Blood Vampires: Why do the 8 top Adminstrators of Red Cross make over $6 million a year?!

We are told - believe me - the Red Cross HAS to sell your blood that your donate - to cover operating costs.

Their "net assets" are almost $2 billion dollars?

I'm reading their IRS 990 form - which means they are supposedly a "non-profit."

Do non-profit administrators - like the Red Cross - really need to "ask" for donations as their job and then pay themselves half a million dollars a year in  income?

You can easily leave off $50,000 a year as a modest lifestyle - and justify "asking" for donations. Right? But ten times that amount?

That's called Profit - nothing less than Profiting from people's blood donations!

That creeps me out. People need blood right? But maybe they should be paid to donate blood as well because very poor people are being asked to donate blood and then the top adminstrators are living as very wealthy individuals - profiting off poor people suffering and the extreme rich as "poor shaming" people if they don't donate their blood.

It's kind of like when Goodwill asks you to donate  by "rounding up" your purchase - even though you just purchased 2nd hand clothes. I'm not gonna donate as a poor person when the CEO of Goodwill is making half a million a year or whatever it is - around that.

Aug 30, 2017 - NPR's questions were follow-ups to several years of reporting by NPR and ProPublica about shortcomings in the organization's disaster relief operations and misleading claims about its finances. NPR has asked several times in recent years to speak with Red Cross President and CEO Gail J. McGovern.

Don't give money to the Red Cross. We need a new way.

Aug 28, 2017 - (The response was “worse than the storm,” one Red Cross driver told ProPublica during its jaw-dropping investigation.) Typically, the organization has had more success responding to small-scale disasters; it's common to hear stories people tell of the blankets and compassion they got from Red Cross ...

Aug 31, 2017 - Reports of the agency's mishandling of relief funds in past disasters has prompted some reluctance to donate money for its Harvey-related efforts. ... millions, but the American Red Cross this week faced a storm of its own with reluctance by some to donate to the charity over questions of how it uses its funds.

 Proper cost analysis includes externalities, in this case Global Dimming being diminished. So unless they factor in the cost of carbon sequestration using renewable energy - which, my understanding, would be a huge undertaking - considering how many equivalent joules of nuclear bombs now go off every day in terms of heat and emissions - then the renewable kool-aid tastes a little like a CIA-Freemason experiment. If the U.S. has to cut taxes for the elite so they can build their billionaire bunkers to hold the billionaire brats - such that those paying into social security and medicaid - can't even get their payback as it's drained by the military-wall-street-FED-welfare system - I don't see why the elite care about ecological sustainability. Yes the military is going "green" - meaning depleted uranium got its name changed to make it "green washing" - and the contractors will soon be paid to put people into concentration camps for "continuity of government." Renewables are just like the Nazis glorifying Nature ecology for the masses while meanwhile getting Wall Street investment money for the latest IBM synthetic fuel - high tech slave labor apocalypse toys.

Thank you Professor Emeritus Braude. I have been corresponding with a Jazz Blues musician-professor who wrote a fascinating Ph.D. thesis in 2017 on Blues music - I cite it in the post link I sent on my article. Although the glacial melt is way low and so the water crisis looms large for your area - abrupt global warming is way worse since East Siberian Arctic Shelf has millions of years of methane about to burst out - as Dr. Natalia Shakhova has reported - she did the research there out of Alaska University. Good luck but maybe move into the Bush-Nazi compound in Paraguay where there's lots of water. I gotta go shovel snow off the roof here in Minnesota. haha. But I don't plan on humans surviving global warming much past 10 years if not five. http://arctic-news.blogspot.com has the details. But I have even corresponded with other "top" scientists who admit they are not "experts" on "abrupt methane emissions" even though they dismiss it as "sensationalism" and their career job is monitoring the arctic. Amazing! Still as Naomi Oreskes details - it took decades for the U.S. to accept the empirical data on plate tectonics - aka "continental drift." So it's not too surprising that no news has covered Dr. Shakhova - except an interview by someone posting on youtube or his own website: Nick Breeze.

Thanks again - I bought a water filter - so if I can get to my land up north - at least I'll have a water supply. Here we are dependent on an electric pump to get the water but do live close to a river.
