OT: Fw: Don't Give Your Hurricane Donations to the Red Cross
Your source link didn't work for me and I would like
to research this more because I love the Red Cross. During hurricanes Floyd and Fran (here in NC) they did incredible work. I know that not all the money
people contribute goes to the immediate disaster because they handle so many
"little" disasters (like an apartment building fire in Durham last week that made 5 families homeless, they found shelter for those
families.) So it would be impossible and unfair to take every single
penny from a general fund and spend it all in one place. Plus, if you
tell the person collecting the money you want it to go ONLY to hurricane Katrina then it will only go to Katrina.
As I say I would like to read things from the source and see the research the
author did before I change my mind about an organization I have so much gratitude
and respect for.
The Charity that I can't deal with is Project Blessings because it's been
proven that Pat Robertson has taken funds out of it and put them in his
personal accounts. He was under investigation for 5 jet planes he bought
until his buddy Bush derailed it.

Don't Give Your Hurricane Donations
to the Red Cross
Establishment charities have history of withholding
disaster funds
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | September 1 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 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.
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.
