As a barrier of entry to keep anyone else from becoming rich and challenging their place at the top of the hill. The laws would be written as to allow the sheltering of money that has already been obtained (there will always be “tax free” investments) but make the accumulation of new wealth by anyone else not already having it impossible. It is about control. Socialism is designed to appeal to the have-nots (there are always more than 51% of them) to keep a certain clique of “haves” in power and prevent anyone else from ever challenging their power.

Old Russian saying: “Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Socialism is the reverse.”

The Tides Foundation was one of the things that bothered me about John Kerry. His wife, Teresa, donates millions to Tides.

Read this article the whole thing … particularly the reprint if the June column.

But you won’t find Tides very far away. Ah, found it … on HCAN’s own website:

HCAN is primarily [funded] by our member organizations, individual contributions, and foundations, including a major grant from The Atlantic Philanthropies. HCAN is a section 501(c)(4) issue advocacy organization. Members of the HCAN coalition include a wide range of nonprofit and advocacy organizations that are working to promote quality, affordable health care for everyone in America. HCAN’s members are tax-exempt public charities, advocacy organizations, and unions. HCAN and each member organization only conduct and fund only those activities appropriate to their tax and election law status. Additionally, HCAN is related to Health Care for America Education Fund, a project of The Tides Foundation, a section 501(c)(3) public charity.

And so I would expect their “message” to be coordinated by Fenton Communications.

So there has to be some pretty big sugar daddies (or mommies) that is backing these groups. And why would they be funding these groups? What is their purpose? Why does Soros fund these groups? He has enough money he can buy his own hosptial just for him.

I still say there is a nefarious reason for all of this. Soros is a committed socialist and is friends with a Canadian named Maurice Strong. Soror and Strong were the two that funded Al Gore initial push for global warming legislation.

It is my personal opinion that these forces have one goal; reduce the power of the U.S. and push for a global governance, just as Gore has said we should have a number of times. And Americans have been dumped down to the point they don’t understand they are lemmings being lead over a cliff.

And — Surprise! — it’s a brand-spanking new lobby comprised of some of our “favorite” Obama backers, formed just in time for the Obama administration’s health care plan. HCAN, established as recently as July 2008, is an unprecedented coalition led by:

ACORN, AFSCME, Americans United for Change, Campaign for America’s Future, Center for American Progress Action Fund, Center for Community Change, MoveOn.org, National Education Association, National Women’s Law Center, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, SEIU, United Food and Commercial Workers, and USAction.

As of July 7, 2008, Steering Committee members included:

Richard Kirsch (Health Care for America Now), Maude Hurd (ACORN), Gerald McEntee (AFSCME), Caren Benjamin (Americans United for Change), Roger Hickey (Campaign for America’s Future), Elizabeth Edwards (Center for American Progress Action Fund), Eli Pariser (MoveOn.org), Reg Weaver (National Education Association), Marcia Greenberger (National Women’s Law Center), Cecile Richards (Planned Parenthood), Anna Burger (SEIU), Joseph Hansen (United Food and Commercial Workers), Jeff Blum (USAction), David T. Tayloe, Jr., MD FAAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), and David White (small business owner).

Recall William McNary’s words that USAction “must avoid Citizen Action’s mistake of becoming a conduit for unions and trial lawyers’ money and messages”? What do you think the chances of that NOT happening will be?

Blum, SDS, WUO?

So now we come full circle to where RBO’s search started, the name responsible for this whole article — Jeffrey David Blum.

Richard Kirsch
Current Position: National Campaign Director, Health Care for America Now

…

n 1977, Kirsch went to business school at the University of Chicago; he graduated in 1980.

Kirsch wanted to use his M.B.A. for the public good, so he took a job as financial director of the Illinois Public Action Council from 1980 to 1982. He worked with two young Illinois Democrats named Rahm Emanuel and Jan Schakowsky. Both would go on to represent Illinois as Democrats in Congress, and Emanuel is now Obama’s White House chief of staff.

Illinois Public Action is affiliated with the national progressive group USAction, and in 1982, Kirsch returned to the East Coast to found another USAction affiliate, New Jersey Citizen Action. Kirsch’s primary areas of focus were progressive tax and housing policy, and he worked on elections and community organizing related to both.

…. (and much, much more)

So basically, HCAN is directed by a former associate of Rahm Emanuel. Talk about “astroturf”!

So since I am just a stupid, average American trying to make a living, how does a group like AAEI immediately come up with millions of dollars to carry out their evil deeds? What is the money force behind these groups (we all know George Soros contributes millions) but there are some nefarious things going on in our nation.

If you think I am off base, just remember that it was the Communist Party of America that funded the anti-war protests (complete with Hanoi John and Hanoi Jane) with money from Russia.

So just who the hell is behind all these groups?
