[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 183668, member: 605"] Standard Oil/ARAMCO or Rockefeller oil got its oil from Saudi Arabia and would just as soon the oil in the United States stayed off the market or locked up in a wilderness. Another one is Pew Charities or Pew Family owners of Sunoco Oil. They got their oil from Venezuela until it nationalized and now the bulk comes from Nigeria. Some of the best sweet crude in the world comes from Nigeria. Sunoco oil fuels NASCAR. Pew Charitable Trusts: Pew president Rebecca Rimel has transformed a reliable backer of traditional U.S. charities into an enthusiastic supporter of a cacophony of leftist causes. The Philadelphia-based organization has about $4 billion in assets, and Pew’s environmental program, directed by Joshua S. Reichert, has donated an average of $30 million annually over the past two decades to an array of environmental causes. Once described by the Boston Globe as the “man in charge of doling out the single largest block of money earmarked for environmental causes,” Reichert told the Globe: “We are very product oriented. We need to demonstrate a return on these investments...that is measurable.” Reichert likes to tell grant recipients what he wants done and “encourages” them to form coalitions to get maximum use out of Pew’s money. He once told environmental writer Mark Dowie: “I don’t want someone who knows the facts, or can articulate them persuasively; I want someone who wants to win and knows how.” Here are a few of the environmental groups receiving Pew grants in recent years: * Ducks Unlimited, 2000-2004, $25,300,000 * National Environmental Trust, 2000-2004, $20,500,000 * Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund, 2000-2004, $20,476,000 * Wilderness Society, 1998-2004, $2,596,400 * Trout Unlimited, 2000-2004, $2,312,000 * National Parks & Conservation Association, 2000-2004, $2,300,000 * Save Our Wild Salmon, 2000-2004, $2,250,000 * Sierra Club, Sierra Club Foundation, 1998-2004, $1,689,000 * Union of Concerned Scientists, 2000-2004, $1,100,000 * Conservation Law Fund, 2000-2004, $906,000 * Friends of the Earth, 1998-2004, 852,335 Pew also contributed $23,119,000 to the Tides Foundation and Tides Center between 2000 and 2004.
