This is about one Foundation and how it was used as vehicle by CIA to launder money into other countries as "Aid to Developing nations", and achieve its political ends. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Foundation#Relationship_wi...

The CIA had been laundering its funds for dozens of organizations and events, and the foundation served as one of its main fronts.

If you look around you will find a lot of such covert channels.

That billions of dollars and foreign aid programs are not decided and funneled through and to honest people.

We're not talking about some small time charity here.
