Katrina and the Federally Backed Fraud
The world is really messed up right now. New Orleans is crazy. And just in case you didn't know ... you should NOT be donating to the Red Cross. Only a sliver of your money will be going directly towards relief. The Red Cross has a history of withholding funds.
Months after September 11th, the Red Cross had only disbursed $154 million of the whopping $564 million in global donations it had been given. It should be obvious to anyone that this is not the way donations should be used in a crisis.
In 1989, after the Sanfrancisco earthquake disaster, the Red Cross also withheld 80% of the $50 million donated and pocketed it.
Katrina SCAM sites include:
www.katrinahelp.com
www.katrinacleanup.com
www.katrinarelief.com
Do NOT donate to the sites listed above.
For the moment, I'm not sure where the best place to put your money is. I'll post links as soon as I find out. You can do your own research and find smaller charities close to the New Orleans area. Your dollars will, most likely, go to the people who need it.
Although, I gotta say, FEMA is running the show now in Louisiana. I just hope that they're not being dicks about smaller aid operations.
