About 30 years ago, I befriended an old woman who told me vivid stories about life in America during WW2. She said the Red Cross would set up stations where the soldiers were shipping out and have tables full of sandwiches and coffee. They CHARGED the soldiers for this spread, even though most of that had been donated. She HATED the Red Cross and would never give them BLOOD. Now I understand why.
Dear Readers: I was asked to rerun a column that appeared in 1976 explaining why the American Red Cross charged the GIs for coffee and doughnuts during World War II while the Salvation Army provided it free.
A staggering number of readers had plenty to say about the rerun. Read on:
Dear Ann Landers: In August, 1943, while returning from a furlough to Parris Island, S.C., a U.S. Marine base, I stopped at the American Red Cross servicemans canteen in August, Ga. At that time you could buy the best ham sandwich in town for 15 cents. A Coke was a nickel. I ate the sandwich and drank the Coke right at the counter. The tab was 30 cents. I couldnt believe that this so-called service organization would gouge us like that.
C.F.C. (USMC Indianapolis)
Rochester, N.Y.: Don`t tell me about the American Red Cross. It happened 45 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday. My crew and I flew from Oahu (Hawaii) to the mainland in a B-17. When we arrived at 5 a.m., dead tired, we cheered when we saw a Red Cross booth serving coffee and doughnuts. When we asked for a cup of coffee we were told, ''We only serve officers.''
Ralph E.D.
Laredo, Tex.: In 1943, I donated three pints of blood to be given to our boys overseas. In 1944, I joined the Navy. As a WAVE yeoman I discovered that the blood was administered to the wounded at $25 a pint which was deducted from their pay.
B.T.
Brooksville, Fla.: Can a 70-year-old veteran tell you about his experience? We were in the Belgium Bulge and having a rough time. What a tired, hungry, ragtag bunch of guys we were! Then lo and behold, we spotted a Red Cross tent serving coffee and fried cakes. Our chaplain gave us first the good news, then the bad news. We would be given time to get in line for a cup of hot coffee and a cruller. But wed have to pay for them. The price was one guilder, equivalent to 38 cents. Many of the GIs, having been in the field, didnt carry cash or they had none. Fortunately, the officers chipped in and we scraped together enough money so that no one went without. From that day on I had nothing good to say about the Red Cross.
Larry S.W.
Houston: Why did you rerun that column about the Red Cross? Once was enough. When things go wrong it`s always convenient to blame the British.
L.F.D.
Racine, Wis.: What a shock for us GIs to pay 20 cents for a pack of cigarettes and find a slip inside that said, ''Donated by Chesterfield.'' The same for Hershey`s chocolate. We really felt ripped off.
S.L.
Stamford, Conn.: A buddy of mine was in a California hospital. He hadn`t been home in more than two years. The guy went to the Red Cross for a loan. They said ''OK.'' The day before he was to leave they said, ''Loan refused. Too many missing papers.'' The story has a happy ending. The patients on his ward chipped in and he left for New York on schedule.
B.R.L.
If anyone at the American Red Cross Headquarters would like equal time to explain why I have received thousands of letters like the ones you have just read, I would be happy to hear from him.
I find it funny that I used to get called "asshole" for refusing to donate to the Red Cross when I asked where the money went. Long before this all started they sent up red flags to anyone who can do some basic math.
Red Cross is a child human trafficking ring. I will never donate to those Nigger lovers! They help breed niggers in africa then transport them all around the world to rape & kill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3vL_0XtiVY
And PLEASE DO NOT GIVE BLOOD. Apparently blood donations do not all go to the injured who require them. Rather, they are consumed by the blood-thirsty cabal members, literally.
I only donate to charities that I will know where the money is going, like https://www.donorschoose.org/ most of the classes listed are ghetto ass shit, but you can pick stuff out in white rural areas and donate directly to a class room.
Everything is a damn lie and I'm sick of it. I give to a local animal rescue because I know the lady uses donations to help animals. A charity that actually does what it says it does. Shocking, I know.
They are literally nuts. The way they do it now involves crazy autodialers that call years you incessantly from strange unidentified numbers. Never EVER give your phone number, Ack!
Have you read the tweet? Looks more like a link to an article with advice on what to do to keep your pets safe in an emergency evacuation. Nowhere in that tweet by Red Cross have they requested donations?
PAID SOME ADMINISTRATORS 1 million dollars a YEAR, also stole 98% of the 911 fund money, and also after 911 DESTROYED 90% of the donated blood rather than sell it or store it.
President and CEO of the American Red Cross (since 2008) is Gail J. McGovern, whose total yearly compensation for 2010 was about $1,037,000
1 MILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL SALARIES (with bonus structures)!
Also greed killed 911 firemen who had no respirators for asbestos due to red cross stealing them all! the American Red Cross direct responsibility for 4,500 NYC first responders becoming injured at 911.
The President of 3 M Corporation told doug, personally, that 3M Corp donated $750,000 respirators to the American Red Cross for distribution to first responders. The ARC kept these 'life saving respirators' in their wharehouses, for later sale
I wish those hackers that rammed those ships together would take the Red Cross ship and run her aground in Haiti, they'd strip that sucker clean in no time.
It never goes to help the people you are donating for and more than likely goes to pay the multi-million dollar salaries of their two-faced administrators.
And they'll take take TAKE your blood as much as you'll let em. I used to donate regularly & found out years later I had severe anemia. They supposedly test for this pre-donation, but it clearly isn't testing accurately in terms of your long term iron content.
Always necessary to look at the big picture. Because POTUS is POTUS, there will always be things done because of the Office--saying nice things to (and about) tyrants, working with iffy heads of orgs (NRA), sounding interested in bad laws (red flag laws), etc. Just as Q says things that are disinfo sometimes, so does POTUS. Truth is never as literal as we expect it to be. Often, things are said short-term to accomplish some long-term objective. And, no--I'm not rationalizing. Without discernment, this strategy can become an "ends justifies the means" approach. But not necessarily. It can also be an example of speaking to an audience on a level that can understand (encouraging people to give to the Red Cross during an emergency) and not trying to fight two battles at once. It could also be that encouraging people to give to the RC will help expose them. Let the RC think everything is fine and watch what they do.
Red Cross/Red Crescent is engaged in money laundering for Child Trafficking, Drug Smuggling, International Terrorism, and Human Sacrifice all over the globe. We should be firebombing their HQ.
Shipping ports used by Red Cross to deliver supplies, they're supposedly shipping trafficked children. They avoid inspection because of their humanitarian status. Also photographed by a crew member not long ago, huge metal containers on outbound Red Cross ship carrying millions of dollars, writing on top was in arabic.
I worked for Red Cross and the Saudi Royals routinely showed up to inspect work we had done and building built before stiffing the contractors in the end.
Alas I don't have the links to the videos at my disposal, but Q mentioned the Red Cross in several posts (CTRL-F "RED RED" for Q-specific text, or "red-cross" for news articles). The message: The Red Cross is also used by the Cabal for money trafficking. In other words: The Red Cross is a compromised NGO.
Some weeks ago in this sub or in QRV one of the videos about boxes full of dollars.
One charity I've found that isn't like that is called feed my starving children. I've volunteered with them before, something like 99% of the money donated goes directly towards buying food, and they're almost entirely run by volunteer labor. It's pretty awesome.
It’s kids around the world - the criteria is they have to meet a threashild of below poverty. They are bringing Jesus to the kids so I call it a win, especially with the spiritual war raging around us.
They have been calling me non-stop for a while now. I used to donate all the time but lately I don't know what to do. Do you have any direct knowledge that they use the blood for other than good purposes?
