Alec Baldwin Fund Tied to Wall Street, Big Oil
Actor partners with Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Exxon, and a charity that urges evading capital gains tax.
(Page 2 of 6)
Other liberal targets who have partnered with the Baldwins include all manner of corporations and others ranging from insurance companies (Liberty Mutual) to a powerful media empire (Disney) to a foundation tied to the ex-wife of Ivan Boesky, the “King of Wall Street” who went to jail for an insider trading scandal and was famously used as a role model for the “Gordon Gekko” character played by Michael Douglas in the popular film Wall Street.
The full lists of Baldwin “Corporate Partners” can be found here.
That’s not all.
Over on his own Alec Baldwin website, one finds a list of “Causes” in addition to that of the Baldwin Fund that the actor favors and recommends for donations, providing links. Several feature instructions for corporate donors or those who wish to transfer that famous Wall Street entity — shares of stock — to the cause in question.
For example, Baldwin is a backer of the Roundabout Theatre in New York. Says Baldwin in an entry from May of this year:
There are, of course, many great theatre companies in New York City, all presenting productions by the world’s greatest writers, mounted by the world’s most gifted directors and designers and cast with the world’s most compelling actors. Choosing one as a favorite is impossible.
However, one of them has become a home to me…. I performed… at the (home of Roundabout Theatre) American Airlines Theatre in 2004 and returned in 200.… I love the Roundabout. It’s just that simple.
In 2011, my foundation gave a gift to them to show that love. I hope you’ll visit their site. Here is their link: www.roundabouttheatre.org”
Stop. Did you catch it?
What is the home of the Roundabout Theatre that Alec Baldwin loves so much and recommends? The theatre where he has twice performed? That’s right. The name is American Airlines Theatre. Here’s a photo of the lush interior and a history provided by Roundabout.
The theatre is named after American Airlines because of a payment for “naming rights.” Roundabout offers what it calls “Our Corporate Friends” “Naming Rights & Venue Branding” opportunities, which is presumably how the lavishly refurbished theater pictured above came to name its home after an airline.
American Airlines is a subsidiary of the AMR Corporation, a commercial aviation company. And why is AMR named “AMR”? The name comes from American Airlines’ “ticker symbol” on… the New York Stock Exchange. Making AMR, but of course, a card-carrying Wall Street corporation.
And American Airlines isn’t the only “Corporate Friend” of this Baldwin favorite. Lo and behold there is… wait for it… Bank of America listed just below American Airlines. That would be the same Bank of America that owns Merrill Lynch. And Merrill Lynch would be the same Merrill Lynch that, yes indeed, is a “Corporate Partner” of the Baldwin Fund where Alec Baldwin sits as a Board member.
Then there’s the curious case of another Alec Baldwin favorite cause listed and linked on his website and for which he seeks your contributions. That would be the Radiation and Public Health Project. This, says Baldwin, is “The group that has kept me informed for nearly twenty years about the truth regarding radiation used in public utility reactors.”
This one’s a beaut. Alec Baldwin, like many liberals, is not fond of nuclear power. So he supports the RPHP, which uses its money to investigate the effects of radiation. And in turn, Alec Baldwin, as seen here in a piece he wrote for the Huffington Post (“The Human Costs of Nuclear Power”) uses its research to advocate his position.

Useful idiots of Wall Street would not care even to know that Baldwin is a member of the Millionaire Boy Club through to his forked Lib tongue. They care nothing of realities, facts or any sense of responsibility for self. They are pathetic and beneath contempt. Weak willed, and of Zero integrity. Why would anyone want to hire this sniveling rot.
mzk1| 11.4.11 @ 8:19AM
Wait. Didn't Baldwin go down to OWS and defend capitalism?
I don't mean he's not a leftists nut. Didn't he threate nto leave the country if one of the Bsuh's won? But in this case...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Alec Baldwin is a Lying, HIPOCRYTE? No way. I guess "Father of the Year" wasn't enough for him.
Wow. Another Hollywood Liberal, with his hand in the Millionaire's/Billionaire's Pocket. I wonder how much Money he's going to give to Obama? I wonder if he was one of the Millionaires and Billionaires, with Obama, at Martha's Vineyard?
I wonder if he Flies in Private Jets? I wonder if he has a Mansion? I know that his Daughter is a "Lying little PIG", but, I don't know if Alec is SHARING in the SACRIFICE?
Has he written a check to the IRS? Has Barbara Streisand written a nice Fat Check, to her Messiah? How much MONEY do these people make? How RICH are the Democrat's most Loyal Useful Idiots? What is TOM HANKS pulling in, for every Movie he's in? What's he doing, these days, to "Spread HIS WEALTH around?
I know that they're all for "Open Borders" and "Gun Control". I wonder if they have Fences, and Iron Gates, where they live? I wonder if they have SECURITY people, with Guns, to protect THEIR Families. I wonder if they have Accountants, to keep as much Money, as they can, away from the IRS?
I see that Nancy Pelosi has finally gotten around to releasing her Financial Disclosure Forms. It seems that her Husband, made quite the Haul, on a piece of land that he got for a song, not too long ago. I wonder why she waited so long. Harry Reid (Small Town/Country Lawyer turned MILLIONAIRE) gets these Sweetheart Land Deals, all the time. Chris Dodd got these deals, all the time. Dianne Feinstein's Husband's Companies, used to get Government Defence Contracts, all the time, when she was on that Committee. When he Retired, she left that Committee.
I wish they would just DIE. I hate these people, like I hate every Enemy of this Country. Why won't they Die? How do they look themselves in the Mirror, KNOWING, what they are doing to the rest of us? They do everything that they accuse everybody else, of doing. I wish they would just Die, and leave us alone?
Al Adab| 10.11.11 @ 11:12AM
Baldwin, along with Barbara Striesand, threatened to leave the country back in '04 if Bush was re-elected. Obviously he is not as good as his word. Why do we continue to confuse celebrity with insight?
Mike D.| 10.11.11 @ 2:09PM

It certainly doesn't have much to do with Timothy Pennell's screed.
Margie| 10.13.11 @ 9:38PM
Consider this, when Jesus says,
"Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My Voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me.
He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with Me on My Throne, as I Myself conquered and sat down with My Father on His Throne." Rev. 3:19-21.
There you have God's love speaking. Imagine that! He says that if He loves someone, He reproves and chastens them.
So you see, true love has to do with seeking, speaking, and serving the truth. (Jn. 14:6).
What if God just decided to leave us all alone? If He didn't bother to send His only begotten Son to die for us, in our place, for our sins?
What if His children who believe in Him didn't bother to warn others of Hell to which He says we are all headed without His saving Grace?
Love means caring enough to say what's true, no matter whose feelings may be "hurt."
Another great Scripture is this one:
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy." Prov. 27:6.

That is the crux of the entire matter with all those liberal celebrities and politicians. There never was any consideration for the poor, the children, or minorities. It is ALL about power and greed. Too bad for so many useful idiots are too anal to understand.

Yesterday evening I harvested about two bushel baskets of sweet-potatoes from my garden. A few weeks before that, I harvested about a 400 lbs of assorted squash. I've beans, peppers, and tomatoes canned and frozen. Next Saturday, my wife and I are taking a class on how to raise chickens for meat and eggs. And next year, I plan to double the size of my garden for more produce. What does this have to do with alex baldwin? Well first, I don't watch his movies. Second, I don't watch his t.v. shows. Third, I don't buy anything from the mega-companies that line his pockets. Let more of us do the same.

Lefty hoaxers abound.....
You're never alone
You're never disconnected
You have faith in your own
When the Feds are expected
You will be protected....
Then you are set
With a capital F

Till we cart you away
When you're a FRAUD
Someone gets in your way
Someone don't feel so well

Lit'le man you're in good hands
When you're a Fraud

“Morgan Stanley received some $2 trillion in loans”.
Uh, Mr. Lord---I think you just demonstrated how far gone America is, by mixing up “trillion” for “billion”. Also, none of the commentators have noticed this, yet.
In your long and extensively detailed expose of Baldwin’s RICH hypocrisy, for this old fart, what stands out in dollar terms that somewhat relate to my own money experience was your note that he gets $300,000 per episode of his TV job.
Mein Gott!
It seems like only yesterday when it was astounding news that some baseball player was to get $100,000 per YEAR!
What a spectacle!
Who Knows| 10.11.11 @ 12:00PM
Who Knows...
Actually, I looked several times at the source...a long piece in Rolling Stone...and the writer quite certainly said "trillion" with another 2 trillion for another big bank. You could call it a "wow" moment.
Who Knows?| 10.11.11 @ 10:30PM
I'm sorry, but a trillion dollars is way too much for just ONE bank to even have as loans outstanding, BEFORE the government gets involved.

Come on guys. Don't be angry at Alec. Just watch the movie, "Fun With Dick and Jane." Great movie. All of you seem to be shocked by this. Do you actually believe that these high profile big money so called "Liberals" are actually above taking advantage of the tax laws? Why do you think that there has never been any real tax reform? Why do you think that the Democrats haven't already "taxed the rich?" Answer: Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Bill Clinton, George Soros, The Kennedy Family, The Hollywood Liberals, Etc. Etc. All this talk about "taxing the rich" is nothing more than pablum offered up to the idealistic rank and file liberals whose votes, support, and money are needed to "keep the dream alive."

Item 2: A person being hypocritical is a "hypocrite." The person is not a "hipocryte."
Item 3: We know that Baldwin threatened to leave the US if Bush was reelected. We know this because it is stated in several of the previous comments. It is no longer a witty "zinger."
Item 4: Nobody wants to read your poetry, so, for the love of God, spare us.
Item 5: If you plan to show off your machismo by making an analogy between a scathing article and a sharp instrument, choose an appropriate instrument.
Item 6: Wishing people that you disagree with would "just die" says a lot about your mental state. Seek professional help.

Good catch, ModGal. For those of you who aren't babies insulting each other or trolls coming out from under your bridges, she's right. None of the businesses mentioned in the article are on the down-to-earth-looking Carol Baldwin Foundation sponsor list. It looks like mostly small and individual local businesses and local TV and radio stations. Which would make Carol Baldwin Foundation a real charity, which she has a right to do regardless of her son's very public political opinions.

Didn't he use the money for charity? Yes its "bad" money from the "Baldwin is a liberal whacko and activist perspective" but from a "we are a small charity and could really do some good with the cash perspective" who cares where the money came from? Its not blood money or drug money, its corporate donations. Please enlighten me. Thanks!~

Lately, Baldwin has been doing a "Now you know" PSA on NBC, advocating the recycling of newspapers to 'save a tree'. Doesn't the idiot even know that trees for newsprint are a crop? Farmers in NC grow them specifically for newspapers.

Jeffrey, a very well researched article. However, I think Alec Baldwin should be commended for giving donations and promoting his charitable causes, such as theatre and breast cancer. As I'm sure you're aware, many highly vocal "liberal" celebrities and especially "liberal" politicians are generally far less charitable or prefer to do "benefits" or participate in video campaigns that give their careers exposure with no financial commitment whatsoever, as they advocate for tax dollars to be spent for their "causes" instead.
