Connect the dots to war profiteers: DLC closely tied to Neocons through the Progressive Policy Institute
Media Transparency's website lists The Progressive Policy Institute as receiving nine grants totalling $350,000 from 1997 to 2002 originating from the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.
The conservative Capital Research Centre database lists PPI's funding as comprising:
- Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation $100,000 2001
- AT&T Foundation $40,000 2001
- Eli Lilly & Company Foundation $25,000 2001
- Prudential Foundation $15,000 2001
- Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation $10,000 2001
That's a LOT of pull. Obviously warmaking is serious business with certain Democrats.
PPI is THE think tank of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), founded in 1985 by PPI's President, Will Marshall, and counts among its past chairs Bill Clinton and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman.
Why will Iraqmire continue for years to come? Likely because both Republicans AND Dems are sponsored by the Bradley Foundation - major manufacturer of weapons of war.
