: ALTERNATIVE MEDIA CENSORSHIP: SPONSORED BY CIA's FORD FOUNDATION?
: by bob feldman
: "The mass-circulation weekly TEMPO accused Ford of having once played,
: at the urging of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, a covert role
: in Indonesian political affairs by consciously supporting the work
: of individuals who were deemed to be sympathetic to the
: anti-communist aims of American foreign policy." --Chronicle of
: Philanthropy, 12/13/01
: "The Ford Foundation's history of collaboration and interlock with
: the CIA in pursuit of U.S. world hegemony is now a well-documented
: fact...The Ford Foundation has in some ways refined their style of
: collaboration with Washington's attempt to produce world cultural
: domination, but retained the substance of that policy...The ties
: between the top officials of the Ford Foundation and the U.S.
: government are explicit and continuing." --James Petras in "The Ford
: Foundation and the CIA: A documented case of philanthropic
: collaboration with the Secret Police" on 12/15/2001
: The multi-billion dollar Ford Foundation's historic relationship to the
: Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] is rarely mentioned on Pacifica's
: DEMOCRACY NOW / Deep Dish TV show, on FAIR's COUNTERSPIN show, on the
: WORKING ASSETS RADIO show, on The Nation Institute's RADIO NATION show,
: on David Barsamian's ALTERNATIVE RADIO show or in the pages of
: PROGRESSIVE, MOTHER JONES and Z magazine. One reason may be because the
: Ford Foundation and other Establishment foundations subsidize the
: Establishment Left's alternative media gatekeepers / censors.
