Is Warren Buffett the Wallet Behind Black Lives Matter?

The Tides Network is a powerful instrument leveraged by billionaires working to change America, while shielding their philanthropic dollars from public scrutiny. Here’s how it works.

​By Sean Cooper October 6, 2020, Tablet

​"In July of 2013, the seeds of the most powerful protest movement of the modern era were planted.

"In a restless climate of nationwide demonstrations touched off by the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, an activist named Alicia Garza uttered the phrase “Black lives matter.” A few months later, in October 2013, Garza took a job with an organization called the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and the nonprofit immediately saw a dramatic increase in its funding from organizations tied to some of the wealthiest people in the world—people with names like Buffett, Soros, and Rockefeller.

"This spring, in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, the movement became a global interest: Some 1.1 million individual donations worth an estimated $33 million flowed into its coffers. Large corporations, especially in Silicon Valley and retail, have been quick to follow suit, with brands like Square, Ubisoft, Google, Spanx, Tom’s Shoes, Lululemon, Nike, and Anastasia Beauty all making six- and seven-figure organizational pledges..."

Lululemon implemented Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, including a Jewish employee network, to foster "a more inclusive workplace".

Important to note: While Tablet has been associated with conservative viewpoints, its editors have insisted on maintaining editorial independence from their funders. Additionally, it's essential to recognize the complexity of Jewish political thought and that "conservative" can encompass various perspectives within that context.

Andrea Mitchell's annual salary is $750,000. She is the Chief Foreign Affairs & Chief Washington Correspondent for NBC News, and she has anchored "Andrea Mitchell Reports" on MSNBC since 2008. She is Jewish. The US president's annual salary is $400,000, with a $50,000 expense account, $100,000 travel account, and $19,000 entertainment budget, totaling $569,000.

Trump donated his salary in his first term and will donate it in his second term. Presidents Hoover and Kennedy donated their salaries. Hoover had made a significant fortune as a mining engineer and businessman, and you know of the Kennedy family wealth.

Well, let's cover it briefly. Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. invested heavily in real estate, including the Merchandise Mart in Chicago; he established Somerset Importers and secured distribution rights for Scotch whisky; he was a successful stock and commodity market investor; and he reorganized and refinanced several Hollywood studios, eventually merging them into RKO Pictures.

His amanuensis wrote, "Versipellis cōnspexit." I caught sight of the wolf.
Versipellis means shape-shifter, double-dealer, and figuratively it means sly, cunning, crafty, which emphasizes the importance of translators and interpreters, who go through rigorous training.

Wikipedia & the BLOB

​
A blog commenter submitted this about Wikipedia, San Francisco HQ.

There is overwhelming evidence that Wikipedia functions as a tightly managed, narrative-control system on topics involving:
  • Geopolitics
  • Zionism and Israel
  • Intelligence agencies & surveillance
  • 9/11, JFK, & World War I/ II narratives
  • elite banking families
  • conspiracy theories
  • alternative history
  • deep state
​
In these realms, what emerges is not a neutral "encyclopedia" but a crowd-managed mechanism of informational repression, closely aligned with what many now refer to as the BLOB, the military-industrial-intelligence-financial-media complex that dictates permissible discourse in the West.

I had a discussion today with my writing student about seeking out independent news sources and verifying every claim made.

University DEI: Status Quo and Rebrands

4/16/2025

A report by an education watchdog organization identified Catholic colleges and universities that have “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) programs.

Defending Education, a national grassroots group combating “indoctrination in classrooms,” identified more than 350 active DEI offices or programs at nearly 250 higher education institutions.
​
The report also identified more than 20 additional colleges that rather than closing the offices simply “rebranded” their DEI offices using phrases such as “belonging” or “inclusive excellence.”

Rebranding words
  • “Access”
  • “Advocacy”
  • “Belonging”
  • “Community”
  • “Compliance”
  • “Inclusive Excellence”
  • “Institutional Excellence”
  • “Resilience”
  • “Success”

Jesuit University of San Francisco was left off the list. Dr. Anthony Fauci, pardoned by the Biden autopen, spoke at the 166th Commencement (2025), about "pursuing truth".

There are a total of 28 Jesuit universities in the country, and all have the same groupthink, and the report doesn't even touch the high schools, which number 62.

In his first month in office, President Donald Trump issued executive orders targeting governmental DEI programs as well as “radical indoctrination” in K-12 education. 
...

Paul Runko, director of strategic initiatives for Defending Education, urged Catholic institutions with DEI programs to “reexamine these programs and take the lead in ending race discrimination once and for all”.
 
Runko, himself a Catholic, said that DEI goes against the Catholic faith. “Diversity, equity, and inclusion puts discriminatory race ideology over individual dignity, which runs contrary to both the Catholic faith and the law,” Runko said.

These Catholic universities receive federal funds in one way or another. That marked their downfall.

Linguistic Rubik's Cube belongs in a Jesuit's throat, or on his tongue in the place of the Eucharist.

  1. CEO of Wikipedia 2016 to 2021 was Katherine Mar.
  2. CEO of National Public Radio (NPR) is now Katherine Mar.
  3. CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) heavily funds NPR.

CPB is a private, non-profit corporation formed in 1967 under Johnson.

The first truly independent president since Jan. 20, 1961, is the present one.

Congress funds a
private corporation? Is that a contradiction, or what?

While there have been significant moves to eliminate federal funding for NPR, it has not been fully defunded, and it continues to receive revenue from other sources. The situation is ongoing, with the Senate vote on the rescissions package still pending.

With its three doors, Let's Make a Deal aired December 30, 1963, one month after President Kennedy was assassinated. Its host was Monty Hall, a Jew.

American lawyer Elizabeth MacDonough was appointed Parliamentarian of the United States Senate in 2012 by Mormon Harry Reid, D-NV, dead, the first woman to hold the position. She guided the Senate through the first/second impeachment trials of Donald Trump, which failed.

"In the name of Catholicism and absolutism, we had the crusades, horrible things done in the name of religion," Reid said in 2015. He continued, "We have now in the Middle East, ISIS, in the name of religion, doing the most atrocious things that a person could do to another human being." By Thomas Burr, The Salt Lake Tribune, September 26, 2015 - 2:49 pm, Las Vegas Review-Journal

Deriving his assessment from secular history textbooks, the outsider compared the Crusades to ISIS. His wife's maiden name was Gould. The pair eloped when her parents, who were Jewish immigrants, objected to Reid because he was not Jewish.

Graham Greene signed

6/28/2025

England and Wales
1971
​
Graham Greene signed the Agatha Christie petition, formally called a "Statement by scholars, intellectuals, and artists living in England".

The signatories sought to preserve the traditional Latin Mass for its cultural and artistic significance.

The Petition
One of the axioms of contemporary publicity, religious as well as secular, is that modern man in general, and intellectuals in particular, have become intolerant of all forms of tradition and are anxious to suppress them and put something else in their place.

But, like many other affirmations of our publicity machines, this axiom is false. Today, as in times gone by, educated people are in the vanguard where recognition of the value of tradition is concerned, and are the first to raise the alarm when it is threatened.

If some senseless decree were to order the total or partial destruction of basilicas or cathedrals, then obviously it would be the educated - whatever their personal beliefs - who would rise up in horror to oppose such a possibility.

Now the fact is that basilicas and cathedrals were built so as to celebrate a rite which, until a few months ago, constituted a living tradition. We are referring to the Roman Catholic Mass. Yet, according to the latest information in Rome, there is a plan to obliterate that Mass by the end of the current year.

We are not at this moment considering the religious or spiritual experience of millions of individuals. The rite in question, in its magnificent Latin text, has also inspired a host of priceless achievements in the arts - not only mystical works, but works by poets, philosophers, musicians, architects, painters and sculptors in all countries and epochs. Thus, it belongs to universal culture as well as to churchmen and formal Christians.

In the materialistic and technocratic civilisation that is increasingly threatening the life of mind and spirit in its original creative expression - the word - it seems particularly inhuman to deprive man of word-forms in one of their most grandiose manifestations.

The signatories of this appeal, which is entirely ecumenical and non-political, have been drawn from every branch of modern culture in Europe and elsewhere. They wish to call to the attention of the Holy See, the appalling responsibility it would incur in the history of the human spirit were it to refuse to allow the Traditional Mass to survive, even though this survival took place side by side with other liturgical forms.

Notably absent from the petition was Tolkien. While Tolkien was troubled by the liturgical changes implemented after Vatican II, such as the use of English, his objections stemmed from a love of Latin and its clarity and the diminishment of reverence. A great fan of Agatha Christie's mysteries, Tolkien seems to have preferred his detective fiction to focus on puzzle plots, not on character and theme. He couldn't have known the whole puzzle.

the perpetual victim

There is little space left for perpetual victims, blame shifters. Did not Our Lord intend everything that has happened to happen? Was not His purpose to help us be more like Him, the only victim, spotless and innocent? I sensed it from age nine but could not express it in words.

Loyalty knows no bounds
until the sea becomes murky and the sky clouded,
The fire of love the Holy Ghost blows upon
and sends the demons back shrouded.
