Another seditious non-profit group
There's a new kid on the block in the land of leftist anti-American organizations. This one calls itself the "International Endowment for Democracy". It's a non-profit whose aim is to help finance the activities of leftist organizations throughout the United States through international contributions. You'll recognize many of the board members -- Ramsey Clark, Howard Zinn, Gore Vidal, Sandra Levinson, Director of the pro-castro Center for Cuban Studies, and Leonard Weinglass, attorney for the "Cuban 5".
Visit their website where you can read their preamble that begins with these probing questions, referring to the U.S., "What does the country that has just experienced two stolen presidential elections like to call itself? -- "The Greatest Democracy in the World", and What name did the U.S. government give to the organization it set up to subvert foreign governments (including Haiti and Venezuela whose presidents were honestly elected) of which it disapproves? -- "Democracy Nation Building". Linked together on their sidebar is the Declaration of Independence and the Communist Manifesto.
The non-profit designation in the tax code should be revised to end government supported sedition.

This is high comedy! What right thinking person can take them seriously? They are just background noise with no real, lasting influence on anyone. They have nominations for a "Noble Prize" in Democracy. Nominees are our "friends" Harry Belafonte, Angela Davis, Noam Chomsky, Cindy Sheehan, et al. Here is the email address to submit your own nominations: comment@iefd.org. If you have nothing better to do, flood their email server with deserving nominees.
This represents a last gasp, a dying ember of a failed ideology that has the legacy of one hundred million dead. Long live the counter-revolution!
Louis, these groups sustain the "myth" of che and castro's "revolution", myths that have enabled the world to turn their backs on forty seven years of Cuban slaughter and suffering, so pardon me for not laughing.
Thank you to all the babalu-bloggers for exposing all of this - the org mentioned in the post is bad, but there are even badder ones such as the ARCA FOUNDATION - check it out!
But the worse is the Christopher Reynolds foundation - they exist ONLY for CUBA and to help CASTRO!!! Check them out here:

They have given millions and millions to Castro. I want Cuban Americans to know about this. I am afraid a lot of us don't know about this.
Mandingo, you are exactly right about the Christopher Reynolds Foundation, and the others. The damage they have done is incalculable. Thank you.
