C-Span carried MN rally, followed by Gen. HR McMasters urging the US to stay in mideast to stir up more wars & guard poppy fields. McMasters was a guest speaker of the Foundation to Defend Democracies described in Wikipedia as a "hawkish, neoconservative DC think tank"... Funding "FDD does not take foreign funding, stating on its website that it "does not accept donations from any foreign governments." [39] In 2011, ThinkProgress, a progressive advocacy organization, published FDD's Form 990 documents[40] that revealed where FDD funding came from, from 2001 to 2004. Donors included:[38] Roland Arnall: $1,802,000 Edgar M. and Charles Bronfman: $1,050,000 Michael Steinhardt: $850,000 Abramson Family Foundation (of Leonard Abramson): $822,523 Bernard Marcus: $600,000 Lewis Ranieri: $350,000 Paul Singer and Sheldon Adelson are also major donors.[41][42] ThinkProgress concluded, "Most of the major donors are active philanthropists to 'pro-Israel' causes both in the U.S. and internationally. With the disclosure of its donor rolls, it becomes increasingly apparent that FDD’s advocacy of U.S. military intervention in the Middle East, its hawkish stance against Iran, and its defense of right-wing Israeli policy is consistent with its donors’ interests in 'pro-Israel' advocacy".[38] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Defense_of_Democracies http://archive.fo/qToqZ
