Plundering of the indefensible, innocent and poor in the
name of charity. And the thread continues where wars are fought under the
pretense of religions,
sickness is foisted in the name of health, energy and resources shortages
deliberately created to inflate prices on and on....
One does not have to go too far back in history than the 911 and Tsunami
disasters to see that governments and pretentious agencies only do something if
there is something in it for them. Sad.

Red Cross' Top Person: Marsha Evans
Top Salary:* $651,957 (FY ending 06/30/03)
Total Revenue FY ending 6/2003: $2,946,000,000"
There is no one, repeat no one, that is worth that kind of money let alone
members of a charitable organizations who can't or won't fulfill even their
mandate let alone are befitting of all that doe!
Just like days of old when all were duped into thinking that the kings where
above others but finally when challenged to prove that they indeed were better
than others they could not do it.
In this gloomy picture there yet may be glimmer of hope - naturally you will not
hear much about this if at all....
"...One charity has stayed above all this for 137 years. The Salvation Army is
unique among all U.S. charities for many reasons. Let’s start at the top.
Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary just $13,000 per year (plus housing)
for managing this $2 Billion dollar organization. By comparison, Brian
Gallagher, President of the United Way receives a $375,000 base salary (plus
numerous expensive benefits) and the Red Cross President Marsha Evans receives
$450,000 (the article was written in 2002 a wapping 50% increase in 1 year??)
plus benefits..."

"There is no such thing as a "natural" disaster. Hurricanes happen, but death
comes from official neglect, from tax cuts for the rich that cut the heart out
of public protection. The corpses in the street are victims of a class war in
which only one side has a general."

Don't Give Your Hurricane Donations to the American Red Cross
Establishment charities have criminal history of stealing disaster funds
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex
Jones | Updated September 3 2005
As the aftermath of hurricane Katrina continues to wreak mayhem and havoc amid
reports of mass looting, shooting at rescue helicopters, rapes and murders,
establishment media organs are promoting the Red Cross as a worthy organization
to give donations to.
The biggest website in the world, Yahoo.com,
displays a Red Cross donation link prominently on its front page.
Every time there is a major catastrophe the Red Cross and similar organizations
like United Way are given all the media attention while other charities are left
in the shadows. This is not to say that the vast majority of Red Cross workers
are not decent people who simply want to help those in need.
But what the media fails consistently to remember in their promotion of the
organization is that the American Red Cross have been caught time and time again
withholding money in the wake of horrible disasters that require immediate
release of funds.
The Red Cross, under the Liberty Fund, collected $564 million in donations after
9/11. Months after the event,
the Red Cross had distributed only $154 million. The Red Cross' explanation
for keeping the majority of the money was that it would be used to help 'fight
the war on terror'. To the victims, this meant that the money was going towards
bombing broken backed third world countries like Afghanistan and setting up
surveillance cameras and expanding the police state in US cities, and not
towards helping them rebuild their lives.
Then Red Cross President Dr. Bernadine Healy arrogantly responded when
questioned about the withholding of funds by stating, "The Liberty Fund is a war
fund. It has evolved into a war fund."
Despite the family members of victims of 9/11 complaining bitterly to a House
Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight panel, the issue seemed to be brushed
under the carpet and the mud didn't stick.
The Red Cross' scandalous activities
reach
back far before 9/11.
After the devastating San Francisco earthquake in 1989, the Red Cross passed on
only $10 million of the $50 million that had been raised, and banked the rest.
Similar donations after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the Red River
flooding in 1997 were also greedily withheld.
Insight Magazine reported,
“The first days after the bombing,” says one family member, “people from all
over the country were sending checks in lieu of flowers and we were getting a
lot of checks and cash every day hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. Then
the Red Cross went down to the post office and made arrangements to collect the
mail and they would deliver it to us in bulk. All the mail had been opened, and
from that point on there never was a dime, even in letters that said money was
enclosed.”
The Red Cross has been caught engaging in rampant corruption on an all too
regular basis.
3,000 people died after thousands of Canadians were infected with HIV and
hepatitis C from tainted blood supplies.The Canadian Red Cross
pleaded guilty
to the charges earlier this year after they had been directly caught
knowlingly shipping out the infected blood.
Smaller charities that were involved with the 2004 Tsunami relief project went
public to say that large charities like Red Cross and United Way were engaged in
secret backroom negotiations with each other that meant a large portion of the
donation money was purposefully restricted from reaching the most needy areas
affected by the disaster.
The history is clear, the Red Cross and other large so-called charities are in
actual fact front group collection agencies for the military industrial complex.
Many informed historians have even alleged that the Red Cross was used as a
Skull and Bones cover to overthrow The Russian Czar and pave the way for the
rise of the Bolsheviks.
Do not give any money to the Red Cross unless you support the expansion of
empire abroad and police state at home. Find a smaller trustworthy organization
in the local area of New Orleans and make your donation to them.
