Just a bit about the evergreen money machine that is Haiti.

>Humanitarian agencies, NGOs, private contractors, and other non-state service providers have received 99 percent of relief aid—less than 1 percent of aid in the immediate aftermath of the quake went to public institutions or to the government.

 

The dominance of international NGOs has created a parallel state more powerful than the government itself.

 

>Even quantifying the number of NGOs operating in Haiti is a hurdle: the number is estimated to be anywhere from 343 to 20,000.

 

#What more do you need for corruption to flourish, than a country where the NGOs are powerful than the govt, records are non-existent or easily destroyed, and there is little to no accountability?

The American Red Cross spent a quarter of the money people donated after the 2010 Haiti earthquake — or almost $125 million — on its own internal expenses, far more than the charity previously had disclosed, according to a report released Thursday by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.

 

The charity insisted to congressional investigators that $70 million spent on "program expenses" included funds to oversee and evaluate its Haiti programs. But Grassley's office found that the charity "is unable to provide any financial evidence that oversight activities in fact occurred."

 

Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern told Grassley's office the charity "gave [the Government Accountability Office] everything that they asked for" during an earlier review. The report, however, says the organization did not provide everything requested, "contrary to Ms. McGovern's multiple claims that it did."

 

The Red Cross has kept the charity's own internal investigations and ethics unit "severely undermanned and underfunded," the report says, and the charity "appears to be reluctant to support the very unit that is designed to police wrongdoing within the organization."

So the Red Cross under McGovern was operating under the same type of leadership as the Hillary State dept.

 

Remember that under Hillary, she had no IG for the state dept. No one to investigate wrongdoing or corruption.

 

Same with the Red Cross, they removed or underfunded those people whose job it was to make sure that people were accountable for their actions.

 

With no oversight, they could do whatever they want. In the case of the red cross - at the very least $70 million went missing after they received $500 million in donations for aid relief.

>So the Red Cross takes its cut of ~25% of $500 Million, they hand the money over to other aid organizations, each of them take their own cut of that remaining money (up to 11%) “for operating expenses”.

 

>HOW MUCH MONEY OUT OF THAT $500 MILLION ACTUALLY MADE IT TO THE PEOPLE?

 

The Red Cross, including McGovern, repeatedly has told the public that all but 9 percent of donations spent go to humanitarian programs. But Grassley's office found that 25 percent of donations sent to Haiti — or nearly $125 million — were spent on fundraising and management, a contingency fund and the catchall category the Red Cross calls "program expenses."

 

The Red Cross sent the bulk of the remaining donated money to other nonprofits to do the work on the ground. Those other nonprofits then took their own cuts — as high as 11 percent — for their own expenses.

 

"The most important thing [from the report] is an unwillingness to level with the people exactly where the money went," Grassley says. "There's too many questions in regard to how the money was spent in Haiti … it gives me cause to wonder about other money being donated for other national disasters."

 

>So these aid organizations take in the money, spread it around to other aid organizations, who spread it to more aid organizations, and everyone takes a cut for “management expenses”.

 

>Need that meme “Sounds like money laundering with extra steps”.

So out of that $500 million dollars given to Red Cross, what did the Red Cross give that can actually be shown to help the people?

 

They built six houses.
