American Israel Education Foundation

American Israel Education Foundation, a sister organization of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, organizes "educational" trips for American member's of congress. These trips, according to Former Senator Jim Abourezk, 
:offer Israeli propagandists an opportunity to expose members of Congress to only their side of the story. The Israeli narrative of how the nation was created, and Israeli justifications for its brutal policies omit important truths about the Israeli takeover and occupation of the Palestinian territories...What the pro-Israel lobby reaps for its investment in these tours is congressional support for Israeli desires. For years, Israel has relied on billions of dollars in US taxpayer money. Shutting off this government funding would seriously impair Israel's harsh occupation.
:According to the Jewish Daily Forward newspaper, congressional filings show Israel as the top foreign destination for privately sponsored trips. Nearly 10 percent of overseas congressional trips taken between 2000 and 2005 were to Israel.Jim Abourezk, The hidden cost of free congressional trips to Israel, Christian Science Monitor, 26 January 2007, accessed 19 July 2012

American Labor Committee to Aid British Labor

The American Labor Committee to Aid British Labor (ALCABL) was a vehicle for US trade union supporters of Britain prior to US entry into the Second World War. According to Special Operations Executive agent Sydney Morrell it was a British controlled front.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's 1999, p.24.
ALCABL was organised in March 1941, during a US visit by the TUC's Sir Walter Citrine. Thomas E. Mahl suggests that its chairman, Matthew Woll may have been a British intelligence contact.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's 1999, p.32.

American Labor Party

The American Labor Party (ALP) was founded in 1936 by New York labour leaders, principally Sidney Hillman of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and David Dubinsky of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.American Labor Party Gave a New York Echo of World Events, New York Times, 3 June 1992.
According to Richard Schifter, the party was "to provide another line on the ballot for supporters of Franklin D. Roosevelt who would have been uncomfortable voting the line identified with Tammany Hall and the other boss-led Democratic county organizations" in New York.American Labor Party Gave a New York Echo of World Events, New York Times, 3 June 1992. According to historian Paul Buhle, it was partly driven by fears that votes for Norman Thomas of the Socialist Party of America would hand the state to the republicans in the Presidential election.Paul Buhle, Taking Care of Business: Samuel Gompers, George Meany, Lane Kirkland, and the Tragedy of American Labor, Monthly Review Press, 1999, p.112.
The Pro-Roosevelt Republican Mayor of new York, Fiorello La Guardia, a Republican Roosevelt, registered in the ALP and received its endorsement in 1937 and 1941.American Labor Party Gave a New York Echo of World Events, New York Times, 3 June 1992.

American Patrol

American Patrol, American Border Patrol and Voices of Citizens Together are all part of the same group.
The organisation became active in 1992 under the name Voices of Citizens Together
USUAL AREA OF OPERATION: California, Arizona (border counties)
==People==
Leader: Glenn Spencer
==Aims and Activities==
The focus of ABP's efforts appears to be on propaganda and supporting the efforts of other vigilante groups that patrol regions near Mexico. The group claims to fight for U.S. sovereignty by demanding removal of "illegals" and maintaining border security. It provides its members with materials, tools and instructions on how to report "illegals" and lobby their local and national government for immigration reform. 
The organization's radio program, American Patrol, routinely airs interviews of anti-immigrant individuals with racist mindsets.
In addition to its propaganda and lobbying activities, American Border Patrol describes itself as an 
:organization founded to bring the crisis called Illegal Immigration to the forefront of the American public's consciousness. By using high tech, innovative equipment, ABP members detect, locate and report illegal immigration as it occurs. ABP has a mandate to make information about illegal immigration available to the public. We do this through the use of the internet and other media. ABP has a strict hands off policy, unlike other border action groups who are interested in this issue, we adhere to a strict observe and report policy. Our goal is to show the American people that the problem can be resolved, and we know how to do it!
According to The organization, allegedly, strongly supports the viewpoints and philosophies of several extremist organizations with similar ideologies, including members of the racially prejudiced Council of Conservative Citizens. Glenn Spencer claims that he supports (and is supported by) the Jewish Defense League.

American Security Council

Originally a database of suspected communists the ASC was founded in the mid-1950s by Gen. Robert Wood and the Chicago Tribune’s Robert R. McCormick, and became a leading anti-Soviet nexus of several cold war organisations such as the Committee on the Present Danger.
According to Edward Herman & Gerry O’Sullivan’s (1989) The Terrorism Industry, the ASC came into existence as an anti-labour intelligence and propaganda agency, acquiring the files of the anti-semite/anti-labour spymaster, Harry Jung (the first major US distributor of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion). It gradually extended its activities to serve the military industrial lobby as its anti-subversive focus broadened to include an ‘international red menace’, against which it urgently demanded accelerated weapons acquisitions and terrorism.Edward Herman & Gerry O’Sullivan (1989) The Terrorism Industry.

American Soybean Association (ASA) claims to be 'a non-profit, farmer-controlled organisation working to strengthen soybeans as a viable crop' but it enjoys a remarkably close relationship with Monsanto and other biotech corporations.

That message has been brought to Europe, where, ASA Technical Director Kimball Nill warns, 'Various pressure groups and some media are hoodwinking the public by making unsubstantiated assertions about US farmers adoption of biotechnology. Their random statements are ludicrous, untrue and deliberately misleading'.Kimball Nill, NanoScienceWorks.org website, accessed 20 April 2009

Lobbying against Obamacare:
:has engaged in a variety of efforts to roll back the law. And while AFP is a 501(c)4, it has still drawn support from various foundations. 
:One of AFP's supporters is the John William Pope Foundation, which gave AFP $1 million in general operating support in 2013. Since 2004, Pope has given 24 grants to Americans for Prosperity, some of which were half a million dollars a pop, and most of which were in the six figures.
:And while we're on the topic of the Pope Foundation, which is controlled by the North Carolina conservative leader Art Pope, we should also note that it's a big backer of the John Locke Foundation, giving it $2.5 million in 2013. And while those grants were for "general operating support," the John Locke Foundation is deeply involved right now in pushing an anti-Obamacare agenda as laid out by their website. 
:In 2013, Pope also gave over $1.3 million to the John William Pope Civitas Institute. Again, while these funds took the form of general support, Civitas is heavily invested in destroying Obamacare through its research and policy work.
