"For months, LA fire victims have been asking: where did the $100M from the FireAid concerts go?

I followed the money — and it leads to a shadowy nonprofit called the Annenberg Foundation.

Let’s just say the rabbit hole gets dark — fast."

Has America become one giant scam? Geez I hope there’s an explanation for this.

Well, it’s not going to the victims so they can rule that out.

Our government is now a lot like the governments in Africa. For some reason. Corruption and self enrichment is the whole point of getting the job.

Another name highjacked by the left. Walter J. Annenberg was the publisher of Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News and TV Guide (Triangle Publications), back in the day when TV Guide was probably the highest circulation magazine in the country(15 cents). He was highly influential Republican donor ( I don’t remember whether he came out against Goldwater with Rockefeller, PA gov Scranton , et al, in 1964; Nixon stood with Goldwater and campaigned for him). He got the prestigious post to Court of St. James when Nixon became President.

Sadly this is typical. I don’t know if anyone who got anything from the same kind of con after Almeda fire took my community and everything I had.

Nothing was ever offered to me.

Wasn’t Michelle Obama connected with them?

People asking such a question in CaCaLand have not been here long or are too stoopid to pay attention.

ALL such “programs” exist for one reason — to establish a bag of dosh that is then skimmed. Go look at the BulletTrain crappola or every single: “help the homeless” program.

The government, charities and corporations all have one in common; they steal. Ruthlessly, relentlessly and without hesitation. In this world, it must be presumed that every organization is corrupt until proven otherwise.

If there were 10,000 households impacted by the fire, that $100 million would, if split evenly, get each household $10,000. Or, after overhead, and other filter-down shenanigans, they’ll end up getting a check for $1.09 from some schmuck named Navin Johnson.

It went to commies for their far left agenda that simple. The plan is to turn the Palisades into a low income housing project, that is what the left means when they say “Reimagine the Palisades” its too white for them, needs more brown and black folks living there..heck thats why they set the fire to begin with..usually fire causes are determined within days, but for some reason this particular fire, NO ONE knows the cause
