A few notes on Mrs. John Kerry (She hates being called that, by the way!)
Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry. Married to Senator Kerry
in 1995, she only took his name eighteen months ago. She is an interesting
paradox of conflicts. I thought John Kerry was scary, but he doesn't hold a
candle to his wife ... Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry
was born in Mozambique, the daughter of a Portuguese physician, and was
educated in Switzerland and South Africa. Fluent in five languages, she was
working as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva in the mid-60's when she
met a handsome young American, H. John Heinz, III, who worked at a bank in
Geneva. He told her his family was "in the food business."
They were married in 1966 and returned to Pittsburgh where his family ran
the giant H.J. Heinz food company. He was elected to the U.S. House of
Representatives in 1971, and in 1976 he was elected to the first of three
terms in the United States Senate. A Republican, he wrote a burning diatribe
against some of the causes backed by young House member John Kerry.)
Several years later, in 1991, he was killed when his plane collided with a
Sun Oil Company helicopter over a Philadelphia suburb. The senator, his
pilot and co-pilot, and both of Sun's helicopter pilots were killed. He was
survived by his wife, Teresa, and their three young sons.
Four years later, having inherited Heinz's $500 million fortune, she married
Senator John Forbes Kerry, the liberal then-junior senator from
Massachusetts. She became a registered Democrat and the process of her
radicalization was set in motion.
Heinz Kerry is not shy about telling people that she required Kerry to sign
a pre- nuptial agreement before they were married. John Kerry may not have
check-writing privileges on the Heinz catsup and pickle fortune, but he is
certainly a willing and uncomplaining beneficiary of it. A lot of
hard-earned money, made through many years of hawking catsup, mustard, and
pickles has fallen into the hands of two people who despise successful
entrepreneurship and who believe in the confiscatory redistribution of
wealth.
So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's money? Just one example:
According to the G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of
WorldNetDaily, in the years between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4 million
to an organization called the Tides Foundation. And what does the Tides
Foundation do with John Heinz's money?
They support numerous anti-war groups, including Ramsey Clark's
International Action Center. Clark has offered to defend Saddam Hussein when
he's tried.
They support the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the Tides
Foundation and billionaire hate-monger George Soros. The Democratic Justice
Fund seeks to ease restrictions on Muslim immigration from "terrorist"
states.
They support the Council for American-Islamic Relations, whose leaders are
known to have close ties to the terrorist group, Hamas.
They support the National Lawyers Guild, organized as a communist front
during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys, Lynne Stewart, has been
arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with
terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World
Trade Center bombing.
They support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose primary
goal is to return all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to
Mexico.
These are but a few of the radical groups that benefit, through the
anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the generosity of our
would-be first lady, the wealthy widow of Republican senator John Heinz, and
now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the 44th President
of the United States.
If voters will only try to imagine a woman su ch as Teresa Heinz Kerry, the
fairy godmother of the radical left, laying her head on a pillow each
nightjust inches from the President of the United States, hopefully they
will decide that the only way these two will ever be allowed into the White
House is with an engraved invitation in hand. |
