Quakers Target of Corruption Probe
One of the Hard Left's most prominent subversive groups is the target of a corruption investigation by the Pennsylvania State Attorney General. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that a whistleblower alleged the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), commonly referred to as the Quakers, diverted funds bequeathed to it for medical scholarships to other activities, most likely pro-illegal alien assistance and war resistance.
The AFSC is at the center of the Hard Left's network of groups many consider anti-American, including United for Peace and Justice and MoveOn.org. Over the years, the Quakers have been the darling of the Hollywood Left and intellectual elites, like Susan Sarandon and Noam Chomsky.
Court filings indicate more trouble on the horizon for the AFSC than the current controversy. In 2006, a judgement was entered against the AFSC for failing to file and pay wage taxes for its employees to the City of Philadelphia. Other information contained in court documents suggest failure to comply with employment requirements that pertain to immigration issues, homeland security regulations and aspects of the Patriot Act.
