Once again, Haiti is devastated by a natural disaster, this time by Hurricane Matthew.
By Dr. Eowyn
Before the hurricane plowed into the southeast U.S. coast, where it caused major flooding and widespread power outages, “Matthew” had struck Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas, killing 877 people and displacing tens of thousands.
No doubt, there’ll be a drumbeat asking you to donate to Haiti’s hurricane relief, if it hasn’t already begun.
Don’t!
Below are the reasons why.
“In 2010, a massive 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti, killing more than 200,000 people, leveling 100,000 homes, and leaving 1.5 million people destitute.”
As Dinesh D’Souza recounts for National Review, July 18, 2016,”countries around the world, as well as private and philanthropic groups such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, provided some $10.5 billion in aid, with $3.9 billion of it coming from the United States. But very little of this aid money actually got to poor people in Haiti.”
Bill Clinton & George W. Bush inspected the devastation of the Haiti earthquake, March 22, 2010.
According to the National Review:
“Bill Clinton was the designated UN representative for aid to Haiti. Following the earthquake, Bill Clinton had with media fanfare established the Haiti Reconstruction Fund. Meanwhile, his wife Hillary was the U. S. secretary of state, in charge of U.S. aid allocated to Haiti. Together the Clintons were the two most powerful people who controlled the flow of funds to Haiti from around the world.”

In 2015, Vice.com sent an investigative reporter to Haiti, who was shocked to find Haiti still devastated 5 years after the earthquake, with many people homeless or living in self-made shacks, without running water or plumbing, despite the $10 billion in relief aid pledged around the world.

Transcript of the video (selected excerpts):
7:21 mark: “What’s odd is that the Haitians who received little to no foreign aid actually seem to be doing than those in the designated relief areas.
8:06 mark: “But there was one permanent structure that was built here for the earthquake survivors. For some reason the International Olympics Committee [IOC} thought that these people could use an $18 million state-of-the-art soccer field and recreation center [instead of plumbing and running water], adding insult to injury in a community lacking in even the most basic amenities.”
8:32 mark: “But this [the IOC soccer field] wasn’t the only strange reconstruction project we saw foreign aid invested in. Seven hours north of the earthquake, over $300 million of foreign aid was spent in the district of Caracol, [a town that wasn’t affected by the earthquake]…. But even though the town wasn’t affected, it didn’t stop our government aid from being invested in another soccer field [that actually cost $2.9 million to built, not the $300 million spent by the contractor. The State Department’s records say the cost of constructing the Caracol soccer field was even lower — $2.3 million.] And when we looked at the cost of many other projects, we noticed the same contractor kept coming up [– Chemonics, the largest USAID recipient across the world, including in Afghanistan….] There’s been a number of audits that have shown lack of progress, the lack of oversight. Here, this is a contract of Chemonics with USAID. All the cost information throughout the contract, that’s all redacted, and we just have [blank] pink sheet after pink sheet…25 pink sheets [in total].”
11:21 mark: “USAID’s real investment here [in Caracol] is the more than $260 million spent for the Caracol industrial park — the largest U.S. development project in the aftermath of the earthquake…. [T]here’s paved streets, there’s sidewalks, there’s electricity and there’s drinkable running water which is actually unheard of in Haiti. Unfortunately, it only provides roughly only 10% of the jobs it promised. Its main tenant is a South Korean garment manufacturing company which enjoys cheap labor, tax exemptions and duty-free access to the U.S. market. Worst of all, none of the employees we met were earthquake survivors, and the plan for the park was drawn up before the [earthquake] disaster even happened.“
13:17 mark: “While many attempts to reform the system have been made, to date, nothing has changed, and the result is the faileddisaster capitalism we see in Haiti, where aid has become an industry of pro-profit companies. In fact, only a month after the earthquake, our own U.S. ambassador was quoted in a leaked document claiming ‘The gold rush is on.’ And now these same companies are using lobbying groups to ensure reforms never come. It’s often said that waste, inefficiency, corruption, these are problems that are unique to the developing world, that are unique to Haiti. The reality is that these are actually fundamental aspects of the U.S. foreign aid complex. Instead of relying on potentially corrupt money, we simply give it to U.S. companies and allow them to take 25% off the top. It’s a different form of corruption, and without realizing that, we’ll continue to make the same mistakes going forward.”
The standard advice for donating to charities is “Keep it local,” i.e., donate only to local charities where you can keep a better eye on how your donations are spent.
Why Haitians are urging people not to donate to American Red Cross
Harriet Agerholm
As the death count after Hurricane Matthew approaches 900 and reports of deadly cholera outbreaks begin to surface, Haitians have sent out desperate pleas for help.
Government officials estimate at least 350,000 people needed assistance after the devastating storm.
Yet accompanying many requests for aid comes a warning – do not give your money to the American Red Cross (ARC).
Trust in the ARC, and in foreign aid more widely, has been badly shaken by a 2015 report that found donations had been squandered.
Despite collecting nearly half a billion dollars to provide relief after the 2010 Haiti earthquake and pledging to build 700 permanent homes, the ARC has been accused of only building six.
“In the coming days, many of you are going to write and ask me how you can ‘help Haiti’,” one woman said on Twitter after the hurricane, “Do not give to the American Red Cross.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMylOuTnSJE
She asked people to give instead to Haitian organisations and requested people not send goods that could be sourced locally.
The joint investigation by ProPublica and NPR found rampant mismanagement at the heart of the ARC and charged it with consistent misrepresentation of the success of its projects, particularly in housing.
The group has also been implored to hire more Haitians in its highest ranks.
Responding to the report, the American Red Cross said in a statement it was “disappointed, once again, by the lack of balance, context and accuracy in the most recent reporting by ProPublica and NPR”.
The allegations against the ARC came amid complaints against the failure of the entire international community to manage the 2010 Haitian disaster.
After the earthquake, close to £9bn was pledged to help the country in its recovery.
Yet critics argue that the money was not used so Haiti could be “built back better”, as officials had promised.
Instead, an estimated 55,000 Haitians are still living in tents or other makeshift shelters and few advances in disaster planning have been implemented.
Following Hurricane Matthew, in Grand Anse alone there were 66,000 houses destroyed and a further 20,000 badly damaged, according to Unicef.
Government officials estimate that at least 350,000 people needed assistance, and concern was growing over an increase in cholera cases following widespread flooding unleashed by the deadly storm.
An ongoing cholera outbreak has already killed some 10,000 people and more than 800,000 have been made ill since 2010, when the infectious disease was introduced into the country’s biggest river from a UN base.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/haitians-urging-people-not-give-money-american-red-cross-how-to-help-hurricane-matthew-aid-cholera-a7352681.html
Here are the three highly respectable leaders of the United States asking for help in behalf of the Haitians trying to survive in the aftermath of the earthquake, 6 years ago.
Let’s just pretend that HAARP wasn’t used on this, and the last one.

The sincerity was overwhelming indeed. Noticeably, Bush Jr. preferred money over water, probably because they’re too heavy to transport. Bill Clinton, however, suggested a more comprehensive long-term assistance from you of course. Grateful Obama, for his part, acknowledged the “two gentlemen of extraordinary stature” for their help in the relief effort, if indeed there was truly one.
The following video is sent to us by John, showing Haitian senate president exposing the Clinton Foundation for its grossly reprehensible actions in Haiti.
“Former Haitian President of Senate is speaking out to tell the truth about Clinton Foundation at a Trump event! The former president said that Clinton was trying to buy him. She tried to appeal to him (bribe him).
She defrauded the people of Haiti. He spent 4 hours with Bill Richardson to tell Bill Clinton not to invade Haiti. A week later the embassy called him and told him that Bill Clinton has a messenger for him. He came and told him to sign with Bill Clinton, join his movement and Clinton will make him the richest man in Haiti. He told him he is a principled man and he will not sell out. He just challenged Trump to ask Hillary Clinton to publish the audit of all the money they have stolen from Haiti in 2010. He is explaining it very detailed.”

Reblogged this on Matthews' Blog and commented:
If this proves true, then Clinton Foundation is a disgrace.
Reblogged this on OCCUPY AMERICA and commented:
The only black life that matters to Obama is his own. Good thing Killer E. CLINTON does not need to pander to the Haitians for votes.
This is the prime spot for the entire Clinton family.
The Foundation should have to pay whatever it takes to get these people’s lives livable again and all the Clinton’s should be sent there to be directly hands on in the effort.
Make them live their life in conditions they put the Haitians in. Set them up in one of those trailers laced with chemicals.
Maybe a taste of that would give them a reality check.
The emergency equipment arrived in Haiti the day before the quake.. talk about foresight …..
My blood id boiling. How can supposedly civilised human being like the Clintons be so evil………Prison is too good for them
The Progressive Review
This list was compiled at the end of the Clinton administration.
Our Clinton Scandal Index: http://www.prorev.com/legacy.htm
The Clintons, to adapt a line from Dr. Johnson, were not only corrupt, they were the cause of corruption in others. Yet seldom in America have so many come to excuse so much mendacity and malfeasance as during the Clinton years. Here are some of the facts that have been buried, their legacy:
RECORDS SET:
– The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
– Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates
– Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
– Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
– Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
– First president sued for sexual harassment
– Second president accused of rape
– First “first lady” to come under criminal investigation
– Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
– First president to establish a legal defense fund
– First president to be held in contempt of court
– Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
– Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
– First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court…and

CNN is stunned when faced with the latest information about the FBI’s dump of Hillary Clinton’s 17,500 emails, which she denied existed. She said she didn’t know that drone strikes were classified. She said that she did not understand that ‘C’ meant classified. She lied about wiping the server. She said that the reason she used a private server was for convenience and that she only had one device. In fact, she used 13 Blackberries and 5 iPads, some of which were destroyed with hammers after they were used. CNN posted 2016 Sep 4
HILLARY DISQUALIFIED FROM PRESIDENCY
2016 Sep 1 from Rocknjack
Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey told MSNBC that, not only is Hillary Clinton’s private email server illegal, it “disqualifies” her from holding any federal office. He cited federal law, Title 18. Section 2071, which says:
“(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
“(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.” Shouldn’t voters know that? The media won’t tell them. So it’s up to us.
Her talent-snipets of conversations to slander Mr. Trump and keeping the FBI & DOJ busy.
The United States government closed out the 2016 fiscal year that ended a few days ago on Friday September 30, 2016 with a debt level of $19,573,444,713,936.79. That’s an increase of $1,422,827,047,452.46 over last year’s fiscal year close.
Democrats and Republicans=Moe, Larry and Curly……vote to replace them with a businessman, maybe not perfect(relative to Clinton devious standards) but a lot smarter and non-criminal.
Short poem you won’t forget.
Do you recall the President referring to the Benghazi incident as “a bump in the road?”
Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has
Written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives.
At the end of the interview,
he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and, of course,
The anchor said “yes.”
He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not.
He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole
Affair.
The poem was written by an anonymous Marine Corps officer:
“THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI ”
We’re the battling boys of Benghazi ,
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell,
Defending our country we loved so well.
It wasn’t our job, but we answered the call,
Fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety and stood at the gate.
Just the two of us and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought and we fought and we fought ’til we died.
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack and Hillary didn’t give a damn.
Just two dead Seals who carried the load
No thanks to us…we were just
“Bumps In The Road”.
—-00—-
So, will this reach every American with a computer? Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seals’ execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing?
“What difference does it make?”
And she wants to be the next President!
LOCK HER UP!!!!!! CROOKED, LIAR, TWO-FACED, TAKES MONEY FROM FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS WHICH ABUSE WOMEN: WILL SAY AND DO ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED!! Recent television ad says, “One who has spent her life helping children and families”….ask the people in Little Haiti of Miami, FL if they will be voting for Hillary
We have been duped for so many years. I actually supported the Clintons in the past. The bright side is i never supported the Bush’s.
Trump and Putin for allied world leaders in the destruction of world banker terror, ISIS, ALciaDA. God bless Trump and Putin in their good work for peace and prosperity for all. All lives matter.
Could somebody out there please tell me if the Pakistani intelligence group IS I was the forerunner of what we now refer to as ISIL?
Clinton Foundation has never even helped the American People who have lost their homes and their towns in ruins. The media is being paid no doubt to run Trump down. He is the one that is out to help the ordinary. Clinton and the Foundation and those involved in the cover up in media, FBI and CIA need to be charged and goaled for life. The media would never say boo about Obama but has done nothing but try to stir trouble for Trump and praise the Musllms . Tump has said he is against Terrorists all the media is not.
Surely investigation into the missing Funds given for the Haiti Disaster to the Clinton Foundation should be released. Such a Poor Country terribly in need when Hillary was US Secretary of State and Bill the U.N. Representative for Aid to Haiti. 2 Billion dollars still Missing.
