Do You Donate To These Charities That Run Ads On TVs In The Evening Showing Suffering Children or Suffering Animals That Need Help?

Cause there is a very detailed article on a website called The Burning Platform about “Big Charity Scams” where that money goes. To executive salaries and huge amounts to employees. These charities are setting on billions of dollars of assets and still begging money off of kind-hearted people who are buying into it. It’s sickening and I already knew they were scams. When they use the word suffering they draw it out to get our sympathy.

I don't think there's any point in donating to never ending sinkholes.
We know Cancer is horrible no matter who has it.
Do we really need 5000 different charities for the same cause ?
Why ?

Personally i favour raising money for short-term goals.
Ok you won't cure 'Jimmy' of his problems but if all the poor kid wants is a trip to Disney world THAT'S an achievable figure and folk are more likely to donate to see an achievable aim quickly realised

@Picklebobble2 Yeah they’ll never reveal the cure if they are getting rich with these charities. My sister was a nurse on a cancer ward for about 15 year and she said the same thing and also the medical establishment doesn’t want a quick & cheap cure either because too many people would be out of business. Well I say Jolly Good because that day will come soon.

@cherokeepatti Oh drug companies are probably the one business that ought to be nationalised !
Owned by government for the benefit of it's people.
That way you don't get this stupid situation where a drug company comes up with a new 'wonder drug' for a section of sufferers only to find insurance companies won't pay for it because it's not 'cost-effective'.

@Picklebobble2 My father got prostate cancer, was diagnosed at the VA Hospital. They were planning on doing surgery. This was about 30 years ago. He told the oncologist that he had business to take care of before he did his surgery and needed to wait a month. Then he packed up and drove to Arizona and knew a Medicine woman there. She cured his cancer with some type of herbs, I don’t know what kind and he didn’t say. But he drove back within 2 weeks of leaving and when he went to get his pre-op scans done they couldn’t find the cancer. She healed him and didn’t charge a penny for it either. I knew a man who was my aunt’s brother-in-law. He had a large kidney cancer. They were planning on removing his kidney. He told them he had business to take care of. Had heard of an old doctor in northern Arkansas that could cure cancer quickly. He and his wife packed up the camper on the back of the truck with a mattress, an ice chest with food etc. and changes of clothes and drove from Oklahoma to Arkansas. They found the doctor’s clinic, it was a walk-in clinic and they had to sign in and wait. The waiting room was full. Anyway the doctor gave him an injection of something and told him to come back for 2 more injections the following days and he did. (Slept in their simple pop-on camper etc.) and he got the injections. Total cost was $15 per office visit including the injection for a grand total of $45. This was back in the early 80’s. Drove back home and got his pre-op scan done. The oncologist came back and sat down scratching his head and told him the tumor was completely gone. The man sat there grinning and the doctor asked “What did you do?” He told him and was asked the name of that doctor. He called him and asked what he gave him to kill the cancer. That doctor said “I am not telling you. If I told the medical establishment will take it and research it at least 7 years and then charge a fortune for each injection. I will treat as many people as I can before I die and do it cheaply”. And that old doctor died a few years later. I don’t know how m many thousands he cured but the people in the waiting room said it was always packed with people from the time it opened till it closed every single day. My father’s father died from prostate cancer quickly and his mother died in agony after treatment for breast cancer.

@Picklebobble2 The Tavistock Institute is behind some of the new diagnosis of medical conditions that didn’t exist before. Stupid things like a cure for shyness involving an anti-depressant. Working along side with Big Pharm it seems. And also a form of mind control to get people drugged up that way.

@cherokeepatti the more 'suggestive' people are the more compliant they are.

Youd think most people would have wised-up to that stuff by now wouldn't you ?

@Picklebobble2 I did an experiment with surveys about grocery spending etc. that used to be inserted in Sunday newspaper inserts more than 25 years ago. One of those surveys asked about purchases but also asked if I was shy. I marked it yes. And I deliberately misspelled my name a different way every time on each survey I filled out. I wanted to see what kind of junk mail offers I would be getting in the mail. I got one medical research study offer about using a drug to correct shyness and my name was misspelled. Later found out they were using an anti-depressant testing it on the participants in the study that were shy. I think it was Paxil but not 100% sure since this was around 25-30 years ago. Anyway I read later that Tavistock Institute based in the UK was behind this thing of creating new “medical conditions” that were being used to promote more prescription drug use. I still get mail every once in a great while with my misspelled names on it. One was from a pharmacy that was selling cigars & accessories around the holidays. I had answered that survey and told them I was a Chinese professor who drank whiskey and smoked cigars. I deliberately made up stuff on those surveys, and they were sending these mailings 25 years later with that name. My address must have gotten forwarded as well because I moved two times after doing these survey.

@cherokeepatti ooh that's interesting !!
I know that when drug companies trial drugs its often the most common side effects that ultimately determine what that drug is ultimately used for.

A classic example of this is Pfizer's Viagra.
Originally trialled as a heart medication ends up being a treatment for something completely different !

Interesting.

@Picklebobble2 I believe that they want society drugged up and their emotions blunted. Makes it easier to take over a nation. Also research in the UK has shown that many of these psych drugs and also over-the-counter allergy meds can blunt empathy in people who are taking them.
