This demonstrates how our consciousness is determined by our 
expectations, and how we imbue our experience with this consciousness 
to form "knowledge".

In fact, there are funds everywhere that come without strings of some 
sort but in almost every case these are funds that are *given* not 
funds that are *raised (translation: requested)*.  There are even 
foundations that give quite large grants this way (although they are 
few and far between).

By this same dynamic, many of us who perceive the web of influence 
which defines the content of television believe that it is associated 
with money, because our "experience" has shown us that corruption and 
money are parts of the same transaction.  Even centuries ago it was 
understood that Faustus could long to see Helen, whose desirability 
set off the Great War.  Bernstein and Woodward have given us "follow 
the money" and in this way "who benefits?" has been displaced in our 
sagacious culture...
