Code PinkoBy Jean PearceFrontPageMagazine.com | March 26, 2003 Like any other group, Communists come in a lot of shapes, sizes and colors. This time they’re wearing pink, they’re on the nightly news, and more than anything, they want the mothers and grandmothers of America to identify with them. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think the leaders of the women’s anti-war group Code Pink got lost on their way to the carpool line. Since October, these hot pink-clad "marching moms" have been spinning the same tale to reporters from coast to coast, the one about how concern for their...

WASHINGTON -- What are the biggest charity abuses in America? The answers coming from witnesses testifying at a Senate hearing last Tuesday pointed to practices by nonprofit, tax-exempt groups that are technically legal but violate the spirit of private charity. Those answers are wrong. The biggest abuse is nonprofits that deliberately and habitually break the law. The Senate Finance Committee is currently investigating practices of groups that enjoy exemption from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. In the past few years, more and more news stories have detailed the questionable practices of nonprofits, from huge CEO compensation packages...

Ruckus at the Republican Convention By Lowell Ponte FrontPageMagazine.com | August 27, 2004 Leftist Web sites have worried the police in New York City whose job is to prevent radicals and terrorists from disrupting and endangering the 2004 Republican National Convention. These anti-President George W. Bush Internet sites have encouraged protestors to bring slingshots to attack police horses, and marbles that can be thrown beneath those horses’ hooves to make them slip and injure themselves and their police officer riders. These sites have provided “anarchist cookbook” recipes that tell protestors how to set off sensors used to detect terrorist explosives...

Tom Hayden, one of the central organizers of sometimes violent, civil disobedience protests at the Democratic National Convention in 1968, is pledging to disrupt this month's Republican convention with demonstrations "1,000 times bigger than Chicago," according to a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, WND's premium, weekly, online intelligence newsletter. Hayden, the co-founder of Students for Democratic Society, a left-wing group that splintered in the late '60s and early '70s, with one faction resorting to terrorism, is predicting between 100,000 and 1 million protesters will be in New York for the convention beginning Aug. 30. Hayden said there were at...

Some of the groups organizing protests at this summer's Republican National Convention in New York – including one anarchist outfit planning disruptions – get funding from a foundation chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of the presumed Democratic Party presidential nominee, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. Heinz Kerry, worth as much as $1 billion according to some estimates, has directed donations in the millions to the Tides Foundation, a 28-year-old grant-making institution that funds some of the principal groups organizing demonstrations and disruptions of the GOP convention.

NEW YORK - The first lady of the democratic party is funding the efforts of those protestors who do indeed plan to create havoc and thwart our anti-terrorism efforts at the GOP convention. Sources are today reporting that the woman who is worth an estimated 3.2 billion dollars - Teresa Heinz Kerry - has given millions of dollars to the TIDES FOUNDATION. This group has long (28 years) funded many of the main groups planning on organizing the protests. According to these same reports Heinz-Kerry has also helped fund the Ruckus Society which made its name in the World Trade...

Sunday, July 18, 2004 3:53 p.m. EDT Heinz Kerry Bankrolling GOP Convention Ruckus? At least one of the left wing groups traveling to New York City next month in a bid to disrupt the Republican Convention has accepted money from a philanthropic foundation with financial ties to Teresa Heinz Kerry. The Ruckus Society has been training demonstrators for months in the kind of street tactics that could turn the GOP's August confab into a security nightmare. "When you're protesting in New York City, you're definitely in the big leagues," Ruckus Society director John Sellers said last month while discussing his...

Rush is talking about the boot camp to disrupt the GOP Convention. The boot camp is being sponsored by the Ruckus Society. The Ruckus Society is directly supported by The Tides Foundation. One of Tides' most prolific contributors: Teresa Heinz Kerry

John Kerry is the Senate's most liberal member. But his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, looks to be even farther left, judging from her charitable giving. Over the years, she has poured nearly $6 million into the San Francisco-based Tides Foundation, a kind of front philanthropy, founded by California activist Drummond Pike in 1976, that channels donations to left-wing causes in ways that make the original funders hard to trace directly. The Tides Foundation gives to causes to the left - sometimes way to the left - of the Democratic mainstream. It has been a big supporter (to the tune of...

I am looking for articles on the left wing activism of the Heinz Foundation and my google searches have been pretty unsuccessful so far. Is anyone aware of articles on this or source? Thanks! Patrick

With Matt Drudge’s recent revelation that John Kerry is as faithful to his second wife as he was to his old Vietnam “brothers,” the senator’s presidential campaign may depend more than ever on the actions of his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry. While the mainstream media has thus far overlooked the alleged infidelity, media outlets have also overlooked a far more important story: The former Mrs. John Heinz is also in bed – financially – with the radical Left.   Teresa Heinz Kerry has financed the secretive Tides Foundation to the tune of more than $4 million over the years.
