John Kerry's wife...
99
Sat, 08-14-2004 - 5:07pm
Following is a brief background on Mrs. John Kerry . She hates

being called that, by the way:

Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry. Married Senator Kerry in 1995. She only took his name eighteen months ago and she is an "interesting" paradox of conflicts.

If you think John Kerry was scary, 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, 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 US 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 copilot, 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 prenuptial 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 antiwar 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.

Aiding and supporting our enemies is not good for America,

regardless of your political views.

If voters will open their eyes, educate themselves and see the real

Teresa Heinz Kerry, they will not appreciate her position as ultra rich

fairy godmother of the radical left. They will not want to imagine her

laying her head on a pillow each night inches away from the President

of the United States.

Hopefully they love this country enough to decide that the only way

these two will ever be allowed into the White House is with an engraved

invitation in hand.

I think the people around the world who support Bush and his actions cannot truly be counted as a clear indicator as to how the people of the world feel about us because they are often (not always, steering clear of generalizations) elitists or government figures, as I stated in my earlier post.

There is a difference between moving on after a crisis and being hated because of policies related to that crisis. Bush used 9/11 to launch an unnecessary war in Iraq. Now that's the harsh truth of it and the world is none to happy about it. As I said in another post, perhaps I should have more rightly said the world hates George Bush.

The people of your own country, the Netherlands right, want the troops removed from Iraq. It isn't a question of what your leaders have decided to do against the desire of your citizens, it's a question of why any country is in this mess in the first place. YOUR troops would be safe if Bush had allowed the inspections to finish, told the truth about WMD, worked with other countries, and went to war as a last resort. George Bush is solely blamed because George Bush wanted this war from the day he took office.

I've already posted the information on Hans Blix, al qaeda and the rest of it. As usual, the right wing lies are just repeated in a new post no matter how many times they're disproved.

I don't know, Javaadict. He didn't win in 2000 either (not the popular vote anyway) and he's living in the White House. I'm really worried about this election.

"Sorry, but I'm not following the distinction you're making. I don 't see any difference in the use of Bubba for Clinton or Shrub or whatever for Bush."

That's exactly what I said. I didn't think either term could be considered a smear tactic or character assassination. Miffy was the one who said she thought calling Bush "Shrub" was smearing him, and I disagreed.

"Mama T wasn't being used derrogatively. It's the nickname her friends & family use, & I didn't add any negative context to it."

I'm not the one who brought up Mama T. I think you must have me confused with someone else.

I think we're going in circles, but I'll give it another whirl.


IMO they are both derrogatory nicknames, and the use of them is a smear tactic.

Quite interesting considering so many Mexicans immigrate to America.
