Are The BBC Also saying the Red Cross Covered UP ?

Question

wow what's the World come to when not even the word of the Red Cross is believed.

I thought the Red Cross was known for its good works

Not its cover ups.

Answer 1

At the local scene Red Cross can help but up top and on the international scene they are as crooked as the next guy.  They will do what they have to to get money

Answer 2

I have not seen the broadcast but i did find this little t*t bit

But the biggest criminal scandal inside the Red Cross surfaced in New Jersey last year. And though it's been kept off the front pages, it ranks among the biggest charity frauds ever.

At the center of the scandal is Joseph Lecowitch, chief executive of the Hudson County Chapter, and his bookkeeper Catalina Escoto.

Escoto allegedly gave herself at least $75,000 in bonuses. All told, prosecutors say the duo stole well over $1 million in Red Cross funds, squandering it on gambling and each other. Escoto pleaded not guilty. Lecowitch died after he was indicted

The Red Cross has been caught engaging in rampant corruption on an all too regular basis.

3,000 people died after thousands of Canadians were infected with HIV and hepatitis C from tainted blood supplies.The Canadian Red Cross pleaded guilty to the charges earlier this year after they had been directly caught knowlingly shipping out the infected blood.

Smaller charities that were involved with the 2004 Tsunami relief project went public to say that large charities like Red Cross and United Way were engaged in secret backroom negotiations with each other that meant a large portion of the donation money was purposefully restricted from reaching the most needy areas affected by the disaster.

The history is clear, the Red Cross and other large so-called charities are in actual fact front group collection agencies for the military industrial complex.

Answer 3

I don't believe the BBC.

However, the Red Cross is a now also political organisation which has to work with both good and bad governments. It's actions or inactions reflect what is best for the Red Cross, not necessarily the best for those that need its help.
