FEMA is directing Katrina donations to none other than the
Rev. Pat Robertson …

Millions of Americans and people around the world have rushed to
donate money to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, which is
shaping up to be one of the worst U.S. disasters in history, if
not the worst.

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is the lead
federal agency in the rescue & recovery operation at work in New
Orleans and the Mississippi gulf coast.

FEMA has released to the media and on its Web site a list of
suggested charities to help the storm’s hundreds of thousands of
victims. The Red Cross is first on the list.

The Rev. Pat Robertson’s “Operation Blessing” is next on the
list.  [Actually third on the list:

“It’s an outrage,” said privacy watchdog Bill Scannell, who
alerted Sploid to the FEMA / Robertson scam. “Operation f**cking
Blessing? And it’s right underneath the Red Cross link!”

Scannell, currently campaigning against the Transportation
Security Administration’s refusal to turn over personal
information illegally collected from 100 million U.S. air
passengers, noted that Operation Blessing’s board of directors
is dominated by the televanglist and his family.

The chairman, “MG Robertson,” is none other than the Rev. Pat —
Marion Gordon Robertson is his real name — while Pat’s wife DeDe
is vice president and son Gordon Robertson is also on the board.

The front operation for the radical, pro-assassination
televangelist and Republican power broker is also based in the
Rev. Pat’s headquarters, Virginia Beach.

Robertson’s shell organizations have already collected more than
$25 million from the federal government under various “faith
based” federal-handout programs. And with millions of distraught
citizens looking to FEMA for help in finding reputable
organizations to help Katrina survivors, Robertson stands to
profit magnificently from the horror that has fallen on New
Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
