The Tahirih Justice Center is an affiliate of the CIA operated
National Endowment for Democracy(NED) through the funding and subsidy
it receives from Exxon Mobil and Chevron Texaco:

And an affiliate to several subsidiary organizations that run the NED
and the pro-Zionist Likkudnik, i.e. Michael Maggio:
"In 2002, Maggio received the Tahirih Justice Center's (TJC) Pushing
the Envelope award "for his pioneering legal work and generous support
of immigrants." According to their website, the TJC is an organization
"that enables women and girls fleeing gender-based violence to access
justice in the United States through high-quality pro bono legal
services and bridgebuilding public policy advocacy." However, Maggio's
receipt of the Pushing the Envelope award should not really come as a
surprise, as when he received TJC's award he was already a member of
their advisory board. In addition, in 2000 and 2001, TJC's board of
directors had a number of links to 'democratic' organizations which
came through Marla Zometsky (who represented the National Democratic
Institute), Vasu Mohan (who represented the International Foundation
for Election Systems), and Farida (who represented the Vital Voices
Global Partnership, which received NED aid in 2004).[5] However, at
present, the only 'democratically' linked director at TJC is Michael
F. MacLeod, who was a director of the Advocacy Institute in 2003 (at
least) - which is now known as the Advocacy Center at ISC. Current
'democratic' advisory board members sitting alongside Maggio at the
TJC include Theresa Loar (who is the cofounder and founding president
of Vital Voices), and Clovis Maksoud (who was formerly on the advisory
board of the American Committee on Jerusalem). Finally, particularly
'democratic' organizations and corporations listed as funders of TJC's
work include Creative Associates International, Inc., ChevronTexaco,
ExxonMobil, and the Moriah Fund."

In the name of human rights and women rights, these bahaim
organizations function as fronts for advancing US and Israeli
interests throughout the world, particularly in the Mid East.
