There is something far wrong and deeply sinister with how the Grenfell Tower fire happened and how the survivors have been treated ever since.
At a meeting between public officials and survivors, the "officials" attempted to stop survivors recording events.
The recording of the meeting reveals Grenfell Tower fire survivors are not getting the money being donated to help them.
Red Cross stand accused of blocking victims receiving practical aid delivered for survivors and taking it for themselves and selling it on.
Traumatised survivors have no access to counselling or social services assistance - with cold hearted officials expecting survivors to fill out forms they are in no mental state to complete.
Survivors living in hotels with only a breakfast provided are being woken up in the middle of the night - with tones of Nazi Germany - told pack up and come with us now !
With the DWP also sending letters indicating survivors must declare any donations they actually get as it will affect their housing benefit.
Then last night I listened to a recording of a phone conversation where a Red Cross spokesperson confirmed they will no longer be giving Grenfell Tower fire survivors any further assistance from what's left of the £19 million collected to date, with the Guardian reporting on this too.
In the call the Red Cross spokesperson confirmed they are giving the money to the "London Emergencies Trust" (LET) instead and despite repeated attempts to ask them to explain why victims would receive no more assistance the Red Cross spokesperson refused to answer and hung up.
Yet the London Emergencies Trust website claims it is the Red Cross who distributes the money to victims for them.
So with Red Cross confirming victims will likely not see any more of the donations this is why survivors are asking where is all the money going?
London Emergencies Trust
The London Emergencies Trust (LET) was set up as a "dormant" company in December 2015, registered at the same address as the City of London's "London Funders" charity.
London Funders was made the "secretary" of this dormant company - just waiting on terror attacks or disasters in London to happen - for the money to start rolling in.
So who controls The London Emergencies Trust, set up to collect all public donations for all terror attacks and disasters, like Grenfell Fire disaster, in London?
The Chairman of the Trust is Gerald Oppenheim - his LinkedIn profile reveals he runs his own consultancy on how to operate funds like this that are meant to give grants - having made a career of it for himself - on a London council, BBC charity appeals board, on Big Lottery grant body and many many more "grant giving" bodies.
So who regulates his London Emergencies Trust board, that is hoarding the money meant for the Grenfell Tower disaster survivors?
Especially as the Civil Society website reveals how this and other UK charity boards are hoarding over £105 billion for themselves to manage rather than paying money to help victims of disaster and the most disadvantaged people in Britain the public donations are meant for.
"According to the latest Civil Society Almanac produced by NCVO, there are 162,965 voluntary organisations in the UK, with a total income of £43.8bn and total spending of £41.7bn. The biggest chunk of income comes from individuals - £19.4bn – while the government provides £15bn of the sector’s funding. Spending on charitable activities, excluding grants, totalled £30.1bn, with spending on grants £5.3bn. The sector spent £5.4bn to generate income and just under £1bn on governance. The sector has net assets of £105.1bn. Charities employ 827,000 people and at least 14 million people volunteer once a month or more. Nearly two-thirds of employees are full-time and 38 per cent are part-time; 66 per cent are female and 34 per cent male. Universities, quangos, housing associations and independent schools are also registered charities but aren’t really part of the loose and baggy monster that is the voluntary sector."
Who is "regulating" this UK multi £billion "charity" sector?
Fundraising Regulator ?
Oppenheim, the chair of the London Emergencies Fund was appointed to be he "Head of Policy and Communications" of the new government "Fundraising Regulator", set up in 2015, to help people like him and the "charities" they control regulate themselves.
The new "Fundraising Regulator" website states
"The Fundraising Regulator is the independent regulator of charitable fundraising. We were established following the cross-party review of fundraising self-regulation (2015) to strengthen the system of charity regulation and restore public trust in fundraising."
The Chief Executive is Stephen Dunmore whose biography list so many charities he is/has been involved with - many again associated with the Windsor Royal family!
"Stephen has been Interim Chief Executive of the Responsible Gambling Fund, The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, the Lumos Foundation, the National Consumer Council and the Family and Childcare Trust. He was Chair of Capacitybuilders, National Family Mediation and the BBC’s Awards Advisory Committee; and served as a member of the Office of the Third Sector’s Advisory Body.Stephen is a trustee of The Prince’s Countryside Fund and a Council Member of the Society of Antiquaries."
Dunmore and Oppenheim are joined by Daisy Houghton, "Charity Commission Secondee" all three controlled or worked at the Big Lottery Fund.
The last two members of the "FR Team" worked for the "Public Fundraising Association" - which made a huge loss in the last year of it's existence while employees were being paid up to £80k a year salary.
So who is the 10 member board of the new "fundraising regulator" (that read's like a Who's Who - who employ the team above)?
Lord Grade (of BBC and ITV fame) is the chairman of the board - the same man who was in charge of ITV when they were fined £70 million in 2007 for scamming British people out millions of pounds - a firm favourite regularly chosen to control corporations and public organisations for the Queen's UK privy council.
With the Queen's UK Privy Council ensuring they have one of their members for life on their pretend "Fundraising Regulator" - as so many seem to be now - with the UK Privy Council members converting regulation across as many sectors as they can as fast as possible.
Michael Smyth is one of the 10 member "regulator" board - he is the Queen's man on the board after he was appointed to the Queen's UK privy Council for Life in 2014 - swearing to keep all 650 members state secrets together - a lawyer the Queen also gave a CBE in 2009 for other services already rendered.
Details of all ten board members of this so called new "Fundraising Regulator" can be seen on their website - where members include others closely related to the government and another from the Institute of Fundraising like the two members of their "team".
So we have Gerald Oppenheim on the board of the London Emergencies Trust and also part of the team meant to regulate all fundraising for the government - taking "self regulation" to a whole new level.
As the UK now has a totally self regulated charity sector in the UK which owns over £105 billion of assets - with the British Establishment and Royalty Big Society able to ensure they control the boardrooms of these charities together for their benefit.
How many michelin star breakfast lunch and dinners do they charge as "expenses" and how many board members get paid for the "governance" of these now self regulating fundraising "charities".
Where only £5.3 billion of the annual £43.8 billion going as grants to those in need while they spend £1 billion on their own "governance".
That's before they start to cash in on all these wonderful disasters climate change, their lack of regulation and corrupt laws and control together will ensure keeps the money rolling in - for them.
City of London - how to make even more money from Disasters report.
Not content with what they have already scammed from the public when disaster strikes, a report was commissioned by London "City Bridge Trust", which is controlled by the City of London, - a report to evaluate how to maximise the benefits of disaster relief funds - but for whom?
In 2015 the report
The report studied the 9/11, the 2005 London Bombings and Hurricane Katrina public disaster relief funds - how they operated - and how to improve how they operated.
In the "changing standards of accountability section" of the report it said of the 2005 London Bombings Relief Fund which gathered all the public donations for the victims
"‘Trustees and staff were very informally selected. There was , no ads etc. Could you do that today without a lot of questions being asked?’."
It seems so as this report to figure out how to improve the benefits (for whom?) of disaster relief funds gives an acknowledgement on the first page to the very same Gerald Oppenheim who controlled this disaster relief fund public donations for the London Bombings - who also now controls the entire London Emergencies Trust and is on the so called government Fundraising Regulator team.
The Guardian labelled Oppenheim controlled London Bombings Relief Fund as a villain - with Oppenheim responding with a letter trying to defend how they were operating the fund with the victims again not receiving the money public donors expected them to get by Oppenheim's control of the "charity".
The report commissioned by the City of London lavishes praise on the London Bombings Relief fund - stating there was only ONE newspaper report criticising the fund.
But the report also reveals the relief fund was happy for the London Standard newspaper to claim it was their fund - the London Standard constantly giving glowing reports for the fund as a result as the report reveals
""On the whole LBRCF enjoyed very good relationships with the media"..."occasionally we had to remind them it was the Mayor’s’ but in general if Standard wanted to ‘own’ the campaign then the Fund was happy with that‘."
with lessons learned being the London Bombing's Relief Fund (and Oppenheimer) were
"fortunate in the support it received from the Greater London Authority, City Bridge Trust and the Evening Standard, among others"
Yet it was nothing to do with the London Standard - it was Ken Livingstone and the Queen's Red Cross (once again) who jumped in to set up the fund to hoover in the money meant for victims - reported as "Philanthropy on a different level" with this 2014 report regarding the London Bombing Relief Fund stating
"The Fund saw the advent of philanthropy on a wholly new level. Never in the UK had there been a disaster fund on this scale, with no blueprint of how it should operate. Literally tens of thousands of people, from home and abroad, who had no direct connection with the events of that day were drawn to make a donation. We never advertised, never solicited and benefited only from the publicity generated by others."
With the report revealing the wonderful benefits social media can bring to hoover in even more money in the future when disaster strikes - while social media could also be used as a good PR tool for them.
And how did the London Bombings Relief Fund manage the public donations? The report reveals
The Queen's "Red Cross also provided systems for collecting and banking donations with the report quoting in different sections
"There were other on-going complications in keeping track of the supply of money."
while they also say
‘It was brilliant because we didn’t have to do it but, on the other hand, they were in control. We had to wait for them to release money and so on’. There may also have been tensions between the Fund and the Red Cross because the Fund was a ‘pop-up’ charity that could create its own culture whereas the Red Cross is steeped in history and tradition, with long established core principles and ways of doing things."
and by phasing the payments over time
"victims did not know how much they might eventually receive in total".
The charity decided only one member of each family should be handed the money for all the victims in the family of the London Bombings - and surprisingly - they say - this only caused issues in one family.
The reports benefits of hindsight summary of how to operate relief funds based on the scams run after 9/11, London Bombings and Hurricane Katrina and what they should do differently for future disasters said regarding "In retrospect what would staff and trustees have done differently?
Lessons learned were get the media spin working better and faster, as we have to remember people talk to each other and disasters create anger.
Make payments to victims bigger at the start - yet they have paid about half the amount Grenfell Tower disaster victims at the start - meaning they keep hold of the money and make things knowingly worse for victims.
Other hindsight thoughts in the report were
"Improve practices around encouraging people to take financial advise" - who the victims or the board of the "charity"? This report dares to say a benefit in hindsight is "Understand from the outset that the application form may be a form of therapy.".
This disgraceful so called lesson learned making a mockery of all the London Bombings victims when the report actually states in the main body the board was finding it hard to pay out and keep track of the funds raised because
"grant recipients sometimes waited months to cash their cheques (possibly related to an unwillingness to accept what had happened, guilt about ‘putting a price‘on their loss, and so on)"
while another lesson learned was to recruit experienced grantmakers to the Board - what like Oppenheim and his London Bombings Relief Fund team as
"grant-making is about more than writing cheques"
The Grenfell Tower fire victims are learning that, just like the London Bombings and terror attack victims - to their further great personal cost.
Other future lessons learned for the City of London report were :
"Consider whether greater control of the funds raised would allow a more creative pattern of grant making" and the charity should "be more brazen about asking for things for free." for themselves.
The London Bombings Relief Fund and Oppenheim happy they could do what they want - unlike Government bodies - after the fund was set, up against the wishes of some, independent of the Mayor of London and the GLA.
The report boasts of how they manipulated the media further by employing a skilled and experienced crisis news management specialist to manage the fund's "reputation" while it deprived victims of help - Oppenheim ruling a woman who lost two legs should only get £6,000 from the pot holding £milllions donated by the public - for a disaster where 52 people died and over 700 were injured.
"There is one new group of villains - the administrators of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) and the £9m London Bombings Relief Fund. Currently all Ms Wright has received is a grant of £6,000 from the fund. In her words: "Money is a huge worry for me at the moment, when all I should be thinking about is walking again." Like many others victims of the bombings, she has lost her salary (£40,000 a year), faces huge bills in terms of house adaptations, as well as extra support and transport costs. The prime minister promised yesterday that interim payments would be made by the CICA within two weeks."
The taxpayers also paying some victims via CICA (which was not designed for terror attacks or disasters but for criminal injuries- running in the same despicable way as this charity by the British Establishment - despite the "charity" collecting £millions of public donations meant to be shared out between every victim - not hoarded by a charity board filled with hooray henries and henriettas.
Oppenheim's Media Strategy to protect the Reputation of the London Bombings Relief Fund
The media strategy employed by Oppenheim's London Bombings Relief fund, was
"The Fund appointed a skilled experienced communications manager who was used to working in crisis news management, in difficult situations under public scrutiny. For the first six weeks the Fund gave daily briefings with the City Hall press office.
‘The whole point was that we were managing our reputation and not being managed by the Evening Standard or the News of the World. Being proactive, giving answers before questions were asked was central to the Fund’s communications strategy. The main communications problem was distinguishing the Fund from CICA." (criminal injuries compensation authority"
In the early days the media conflated CICA with LBRCF. CICA was slow and bureaucratic but, as one person commented, ‘they were a statutory authority and doing what they had to do. We had a blank sheet and could do what we liked’. The headline principle of the Fund’s communications strategy was ‘get in first’, and when the time came to close the Fund the aim was not to leave unanswered questions".
How Red Cross and 9/11 Fund Demanded no fraud protection on Relief Fund
Of the 9/11 disaster relief fund the report for the City of London fund reveals while other charities agreed a database of all those applying for help in future and of oversight to stop fraud - the Red Cross objected as well as the "The CEO of the September 11th Fund" who persuaded the congressman they should not have oversight of relief funds and Red Cross and the September 11th Fund got their way as it was recommended relief funds should co-ordinate creatively between themselves.
The American congress report also recommended the money donated by the public for victims should instead be used for long term restoration - governments are meant to be responsible for.
Is that how the London Emergencies Fund coffer's filled with public donations for victims are being used - for long term restoration - so government don't pay the price for their regulatory and legal failures - and victims who paid for their life don't see the money donated for them?
Is this why the London Emergency Fund (for all possible future emergencies in London) was set up to benefit government when disaster happens - by hoovering up all public donations to be used to restore the disaster area instead of victims getting the money as public donors expect?
9/11 No Help From Disaster Relief Fund - unless you waive your right to sue those Responsible
The report also reveals that the American government changed the law to say people could only get compensation from public donations if they waived their right to sue airlines.
Will London Emergencies Fund, the Regulator and the UK privy council they serve be making sure all UK disaster victims are subject to the same clause - no help from public donations unless you waive your right to sue governments, councils or those we find out are really responsible for disasters and terror attacks that murder and destroy so many family's lives?
With the City of London commissioned report conclusions making absolutely no mention of the victims of the London Bombings, Hurricane Katrina or 9/11 victims when assessing the success of these colossal relief fund scams based on the genuine heartbreak and generosity of people from around the world (where social media helps raise so much more) - instead the report concluding it's all about the London Bombings Relief Fund charity that got lucky - and how can the city boys improve on that luck disaster capitalism they operate is designed to give them.
Government breaks guarantee those on benefits will not lose means tested benefits
The report also revealed the government guaranteed anyone on benefits would never have payments from disaster relief funds included in any benefits means testing - while the video above reveals Grenfell Tower victims have received DWP letters ordering them to declare any help they receive from the fund as it will affect their housing benefit for the houses they are living in temporarily after the fire claimed victims homes and everything they owned and so many losing their lives while the government covering up the real figure of the number of victims who died in the Grenfell Tower Disaster.
Cruel derisory payments to victims - if they even get them - from public donations
The report also reveals that derisory maximum amounts - were set by Oppenheim - as he could do what he liked with the donations of money for the London Bombings, the report reveals, and while the report claimed in 2015 the lesson learned was more money should be given in phase one to victims - instead Oppenheim has set the same figures for Grenfell Fire victims that were set by him for London Bombing victims 12 years ago - meaning Grenfell Fire victims are being paid probably half that of London Bombing victims when you include 12 years of inflation.
While London Emergencies Trust continues to hoover up and collect public donations for victims of the Grenfell Fire victims and
Westminster Terror Attack London Bridge Terror Attack Finsbury Park Terror Attack
UK Privy Council Control
While we still don't have the final death toll for the Grenfell Tower Disaster, with the victims being denied the help from the public donations meant for them, reports reveal many victims are attempting suicide with the Independent revealing
"Speaking at a public meeting chaired by the Government's gold command, he said one attempt at the weekend had been successful."
Is this due to the despicable treatment by the those who control the Grenfell Tower Funds and the Red Cross and the British Establishment operating their colossal disaster capitalism scam for their own benefit together.
With the cold responses from state officials to victims who have lost everything including losing their children - with claims they would be no cover up.
Yet now we find Theresa May's government has chosen a member of the Queen's UK privy council to control THEIR inquiry - retired Judge Sir Martin Moore-Bick, a man who has sworn to keep all state secrets for the Queen for life to accept the invitation to join the Royal family's control club.
Theresa May is his boss as she and her cabinet control the UK privy council with the Royal Family, bankers, lords and ladies - 650 members for life all swearing to keep all state secrets together when required.
The same Queen who heads Red Cross which refuses to explain why Grenfell Fire Victims are not receiving the public donations meant for them.
This is a classic tactic by the government and the British establishment - as the government picked Chilcot to mislead the public for the Iraq Inquiry - when he was in the UK privy council for life with Tony Blair - how you keep Iraq War state secrets for your fellow UK Privy Councillors with no one declaring their conflict of interest - as they are all sworn to secrecy together.
The same is true of the Dunblane Massacre of little children - where Michael Forsyth and George Robertson both knew Thomas Hamilton - the patsy - personally - yet despite this Michael Forsyth got to pick Lord Cullen to lead the "inquiry" and Robertson got to set the terms of what Cullen could not investigate - after Cullen's report was published all Dunblane Massacre files impounded and 100 year secrecy rules imposed - with Cullen and Robertson both appointed to the Queen's UK Privy Council for life soon after.
Victims don't appear to be the priority for any of these people with Civil Society Media stating they are "the UK’s only independent media company dedicated solely to supporting the charity sector" asking yesterday on 5th September
"what more are the government about to do" - for the charities sector (not victims and those needing assistance) over the next three months
while the London Emergencies Fund and Red Cross are hoovering up the money from the London Terror Attacks and the Grenfell Tower Fire into a pot which is paying victims less than the 2005 London Bombings victims despite the City of London commissioned report stating they Oppenheim had learned we should pay victims more immediately.
Was this report commissioned by the City of London purely to figure out how the disaster relief funds can benefit further from disasters they expect to increase due to global warming and terror attacks - at all the victims' expense?
What is the government doing to regulate these charities?
Who is regulating the London Emergencies fund for all disasters in London and the rest of the £40 billion "charity" sector?
What are our 4 Nations to do against such complete corrupt power?
When this complete corruption goes all the way to the Royal Family and the UK privy council controlled by the Westminster Cabinet - what are we to do to ensure Grenfell Fire victims and Terror Attack Victims and the public are no longer fleeced by the British Establishment Disaster Capitalism scams because the 4 nations have serious decisions to be make. Would all four nations benefit from being free from the Royals, their UK privy council of 650 state secret keepers for life and the rotten Westminster government and demand that all these BIG SOCIETY CHARITIES ARE ALL SHUT DOWN WITH THE POT SHARED WITH EVERY ONE of the victims of these London disasters and the poor and needy the UK privy council have been imposing austerity on for the last ten years across the UK - many of whom have committed suicide - further victims of this corrupt rotten British Establishment closed shop?
Especially as in Scotland Nicola Sturgeon and so called "independent" judge, Lady Smith, both in the UK privy Council together for life together, turning the so called State Child Abuse inquiry into a Scottish PIE (pedophile information exchange) right now.
Is there a better way for our four nations to run the UK - there sure is - and you can find it here - with Yes and No voters in Scotland saying they would be happily independent of them all if Scotland was run like this idea suggested on the People Power menu option on this website (top right).
I'm sure the people in England, Northern Ireland and Wales who are also victims of the vile UK Privy Council of 650 life time members together will agree.
Has the time of people power over joint Royal UK Privy Council controlled party power come of age for the UK - just like the Swiss have - to finally give justice for every victim of the Grenfell Tower Disaster, Terror Attacks in the UK, the Dunblane Massacre, Iraq War and every other victim of UK privy council corruption of public inquiries together every single day of our lives - who all swear to keep their collective corruption secret together for life?
I think so - to finally let every victim rest in peace.
