I just ran across this and started laughing. The anti-war movement is well-funded…which seems to indicate to me that it isn’t REAL PEOPLE protesting, but paid people putting on a show.

“Thousands of George Soros’ revolutionary communist and socialist shills take to the streets” is what it should say.

According to Front Page Magazine’s Richard Poe:¹

In the age of Soros, mainstream Democrats have embraced the thuggish tactics of NPA (National Peoples’ Action) and similar groups. The sudden emergence of street thugs as a force in U.S. politics calls to mind the elevation of similar groups overseas, where Soros often bankrolls street radicals with a zest for physical confrontation. Readers should note that NPA receives funding from the Tides Foundation — an institution to which Soros contributes generously (more than $13 million between 1997 and 2003).²

And then we have…others applying pressure to people who are already PINK…Code Pink camping outside of Nancy Pelosi’s house…but she didn’t like it, so she had them moved to some unsuspecting neighbor down the street.

Update: I don’t mean to say the funding is from George Soros alone:³

Soros and his foundations have had a hand in funding a host of leftist organizations, including⁴ the Tides Foundation; the Tides Center; the National Organization for Women; Feminist Majority; the American Civil Liberties Union; People for the American Way; Alliance for Justice; NARAL Pro-Choice America; America Coming Together; the Center for American Progress; Campaign for America’s Future; Amnesty International; the Sentencing Project; the Center for Community Change; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense and Educational Fund; Human Rights Watch; the Prison Moratorium Project; the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement; the National Lawyers Guild; the Center for Constitutional Rights; the Coalition for an International Criminal Court; The American Prospect; MoveOn.org; Planned Parenthood; the Nation Institute; the Brennan Center for Justice; the Ms. Foundation for Women; the National Security Archive Fund; the Pacifica Foundation; Physicians for Human Rights; the Proteus Fund; the Public Citizen Foundation; the Urban Institute; the American Friends Service Committee; Catholics for a Free Choice; Human Rights First; the Independent Media Institute; MADRE; the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Immigration Law Center; the National Immigration Forum; the National Council of La Raza; the American Immigration Law Foundation; the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee; and the Peace and Security Funders Group.

You needn’t look far to see that all of these organizations have a hand one way or another in the anti-war movement. For example, Public Citizen, founded by Ralph Nader, is a member organization of the Abolition 2000 anti-war coalition, Tides is notorious for its anti-war group funding (including green domestic terrorist groups like Ruckus, Earth First! Elf, etc.), NOW (the National Organization for Women), is a member organization of the Win Without War coalition and drafted a “Resolution to Oppose the War on Terror,” Feminist Majority is a member organization of the National Council of Women’s Organizations and the Win Without War coalition, etc., etc.

Many of these protestors are just doing the jobs they were paid to do - nothing more. The only difference between “them” and honest Americans working in factories and offices, in civil service and schools, is that their job will get them on the network news - and yours will not. Their job is to convince individuals in our American Congress that they will “face political extinction” if they do not “help end the War” - NOW.

Some of these protestors you see on TV and in the newspaper have been “on the payroll” of a massively funded group of 527 organizations. They are being paid $400 cash per week PLUS “free” housing PLUS “free” gasoline. They have spent months in the “professional demonstrator” training program that includes the following: “training in political messaging, earned media, legislative tracking, grassroots organizing, visibilities and other campaign tools.”

It’s pretty easy to find this stuff out if your interested in doing so; I did a simple google search on that last sentenced and turned up an AD for a POSITION as a demonstrator ‘field rep’.

Clue to more “truth serum”: Do your own Google search: Americans Against Escalation in Iraq. The above quotes were taken from the “Iraq Campaign” website, and are the remarks of Tom Matzzie, the director of the Washington, D.C. office of MoveOn.org. ⁵

And of course there is a connection between MoveOn.org and George Soros!⁶

The primary financial backing for these demonstrations is provided, through a highly deceptive network of 527 tax-exempt organizations, by a multi-billionaire, naturalized American citizen, whose stated aim in life is to destroy the entire concept of Nation States and establish a one-world oligarchy. His name is George Soros.

He has imported to America, over the last 30 years, enough of the TNSTAAL virus to accomplish his aim, perhaps even before he goes to meet his Maker. Every time you see or hear the following names, think “George Soros” and the TNSTAAL (There’s No Such Thing As a Lie) virus.⁷

MoveOn.org

Center for American Progress

Center for American Progress Action Fund

Media Matters

Independent Media Institute

Center for Investigative Reporting

Center for Public Integrity

TruthOut.org

Independent Media Center

It is his specialty, after all; he’s also betting against the American dollar in the markets.

For a more comprehensive list of Soros-backed There is No Such Thing As A Lie virus labs, in a special report written by Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media. Kincaid wrote: “His (Soros’) web of financial interests, companies and foundations makes Halliburton look like a Mom & Pop operation.”^{8 9}

We already know that Fenton Communications constructed the Cindy Sheehan PR campaign blitz across the country,¹⁰ so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the slick mass-produced protest signs we are seeing are actually professionally done.

The signs carried by the protestors were designed by professional advertising gurus, at substantial expense to the “backers,” and should be considered with the same skepticism one uses when viewing a commercial for Budweiser or Cheerios. ¹¹

Even though the paid commercial makes it appear that all Americans should only drink Budweiser, just a small amount of “truth serum” will help your immune system determine that there are indeed other brands. Corporate commercials are actually much more free of the TNSTAAL virus, however, and therefore much safer, because Americans already know they are biased to sell more beer. These protest signs, on the other hand, are very dangerous, because they are professionally engineered to appear to represent the true and original convictions of the persons carrying them for free media advertising. ¹²

I’ve seen hundreds of them stacked up, wondering how and who provided the money for these? It must be a devastating sum…

“Americans Against Escalation in Iraq” is in reality a “multi-faceted, multi-million dollar effort,” designed specifically to “target” more than 60 members of the American Congress who are blocking end-the-War-NOW legislation. They are essentially paid lobbyists.

The group uses those precise words to describe itself right on its very own website. The only reason that the networks and newspapers will not tell you about this when they report on the “demonstrations” is that - remember! - they are already so infected with TNSTAAL (There is no such thing as a lie) that they feel no “truth-in-reporting” obligation to more fully inform you. If you indeed get most of your “news” from the mainstream media, you should be so warned now: you probably already have caught the virus from them, as they are quickly spreading it to the rest of the unsuspecting population. Remember, this is a society-fatal virus that has the potential of killing you now if you are a soldier in Iraq, and kill the entire American culture within the next decade. ¹³

From A Pop Quiz: Iraq Anti-War Movement¹⁴
If you follow that money trail, you can see that Tides and the Heinz Foundation (Teresa Heinz Kerry) are involved in the money scheme, and Teresa Heinz Kerry definitely is funding the people in the streets:

Teresa Heinz Kerry: Bag Lady for the Radical Left¹⁵

Tides established the Iraq Peace Fund and the Peace Strategies Fund to fund the antiwar movement. These projects fueled such hysterical protest organizations as MoveOn.org, the website that recently featured two separate commercials portraying George W. Bush as Adolf Hitler. (Howard Dean, not Kerry, won MoveOn.org’s “virtual primary.”)

The antiwar movement often boasted that MoveOn.org and the radical website Indymedia provided them “alternate media coverage.” Indymedia, an enormous news and events bulletin board with local pages in most of the world’s major cities, provided a vital link for radical activists often with violent agendas to coordinate their protests. Indymedia received $376,000 from the Tides Foundation.

The Institute for Global Communications is another leftist communications facilitator that received Tides grant money. IGC, which during the 1990s was the leading provider of web technology to the radical Left, links to “recommended sites” such as the War Resisters League (a group whose purpose is enabling peaceniks to refuse to pay taxes) and the leftist American Friends Service Committee. Most disturbing is the link to Ramsey Clark’s International Action Center, which has supported Slobodan Milosevic and North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Il. The IAC is the force behind International ANSWER, which sponsored the major antiwar (and anti-Bush) rallies before the invasion of Iraq. When ANSWER was outed as a Communist organization, United for Peace and Justice, headed by longtime Communist Party member Leslie Cagan was created as a “moderate” alternative. UFPJ is also a Tides grant recipient.The Tides-funded “A Better Way Project,” which opposed war in Iraq, also coordinated efforts of United for Peace and Justice and the Win Without War Coalition. The celebrity-laden Win Without War Coalition, along with the Bill Moyers-funded Florence and John Schumann Foundation, ran full-page ads in the New York Times opposing the War on Terrorism. This will not be the last overlapping of far-Left causes.

Another well-funded 501(c)(3) organization is the Ruckus Society, which provides domestic terrorist training (identified as such by the FBI) and is connected to Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin,¹⁶ Leslie Cagan’s United for Peace and Justice, etc.¹⁷ Ruckus is funded by Tides, also.¹⁸ Zach Exley, one of Ruckus’ infamous trainers and online activists, became the online representative for the Kerry Campaign.¹⁹

The Ruckus Society’s “action camps” have also provided training to thousands of radical activists in the techniques of agitation, disruption and how to select targets. *snip* Among the topics taught at these boot camps for radicals have been “street blockades,” “police confrontation strategies” and “using the media to your advantage.”²⁰

More on the Soros/Ruckus connection here.²¹

But of course, Meatbrain would have a problem with pointing any of this out; so his response is to call it a ‘lie’. Everything that promotes conservative values is a ‘lie’ according to Meatbrain, who apparently takes his marching orders from Media Matters and the Center for American Progress.

One final word here on TNSTAAL (There is no such thing as a lie): There is indeed such a thing as a lie. The best way to make certain that lies go undetected is to intentionally sow confusion about the truth. An especially well-known way to deflect the truth is to accuse you of lying first. The most fertile ground for the seeds of deception has always been, and will forever be, the ground of confusion. ²²

In this respect, Meatbrain’s tactics are completely transparent.
