According to the police,Byron Williams had hoped to start a revolution by killing employees of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Tides Foundation. The ACLU is a well-known bogeyman of the right wing, but the Tides Foundation, a progressive non-profit organization founded in 1976 to promote social change, is a less familiar name. Why did Williams target a little-known non-profit in order to incite a revolution? Just ask Fox News...

The radical left sure hates it when someone shines a light on what the rats are doing under the cover of darkness. You can also add ACORN, Apollo and all the rest of George Soros's organizations that are radical left too.

Under the cover of Darkness??? The tides foundation: Our mission is to partner with philanthropists, foundations, activists, and organizations across the country and across the globe to promote economic justice, robust democratic processes, and the opportunity to live in a healthy and sustainable environment where human rights are preserved and protected. .

Tides Center is sponsor to nearly 200 projects nationwide working to advance progressive social change. Tides Shared Spaces operates and supports green nonprofit centers. Tides has a website which is far from hidden, how did you put it??? Oh yea... "Under cover of darkness" I'm sure Tides would appreciate any news that shines a light on their programs.

Here's how the Tides Foundation operates: they allow donors to anonymously contribute money to a variety of causes. This helps them avoid public accountability for their donations. A donor makes a check to Tides and instructs Tides to forward the money. Are you familiar with money laundering? This is exactly how Tides operates. There is no paper trail, which makes it ideal for high-profile individuals to fund extremist organizations without any record.
There is the Tides Foundation and the Tides Center. Both are virtually of the same entity and, combined, donate roughly $100 million to far left radical groups each year. Drummond Pike is the founder of Tides. He is an extreme anti-war activist. What people need to know is that Tides has funded over 100 radical, left-wing groups, which played a significant role in getting President Obama elected in 2008. The media didn't do any due diligence when they vetted Obama and some recipients of Tides funding were behind this very closely. Here is some information on the organizations that Tides funds. This is taken from the Rich Guys Club:
The Ruckus Society is a group of environmental anarchists dedicated to the violent overthrow of America. One of its projects is to train people to disrupt events such as political party conventions using street blockades and other violent techniques. Its director has publicly stated that, "you can use vandalism strategically." They received $200,000 from the Tides Foundation.
Here are a few more radical groups the Tides funds. This is taken from the Our Liberty 1776 Blog:
Among these are United for Peace and Justice, which is led by pro-Castro activist Leslie Cagan; the National Lawyers Guild, an organization with fifty years of involvement in pro-Communist and anti-American causes; the equally radical Center for Constitutional Rights; and the Council for Islamic Relations, three of whose executives have been indicted for terrorist activities.
CAIR is a radical organization that wants Sharia Law imposed in the United States. Something that few people know is the radical sect of Islam, the Islamic extremists and fundamentalists, will not stop until their religion is the only one left on this planet. Forget arguing or rational thought. If you're not a Muslim, these extremists want you dead. This is something that, unfortunately, you won't find in your child's history book. Tides has funded CAIR. Three of CAIR's leaders have been arrested for pro-Jihadist activities. What does CAIR do? They spend most of their time attacking American efforts to track, monitor, and arrest domestic terrorists. From the Rich Guys Club, "They have opposed virtually every effort by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to monitor Islamic radicals known to be engaged in pro-Jihadist activity."
The reason Habledash is investigating Tides is because of a recent video that's been exposed on FOX News. The video is called the "Story of Stuff." Habledash will not link to this because of the lies and anti-American rhetoric displayed in the video, but we will show the video at the end of this article. What's troubling is that schools have been showing this DVD to thousands of children.
Annie Leonard is the narrator and likely a die-hard feminist who probably doesn't have a boyfriend. Leonard cites information that is incorrect. She claims that 50% of the United States budget goes to the military. Do you know where she got that fact from? The War Resisters League, a hard-left, anti-war organization. The number is more in the range of 20% - 25%. There are other claims she makes that are so far fetched they're not even worth mentioning. So where does the Tides Foundation fit in to this? They funded the video.
Obama has connections to most radical left-wing groups in one way or another. He's the far-lefts Manchurian Candidate. But the question that still remains is why? Why are anti-American groups likes Tides, CAIR, and the Apollo Alliance funding the far-left in this country? Why do they want to turn America into Europe? The more that's uncovered leads us to believe that it's a few elite, hard-left liberal groups that are controlling strategic decisions in this country. Stay tuned as Habledash continues to investigate these organizations.
OGM Shadow... You're a "True Believer"!!! You actually believe all this Right Wing crap!
~ "they allow donors to anonymously contribute money to a variety of causes." YUP! So does the Red Cross, The United Way... lots of non profit groups.
Before we continue, I need to ask you this question... Do you think WAR is a good thing? Do you think being anti-war is a bad thing?
IF you're a War Hawk (like Dirty Dick Cheney) you believe the world is a nasty place full of evil, and we need to be constantly at war stamping out evil before it stamps out us!
If you believe, like most Americans that War is an Evil thing, and should only be used as a last resort, then you are Anti-War.
The fact that the Tides foundation supports anti-war groups is a good thing and should be promoted, not something to be hidden.
Before you jump right to your first Fox or Hannity or any other Rightie site, try to look up the Tides foundation at their website and see if you think they are so evil. You may not agree with their politics, but they aren't the EVIL group as you posted.

Box was the one that posted how good an organization that Tides is which is a crock of crap, it funds a lot of radical left organizations look it up for yourself.
Radical Left Wing Organizations... Anti-War is Radical??? What a RADICAL IDEA...PEACE!
How radical is Social Justice? Equal rights? A clean environment?
It awards grants in the following issue areas:
* Civic Participation * Economic Development * Economic and Racial Justice * Environment * Environmental Justice * LGBTIQ Communities * HIV/AIDS * Native Communities * Progressive Media, Arts and Culture * Violence Prevention * Women's Empowerment and Reproductive Health * Youth Organizing and Development
This is another Right Wing Scare tactic... and the RIGHT EXISTS ON FEAR!

And boxy you will be the first one in line to complain about higher taxes. Yet you support ALL of these 'taxpayer funded' programs. Programs that segregate the electorate. Programs aka 'groups' that are government created. Programs that are nothing more than government programs to garner votes at the taxpayer's expense. Both parties do it and you fall for it!
As for FEAR..........The left wing uses FEAR of the right wing and the right wing uses FEAR of the left! Are you really that blind????
Are you really proud of the fact that you are easily manipulated and brainwashed and dumbed down by your government? You sure do appear to be. Don't you see what is going on?

FEAR... Since I was old enough to follow politics, the RIGHT has used FEAR as a motivator, as a promotion for campaign fund raising, and to drum up support for their candidate. I'm not talking about FEAR of the Right, (OR LEFT).
When I was a boy, The RIGHT led by Joe McCarthy spent every waking hour hammering FEAR OF THE COMMUNISTS! There is still some of that today in the RIGHT... along side of FEAR OF SOCIALISTS, FEAR OF MUSLIMS, FEAR OF GAYS, FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, FEAR OF ANY OTHER RELIGION EXCEPT CHRISTIANITY, FEAR OF CHINA... well they right kind of got over their fear of China once they could make a buck there. FEAR of EVERYTHING NEW!
The LEFT, rightfully so in my opinion, pushes FEAR OF US WARS and I agree.

I guess perception is everything. I grew up with perceived fear tactics and rhetoric from the left. honestly, I'm not just saying that either. really!
My point being.....they both do it!! That is how they manipulate the electorate. We MUST get beyond left and right. It is the government as a whole. They have been abusing their power. All of them. We need to let both the left and the right that we are NOT going to accept the bull crap that they feed our emotions. And that is why they use the 'fear tactics'.....all of them.....they play on the electorate's emotions. Haven't you had enough yet of this bull crap?

You've preached this gospel before... there is no difference right from left...they are the same, and you have a right to your opinions.
I don't agree. The war in Iraq was a war from the right. With out Cheney/Bush, there was no real passion for the invasion of Iraq. 4300 Americans would be alive and so would a hundred thousand Iraqi's. With out the invasion of Iraq, the war in Afghanistan would been pushed to the front of the agenda and possibly BinLaden would have been killed or captured.
You can vote the bums out... but you'll just get NEW BUMS unless you vote in people who are actively promoting your agenda, as Obama has promoted much of mine.
