Hence, the oligarchs residing in the United States have promoted the destructive multicultural agendas in their own land of residence as enthusiastically as they have promoted the same agendas around the world. Elsewhere I have extensively documented the funding of a broad range of subversive cultural and political movements and ideologies around the world and within the United States.[2] Here we shall examine the funding of specifically multicultural agendas, movements and doctrines by these sources.
NAACP and Corporate Funding
We have previously seen the concern the first president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Walter White, had in regard to the organisation’s funding by non-Negro, and primarily Jewish banking sources. He was worried that such funding would allow the plutocrats to direct the course of the organisation. In 2004 the issue became public, when questions were raised as to whether corporate funding had changed the character of the NAACP.
Despite assurances by the NAACP leadership, sources worried that corporate funding from the likes of Microsoft, Exxon, PepsiCo and others ‘compromised its effectiveness of the nation’s oldest civil rights watchdog might hesitate to bite the hand that feeds it, they reason.’
‘Under the leadership of Kweisi Mfume, former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the organization increasingly forged relations with Wall Street and solicited millions of dollars from corporations’ . . . Lots of companies do. The NAACP’s $27 million annual budget is marbled with contributions from the nation’s leading corporations. But how much Wall Street gives is anybody’s guess.[3]
The NAACP was founded on the initiative of Jacob H. Schiff, one of the most significant figures of Wall Street. Others included such oligarchs as Felix Warburg and Herbert Lehman. They were world power wire-pullers as are Soros and Rockefeller today. If they not only funded, but even founded an organisation such as the NAACP, they did so with a long-range purpose in mind, as do today’s oligarchs. It would be very naïve to think that these corporations invest so much money on an Afro-American organisation promoting assimilation because they are kindly, or merely as a pay-off to be left alone.
While NAACP records of corporate donors are not revealed by the organisation, the donors can be tracked down from the sources. Additionally despite the impression given by the 2004 Baltimore Sun article, the NAACP has always been the recipient of corporate largesse, from its foundation in 1909 to the present. Although the NAACP runs at a deficit, the wealthy oligarchy has always poured its millions into the organisation, as they have with sundry other Leftist/liberal causes.[4] The Ford Foundation gave the NAACP $1,000,000.[5] The NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund (NAACP-LDF), founded as a separate entity in 1940, specialising in litigating in the Courts, and achieving the landmark decisions that ended school segregation, has been the focus of Ford Foundation largesse. The grants from 2009 to 2012 that Ford gave the NAACP-LDF total $7,050,000.[6]

Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF)
The Hispanic equivalent of the NAACP Defense and Education Fund is MALDEF, which not only received Ford Foundation largesse, but also is ‘the creation of the Ford Foundation.’ The grants from Ford during 2009–2012 total $4,300,000.[1]
The example of how the oligarchs virtually created a new ethnic group within the United States, the ‘Hispanic,’ is instructive. Until the 1960s the problems of Mexican immersion was primarily economic, with the demand for cheap labour, as it had been the prior century with the importation of Asian coolies. However during the 1960s ‘identity politics,’ and the ‘civil rights’ movement arose, especially to integrate the South, where Segregation would have been as burdensome to the expansion of a modern economy as had by the Old South of the slave-owning era, and for the same reasons that the Afrikaner had to be overthrown in South Africa. The Ford Foundation expanded its ethnic outreach to Spanish speakers in the United States to mould previously diverse nationalities into a new entity, the ‘Hispanic,’ and indeed a new race, La Raza. Until the creation of MALDEF by the Ford Foundation, those Mexicans who migrated to the United States regarded themselves as ‘Whites’ and desired to assimilated with White America.
Prior to MALDEF, Mexican-Americans were represented by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), founded in 1929. Joseph Fallon, demographics and immigration researcher, writes of LULAC that it ‘was a middle-class, patriotic organization of U.S. citizens of Mexican descent whose activities centred primarily on education,’ committed to traditional ‘Americanism.’ They promoted the assimilation of Mexican-Americans into the majority ‘Anglo’ culture, stressed that they were ‘Americans,’ and insisted on proficiency in the English language, opposing any notion of Mexican enclaves within the United States. ‘LULAC endorsed immigration control and supported President Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback” which deported a million illegal aliens back to Mexico.’ However, from the mid-1950s LULAC changed direction to espouse the reversal of its original aims, including the classification of Mexican-Americans as a separate, non-White entity. As a radicalised Hispanic organisation it received funding from the major corporations, such as AT&T.[2]
MALDEF emerged in 1967 as a rival of LULAC and in imitation of the NAACP-LDF. ‘Seed money’ for MALDEF was given by Ford after Jack Greenberg, president of the NAACP-LDF, arranged for Peter Tijerina, State Civil Rights Chairman for the LULAC chapter in San Antonio, to meet Bill Pincus, head of the Ford Foundation. Fallon writes:
Pincus agreed to advance Tijerina ‘seed money’ to create a five-state ‘Mexican-American’ organization modelled after the NAACP-LDF. This new organization would pursue civil rights litigation on behalf of ‘Mexicans’ as the NAACP-LDF was doing on behalf of blacks. Tijerina became MALDEF’s first executive director, and, in 1970, Mario Obledo, former Texas Attorney General, became General Counsel. After MALDEF was established by ‘seed money,’ the Ford Foundation then awarded the organization a five-year grant in excess of $2 million. . . . MALDEF was a creation of the Ford Foundation in more ways than just funding. The Ford Foundation soon took control of virtually all important matters from where the headquarters should be located, to the appointment of its executive director, and the type of legal cases it should pursue.[3]
MALDEF’s funding derives mainly from corporations and foundations; in particular the Carnegie Corporation, the Ford Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation. It has received generous funding from the Ahmanson Foundation, the AT&T Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Open Society Institute, and the Verizon Foundation.’[4]
La Raza—The Race
The National Council of La Raza was established in 1968 originally as the Southwest Council of La Raza. Henry Santiestevan, former head of the Southwest Council of La Raza, wrote that ‘it can be said that without the Ford Foundation’s commitment to a strategy of national and local institution-building, the Chicano movement would have withered away in many areas.’[5] Ford grants for 2009–2013 total $6,650,600.[6]
LaRaza’s ‘corporate champions’ include: Bank of America, Wal-Mart,
J. P. Morgan Chase & Co., Shell Oil, FedEx Corporation, Google, and others.[7] Its ‘Corporate Board of Advisors’ includes representatives from AT&T, Bank of America, Chevron, Citibank, the Coca-Cola Company, Comcast NBCUniversal Telemundo, ConAgra Foods, Inc., Ford Motor Company, General Mills, Inc., General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft Foods, McDonald’s Corporation, MillerCoors LLC, PepsiCo Inc., Prudential Financial, Shell, State Farm Insurance Companies, Time Warner Inc., Toyota, UPS, Verizon, Wal-Mart, and Wells Fargo.[8]
The mission of La Raza, according to the biography of its current president, is to make ‘Hispanics an integral part of the ‘American Dream’:
As someone who has experienced the promise of the American Dream firsthand, Janet Murguía has devoted her career in public service to opening the door to that dream to millions of American families. Now, as a key figure among the next generation of leaders in the Latino community, she continues this mission as President and CEO of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States.[9]
Here we get to the crux of why these ethnic minority lobbies are supported by corporate America; it is for the same reason why globalists fund ethnic minority agendas around the world: as part of the ‘One World’ concept, and the creation of Homo globicus, presently unfolding in its most advanced form in the United States. The ‘American’ is Homo globicus in the process of actualisation, and the ‘American Dream’ is the globalist monoculture in the process of actualisation, championed in the name of ‘diversity.’
The Rockefeller Foundation is a major contributor to La Raza, the NAACP, and many other immigrant and ethnic groups. The Foundation’s purpose ‘through grantmaking’ is ‘to spread the benefits of globalization to more people in more places around the world.’[10]
League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)
LULAC claims to be the oldest and largest Hispanic organisation in the United States. It is worth noting the long list of ‘corporate partners’ that are represented on LULAC’s advisory board, while keeping in mind that such organisations as LULAC are helping to open the U.S. borders to Latino immigrants which, while undertaken in the name of ‘human rights,’ serves corporate interests in terms of an expanded market and labour force. Such lobbies are kept in line by corporate money. LULAC’s ‘corporate advisory board’ comprises: Altria Group, Inc., American Airlines, Amgen, Anheuser-Busch Inc., AT&T, Bank of America, BlueCross BlueShield Association, Burger King Corporation, The Coca-Cola Company, Comcast Corporation, Cox Enterprises, Inc., Denny’s, Inc., Diageo, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, The Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase & Co., McDonald’s Corporation, Mead Johnson Nutrition, MillerCoors LLC, National Cable & Telecommunications Association, The Procter & Gamble Company, Pfizer Inc, Shell Oil Company, Southwest Airlines Co., Sprint Nextel Corporation, Time Warner Cable, Tyson Foods, Inc., Univision Communications, Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., The Walt Disney Company, Western Union, and Yum! Brands Inc.[11]
Note that many of these corporations are also involved in a multitude of ethnic, Hispanic, Black and other lobbies, and include key globalist corporations, bankers, junk food merchants, and oil interests.
Emma Lazarus Fund
We have previously considered the poetical enunciation of the melting-pot for the United States by the early Zionist Emma Lazarus, whose sonnet on the United States’ mission to accept the outcasts of the world adorns the Statue of Liberty. Hence, the fund that globalist speculator George Soros established in 1996 specially for the sponsoring of immigration lobbying was named after Lazarus: the Emma Lazarus Fund. When Soros sponsors an organisation or cause you can be certain that it is for an important political objective in advancing the ‘new world order.’ The umbrella organisation for Soros is the Open Society Institute formed in 1993 as an international network of foundations in more than 50 countries supporting a range of programs, according to its website. Soros money funds feminism, and pro-abortion and marijuana liberalisation, including the Drug Policy Alliance. The Soros agenda is to break down the traditional, structures of states in order to make them suited to a globalised economy.[12]
The Emma Lazarus Fund was set up by the Open Society Institute to operate for the year 1996–97 for the purpose of dispensing grants totalling $50,000,000 to pro-immigration lobbies and projects. Among the dozens of recipients of Soros largesse were the National Council of La Raza and MALDEF. A major focus was to support projects to assist in the naturalisation of Latinos. While not much remains in evidence for the existence of the Emma Lazarus Fund, having dispensed its $50,000,000, immigration lawyers Siskind and Susser have lauded the work of Soros as a great humanitarian gesture, while ensuring that readers appreciate that this is another generous gesture for humanity by a ‘Jewish philanthropist’:
It might strike a person as odd that one of America’s richest men would decide to take a leading role in calling for a more tolerant, open attitude toward immigration. But when one learns the man is George Soros, perhaps this is not surprising. Soros, profiled earlier this month on the popular television newsmagazine 60 Minutes, has a reputation for being a tough businessman, but also one of the world’s leading philanthropists. Until recently, he was best known for giving money to help promote open societies in Eastern Europe.
But recently Soros chose to tackle the issue of immigration. Soros knows first hand the importance of an open immigration policy. He is, after all, a Hungarian Jew who survived the Holocaust and knows that for many, the right to immigrate can be a matter of life and death.
Recently Soros created the Emma Lazarus Fund, an initiative of Soros’ Open Society Institute. Emma Lazarus was the 19th Century Jewish-American poet whose famous words from her poem ‘The New Colossus’ welcoming impoverished immigrants to American shores are on a plaque on the Statue of Liberty. The poem, beginning with the famous words ‘Give me your tired, your poor . . .’ is one of the most famous in American literature and is now synonymous with America’s welcoming historical attitude to immigrants.[13]
Note how these immigration lawyers play on the theme of ‘The Holocaust’ in relation to promoting ‘open immigration’ to the United States. Any objections to the globalist agendas on immigration and multiculturalism are howled down with the spectre of ‘The Holocaust.’
While it would be superfluous to further detail the organisations and the millions that have been dispensed by globalist corporations, funds, and foundations, the reader is invited to search the grant-making databases of the likes of the Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, Open Society Institute, and major globalist corporations such as AT&T, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, interconnected and associated with U.S. government agencies such as the State Department, in a seemingly endless network.’[14]
Case Study: Wal-Mart
Something of the Big Business strategy in backing both open immigration and in seeking to control immigration lobbies through financial patronage, can be seen in the example of the two-pronged relationship Wal-Mart has towards Mexican migrant workers. Wal-Mart lauds itself as both a major employer of Mexicans and a major contributor to Hispanic lobbies, including MALDEF and National Council of La Raza. Yet at the same time Wal-Mart has been prosecuted for the exploitation of Mexican illegal aliens. Its commitment to the lowest prices is extracted at the pressure it puts on suppliers to provide the cheapest products to the extent that Wal-Mart suppliers are relocating to cheap labour countries such as China. That is the reality of globalisation.
In Mexico itself, Wal-Mart is that state’s largest private sector employer, with 209,000 workers. Another salient example of the reality of globalisation, with an aesthetic and cultural implication, was the building in 2004 of a stark, utilitarian Wal-Mart building near the Mayan pyramid of the small market town of San Juan de Teotihuacán. A news report stated:
As they have
for centuries, the merchants here ply their trade midway between the ruins of giant pyramids built by the Maya and the stone steeple of the town’s main Catholic church, which Spanish monks founded in 1548.
Now another colossus from a different empire is being built in the shadow of the pyramids, a structure some merchants and other townsfolk here say threatens not only their businesses but their heritage. In December, an ugly cinderblock building rising from the earth is to house a sprawling supermarket called Bodega Aurrera, a subsidiary of Wal-Mart of Mexico.
How Wal-Mart got permission to build a superstore on farmland supposedly protected under Mexican law as an archaeological site has vexed the merchants here, who freely accuse the town, the state and the federal Institute of Anthropology and History of corruption.
The opponents charge Wal-Mart with trampling on their Indian heritage and suggest that the backhoes clawing at the earth on the site are destroying irreplaceable relics.
But an economic reality underlies this dispute—Wal-Mart has not only built stores throughout Mexico, but has taken over several other chains. It is the largest private employer in the country, and wherever this American retail titan erects a new outlet, the local merchants tend to disappear, or at least lose business.[15]
This is the actual meaning of globalisation, the reality behind the façade of the corporate sponsorship of ‘diversity.’ Meanwhile, in the United States, Wal-Mart promotes itself as the champion of the Mexican migrant, which it also finds to be a convenient source of exploitable labour. Hence, in a press release to a Hispanic business news site, Wal-Mart informed Hispanic readers about its issuing of a bilingual ‘fiesta guide’ to help celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Wal-Mart boasted of being the largest private employer of Hispanics in the United States (as it is across the border), as well as sponsoring organisations such as the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, National Council of La Raza, Lulac Women’s Conference in Texas, La Prensa Foundation, National Association of Hispanic Publications, and the New Mexico Alliance for Hispanic Education.[16]
