scoop! the clarion fund is…

17 September 2008 in Uncategorized

…or, rather, may be closely linked to, the Centre for Security Policy, an ultraright think tank designed to shape neocon policy and come up with new, innovative reasons to make Islam illegal and bomb Iran. If the Clarion Fund isn’t closely linked to the Center for Security Research, we can at least say they’re not terribly imaginative: a good chunk of the material at Clarion’s RadicalIslam.org web site is lifted straight from CSP-related sources.

Take, for instance, the magnum opus Where are all the Liberal Muslims? Penned by Frank Gaffney Jr, the head of the Center for Security Policy. You might recognise Frank Gaffney Jr’s name as a primary agent of the movement against Sharia Compliant Finance (SCF). His main reason for opposing this easy and legal means to incorporate Muslim money into the free market is his (some might say insane) opinion that SCF is composed entirely of the proceeds of limb amputation and wife beating. He’s also notable for quoting David Yerushelmi of the Society of Americans for National Existence, who one great pundit once described as “not so much a self-hating Jew as a Jew who hates the vast majority of other Jews,” as if Yerushelmi wasn’t a lunatic but rather a serious commentator on Sharia finance schemes.

Okay, so maybe the links aren’t really that close–there’s a couple other articles on there from CSP-related sources. But check it: centerforsecuritypolicy.org’s WHOIS reveals they were registered by GoDaddy.com under a domain anonymizer called Domains by Proxy, Inc of Scottsdale AZ.

clarionfund.org were also registered by GoDaddy.com under a domain anonymizer called Domains by Proxy, Inc of Scottsdale AZ.

And radicalislam.org? You guessed it: Registered by GoDaddy.com under a domain anonymizer called Domains by Proxy, Inc of Scottsdale AZ.

And I suppose it just so happens that Domains by Proxy, Inc hail from Arizona, the very state of which John McCain is currently Senator!

Coincidence?

Well, probably.

  3. Thanks for sleuthing out this Clarion Fund. I sent them an e-mail last week inquiring about their disgusting Islamaphobic propaganda and no one wrote me back. Another website I was on said it was a radical Jewish group pumping out this garbage. I have yet to confirm that because as you know, there are no links to who these people are. I like your AZ-McCain connection theory.

    It pains me that U.S. newspapers all over the country have compromised their integrity by taking money from the Clarion Fund to distribute these hateful dvd’s. In Pittsburgh, the Post-Gazette only printed letters to the editor from readers against the dvd’s distribution (they were distibuted in last Sunday’s paper), but this is a small consolation for something the Post-Gazette shouldn’t have done in the first place.

  5. Thanks for doing the research. I just got this piece of crap in my mailbox and pitched it. I’m a 45 yr old mother of three from Ohio and I’m not gonna have someone send this filth to me unsolicited. I think I’m gonna complain to someone……..not sure who yet. Maybe I’ll complain to alot of people until I get the right one.

  7. This is the second DVD I have rceived this weeek. I plan on contacting my newspaper and let them know I will cancel my subscription as I do not want this kind of filth sent to me. I plan on contacting everyone I know and let them know just how dirty and evil the Republicans can be. This same type of thing happened the last two elections, it is really digusting.

  11. I just received this today and decided I’m burning it and sending it back to them.

  13. I received mine today and before I even opened it I “knew” it was propaganda BS
    Full of hateful information and scare tactics.

    I decided to look up this “clarionfund.org” and found many people posting on boards and blogs ARE aware that this is CRAP!
    Thank goodness there are many smart people left! lol

    Anyway, the weird part is, they sent it to me using my middle name….which no one else uses…annnnyway

    But, how dare they send this drivel, bs garbage to me or anyone!

    Oh and by the way, the package that was sent to us…didn’t have the dvd in it
    YIPPY I say (quality control screwed up?) Well, I hope they screw up ‘everyone’s” copy!
