Max Blumenthal: Who Is The Mystery Man Behind Prop 8?
Who is funding California’s Prop 8, the country’s most controversial ballot measure? The Mormons’ donations are well known, and are a source of outrage among the church’s more moderate elements. But little attention has been focused on two of the proposition’s biggest individual donors: Elsa Broekhuizen, the mother of Blackwater founder Erik Prince, and Howard F. Ahmanson Jr., the reclusive theocratic millionaire who inherited $300 million from his philanthropist father at age 18.
So, there are ties back to the Bush/Cheney most beloved military privateers and torture unit, Blackwater. Just think America, some of your tax dollars funded the campaign to fund the fight for Prop 8 in California.
