January 18, 2010 journal, could American soon be in the same condition as Haiti is now. To judge Haiti we must first look at ourselves. I have predicted New Orleans was a trial run. We are spiritually impoverished. We are politically correct. We are Rome/Babylon. Is there any hope for Haiti? Yes, when they know the true name of the true living God. U.N. aid worker quoted as saying "Money is no good now in Haiti, water is currency". Dear friend-Let me say thank you for your reply even though it scared me that I might sound like Pat Roberson. I was wondering if you read the smaller print that was down below the Scriptures. The Scriptures my friend quoted are I believe correct but perhaps they are also inappropriate at this time when Haiti lies in total helpless waste. It makes no difference if Haiti is Voodoo or Christian in terms of helping them because I want to help them just the same. I am appalled at Glen Beck saying Venezuela has taken over Haiti in this crisis. What a blessing if they had. I am no favorite of Fox crazy News. I see where Valenzuela sent 3000 troops and loads of supplies, even Cuba is helping out, Brazil and other South American nations but America has been slow. The article I sent you said our army has been there for 3 days but not yet done anything. I hope that information was mistaken. We could have sent in teams to rescue a week ago. it says the U.N. is waiting for the fallen government to authorize them to give out supplies. I do not at all blame the Haitian people for taking the goods they need if it be in their country. One report said the U.N. workers were afraid of the mobs and they may be but they took the job to do this. This makes us look bad before the world that we are too weak to respond to a neighbor. my same friend sent me another e-mail today saying he had heard from someone in Haiti that said money is no good down there, only water is currency. It will be the same here. Another friend e-mailed me from Florida with a little rule about looking at the donut and not the hole. We were late in responding to New Orleans in their terrible crisis and if this happened here to a major city, we may not be able to respond in time. I am sick at all the mayhem and destruction of life. The bulldozing of bodies and burying in common graves. Haiti has had 3 hurricanes recently. We were there in the '80s and saw deplorable living conditions. My heart goes out to Haiti people praying for God's divine absolute mercy. Rush Limbaugh has opposed every charity to Haiti today saying the White House bush fund will take out 28% administration costs and they may. Why don't Rush give them half his $20 million salary and send it directly without any administration costs being deducted. Haiti could use $10 million worth of water and food immediately. We can do a lot better. Let there be no mistaking, I am for full relief of the Haitian crisis giving them everything possible in their time of desperation. I think not of whether they are Protestant Christian, Catholic, voodoo, Jew, Greek, Hindu, atheist or Buddhist. I want to help them if possible. Our miserable response is unacceptable, after one week we barely have 2000 troops and they are not yet engaged according to reports. I have seen nothing going on from the Red Cross other than fund raising. It was good of bloody Chase to give a million dollars to the Red Cross but where is the Red Cross? Haiti's crisis is not over but those relief workers are coming home because they are being prevented from saving people in their dire need. It is time to unite and move forward to save the people rather than air-conditioning your tents if we fail to salvage them. The troops need to hit the ground running to save them.
