3 unusual facts about International Freedom Foundation


International Freedom Foundation

The International Freedom Foundation (IFF), was a self-described anti-communist group established in Washington, D.C. founded in 1986 by former lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Its Washington lobbyist/film producer, Jack Abramoff, was said by Newsday to have recruited willing – but perhaps unwitting – Republican politicians including: Senator Jesse Helms; Rep. Dan Burton; Rep. Philip Crane; Rep. Robert Dornan; and Alan Keyes.

In apparent support of the politicians' denial, a former member of SA's Directorate of Military Intelligence, Major Craig Williamson, told Newsday that Operation Babushka was designed so that the people it recruited would be unaware of the foreign funding — they would simply be reinforcing their own principled views on South Africa and the ANC.
