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.

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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.
UNQUOTE
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 people wanting in useful profits follow.

 

Jew Stole Millions From The Blind [ 26 August 2010 ]
QUOTE
A Tel Aviv court charged a non-profit manager with stealing millions of shekels from the organization he worked for over twenty years, which raised money to help blind children. Moshe Reipes worked as the manager for the Karen Or non-profit organization from 1986 until 2006. The organization provides support for children who are blind as well as for children with other disabilities. They are financed by donations from abroad as well as money from the Welfare Ministry.

According to the indictment sheet, Reipes stole close to four million shekels during his time as manager of the non-profit. He allegedly wrote checks to different organizations that supposedly provided services to Karen Or. He would then cash the checks and take the money.  He also allegedly cashed checks written to Karen Or workers, who were unaware of what was happening. In order to hide his trail, Reipes allegedly created a non-existent non-profit. Reipes is indicted for several criminal offences, including stealing and fraud, registering a fake corporation, and breach of trust.
UNQUOTE
To be fair it is only about a million in honest money. Of course it is tax free which makes it very cost effective.

 

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.
