Tscamnami: Don't give money for disaster relief abroad

Do not give money to any aid organization for "tsunami relief". Looks like it ends up feeding and arming tyrants. Oh, and oppressing the workers:

Excerpt:
"There's been a tremendous outpouring from the public; all over the world people are giving donations," Nairn continued. "But most of these donations are being channeled through the U.N.agencies or through the big mainstream charities. There's a major problem. Those agencies and charities all have contracts with the Indonesian government, contracts which oblige them to either channel funds through the government or work in concert with the government, which means that government officials and army officers can steal the aid, and there are already indications that this is happening. And even that aid which is not stolen may be used in a way to consolidate military control over the population."

Exception: When France, Germany, Russia, China, or "old Europe" ever experience any significant man-made or natural disaster, I sincerely hope the UN is put fully in charge of administering aid:
