The following article is circulation
around the Internet, and the story is very compelling. Since the writer is not
a syndicated columnist, it is hard to tell if the letter is real or not. To
answer that question, Boycott Watch located and called Paul R. Hollrah, the
author, and interviewed him. Our conclusion is that the was written by Mr.
Hollrah. This is not to say that we agree with or endorse the content of the
article, rather that we have confirmed that the article was written by the
person who claims to have written it, and that the author did in fact know Mr.
Heinz.
Mr. Hollrah described himself as a Republican
activist in one of his other Internet postings, and is a very pleasant man to
speak to - we had a wonderful conversation about many things, including his run
for state office in Oklahoma, Sun Oil and of course Mr. Heinz.
Boycott Watch is in the process of verifying the
information in the claim, and we will post an update as information becomes
available. In the mean time, the information is not verified more than simply
verifying the author. |

CATSUP, PICKLES AND THE RADICAL LEFT
by
Paul R. Hollrah
Maria Teresa Thiersten
Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry was born in Mozambique, the daughter of a
Portuguese physician, and was educated in Switzerland and South Africa. Fluent
in five languages, she was working as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva in
the mid-60's when she met a handsome young American, H. John Heinz, III, who
worked at a bank in Geneva. He told her his family was "in the food business."
They were married in 1966 and returned to Pittsburgh
where his family ran the giant H.J. Heinz food company. He was elected to the
U.S. House of Representatives in 1971, and in 1976 he was elected to the first
of three terms in the United States Senate.
Senator
H. John Heinz was a friend of mine - not a close friend, not a golfing buddy,
but a friend nonetheless. The last time I saw him alive was, oddly enough, in
the men's restroom at the Maverick Steakhouse, a favorite nighttime eatery and
watering hole for politicians and lobbyists in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The senator was standing at a wash basin, drying his
hands, when I entered the room. When he turned and saw me he rushed toward me,
threw his arms around me, and said, "Paul, it's good to see you!" All I could
do was mumble, "Senator, do you really think we should be seen hugging each
other in a men's restroom?" He didn't think so, and neither did I, but we
shared a good laugh over his impromptu display of affection.
Several years later, in 1991, he was killed when his
plane collided with a Sun Oil Company helicopter over a Philadelphia suburb -
the same helicopter that I often used to travel between Philadelphia and
Washington, DC. The senator, his pilot and co-pilot, and both of Sun's
helicopter pilots were killed. He was survived by his wife, Teresa, and their
three young sons.
Four years later, after inheriting
Heinz's $500 million fortune, she married Senator John Forbes Kerry, the
liberal junior senator from Massachusetts. She became a registered Democrat and
the process of her radicalization was set in motion.
Heinz Kerry is not shy about telling people that she
required Kerry to sign a pre- nuptial agreement before they were married. John
Kerry may not have check-writing privileges on the Heinz catsup and pickle
fortune, but he is certainly a willing and uncomplaining beneficiary of it. A
lot of hard-earned money, made through many years of hawking catsup, pickles,
and soup, has fallen into the hands of two people who despise successful
entrepreneurship and who believe in the confiscatory redistribution of wealth.
So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's
money? Just one example:
According to the G2
Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of WorldNetDaily, in the years
between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4 million to an organization called the
Tides Foundation. And what does the Tides Foundation do with John Heinz's
money?
It supports numerous anti-war groups,
including Ramsey Clark's International Action Center. Clark has offered to
defend Saddam Hussein when he's tried.
It supports
the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the Tides Foundation and
billionaire hate-monger George Soros. The Democratic Justice Fund seeks to ease
restrictions on Muslim immigration from "terrorist" states.
It supports the Council for American-Islamic
Relations, whose leaders are known to have close ties to the terrorist group,
Hamas.
They support the National Lawyers Guild,
organized as a communist front during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys,
Lynne Stewart, has been arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel
Rahman, communicate with terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind
of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
It supports
Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League, and the
Abortion Action Project.
It supports the most violent
of all homosexual action groups, ACT-UP.
It supports
the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose primary goal is to return
all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to Mexico.
These are but a few of the radical groups that
benefit, through the anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the
generosity of our would-be first lady - the wealthy widow of Republican senator
John Heinz, and now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the
44th President of the United States.
If voters will
only try to imagine a woman such as Teresa Heinz Kerry, the fairy godmother of
the radical left, laying her head on a pillow each night just inches from the
President of the United States, hopefully they will decide that the only way
these two will ever be allowed into the White House is with an engraved
invitation in hand.
As I recall that somewhat
embarrassing chance meeting in the men's restroom at the Maverick Steakhouse in
Harrisburg, instead of mumbling some inane nonsense about getting caught in a
friendly embrace, I wish now that I'd had the good sense to whisper in his ear,
"John! Go home! Get a lawyer! Change your will!"
But,
of course, we didn't know her then, did we? |
