Individuals who profit exceedingly well for "non-profit" organizations

Haaretz reports on How much do U.S. Jewish leaders make? It is taken from the Jewish Daily Forward's article that focuses not on some of the excessive salaries but on the disparity between the positions and pay of men and women. Without looking into each and every one, I take it they all are 'classified' as non-profits, charities, religious and educational organizations.

The entire chart is here but let's look at one of them, the Anti-Defamation League and their 'leader' Abe Foxman.

Photobucket

Over a half a mil a year is a lot of profit for Foxman for his anti-truth hate speech. The ADL is classified as a not-for-profit organization recognized as tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). What does the IRS say are the requirements?
To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates. source

In general, no organization may qualify for section 501(c)(3) status if a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation (commonly known as lobbying). A 501(c)(3) organization may engage in some lobbying, but too much lobbying activity risks loss of tax-exempt status.

An organization will be regarded as attempting to influence legislation if it contacts, or urges the public to contact, members or employees of a legislative body for the purpose of proposing, supporting, or opposing legislation, or if the organization advocates the adoption or rejection of legislation. source
"Some lobbying but not too much?" Who defines that? As a current example, is this the ADL advocating adoption of legislation in disregard to IRS rules?
"We urge the Senate to do its part and to pass the DREAM Act without delay."
It sure seems as if they are advocating legislation to me. I guess the ADL gets around the rules by just saying yeah we're lobbying, but not too much. No one in Congress or the IRS is going to call them out on it anyway.


AIPAC is a 501C4 non-profit and they pay their top dog very well for the job of seeing to it that we give Israel billions of dollars each year and fight their wars for them. Something's very wrong when a nest of spies is classified as a non-profit.

The IRmep Center for Policy and Law Enforcement has filed a 1,389 page complaint demanding that AIPAC's tax exempt status be retroactively revoked.

They have the details, a rock solid case, but don't hold your breath on that one.


So check out the chart. If we had the time we could go on and on about most of them. These are not the soup kitchens and charitable groups we tend to think of non-profits as being but propagandists, Israel firsters and agenda driven profiteers. Some could be even be called thieves, sanctioned by the IRS.

Serving Two Masters







I pledge allegiance to .....







Not to outdone by the House, the U.S. Senate has 76 members sign an AIPAC approved letter to Secretary of the State of War Hillary Clinton to "to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds that tie the United States and Israel together."

The glue that holds the 'bonds' together is money, threats and blackmail. Few will dare to rock the zionist boat for fear of being thrown overboard.

Why wasn't it 100%? Well, a few always get a pass with a wink and a nod so as not to give the appearance of total subservience to the foreign agents of AIPAC and Israel. John Kerry didn't sign but there's little doubt as to his dual loyalties. Senator Feinstein is not on the list but you can be sure she was probably just unavailable as she is a staunch Zionist and war profiteer.

Congress is also being whipped into a contrived frenzy for imposing 'crippling sanctions' on Iran. 363 in the House signed another letter demanding immediate action.

Of course it's not only Congress. Al-Manar reports:
Obama Reluctant to Answer Questions on Israeli Nuclear Program!

U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday urged all countries, including Israel, to sign the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or NPT.

"Whether we're talking about Israel or any other country, we think that becoming part of the NPT is important," Obama said. "And that, by the way, is not a new position. That's been a consistent position of the United States government, even prior to my administration."


"Initially you were talking about US behavior, and then suddenly we're talking about Israel. Let me talk about the United States," the president said.

“I do think that as part of the NPT, our obligation, as the largest nuclear power in the world, is to take steps to reducing our nuclear stockpile. And that's what the START treaty was about, sending a message that we are going to meet our obligation...as far as Israel goes, I'm not going to comment on their program.”

{more}

"No man can serve two masters."

That's the way it works. By bowing to the influence of Israel, our government puts the interests of the vast majority of Americans in a far distant second place finish.

Over 7,500 Traitors

That's the number expected to attend this year's AIPAC conference, March 21-23.

While there they will get some talking points from war criminals and psychopaths Tony Blair and  Benjamin Netanyahu. Hillary Clinton also will speak before the faithful that will include many members of the Senate and House.


 
AIPAC brags how they have so many non-jew dupes and deceived Christians attending.
You might think that Israel is strictly a Jewish issue. But with a quick look around the Washington Convention Center during the next three days, you'd see that the pro-Israel movement in the United States is growing more diverse each year. Jews and non-Jews, religious and secular, African Americans and Latinos-all of them are here to show their support for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.

 In addition, 50 pastors and church leaders are attending the conference, which for the fourth year in a row features programming specifically designed for Christian supporters of the Jewish state. A panel discussion this afternoon called "Friends of Faith" will examine the roots of Christian Zionism and explore how pro-Israel Christians and Jews can work together in the political arena to strengthen Israel's security.
Even more incredulous is the 'theme' of this year's treason fest.
The theme of this year's conference is "Israel: Tell the Story." Conference programming will highlight the many facets of Israel-an innovator, a Jewish homeland, a light unto the nations and much more.  
There's a lot of talk about a rift in US-Israeli relations but it's most likely Lights, Camera, Distraction. The Lobby will put the pressure on to make sure no US taxpayer money and armament welfare to Israel is disturbed.

AIPAC is a foreign agent and spy agency. They have bought and blackmailed many in Congress and the administration. Federal officials cower at the threat of loss of their jobs or worse if support for Israel is not given.

AIPAC's Orwellian doublespeak and actions are a sickness imposed on the American people. Let's just call it as it is .... AIPAC is treasonous and those that support them are traitors.

~~~

Medea Benjamin of Code Pink says they will protest and try to disrupt the conference. That's good but until CP opens up on 9/11 and Israeli complicity in the attacks, we'll still look at them with a wary eye. 

Benjamin says in the video below:
"And then there's just a parade of congresspeople who go through there {AIPAC}, it's like they continue to bow down to this organization that supports the worst militaristic criminal activities."
Actually Medea, it's not 'like' they bow down, they do bow, real low.

Silence is Golden $$ - Congress Very Quite on Dubai Mossad Assassination



Not a peep from anyone in Congress that I can find. No resolution condemning an extra judicial assassination in the country of one of our 'friends.' No call to help Dubai in their investigation.

Waiting for more evidence I suppose and there were no U.S. passports injured in the operation.









Many in Congress are just biding their time waiting on the AIPAC Policy Conference party, otherwise known as  Treason Fest™, where reports are that half the senate and a third of the house will be going. 

Some of the speakers at the fest who will give congressional members their talking points will be:
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
  • Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, Quartet Representative and former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
  • Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY)
  • Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
  • Amb. Michael Oren, Israeli ambassador to the United States
  • Col. Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan
  • Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School
  • Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy
  • Dan Senor, co-author of Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle
  • Robert Kagan, senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
What a lineup! Everything from war criminals to American traitors to media and think tank whores. Looks like a lot of fun.

 So be silent Congress ... Mossad assassinations are nothing to talk about in this election year when your campaign funds, reputations, seats and possibly your lives are on the line.

Scott Brown - Vetted and Approved by ...

Israel and AIPAC of course ...



Hidden beneath the media hype of Scott Brown as the 'savior' fighting against some of Obama's policies is the fact that he is just another warmongering Israel first lackey.

His election is touted as a referendum against the Democrat controlled Congress and their excesses and he may give a few token votes of opposition but in the areas of war and empire he will be in lockstep with the two party war machine.

A thirty year National Guard veteran, now a  lieutenant colonel who has never been deployed to a war zone, he has used his uniform as a photo op to show he is tough against 'al qaeda' and Iran.

The bankers will surely love him and he will love them back. He's a part of their class, owning 5 homes in New England, and a timeshare condo in Aruba.

Brown doesn't have much experience in politics but I'm sure his friends at AIPAC and in the military/industrial/CIA complex will take him by the hand and lead him through the minefields.

Without even a single day as Senator, there's already some 'Brown for President' calls. There will most likely be more as he gets extensive media coverage. Maybe a Palin/Brown partnership?

Thanks Massachusetts, once again you give us someone who will keep the 'war on terror' chugging along.
