The Pew-Sunoco/Rockefeller nexus is indeed interesting. And your classification of Pew as a Sponsor gets to the core of our shared dilemma.
The support by Pew and his family of radical Republican/conservative agendas present either as commitments to the anti-communist world crusade OR as commitments to continuation of the Cold War deception.
Or both, depending upon which members of the Pew family we're talking about.
I would submit that by definition, Cold War true believers could not rise above the Facilitator level. Do you follow this logic?

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
