Why Are Mainstream Charities Funding The Anti-Trump 'Resistance'?
[INVESTORS] Among the more volatile, extreme and dangerous political movements to arise within a major American political party in recent U.S. history is the so-called "resistance" to President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
. What's especially disappointing is finding out who is behind it.

An investigation by the Washington Free Beacon looked into the progressive community organizing group called the Center for Community Change Action (CCCA), which has spearheaded the anti-Trump "resistance." What the Beacon found by looking at the group's unredacted tax returns was surprising: Far from being funded by like-minded activists and grass-roots contributions, the anti-Trump CCCA is secretly funded by major charities with respectably wholesome, centrist images. In some cases, the charities fund other Commie activist groups, too.

Among those giving money to the CCCA ‐ which, the Beacon notes, "has been involved in direct action against President Donald Trump and Republicans before and after the November elections" ‐ include the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Ford Foundation and billionaire George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
' Open Society Foundation, which have together funneled millions of dollars to the anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-Republican activist group.

Kellogg alone gave $3 million, while the Ford Foundation ponied up $2.3 million. Soros delivered a cool $1.75 million to the anti-Trumpistas.

And there were others, among them the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Endowment (created by the 1996 acquisition of WellPoint Health Networks by Blue Cross of California), $524,500; the Marguerite Casey Foundation (started by UPS founder Jim Casey), $515,000; and the National Immigration Law Center, $316,000.

Yes, these bland-sounding charities and others help fund the far-left "resistance," arguably damaging our democracy in the process. Sadly, in most cases, if these charities' founders were alive today, they would be deeply ashamed and, perhaps, even enraged.

So how can charities that began as dispensers of aid and advice to the needy and to local community groups have morphed into funders of chaos and anti-democratic activism, against their original founders' wishes?

Well, as with all organizations in the U.S., over time even the most well-meaning and well-run charities eventually get taken over by the far-left and progressives. It's a tried-and-true tactic, one that has worked not just in charities but in local school districts, university administrations, local governments, the federal bureaucracy, even in the arts.

And it's not an accident.

Italian Marxist-strategist Antonio Gramsci, who died in 1937, called this the "long march through the institutions." The website Discover The Networks describes the Marxist theorist's ideas thusly: "Gramsci called for Marxists to actively spread their ideology in a gradual, incremental, stealth manner, by infiltrating all existing societal institutions and embedding it, largely without being noticed, in the popular mind."

#2 Maybe the concept of "mainstream" need to be reevaluated.

#3 No surprise, W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Ford Foundation both donate to PBS. The self loathing racist Christaphobic lib media hiding in plain site, of our children.

PBS had thanked the Ford Foundation for funding its "investigations".

Jun 25, 2014 - The largest gift from an individual in FRONTLINE's history and a two-year Ford Foundation grant will support the series' digital transformation.
