Looks like the Tea Party is no longer just a grassroots movement with attendees having no problem shoveling out the dough, to support the cause and not caring to know where the big money is coming from for the events, slogans, and speakers. Gavrielle Gemma Organizer for the Bail Out the People Movement explains how think tanks are feeding sound bites to people like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and how corporations funding these right-wing movements.

1. It was well known T-baggers were astroturf ... Dick Armey's firm...Freedom Works? ....
and run out of a PR firm guaranteed to get them media attention --

Keep in mind, GOP gave start-up funding for the Christian Coalition in 1980 -- *

And Richard Scaife funded Dobson's organization -- and other wealthy Repugs funded Bauer's.


The only way the right wing can rise is through violence -- political violence/assassination --

and stolen elections. The LARGE computers used by MSM and the voting computers all began to

come in during the mid-and-late-1960's. Until then, MSM could only report actual vote tallies.

The large computers gave them new powers to PREDICT and CALL election -- winning candidates --

Electoral College Votes by state -- and presidential winners. What we saw in 2000, was simply

a reversal of those new powers!

Coincidentally, these computers began to come in just about the time America was passing

The Voting Rights Act!






* Needless to say, a necessity due to the Youth Revolution of late 1960's which was not simply

about human sexuality -- it was about a challenge to ALL authority --

patriarchy, food, clothing, ways to be free, drugs, sex, religion, medicare care, medicines --

alternative energy --

2. Meet Sal Russo Tea Party Express Founder


He has been working for republicans since 1966 ..... the idea that the tea party is an
organic grass roots diverse organization is laughable ...... when the powers that be
saw they were going to lose they invented the tea party because W bush had made the
name republican toxic.

3. Rule by the wealthy
Plutocracy in America

Dissing the tea party is a huge mistake. It's far too easy to
point at fringe personalities and describe this movement as a
collection of crazy yokels. This group is organized and funded
by the wealthy concerns of America. Most of their names are
well hidden by political groups that are not required to
disclose information. Here's why the tea party is a real
concern:

1. These are hard economic times that result in large portions
of our country worried and eager to complain. Point them at
the Democratic Party blaming it and you've just brought
millions under your tent. Never mind the responsibility of the
party that got America into such money problems and 2,
long-playing, expensive wars. Blame the liberal,
money-spending democrats and you pull in many supporters

2. Purport that you are for smaller government and more
freedom and you get millions of Americans to shake their heads
in agreement. Sounds good in theory but this truly equates to
removing laws restricting large business from raping and
poisoning America for greater profits. It is the freedom to
send jobs overseas and move your corporate offices to a
building in another country to avoid paying taxes. These are
the true goals of the tea party. Smaller government is
privatizing social security and eliminating all government
programs to help the poorest Americans. Smaller government is
eliminating public school funding. The only folks enjoying
more freedom are the ultra-wealthy and the corporations they
control.

3. The tea party supports many concerns of religious
conservatives. That is enough to yank millions into their
fold. Millions of us are not able to differentiate religious
conservatism from political conservatism. 

4. State that you want to "Take America Back" and
you have lots of patriotic folks lining up as well as roping
in militaristic, fringe groups. The tea party has used this
strategy to pull in many folks who, for one of many reasons,
feel disenfranchised.

So, you can point to tea party members and try to use them as
reasons to be against the tea party but then you have been
duped. The real reason for the tea party is the funded
concerns of the ultra-wealthy. They don't really care if
you're unhappy with our government. They don't care about your
schools, freedom, religion or complaints. Their interests are
in the large amount of money you will invest with them instead
of social security. Their interests are in lower taxes for the
wealthy. Their interests are for less regulation on how they
do business to make money in America. America has quietly
become a plutocracy (rule by the wealthy) and doesn't know it
yet.
