Misusing of aid for political aims and for money laundering
As we all heard in news, newest case of mass death is happening in Somalia. Western news agencies use any chance to speak against Muslims there and west world give help only to the people in Mogadishu where is pro-western president. Well, long time ago, I thought it is shit of Milosevic when he spoke that foreign observers and charities are spies but in the meantime I understood they are really spies. I am already 5 years in West Europe and I can see how much is strong their fascism (especially in health care system) and how many people kiss in ass government. They have behavior like in the time of cold war just now they don’t spy immigrants on the basis of ideology than on the basis of nationality, color of skin and religion. Even cold war is finished but control of society by government is not stopped, it is widespread. For example, Swedish are first of all Swedish, after that they are Amnesty International, it means their Amnesty will publish what is bad in China but they will not publish what is bad in Sweden. They work like rats for their Swedish government about spying of refugees and asylum seekers. And churches are the same, they are mixed in work with immigrants and they gather information for political police. Ana from Sweden, woman who setup Assange from Wikileaks for raping, she went to Palestine with some church. She will get good money and travel all over the world. Believe it or not, churches and even doctors without borders, all of them gather information for their western governments. They do it in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere. If it is true that Al Shabab kicked out western charities from Somalia, they have reason for that. It has recently emerged that the CIA set up a vaccination campaign in Pakistan as part of a covert operation to monitor Osama Bin Laden’s compound there and obtain a DNA sample from one of his relatives. Therefore I am not surprised that in recent years, an average of 95 aid workers have been killed each year, and another 57 kidnapped. In Kosovo happened similar thing, CARE Canada signed an agreement with the Canadian Government to effectively spy on Serbian forces for NATO. Local population in many countries don’t believe to humanitarian workers because they come together with imperialist solders who killed people. Aid workers and military are working together. The European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany are the largest bilateral donors of Ethiopia, here you can read HRW report: How Aid Underwrites Repression in Ethiopia. Shortly, this country get about 3 billions $ aid yearly and government use aid as a tool to consolidate the power of the ruling party. I have bad opinion about international aid longer time but I started to think about it again when I saw movie The Burma Conspiracy (2011) and when I saw news that UNICEF Executive Director is former national security adviser in the Clinton White House and failed nominee to head of CIA: Anthony Lake. Before 2 years I saw that owner of Oracle, Larry Ellison has his own charity which make investment to produce profit. When they give money to charity they pay less taxes, and it could be logical that someone want his own charity to control who get help and how money is spent, but it is about making of profit through charity. They can setup who will get money from this charity and again nobody get help, just money is turned and finish again in hands of owner. Charity is just public mask for secret finances. Remember how many billions are spent for help to Haiti, let’s go to Haiti to check what’s happened, you will see that people are in the same shit as before and money is stolen. Now again, we should believe that money will go to the people in Somalia if we give money to charities. I believe one part of money will really be spent for food for people in Mogadishu but all other will be excluded and they will make propaganda against Muslims. They can use airplanes to give them food if they really want it, but they don’t care, they just misuse aid for politics. Aid is created as a tool for dirty doings in the Third World by the western powers. As ordinary people we should give money only to grass roots aid, some activists who can travel to Somalia should make bank account and organize help independent from any government/church/charity. Payment with digital currency (PayPal/Moneybookers/Bitcoin) is very good also and SMS payment because not all people have bank account. Food and water should be bought in neighbor country and given to Somalians, there is much cheaper than to bring food from EU companies. Grass root aid would reduce cost of Red Cross and other big bureaucratic organizations who spend millions for their internal operational costs. Although I found link at Infoshop for grassroots help to Haiti, I don’t see there any real grassroots group than organizations like doctors without borders and some international grassroots organization which is totally bureaucratic and they are advocating for social change; one more bullshit. Did you know that Oxfam pay their western workers 30 000 Pounds to go to Africa to speak to the people that they should wash hands? Oxfam has yearly budget for advertising 1,5 million pounds, crowd of researchers and analyst and other bureaucratic jobs and all of them get UK level of salaries. Just give that money to the people in Africa and they will not need help anymore. Somalia need water pipeline (water plant and pipeline in Libya was bombed by NATO) to be able to bring water from the sea, it is totally crazy that Somalia has sea and people die from thirst. They just need desalination plant and pipeline to bring water everywhere. Example is Australian Perth Seawater Desalination Plant which produce 140 million liters water daily. The total project cost was AUS$387m (285 700 000 EUR), with annual running costs of under $20m, electricity for the plant is generated by the 80 MW Emu Downs Wind Farm (48 Vestas wind turbines cost $180m (each with 1.65 MW generating capacity) – but the wind farm contributes 270 GWh/year into the general power grid, offsetting the 180 GWh/year requirement from the desalination plant). So, we will see how much money from international aid will be spent although all that money could be used earlier or later to build desalination plant and pipeline. When people have water they can produce and vegetable, water plant solve problem about food too.
