ford Foundation was the biggest conduit for funding CIA operations at this time, and that the Foundation's policies in Asia reflected the goals of John D. Rockefeller III, a key figure in post-WWII US Asia policy. Rockfeller founded the Asia Society in 1956 on the model of the Institute of Pacific Relations. IPR as you may know was a Rockefeller-supported Asian policy think tank which had been infiltrated by a Soviet intelligence network that had penetrated the OSS and the early CIA. Early CIA leaders had the notion that they could counter Soviet influence by supporting liberal groups that were socialistic rather than CP-controlled. Of course such groups were often CP-infiltrated and could just as easily be turned towards Soviet and Chinese ends, not to mention that they were socialistic in their own right. This US policy of supporting liberal groups abroad was implemented first in Europe in the early 50s and later in Asia and the Third World through operations like the Peace Corps of the Kennedy-Johnson era, the human rights groups that proliferated in the 1970s with support from the Ford and Carter administrations, etc.
Ann came into this whole orbit while teaching English in Jakarta during the late 60s and early 70s. Through her Chinese second husband (whose family had been killed during an Indonesian revolt against Dutch colonists in the 1940s, and who had subsequently become a cartographer for the Indonesian government), she became involved with a series of American-Indonesian liaison groups. During this period USAID had recently been extended to Indonesia following the ouster of Sukarno, who had aligned himself with the Asian Communist bloc and was supported by Western Communists. Of course the intent of USAID here was to serve US policy, but as in Vietnam, volunteers could also be recruited to other ends. The Vietnam antiwar movement was being steered towards sympathy for the Indonesian Communist cause by George McT. Kahin, who had been tasked by the IPR's Owen Lattimore in 1949 with developing an academic challenge to Dutch colonialism in Indonesia. Meanwhile Soviet-sponsored antiwar groups like COLIFAM were using Jakarta as a launch pad to run operations into Vietnam. It was a common tactic for groups like that to infiltrate their own people into USAID-supported groups.
If I continue on this line of thought I'll have to write a whole article, so I'll cut myself off there, but I think those are some background items relevant to some of your questions.
