Tides Foundation funded activists arrested on Capital Hill
Very few Americans realize there exists a large network of far left philanthropists and foundations in America dedicated to destroying the American way of life,our Christian-based culture and our free enterprise system. They seek to remove America from its constitutional foundations and move it toward a European-style socialism. Much of this effort is coordinated by a little known group called the Tides Foundation and its related group,the Tides Center.
Over the course of its 33 year history,the Tides network has given hundreds of millions of dollars to anti-free enterprise groups,gun control groups,anti-private property groups,abortion rights groups,homosexual groups,groups engaged in voter fraud,anti-military groups,and organizations that seek to destroy America’s constitutional basis. All told,over 100 leftist organizations have received funding from one of the two Tides groups.
Not surprisingly,this network of anti-American groups played a key role in electing Barack Obama by using classic propaganda techniques in making false allegations about Bush (he lied regarding WMDs,he stole the election in Florida,he knew in advance about 9/11,etc,etc.) and created the impression that Bush and by extension,the GOP,was corrupt. Obama,of course,was portrayed as the reformer who would save America from this corruption.
