Very few Americans realize there exists a large network of far left philanthropists and foundations in America dedicated to destroying the American way of life, our Christian-based culture and our free enterprise system.\u00a0 They seek to remove America from its constitutional foundations and move it toward a European-style socialism.\u00a0 Much of this effort is coordinated by a little known group called the Tides Foundation and its related group, the Tides Center.<\/p>\n

The Strategic Principles of the Tides Foundation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Over the course of its 33 year history<\/a>, the Tides network has given hundreds of millions of dollars to anti-free enterprise groups, gun control groups, anti-private property groups, abortion rights groups, homosexual groups, groups engaged in voter fraud, anti-military<\/a> groups, and organizations that seek to destroy America\u2019s constitutional basis. All told, over 100 leftist organizations have received funding from one of the two Tides groups.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, this network of anti-American groups played a key role in electing Barack Obama<\/a> by using classic propaganda techniques in making false allegations about Bush (he lied regarding WMDs, he stole the election in Florida, he knew in advance about 9\/11<\/a>, etc, etc.) and created the impression that Bush and by extension, the GOP, was corrupt.\u00a0 Obama<\/a>, of course, was portrayed as the reformer who would save America from this corruption.<\/p>\n

Millions of Americans fell for this mythology and so without being openly partisan, this vast network of far left groups, along with its media<\/a> allies, was able to manipulate American public opinion during the last election cycle.\u00a0 Meanwhile, anyone who tried to reveal Obama<\/a>\u2019s real agenda, his role in the corrupt Chicago political machine, his socialist political associations, or his soft spot for Middle Eastern terrorists was labeled a kook by this same network.<\/p>\n

The amount of funding the Tides Foundation and Tides Center provides the hard left is unprecedented. Indeed, its financial disclosures show that the Tides Center has raised between $48 and $71 million each year since 1998 and the bulk of this revenue is contributed back to far left groups. The closely-aligned Tides Foundation has reported revenues of between $59 and $77 million every year since 2002.\u00a0 The two tax exempt groups are supposed to be non-partisan, but they are certainly extremely political and they push the envelope regarding what non-profit groups are allowed to do politically.\u00a0 \u00a0All together, both Tides groups have contributed over $500 million to the organized left.<\/p>\n

The list of hard-left causes is long and there is not enough space to review them all.\u00a0 But here\u2019s a brief review of a few of them:<\/p>\n
