Are you done with your conspiracy theories yet?


Castrate yourself please. The Gov is pushing the birth of babies because it generates more revenues for the hospitals...which in turn feed the money back to the goverment through this super secret thing called...taxes (please dont tell anyone i told you). You need to run..dont walk...and castrate yourself as soon as possible.

The truth is out there...it just takes a nutjob to believe it!



Well what do you do when a lot of the theories make more sense then what you hear on mainstream. Just beleive everything you hear on tv buddy and you will be ok

I don't watch tv. Whats your next comeback? All you have is that i'm brainwashed by the media. Why can't I have my own mind?

Do I REALLY want to visit a website that says...


"Hurricane Katrina is clear evidence that civilization is now in the "End Times" described in the Bible."

Not me...but feel free to keep investing in Aluminum Foil and concocting this sh1t...it's worth the laugh.

Here's a beer to you and Tom Cruise. Cheers mate.

I just wish the book that the military gave us was available to everybody. For a organization to be listed in there, they had to list what percentage actually went to those who you were sending it for and what was going towards "administrative" fees..

I was surprised by some of the percentages that I saw.

I would only send money to organizations that were under 10%.

You can find that info at give.org. The most recent annual report for the American Red Cross showed 91.1% of their revenues went to programs, 5.4% for administrative costs, and 3.5% for fundraising.

you believe everything you read on crazy people's websites.

what's worse? mainstream media, where there is a general consensus of truth although occasionally wrong, or some conspiracy theorist's website where the truth is merely theorized and manipulated?

Instead of flaming why don't you post something usefull. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and if you can't respect that then maybe you deserve everything that will come to you.

I'm not talking specifically about that. All non-profit agencies keep a portion of the money submitted. My wife has worked for a large non-profit for over 5 years. It's part of keeping the machine running.

The problem is if you go read the other post this guy has posted..it's amusing and you'll see the trend.

1. You posted this in the wrong forums. Take it to P&N

2. Because I don't BROADCAST my opinion to everyone on the forums about this crap.

3. I'm allowed to flame if you feel the need to broadcast. Take it like a man and gear up for the end of the world. Ok?

4. Me and my "sh1thole" country will see to it to take our constitutional right to free speach and tell you to go fvck yourself. How about that?

Kudos to the Red Cross for only giving out $154 of the $564 million collected after 911. There was no reason to give out more than that. It's not like there was tons of homeless people running around without food after the tragedy in NYC. In fact, the hospitals were rather quiet because the majority of 911 victims ended up dead and nothing could be done for them to begin with. And I certainly don't agree with giving any more money to the families of victims of 911. Various organizations already turned these peope into multi-millionaires. They don't need a dime more, thus Red Cross can hold on to the money for more serious tragedies where the need is much greater.

Remember your local charities still need money to help people in your own state.

Whenever a disaster like this hits, many people donate as much as they can to Red Cross and they end up with more money than they can use, while people stop supporting local charities because they are broke.

The radio station I listen to collected over $60,000 in donations today, so I'll be sending a check off to Northwest Harvest (Washington state food bank supplier) instead.

As someone else stated, it costs money to then ship that food and water to the affected areas. Also it becomes a logistical nightmare to try to organize all those resources down to the areas where it is needed, to the point where it's not worth it in many cases (not all).

I also hope you people don't agree with the OP's rediculous, unsubstantiated conspiracy theory. The Red Cross and other non profit's are often the most impactful aid organizations in the world. They are a major source of relief to people all over the world in times of need. Any charitable organization, especially one as large and diverse as the Red Cross need money to function and organize efforts. Without our donations to them, you'd undeniably see alot more suffering and death due to lack of resources.

Really... even if the numbers weren't proven as they were already, if this was true it wouldn't be on prisonplanet.com, it would be on CNN, MSNBC, BBC, etc. and not some bullsh!t consipiracy site.

I'm not sure if this is the one I've used before, but, give.org has a listing of MANY charities and the financials behind them. For example, the American Red Cross is listed there. As described above, the breakdowns of the funds allocation:

Programs: 91% Fund Raising: 3% Administrative: 5%

Perhaps it's smoke and mirrors, but, that's one site. The Redcross.org site has their financial statements on it, the 9/11 fund info seems to be here

There's also the independent auditors records. Do your own research.
