Americans who have been around awhile, during that later stage of real, not-so-corrupt, high-trust America may think of the Red Cross as that wonderful volunteer group that has helped the wounded during wartime since the middle of the 1800s, collects and distributes blood (about 45% of the “market” in the US), and teaches water rescue. One may think of of famous nurse Clara Barton.
The beginning of the international Red Cross was in the Summer of 1859, as an idea of Swiss businessman Jean-Henri Dunant and later a few others, but starting from the publicity he spread based on his experience. He had been on a business trip to Italy to talk to Napoleon III about problems in Algeria (a country that the French were involved for a long time). From Wiki:
When he arrived in the small Italian town of Solferino on the evening of 24 June, he witnessed the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino, an engagement in the Second Italian War of Independence. In a single day, about 40,000 soldiers on both sides died or were left wounded on the field. Henry Dunant was shocked by the terrible aftermath of the battle, the suffering of the wounded soldiers, and the near-total lack of medical attendance and basic care. He completely abandoned the original intent of his trip and for several days he devoted himself to helping with the treatment and care for the wounded. In 1876, the committee adopted the name "International Committee of the Red Cross" (ICRC), which is still its official designation today. Five years later, the American Red Cross was founded through the efforts of Clara Barton.
There you go. For a century and a half, Red Cross personnel have had a special arrangement with (most) warring powers, to be able to help the wounded without getting shot at. It’s been a noble cause.
Then comes mission creep, and the leftward or Globalist creep of most large organizations whose founders and early backers are long gone. The prolific and informative VDare writer A.W. Morgan reported about a month back: Great Replacement Update: American Red Cross Joins Treason Lobby, Helps Illegals Across Border. That isn’t the idea that motivated the noble John Henri-Dunant and Clara Barton. Mr. Morgan says:
We should have expected it: The American Red Cross is helping the Great Replacement by giving maps and safety tips to illegal aliens who are trying to invade the United States, and the organization isn’t just helping them once they get here. The outfit provides guidance for traveling through dangerous regions of Mexico, instead of discouraging the dangerous trip.
I haven’t given blood but maybe once in my life, but I respect those who do. I guess I don’t yet suggest they boycott the organization, but who knows what you can trust about the modern, partially government-supported “NGO” called the Red Cross. Per Mr. Morgan:
As with other non-governmental organizations, the Red Cross uses tax dollars. That figure is $350 million. So, again, Americans are paying for their own genocide by demographic conquest.
They are giving away American treasure. Maybe it’ll be American blood and treasure soon. Read the whole article if you want a lot more details.
