If you were wondering why Obama seems willing to go to the mat for a bigot who was anti-gay and anti-abortion, but wasnt willing to stand up for a black female nominee, heres a little hint. Its not about what you believe, its about which evil billionaire you work for.
Former Sen. Chuck Hagel, President Obamas nominee for defense secretary, serves on the board of a George Soros-funded group that advocates a nuclear-free world.
The Ploughshares Fund has a long history of anti-war advocacy and is a partner of the Marxist-oriented Institute for Policy Studies, which has urged the defunding of the Pentagon and massive decreases in U.S. defense capabilities, including slashing the American nuclear arsenal to 292 deployed weapons.
The Poughshares Fund has also partnered with a whos who of the radical left, including Code Pink, the pro-Palestinian J Street, United for Peace & Justice, the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation and the Demos progressive group, where Obamas former green jobs czar, Van Jones, serves on the board.
Ploughshares Fund identifies itself as a publicly supported foundation that funds, organizes and innovates projects to realize a world free from the threat of nuclear weapons.
The fund calls itself the largest grant-making foundation in the U.S. focusing exclusively on peace and security issues. Since its founding in 1981 by San Francisco philanthropist and activist Sally Lilienthal, Ploughshares says it has awarded many hundreds of grants whose aggregate value exceeded $60 million.
Peace and security means appeasement and surrender.
