 Front Organization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A front organization may simply be a proxy that keeps the parent group's name out of the picture or it may look publicly as if it is set up to do one thing, but actually be set up to do something else on behalf of its parent group.
The concept of a front organisation should be distinguished from the united front - a coalition of working class or socialist parties - and the popular front - a coalition of a Communist party with bourgeious groups.
These parties may or may not be front organizations in the narrow sense — they have varying degrees of autonomy and the relationships are usually something of an open secret — but are widely considered to be so, especially by their political opponents.

 Front groups - SourceWatch
The front group is perhaps the most easily recognized use of the third party technique.
Of course, not all organizations engaged in manipulative efforts to shape public opinion can be classified as "front groups." For example, the now-defunct Tobacco Institute was highly deceptive, but it didn't hide the fact that it represented the tobacco industry.
Thus, citizen smokers' rights groups and organizations of bartenders or restaurant workers working against smoking bans are sometimes characterized as front groups for the tobacco industry, but it is possible that some of these groups are self-initiated (although the tobacco industry has been known to use restaurant groups as fronts for its own interests).

The memorandum said, the terrorist organization the LTTE existing over two decades in Canada, through its front organizations had even infiltrated the body politic of Canada with the allure of campaign funds and assurances of block voting by the Tamil Diaspora whom they manipulate and control.
The organization said the next logical step of the government would be to sealing off the conduits of money to the Tamil Tiger terrorists by extending the proscribing laws to cover their known front organizations and ancillary propaganda and funding arms.

 LankaLibrary Forum :: View topic - Canadian Connection: LTTE Front Organizations and Networking
The irony of a Tamil front organization clinging to the skirts of anti-racism in Canada while supporting the violent pursuit of a single ethnic state in Sri Lanka seems to have escaped most outside observers.
Established in 1985 in northeastern Sri Lanka, the organization is part of a network in 15 countries and was designated as a terrorist front by CSIS in December 2000.
These organizations, however, hesitate to describe themselves as being part of a consortium with the TRO (although its Canadian Website implies that they are), but see cooperation with them as part of the price of doing business inside Tiger dominated areas.

The development and control of front organizations (or "facade" organizations) is an essential process in the guerrilla effort to carry out the insurrection.
The fusion of organizations recognized by the Sandinista government, such as associations and other groups, through internal subjective control, occurs in the final stages of the operation, in a tight connection with mass meetings.

The Guild’s current organizational structure—forty-two local chapters grouped into nine regions—supports both decentralized operations on the regional level and a cohesive plan of attack on the national level.

The Guild also won a lawsuit against the FBI for the Bureau’s surveillance directed at it, a "legal, activist organization." As the 1990s arrived and Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Guild "mobilized opposition" to Gulf War I. Sadly for the Guild, the Soviet Union collapsed.

BANGALORE - While the Indian government has been tightening rules for non-government organizations receiving foreign funds, especially those run by religious minorities, front organizations of the Sangh Parivar (of which the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party - BJP - is a part) continue to receive millions of dollars from abroad.
The Sangh Parivar is a fraternity of Hindu right-wing organizations that espouse Hindutva, that is, Hindu supremacist ideology.
The report says that the IDRF "is not a secular and non-sectarian organization as it claims to be, but is, on the contrary, a major conduit of funds for Hindutva organizations in India".

The organization was known for cross-border terrorist attacks into Israel using unusual means, such as hot-air balloons and motorized hang gliders.
The new organization continues to employ violence to achieve its goals of peasant revolution, abolition of class hierarchies, and expansion of Maoist-controlled "liberated zones", eventually leading to the creation an independent "Maoist" state.
The United People’s Front, a coalition of left-wing parties, participated in the elections of 1991, but the Maoist wing failed to win the required minimum number of votes, leading to its exclusion from voter lists in the elections of 1994 and prompting the group to launch the insurgency in 1996.

 What We Must Know about Communism
For another thing, the Communists overplayed their hand: while calling for a united front, they so constantly stressed their own program and revolutionary aims that those who represented other groups were both irritated and put on guard.
It is against the background of these five united fronts that we must judge the aims and integrity of the sixth: the "United Front for Peace" which was launched at the 1949 meeting of the Comintern and which has ever since been the mainstay of Soviet foreign policy.
