But it gets even more interesting if you delve in to the rest of the folks at
Aish (New York since it is out of there that the members of the Clarion Fund are members)

Here is the 990 filing for Aish Hatorah from 2006

These are the very men that brought us the Wall Street meltdown and as for Bear Stearns, the first of the major collapses.

Now, it gets even MORE interesting when you look into a fellow, Irwin Katsof:

http://www.irwinkatsof.com/ NOTICE, he was a founder
of "Honest Reporting", Shore's media outlet that is named in the opening credits
of "Obsession" and "The Third Jihad", he is ALSO the founder of the Jerusalem
Fund of Aish.

Here's where it gets even more interesting, he has a charity/educational
foundation called "Words Can Heal"-he's the founder. Note all the politicians
and Hollywood celebs that are members.
http://www.wordscanheal.org/

Last Monday when I came face to face with Gregory Ross, spokesman for the Clarion
Fund (he showed up at the Islamic Center in LA because MPAC was holding a press
conference on "Obsession" and Sheriff Lee Baca was there to decry the mass
mailing)

I brought up Katsof to him first. I informed him of going to a premier of the
"Third Jihad" last week (as it turns out was co-hosted by the Republican Jewish
Coalition and Brigitte Gabriel's ACT for America) and how the audience in TOTAL
as they let out stated that this is a battle against ISLAM, not "radical" Islam,
but Islam itself because that REALLY is the message of this newest
"documentary", "The Third Jihad".

I asked him, in lieu of the fact that Irving Katsof is the founder of "Words Can
Heal" and also a founder of "Honest Reporting" and the founder of the Jerusalem
Fund of Aish right there in New York, would the Clarion Fund be willing to post
a disclaimer ON THEIR WEBSITE that they do not wish for their film to be used to
libel all Muslims.

He said, "We can't control how our film is used" (HAH!)

I then interjected Katsof, what about his "Words Can Heal"?

He said, "You're welcome to contact him"

Welllllllllllllll, since Mr. Katsof has this organization that even has it's own
DAY legislated in Congress (BTW-McCain was a co-sponsor of the legislation),
don't hurtful LIBELOUS words against Muslims count? Isn't what's good for the
goose good for the gander?

But WAIT, Katsof is even more "connected" than the above, his "homeland
security" outfit, "Criterion Strategies Inc, a premiere provider of specialized
terrorism prevention and emergency management services" seems to be very well
connected. As founder pf Global Capital Associates, Katsof sponsored a trip to
Israel with none other than Tom Ridge as one of those attending and for the past
three years. The Doheny Group (the new name for Global Capital Associates) has
hosted co-hosted a premier convention for homeland security with Tom Ridge.

There are a whole lot more connections , and one I find most intriguing is
Katsof's business dealings in the Ukraine, real estate. (Doheny Group) Rick Davis, McCain's
campaign manager, got in some hot water over being a lobbyist for
a pro-Russian Ukrainian, but more than that, Rick Davis likes to brag about
making millions in Ukrainian real estate. Coincidence? Perhaps.

The very people (who Gregory Ross says have nothing to do with the Clarion Fund) in their other rolls in "society" have brought us 28 million copies of "Obsession" in our newspapers, "Words Can Heal" (except when it comes to Muslims), "Honest" Reporting, homeland security trips with Tom Ridge (that good ole' contributor and enforcer of the the Patriot Act), Wall Street , and last but not least, Katsof co-wrote a book "Powerful Prayers" with Larry King, who Katsof apparently inspired to come out of atheism.

I don't know about anyone else, but this kind of "religion" I can do without!

I offer a few more Quotes of Light from Rev. King-Americas prophet who bled to death on the streets of Memphis for telling The Truth and pointing out The Way to 'security and peace': Equal Human Rights!

Rev. MLK said:

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people."

"When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative."

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

"Cowardice asks the question – is it safe? Expediency asks the question – is it politic? Vanity asks the question – is it popular? But conscience asks the question – is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right."

Another of America's prophets was the most radical of all our Founding Fathers, Tom Paine whose 40 page pamphlet, COMMON SENSE ignited the first American revolution:

"We have it in our power to begin the world again…Soon after I had published the pamphlet "Common Sense" [on Feb. 14, 1776] in America, I saw the exceeding probability that a revolution in the system of government would be followed by a revolution in the system of religion… The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."-Tom Paine

On with The Light and The Way,
