ASMFC finds NC out of Compliance on Weakfish FMP

Pew is evil, there is little doubt, but what do they stand to gain from their multi-directional attacks on our society ?

This report gives some more insight into the depth of the Pew influence on our government and the public perception of their various crises and how they operate >>>

They have their fingers into a whole lot of critical issues that will change our way of life in this country >>> if they succeed !

Phin, I, like you, am very disturbed by what I’m seeing. Particularly disturbing is the fact that so few are seeing the big picture or even take the time to be educated. I know that this all seems cynical and even paranoid to most. I do hope I’m reading things incorrectly and the good folks running Pew, etc have our country’s best interests at heart >>> but I doubt they do !

Thank you for helping to fill that gap in what I’ve been posting.

I’ve found lots more evidence of what I’m saying- and again- I far from the only one who has come to the same conclusion rather quietly and independently. It all boils down to following the money. You can find where the agenda’s being generated, and you can find where the agenda’s been spread. Just follow the money. And follow the politics. Look especially for public stands that don’t make any logical sense, and look for public figures swearing they’re on the right side (but when you ask them if they’ve even read the legislation of the regulation- they have not).

Money and power corrupts. Who can argue this is not true?

Who can prove to me that Pew’s money does not come directly from natural resource exploitation?

Who can prove to me that Pew will not profit from closing wild-caught seafood by being nose deep in offshore mariculture investments?

Who can prove to me that Pew will not profit when an oil spill ruins the gulf and hurts our fishing off South Carolina by them being invested in tar sands and ANWR and other “domestic production?”

Who can prove to me that every single time there’s major social and environmental policy change in this country, that Pew doesn’t make at least 4 times what it pays out in foundation grants to various orgs that once were grassroots or were never grassroots- both turned into disguises for advancement of Pew’s agenda.

Pew’s agenda is to use fanatical environmentalists to give credence to it’s financial and political aims. Pew’s agenda is to turn grassroots politics into grasstops politics. Nobody will know how they’ve been used to hurt themselves until it’s too late. When you have grassroots power- it comes from work- you get tired of working and just want a seat at the table with the big boys. You get tired of doing what’s right and being defeated. You take the money and sit at the table to get a little of what you want in exchange for keeping your mouths shut and letting the big boys’ ag

Below is current up to only 2001. Then following the money gets more difficult… interestingly enough.

Pew is opening a D.C. office with 300+ employees soon, btw. They’re moving there from their former home in PA.

Money can buy you LOTS of friends… even when those friends would normally be opposed to what you wanted.

The trusts have various avenues for grants including Public policy, culture, education, health and human services, environment, and Religion. The statements which are Reconstructionist in nature, state: “The Religion program seeks to advance a deeper understanding of religion’s contribution to the ideas, beliefs, morals and institutions that shape culture and society, and to help people of faith improve their efforts to make a greater contribution to contemporary public life…To strengthen American democracy by increasing public understanding of religion’s role in civic affairs and enhancing religious communities’ contribution to public life…To integrate the academic study of religion and Christian scholars more fully into American higher education…”

In an article titled Religion and the Public Square: Religious Grantmaking at The Pew Charitable Trusts by Luis E. Lugo it is stated,

"…The Religion program at the Trusts has carved out a unique niche in the world of philanthropy as the foremost supporter of evangelical and other orthodox Christian scholars and of the study of American evangelicalism… from the very beginning the Trusts have funded many large, mainstream religious endeavors, and the Religion program continues to fund a broadly ecumenical range of projects…the Religion program continued to devote over fifty percent of its budget to evangelical agencies and programs…the huge gulf between evangelical, orthodox Christians and social elites contributes in no small way to the widely recognized fragmentation of America’s public culture…the Trusts are ideally situated to help overcome this mutual alienation by encouraging civilized dialogue between evangelical, orthodox Christian and other intellectual leaders in America…The Religion program is currently exploring a variety of means to support studies of the impact of
