IF, I am going to donate any funds towards a disaster or human calamity I always donate through a charity I trust. Aside from not trusting the Red Cross I also would absolutely NEVER trust the Hollywood bimbos raising money through a live concert. Why? Because they are self righteous idiots who believe in the wrong charity groups (mainly non-religious charities or NGO’s).

Here’s a prime example from the TimesOnline (via Free Republic):

Live Aid donations ‘were diverted to arm Ethiopian rebels’

Aregawi Berhe, the former military commander of the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), claimed that of the $100 million that went through the rebels’ hands, 95 per cent was diverted to buy weapons or recruit Ethiopians to their cause. He said the rebels put on a “drama” to get their hands on the relief money. “The aid workers were fooled,” he said.

Oh and btw, the United Nations is the last group of corruptocrats I would trust along with USAID. They accomplish nothing but fattening up their own pockets.

Ethiopia famine, Bob Geldof, Live Aid, NGOs
