Over 2300 dead in Turkey

[Leonardo17]

Shame is a foreign experience to nutballs who turn their strong and genuine conviction that god is on their side into cold hard cash.  Works the same way here.  The religious have been getting fleeced for years to pay in to causes that were never even intended to pay out.  Every single time we get hit with a natural distatser every prosperity gospel preacher and theocrat with a microphone or a camera starts some "fundraising drive" for the downtrodden christians of wherever.   There are still grifts running from storms years ago.  Here we have the red cross, but the red cross is as much of a shitshow as the red crescent and enjoys a similar mismatch between reality and perception - and they're "one of the good ones".  It just gets worse from there.  Not, I think, that I have to tell you that.  You're likely familiar with the phenomena.

I am sure you must be right. But the man privatized the Red Crescent which is an institution that dates back to 1860. On the fourth day of the quake (8th of February) the institution formally became a “company” and started selling tents + food + blood (which were donated to the Turkish Red Crescent by us) in return for money.
 
 This scandal came to surface yesterday when a civil society group declared having bought those tents from the Red-Crescent itself. In the third week of the disaster we have learned that the Red-Cross (even as a private company) is still a government institution. So it can donate those tents to the people who are still without shelter and it doesn’t.
 
   But whatever. This scandal happened yesterday. On Friday The One whose Wife is Never Seen without her Headscarf On called !!!@*+?!! All those who were spreading the fake-news that people were still sitting in the streets without tents, food, toilets, medical help etc. etc. ( he really did).




 
    Well let’s turn to Ruby the Wise Parrot who has some comments on that:
