Charities

England has many charities and that sounds good. They help people in need. They make the world a better place. That is the theory. The practice is not always the same. They have tax exemptions which sound reasonable but that makes them useful to the unscrupulous. A donation can be tax free in America and emerge tax free in Israel. To the cynical they are personal financial tools. Herewith are comments from sources that pop up from time to time.

Fake Charities - http://fakecharities.org/
QUOTE
Welcome to Fake Charities, the site that tracks just how much of your money the government is giving to “charities”—and at this time of The Big Society, Fake Charities is more relevant than ever.

We define a Fake Charity as any organisation registered as a UK charity that derives more than 10% of its income—and/or more than £1 million—from the government, while also lobbying the government. That lobbying can take the form of calling for new policies, changes to the law or increases in (their own) funding.

Some of these organisations spend a large amount of their time lobbying the state to curtail our freedoms and not all charities are upfront about the amount of money they receive from the state...... You can use this form to submit a charity for inclusion
UNQUOTE
Someone has his eye on the ball. Charities are all too often corporations with built in tax advantages.
PS They finger:-
The Refugee Council which uses our money to help illegal Immigrants sponge off us.

 

Charity Commission
Is alleged to regulate some 170,000 charities. Labour has recently [ 2009 or so ] moved the goal posts. This will have been to make it easier for their favourites to abuse their status.

 

Amnesty International
It is very loud, it is effective. Is it charitable? Being started by communists and Jews is a bad sign.

 

Christian Aid
Is more or less, a branch of the Labour Party in self-righteous mode. Having a tax man running it tells you all that you need to know about it.

 

Claims Conference
Is an utterly corrupt bunch of racketeers sponging off the Holocaust® Industry but then of course they are Jews and the rake off is billions.

 

Combat Poverty
Is an Irish boondoggle and when the Irish go boondoggling they do it well.

 

The Great Charity Scam
QUOTE
Most people when faced with the word charity attached to an institution are inclined to be well disposed to the organisation regardless of what the charity is supposed to do..............

The most dramatic subversion of charities comes in the form of national and local governments directing taxpayers’ money to charities to perform work which would otherwise be undertaken either directly by the public body or through the employment of a private enterprise contractor.  The charities who accept  public money – and the vast majority of the larger ones do – become no more than subcontractors  to  government. The extent of  public funding is massive:  In 2010 the Charities Commission (which oversees charities in England and Wales) concluded  “that almost a quarter of the large charities consider public sector funding to be their most important source of income. (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/government-cutbacks-could-wipe-out-25-per-cent-of-charities-1926155.html)..........

The other prime problem with  charities, even large ones, is the fact that they are often very inefficient. The poorly run ones spend a great deal on administration.  They spend inordinate  amounts  on advertising. They hoard money rather than spend it. They manage their money poorly. They fail to modernise their services. Their accounts are inadequate. The idea that charities will be more efficient than direct public provision  is simply laughable.
UNQUOTE
Mr Henderson is spot on. He mentions the money going to the collectors. More importantly there are bosses paying themselves very handsomely, not mere wages or salaries but remuneration packages with substantial pensions.

 

Gurkhas
They are a good cause and the charity industry is there like flies on the proverbial.

 

Human Rights Watch
Is an NGO, not a charity proper. This means the rules are looser. It is a political front for pushing various single issues which are all designed to destroy civilization using Cultural Genocide and Lenin's Useful Idiots. Pretending to care about human rights was a cover for getting Jews out of the USSR. Complaining bitterly about critics of murder, rape, ethnic cleansing spoils their pretence but they only do this when Jews are the perpetrators.

 

Institute of Fundraising
QUOTE
Whether it be our National Convention or one of our series of one-day conferences there are important events for fundraisers of all levels and all disciplines. Make sure you don't miss out - you can book online today!
UNQUOTE
It costs a mere £175 - if you are a member. Others pay more. But of course the institute is a charity so it does not pay tax. Cost effective? For them it is.

 

Kids and Fraud or was it Dodgy Accounting?
Kids is a charity which lays on play grounds for children. Their accounting has been looked at by the Charity Commission and there are "issues of concern about fundraising in 2005". £42,000 has gone AWOL.  See page 10 of Private Eye 1180

 

Labour Bribes Charities
Brown saw charities as rivals in the hand out game. Blair was cunning enough to see the charity industry as a bunch of apparatchiks open to bribes using tax payers' money.

 

Oxfam
QUOTE
Oxfam’s latest accounts are for the 11 months to March 31, 2010. In the reported income from government they include income from other organisations, such as other members of Oxfam International, so the total here is less than the total in their accounts. The biggest identified government sources include the Department for International Development (DFID):
European Union: £42.5 million
United Nations: £13.4 million
Non-UK governments: £16 million
UK Government (mostly DFID): £11.9 million
Total: £83.8 (26% of all income)
UNQUOTE
Another blood sucker, a special interest paid by government apparatchiks with our money.

 

RSPCA
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals sounds worthy. Perhaps it was once but the day is gone. Now it is political and malicious.

 

RSPB
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds sounds like a decent outfit with a good cause. It does not work quite like that.

 

Scientology
Is a very dodgy operation which has taken lots of people for lots of money.

 

Sierra Club And Bribery
They cared about the environment until a $100 million bung came their way.

 

War On Want
They got leaned on by the Charity Commission because Jews leaned on the Commission. This is routine political corruption.

 

WWF
The World Wildlife Fund for Nature is a boondoggle run as a charity which gives it major tax breaks. It is highly political and moving into the global warming racket where the real money is. Think billions every time.

 

Charity Industry Facing A Downturn [ 1 December 2008 ]
QUOTE
Charities lose faith and hope as funding crisis leaves them with £2.3bn black hole - Squeezed companies and individuals halt donations
Charities are facing a multi-billion pound black hole in their finances as companies withdraw sponsorship and individuals cancel standing orders as the economic downturn bites, according to an authoritative study published today. A survey of 362 charities by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the Institute of Fundraising and the Charity Finance Directors' Group reveals that charity incomes are expected to fall in real terms and costs to rise. PwC estimates that the shortfall could reach £2.3bn next year as the UK heads towards recession.

Not many people will cry if the Royal Opera House drops a few million. They might wonder why big banks give several millions away and how they make them in the first place.

 

Top Rabbi Gets Two Years For Money Laundering Through A Charity [ 23 December 2009 ]
QUOTE
Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Weisz, the Brooklyn-based Grand Rebbe of the Spinka sect, was sentenced to two years in federal prison Monday for a decade-long fraud and money-laundering scheme........... Weisz and six associates in Los Angeles, Brooklyn and Israel admitted to participating in a fraudulent kickback scheme in which donors to Spinka charities were refunded up to 95 percent of their donations, while claiming the full amounts as deductions on their income tax.

In 2006, Spinka charities received nearly $8.5 million in donations and made $744,596 in “profits,” after deducting amounts paid back to contributors. Last year, Moshe Zigelman, the rebbe’s gabbai or assistant, pleaded guilty and also received a two-year prison term. Spinka is an ultra-Orthodox sect that originated in 19th century Romania and has adherents in Israel, Europe and Brooklyn.............

A donor to Spinka charities, who pleaded guilty to using the illegal tax write-off, was sentenced to six months in prison earlier this year. Prosecutors are currently investigating more than 100 other contributors and warned that if they did not come forward voluntarily they might face “significantly higher” sentences.
UNQUOTE
Charities are just business outfits with tax advantages. That is why Jews are so keen on them.

 

Joanna Lumley Keeps Quiet About Crooked Gurkha Charity [ 10 March 2010 ]
QUOTE
A Government minister has launched an astonishing attack on actress Joanna Lumley for her ‘silence’ over a high-profile investigation into a charity for Gurkhas. Defence minister Kevan Jones‘ outburst came amid claims that Gurkhas hoping to live in Britain are being forced to pay up to £500 to veterans' organizations in Nepal which then refer them on to UK solicitors............. In particular, Mr Jones highlighted the alleged relationship between the Gurkha Army Ex-Servicemen's Organization (Gaeso) and Howe and Co, a firm of solicitors which advised the campaign to extend the settlement rights of veterans. 'As I understand how the system works, you go to Gaeso, a voluntary donation is made of about £500 and you then get passed on to Howe and Co,' he said. 'Now, I am not sure what the relationship is between Howe and Co and Gaeso [ Profitable perhaps - Editor ].... ‘It's about credibility and that's where people can't just walk away once the headlines die down because Howe and Co were the solicitors arguing for the campaign, along with Joanna Lumley. Following the hearing, Kieran O'Rourke, a partner with Howe and Co, strongly denied that his firm had been involved in any improper conduct.
UNQUOTE
Howe & Co were in for £500 per punter. With lots of eager Gurkhas wanting in useful profits follow.

 

Charity Industry Costs Too Much [ 28 August 2010 ]
QUOTE
Tens of millions of pounds donated to charities every year by the public through 'chuggers' seldom get further than private fundraising companies, an investigation has revealed. Charities pay huge sums to firms that employ so-called 'charity muggers' who stop people in the street and try to persuade them to donate by direct debit. But the charities often don't see a penny of this donated money because the 'chugging' firm charges are so high. Last year, 750,000 people signed on the dotted line, giving an average contribution of £90 a year. But a BBC investigation has found the charities are often paying the companies, in effect, £100 or more for each signature they collect – meaning in many cases the company is paid more than the charity will raise from that donor in the first year.
UNQUOTE
Charity really is an industry. Charity shops are run on a similar basis. With my good causes there is nobody in the middle taking his cut.

 

Charity Racketeers Spend £5 Million On Themselves. The Poor Get £118 Thousand [ 23 September 2010 ]
QUOTE
SINGER Bono’s Aids charity is under fire for spending more on its staff’s wages than it does on its own cause. According to a report in the US the global charity took in £9.6million in public donations in 2008, the latest year for which US public tax records are available. A meagre £118,000 was split between three charities – while more than £5million was spent on executive and employee salaries................... Mr Buston added that One employs nearly 120 people worldwide and so the £5.1million spent on wages would result in an average salary of about £42,500. Bono’s rock group U2 is one of the highest-earning bands on the planet, with each tour stop bringing in over £6million in gross ticket sales.
UNQUOTE
If Bono cared about charity rather than his own publicity he would give his own money - there is far more of it.

 

Islamic Terrorists Steal Tsunami Charity Money [ 24 April 2011 ]
QUOTE
CHARITABLE donations to help people affected by the Asian tsunami disaster are falling into the hands of radical Islamic groups linked to terrorists in Indonesia, a leading expert on the global al-Qaeda network warned yesterday.

Relief money had become the "primary source" of income for two militant groups, including one founded by a Muslim cleric serving a prison sentence in connection with the Bali bombing in 2002 in which more than 200 people were killed.
Dr Rohan Gunaratna, head of the international centre for political violence and terrorism research at Singapore's Institute for Defence and Strategic Studies, told the Asia-Pacific Financial Crime Conference that the Boxing Day disaster had given "unprecedented opportunities for these groups to expand their areas of influence".......

Terrorism expert Professor David Capitanchik, formerly of Robert Gordon University, told The Scotsman that terrorist groups were known to have set up charities to act as money-laundering operations.
UNQUOTE
It all sounds all too likely. Why steal money when people will give it out of kindness? Tell lies and get rich. Jews know that. Jews do that. More on this one at http://fjordman.blogspot.com/2005/07/extremists-rip-off-tsunami-charity_31.html

 

Lottery Fund Spends Millions On Itself [  [ 25 June 2011 ]
QUOTE
The organization which distributes hundreds of millions of pounds from the National Lottery to good causes spends more than £10 in every £100 raised on itself.

The Big Lottery Fund pays £71 million on running costs and wages for 988 staff [ over £71 thousand each, beats working for a living - Ed. ] in 13 offices around the UK. It has one staff member for every 28 grant applications it receives each year. The Fund has previously been criticized for awarding grants to politically correct causes, at the expense of more mainstream projects.

The Fund, which receives 28,000 requests for grants each year and rejects more than half, once turned down the Samaritans, claiming the group offered too little help for asylum seekers, ethnic minorities and the disadvantaged. But it did fund:
– a pressure group for 'sex workers' which campaigns to legalize prostitution and brothels,
– a Jamaican-born poet who was paid to spend a year on the island in search of inspiration

Easy come, easy go. Corruption? If your face fits you are in. If you are homosexual, black, lesbian, communist, New Labour tax money will flow your way.

 

Charity Industry Stole Billions In Haiti - A Postscript [ 28 January 2012 ]
QUOTE
Haiti and the shaming of the aid zealots: How donated billions have INCREASED poverty and corruption............
Ricardo, 25, a father of three young children, recounts how the earthquake that hit Haiti two years ago ruined his home and wrecked his life. His makeshift tent is one of thousands crammed onto what was once a football pitch...... So had they seen any of the huge sums of aid donated to alleviate such hardship? They shake their heads — just one hygiene kit from the local Red Cross. ‘I have heard about this aid but never seen it,’ says Roseline. ‘I don’t think people like us stood a chance of getting any of it.’.....

The family’s story shames all those international organisations that flocked to Haiti after the earthquake two years ago, which killed an estimated 225,000 people. It was one of the most devastating natural disasters of recent years — and the world responded in sympathy. The international community claimed to have given  £6.5 billion to heal Haiti’s wounds, while donations poured in to charities.

Earlier this month, on the quake’s second anniversary, aid agencies pumped out press releases proclaiming their successes. Add up all the people they claim to have helped and the number exceeds the population of Haiti. The reality is rather different — and shines a stark light on the assumptions, arrogance and deficiencies of the ever-growing global relief industry. As promises were broken, mistakes were made and money was wasted, prices of food and basic supplies for local people soared, sanitation deteriorated, there was less safe water to drink and well-meaning interventions made matters infinitely worse.
UNQUOTE
The money came. The money went. Easy come, easy go. To be fair, the blacks are a large part of the problem too. They sit around waiting for others. It was the same in New Orleans. Blacks were idle, useless when they were not robbing, raping looting. This started two years ago and still they are sitting, waiting.
