Do you know who Morton Blackwell is?
You should. He was found out to be behind the purple heart band-aid thing. But, is this all he has done? No, and the things he has done were pretty awful. Blackwell is a CNP member, so of course being in Anti-CNP I had to research him. This what I found out a long time ago and is at site at http://www.geocities.com/ck4829/0MortonBlackwell.html

Morton Blackwell and Paul Weyrich also lead International Policy Forum (IPF), which appears to be the international parallel to CNP. The two organizations held joint meetings in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1991 and in Romania in 1992. Blackwell has also trained rightist political forces in Latin America and Africa through IPF, notably supporters of the Pinochet military dictatorship, Argentinean rightists, and supporters of Inkatha chief Buthelezi in South Africa. It was Buthelezi's group that later attempted to create civil war in South Africa to keep apartheid policies in place. Inkatha worked with pro-apartheid and neo-nazi groups to stop the elections eventually won by Nelson Mandela. A number of IPF projects, including the Inkatha training, were aided by U.S. government funding through the National Endowment for Democracy.

2. Just look at his picture at the Leadership Institute web site . . .
it made me ill, because he has that righteous indignation look that fundie right wing nut jobs have. Why is it so easy to spot a Conservative they all look alike - sheep? Of course no military service - surprise!
