Toronto-- Karl Rove is no Colombo. Unlike the wrinkled coat-gumshoes of televised fame, Rove could never find the skeletons in the closet.

During the last american presidential campaign, Rove went into spy mode.

"While she was U.S. ambassador to South africa, Jendayl Frazer demonstrated her GOP loyalties by assisting Karl Rove in an attempt to dig up dirt on Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign." (www.WayneMadsenReport.com august 11, 2005).

Rove, as time would tell, went `Rove-ing" in the wrong direction.

"In a move similar to his outing of Joseph Wilson's covert CIa agent wife, Rove ordered Frazer to dig up all she could on the student activities of Maria Teresa Thierstein Simoes-Ferreira (Mrs. Heinz-Kerry's maiden name) while attending the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South africa. Mrs. Kerry was born in Lourenco Marques, the capital of the then-Portuguese colony of Mozambique."

Rove's Charlie's angel flunked out.

"according to South african government sources, Frazier authorized a partisan Republican embassy employee to visit the dean of students at Witwatersrand to obtain a copy of Mrs. Kerry's apartheid-era "student security file", a dossier maintained in accordance with a requirement of South african state security at the time of the apartheid regime. The embassy employee who made repeated visits to the campus and always wore a blue blazer, khaki trousers, and an open necked blue Oxford shirt came up empty-handed due to current South african privacy laws governing release of such files. Rove was particularly interested in Mrs. Kerry's file because of the sensitive personal information student security files then contained. Because Mrs. Kerry was involved in the anti-apartheid movement during her enrollment at Wits from 1956-1960, South african security maintained a file on her and Rove was reportedly tipped off about it. Typically, files maintained on white anti-apartheid students would include information from professors and students on whether the subject slept with black african students and whether they were involved with members of the South african Communist Party.

Says the Wayne Madsen Report, "It is also noteworthy that one of Mrs. Kerry's classmates at the University of Geneva in the early 1960s, along with her future husband H. John Heinz III, was Kofi annan--a fact that was undoubtedly not lost on the likes of Karl Rove."

Canada Free Press begs to differ. This fact was lost on Karl Rove.

Decades after having her pigtails dipped into the inkwell at the same classes attended by Kofi, Heinz-Kerry's money provided a "global network" for the United Nations.

a lifelong career UN diplomat, annan has served the world body ever since he started working at the World Health Organization (WHO) back in 1962.

During the 1990s, the Tides Foundation and its closely allied Tides Center, which was spun off from the Foundation in 1996 but run by antiwar leftist activist Drummond Pike gave to the United Nations, cutting edge web technology linking the United Nations to the radical left.

During the years 1995-2001, the Howard Heinz Endowment, which Heinz-Kerry chaired, gave Tides more than $4.3-million.

In other words, the heiress who was a possible First Lady of the U.S. has the kind of ties that bind to former classmate UN Secretary-General Kofi annan at a time when american sovereignty is under attack.

During the years 1995-2001, the Howard Heinz Endowment which Heinz Kerry chairs, gave Tides more than $4.3-million.

The Institute for Global Communications (IGC) and the association for Progressive Communication (aPC) are two of the Tides Foundation's largest ongoing projects.

It was no small bone that Heinz-Kerry tossed to her former classmate.

a massive 24-hour, transnational computer communication network, IGC serves 17 UN offices, 40,000 activists, some of them of the radical stripe, and a legion of non-government organizations in more than 133 countries.

That kind of network ought to keep the supposedly neutral world body in the pink.

The Tides octopus of the electronic communications world got its start back in 1987 when the Britain-based GreenNet began collaborating with IGC, which operates PeaceNet, EcoNet, ConflictNet and LaborNet in the U.S.

according to an aPC Internet historical account, the two giant networks began sharing their electronic conference materials and "demonstrated that transnational electronic communications could serve international, as well as domestic committees working for peace, human rights and the environment."

By late 1989, the IGC network included Canada (Web), Sweden (NordNet), Brazil (alterNex), Nicaragua (Nicaro) and australia (Pegasus).

Hooking up the leftwing world didn't happen by default. In the spring of 1990, the Tides Foundation funded aPC with the specific goal "to coordinate the operation and developing of an emerging global network."

Under american regulations that currently apply to tax-exempt, not-for-profit organizations, IGC "has had to openly pronounce that its networks are for educational and charitable purposes only".

Under usage rules in the IGC manual, it states, "The network shall not be used in any substantial way to carry on propaganda, to influence legislation or to intervene in any political campaign.

"It may be used, however to discuss in a non-partisan way, legislation, politicians and campaigns. Only up to five percent of the total resource time of staff may go to working on political causes and towards lobbying efforts."

Tracking Tides and its contributions to leftist causes, www.FrontPageMagazine.com wrote, "In all, Tides has distributed more than $300-million for the Left. These funds went to rabid antiwar demonstrators, anti-trade demonstrators, domestic Islamist organizations, pro-terrorists legal groups, environmentalists, abortion partisans, extreme homosexual activists and open border activists."

Instead of concentrating on a blue blazer clad South african spy wannabe, Karl Colombo Rove should have been looking for blue helmets.
