The chart from 2002 that illustrates how powerful U.S. Establishment foundations with millions to billions of dollars in assets have been subsidizing, since the early 1990s, various alternative media groups was actually put together by Eric Salter for the http://www.questionsquestions.net site. The information upon which the chart was based can be found in the series I wrote on alternative media censorship, some of which can be found on the http://www.leftgatekeepers.com site. Some updated information on recent Schumann Center for Media & Democracy grants to the same alternative media groups which have tended to limit access to left media outlets for anti-war activists who have questioned the validity of the corporate media’s official version of what happened on 9/11/01 or who examine U.S. foundations from an anti-war left/anti-corporate perspective can also be found on the http://www.bfeldman68.blogspot.com As Domhoff noted in his Who Rules America? classic book and as Joan Roelofs indicated in her more recent Foundations and Public Policy book, unless anti-war activists understand the role that U.S. Establishment foundations play in global politics and how their grants are used to specially influence the political priorities of U.S. left groups, one cannot fully understand how political trends and ngos develop in the world. To quickly locate the alternative media censorship series, you might try googling under “alternative media censorship/left gatekeepers foundations bob feldman”

Yes .. bit by (electronic) bit, more are wondering, I think, just how far the thugs have gone and are prepared to go.

I think it’s interesting that Roberts , who Phil points out was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Contributing Editor of National Review, refers to false flag ops.

I guess pointing to them is not restricted to conspiraloons anymore.

Good.

Not completely on-topic, but I think not unrelated .. this post on GiftHub with links to The River blog.

On good soldiers, block captains and the tyranny of good intentions.

I have a word. Immobility I am not making any big points here, I just have a word. I should probably have a verb, though. Immobilize There, now bring it on...

Old preview function was funky at best. Hopefully new one will be better. Right now working on the important stuff like tidying up the dog pictures.

Searching on the quote below the title of the chart:

“If they don’t like what we’re doing, we don’t get funded next year.”

I came up with this site.

Near the bottom of that page, a footnote:

¹……….See Barrie Zwicker, Towers of Deception, p. 223. You’ll find there a full page flow-chart under the title “THE GATEKEEPERS: Foundations Fund Phony ‘Left’ Media.” Zwicker provides a quote from TomPaine.com’s Executive Director, John Moyers,that explains the power of foundation-derived “hush money”: “If they don’t like what we’re doing, we don’t get funded next year.” Look closely on p. 233, and you’ll find Amy Goodman’s name.
