Obsession: or how to use fear to win elections

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Today my wife received in the snail mail an 'interesting' DVD titled: Obsession, Radical Islam's war against the west. This was sent by The Clarion Fund which upon some research happens to be a 501(3) non-for-profit organization (not deserving it*). This is a propaganda film trying to convey how Islam is out to get us, and despite claiming to be non partisan, according to a blog I found researching the movie, an article in their website (now removed) endorsed McSame.

I wonder what else they have in stock for the next two months. 

* I work for a valid 501(3) to know that these quacks don't deserve name nor the tax exemption.

This is a LOVELY idea for a group with a bit of spare change to reach a large audience quickly.  Ignoring production costs, DVD + mailout could be under $1 per target recipient.

Disgusting application, but I'm starting to compile a (mental) list of methods to mount a guerrilla resistance against big-money propaganda machines.

A Jews On First article about it.
"Who, what and where is the Clarion Fund?
Because it was established only recently, the Clarion Fund has not yet filed its first required disclosure (Form 990) with the IRS. It is not disclosing its officers.

The address Clarion used to satisfy the New York Times' requirement that political or opinion advertisements include the advertiser's contact information -- 255 West 36th St., Suite 800, in Manhattan -- turns out to be Grace Corporate Park Executive Suites, an office-space rental operation which also rents "virtual office identity packages" for as little as $75 a month.

The Clarion Fund's only previous known address was that of its incorporator, New York attorney Eli Greenberg, on Madison Avenue. Gregory Ross said the Fund was based in New York and California.

Ross described the fund's staff as "sizeable," but did not give a number. Ross said that Clarion Fund is involved in "three linked efforts: documentary films, online education and college outreach," including sending speakers to campuses.

He also said that Clarion will not disclose its donors' names. He described them as "private American individuals that span the political spectrum."

Ross said people have been coming forward with donations. "As we are doing this effort, people have been contacting us, saying 'We think this is amazing. We want to contribute.'"

When pressed for details about his own career, Ross said that "for the privacy of everyone involved, we try to limit" information. "

Got another vid coming out called The Third Jihad.

Sounds like the Zionist Arm of PNAC to me...
