I don't need to tell you that Hurricane Matthew is a monster storm. It cut a path of terrible destruction through the Caribbean, particularly Haiti. The death toll there is surging into the hundreds. Then it pummeled Florida, where President Obama declared a state of emergency on Thursday. Governor Rick Scott has refused to extend the voter registration deadline of October 11th, a ploy to ensure that many potential voters never make it to the polls.

What charity to donate to for Haitian Relief?

OK... I have questions in chat of which charities have a good reputation in Haiti for actually doing something to help Haitians both short term and long term. In my experience big International aid agencies (Think Clinton Foundation, Red Cross etc.) are mostly "disaster capitalists" and can have serious problems with actually helping.

This morning I had the unfortunate experiance of listening to people who should know better that Haitians themselves are to blame for Hurricane Matthew (and poverty):

1. Because they worship the devil and don't follow Jesus.
2..Because the became independent of France (unlike neighboring Guadeloupe).
3. Because they are corrupt.
4. Because they destroyed their forests/habitat/environment.
