Proof of RED CROSS SCAM IN HAITI to the tune of hundreds of millions

It's ok, Americans dont' mind this or the bailouts do they?

Yes exactly.

Everything "of consequence" is owned and run by psychopaths. Also worthy of note is the scam charity "sponsored" by bush and clinton. Just how much, really, filtered down to "the peasants" do you think? Hmmmm.

I know someone who works for FEMA and she said that millions and millions of dollars were missing, but they weren't allowed to talk about it. Hmmmmm......

Red Cross is a TPTB scam and always has been. Law states only 10% of donation has to be spent.

they do it every time, yet they never even get their hand slapped.

too many of them would rather persecute poor desperate brown folk...strain at knats and swallow camels kinda thing.

Doesn't this sound like the $$$ donated to 9/11?

This is why I don't donate $$

Well, Duh!!!

They pulled the same routine in the days following 911 on their OWN people, so why do you think anyone else would fare any better.

My fellow office workers thought I was being a bit of a stick-in-the-mud when I refused to donate to the Red Cross 911 Relief Fund. I explained to them that was because little or none of it will ever make it to the victims or families of that or any other disaster. That 95% of the donations will go to the administrators of the Red Cross. A few months later, one of my staff tearfully brought me a newspaper article that sadly proved I was correct. Apparently the Red Cross had ear-marked the great majority of the donations towards new facilities, vehicles, pay raises, etc.

And don't even get me started on the part the Red Cross played in the torturous and expensive slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Haemophiliacs around the globe. The guy responsible was PROMOTED and sequestered away at their headquarters in Geneva (like a pedo-priest at the Vatican) and is now legally untouchable.

Some things never change...
I would never support this TERRORIST ORGANIZATION!

CBS) Four months after the earthquake, more than 1.5 million Haitians remain homeless. Many live amid utter devastation.

Yet enough aid has been raised to give each displaced family a check for $37,000. So why are so many still going hungry and living under flimsy shelters?

CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports the little known truth is, most of the $14.9 billion that's been donated will be used on long term projects to rebuild Haiti.

Mark Weisbrot, a former economic consultant to Haiti, said, "The organizations that already have money, should be spending this right now. This is emergency relief.."

To find out what has been spent so far, CBS News looked at five major non-profits: CARE, Catholic Relief Services, the Red Cross, the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund and the separate Clinton Foundation Haiti Fund.

Only the Clinton-Bush fund and Clinton Foundation refused to answer our questions, despite repeated e-mails and phone calls. Their websites say they've received $52 million in donor dollars, and have spent only about $7 million: less than one-seventh.

The other charities gave us breakdowns:

The Red Cross has raised $444 million and spent about 25 percent ($111 million) of it, including $55 million for "emergency relief," such as food and kitchen items, and $42.9 million for shelter including tarps, tents and blankets.

CARE has raised $34.4 million and spent about 16 percent ($5.75 million), $2.5 million of that on "shelter."

And at Catholic Relief Services: of $165 million committed to Haiti, it spent no more than 8 percent ($12.2 million), including $2.5 million on food $1.28 million on emergency shelter.

The charities argue they've already helped millions of people and would get criticized if they spent too much up front instead of addressing the long term.

"At the same time we move quickly, we move also prudently with spending the funds so that we ensure that the investment is made prudently," said Gary Philoctete, CARE Assistant Country Directory Haiti.

As head of the American Red Cross, Gail McGovern is well-aware of prior scandals where the Red Cross was accused of collecting money for one cause but spending it on another.

"Can you tell the public today that every dime raised by the American Red Cross for Haiti will be spent on Haiti?" Attkisson asked.

"Minus the nine cents overhead, 91 cents on the dollar will be going to Haiti," McGovern said. "I give you my word and my commitment. I'm banking my integrity, my personal sense of integrity on that statement."

It's too soon to get the most detailed accounting. Each non-profit has its own policing mechanisms, like independent audits and advisory committees. They each say they can show with great precision where nearly every penny is going, but that will take time.

Bill Canny leads Emergency Operations for Catholic Relief Services - which has spent the least proportionally of the charities we looked at.

"Our donors don't just ask that we spend money quickly, they ask that we spend money on quality programs that are transparent," Canny said.

With so many billions of dollars in the mix, one thing's clear. There's plenty to spend money on and no shortage of questions about how and when it will be used.

When we have so many in this country now that are homeless and without the basic necessities of life available I will NOT donate to ANY charities that deal outside the USA. I have seen waste, fraud and misappropriation of funds to a degree that would make most 3rd world countried wealthy.

NO MORE until we help those at home.

As for my family, my daughter decides what she thinks is best for donations.

Last year we spend upwards of 2 grand buying food for the state and local food banks.

Over time we have learned that cash donations do not go for their intended purposes. Since we know the food stuff will go for real individuals and families.

you would think we would have all learned after Katrina...

they got yah all again with HAITI


suckers......

I have a friend that I grew up with is a prominent DC Democrat. her husband is a lobbyist for the Red Cross and they have become MILLIONAIRES of that money, alone.

The Red Double Cross is at it again. My donations start within our borders. I don't see any other country gearing up to help us with our disasters. Nuff said....

They did the same friggin thing during the 9-11 fundraiser.


People never learn. <sigh>

understood. y donate 20 dollars from me to Ron Paul when another secret society tard rigs the elections?

I am wondering what kind of negativity did you get on a local level from loyal volunteers of the red cross and what kind of attitude did you get from their family and community for saying a negative truth about the red cross? 1) Oklahoma city bombings vi tims mother recieved donations from around the country to bury her children but she ne er re ieved a dime. Same with 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Rita, and now Sandy.
