It is incredible to witness the thousands of private tax-exempt foundations, which could be donating billions of dollars to address domestic medical and educational needs, doggedly funding their own ideological objectives in myriad ways that harm the United States. As documented in my new book Foundations of Betrayal: How the Liberal Super-Rich Undermine America, hundreds of these big foundations specifically underwrite agendas aimed at radically changing the United States.
My research concluded that, along with the environmental groups that peddle fear and flawed science, the most popular recipient of massive foundation money is the vocal open borders and "multicultural" lobby that, among other things, backs amnesty for 15 million-plus illegal aliens and so-called foreign "guest worker programs.
This lobby consists of numerous foundation-supported advocacy groups seeking to change the demographic composition and culture of the United States. One of the most militant is the National Immigration Forum, which received over $3.3 million in grants in 2004 alone from the Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, George Soros' Open Society Institute and even the Fannie Mae Foundation.
The Forum, which works with U.S. senators like Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts to secure congressional passage of illegal immigrant amnesty, was founded by civil rights attorney Rick Swartz and mightily assisted by Harriet Schaffer Rabb, a Ford Foundation trustee and co-director of the Immigration Law Clinic at Columbia School of Law. Swartz as replaced as executive director in 1990 by someone even more radical- Frank Sharry, who previously headed the Boston-based Centro Presente. That august group assisted Central American "sanctuary" movements that hid immigrants from the law and supported the pro-Communist Sandinista dictatorship against the Reagan administration-backed Contra insurgency in Nicaragua.
Along with the Ford and Soros-funded American Civil Liberties Union, two organizations suing state and local governments attempting to control illegal immigration are the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) and La Raza (Spanish for "The Race"). The former is heavily funded by the Ford, Rockefeller and Tides foundations, as well as by the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Bank of America, General Motors and the Levi Strauss Foundation. Big La Raza donors include the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the J.P. Morgan Chase Foundation, the John and Catherine MacArthur Foundation, the Bank of America and the William Randolph Hearst Foundations.
Foundations of Betrayal names the Ford Foundation, with its assets of over $11 billion, as the most radical- with Soros' Open Society Institute "No. 2 and trying harder." The National Immigration Forum, MALDEF and La Raza collectively received more than $3.25 million from Ford just since 2005. Ford's website highlights its support of many political advocacy groups such as the Migration Policy Institute, the Immigrant Workers Citizenship Project and the Lesbian and Gay Immigration Rights Task Force.
Colleges are also given grants for coddling illegal immigrants, like the University of Texas for its "Mexican border philanthropy project." Hundreds of similar Ford Foundation recipients could be listed but space doesn't permit it. In fact, it was Ford that provided the seed money to found MALDEF in 1968.
An influential organization hostile to American nationalism is the New York City-based Council on Foreign Relations. An objective look at this internationalist organization reveals that it has been consistently underwritten for decades by leading foundations including Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie.
As cited in Foundations:
"Consider a recent CFR foray- a People's Republic of North America. How does one explain the vice chairman of its task force on North America, in a 2006 appearance before a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, recommending a merger of the United States, Mexico and Canada into a North American Union? Dr. Robert Pastor coupled it with a proposal to expedite Latin American trucks crossing the erased borders via new toll superhighways running through Middle America. Pastor further advocated a "North American dispute resolution" super-court to issue rulings affecting all three countries. All of this and more is contained in an official 59-page CFR report."
Cable News Network commentator Lou Dobbs, in addressing this plan, remarked that its elite proponents have "gone utterly mad."
Instead of insanity, however, the liberal super-rich elites of the foundation world are committed to a starry-eyed, globalist mission. My book quotes a third generation Rockefeller, Laura Rockefeller Chasin, actually saying, "It's hard to get rid of the money in a way that does more good than harm. On of the ways is to subsidize people who are trying to change the system and get rid of people like us." Soros also chimes in with a chilling quote: "The main obstacle to a just and stable world is the United States."
This self-hating mindset underscores what the large majority of patriotic Americans are up against. It is an agenda that says: "Let the barbarians into the gate. Give money to them. The United States, or whatever it will be called in the future, will then be a better place." And America's leading foundations, many hijacked in recent years by radicals, fuel this approach-- with their model of a multiethnic, multilingual version of Brazil apparently being the perfect replacement.
President Thomas Jefferson warned, "The issue today is the same as it has been throughout history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." How true that is, especially as we witness the big foundation elites and their allies on Capitol Hill and in the media pulling out all the stops to secure illegal alien amnesty, to oppose English as our official language and to allow additional foreign workers to flood our country to replace Americans.

Foundations of Betrayal offers a fresh inside look at an overlooked enemy - hundreds of big tax-exempt, leftist foundations that despise free enterprise and, yes, even our Constitution and America's sovereignty. "Wealth controls culture" and Phil Kent names the control freaks - old-timers like the Ford and Rockefeller foundations as well as devious newcomers like George Soros. Issues ranging from radical environmentalism to open borders serve as their main battering rams to remold America. These unaccountable elites also pay church groups to join their leftward march. They even promote deviant sexual behavior.

imposed on United States by brown-shirt racist Mexiophiles was wrong and evil, and after 160 years of brown-shirt stubborn refusal to end it, the chickens are trying to invade the U.S. to roost, all attempts at demonizing Americans or blaming them for not closing the border by the rightwing is being pure knee-jerk brown-shirt KKK, a refusal to think and find solutions. Our poor southern neighbors are ARE barbarians, uneducated, leeches coming in the gates like a horde of wild animals, and they ARE an invasion army, stealing jobs such as agricultural, construction and house work that Americans can do. The Huns are Mexicans, sorry truth is the truth.
The age-old pesky U.S.-Mexico border problem has taxed ONLY the U.S. side since Mexico provides NO compensation for what Mexico’s people do. Mexico’s own President encourages illegal’s to cross the border and steal jobs which has led to long lists of injustices to Americans by the hands of illegal’s, and appears to be heading only for worse troubles in the future. Guess what? The border problem can be solved. Because the border fence can solve the problem! It has been proven to stop illegal immigration along with ARMED patrols. It's time for a paradigm change.
We’ve covered Mexico’s debt for over 160 years and now they are trying to bite the hand that feeds them. It’s time for War, to stop the endless slaughter of Americans on a daily basis by the hands of illegals. It’s time to close the borders once and for all so no more Americans can be murder by these heathens. We need to treat our southern border like Mexico treats its southern border with DEADLY FORCE and EXTREME PREJUDICE to protect the United States from foreign brown-shirt KKK Mexophile invaders. We need to preserve our culture and our way of life, not become another 3rd world cesspool like Mexico.

It's time to end the 1848 Apartheid now, before matters grow worse, all the attempts at amnesty being only temporary fixes that don't get to the root problem. One great racial injustice was solved in 1861-5 after a bloody civil war led by Abraham Lincoln. Was he a leftist traitor funded by evil international bankers and the super-rich who was out to ruin the U.S.? If you think so, you need help. One down, one to go. Read on.
The age-old pesky U.S.-Mexico border problem has taxed the resources of both countries, led to long lists of injustices, and appears to be heading only for worse troubles in the future. Guess what? The border problem can never be solved. Why? Because the border IS the problem! It's time for a paradigm change.
Never fear, a satisfying, comprehensive solution is within reach: the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Simply dissolve the border along with the failed Mexican government, and megamerge the two countries under U.S. law, with ma*s free 2-way migration eventually equalizing the development and opportunities permanently, with justice and without racism, and without threatening U.S. sovereignty or basic principles.
Take the time to click the url and read about the new paradigm for U.S.-Mexico relations, which is neither leftist, rightist, or middle of the road, because it's about finally overcoming racism and healing all wounds to make the U.S. bigger and better forever, and more able to secure its borders against Muslim terrorists.
