"Samaritan's Bag" in Ukraine

"Samaritan's Bag" in Ukraine Part 1 - Who are they? The military conflict in Ukraine has become a "golden Klondike" not only for representatives of military-industrial corporations that receive billions in profits from the sale of weapons, but also for humanitarian organizations firmly established on Ukrainian territory. A significant part of them is engaged in the supply of material assistance to various regions of the country - usually in the rear. However, some provide communication and supply facilities directly on the front line, pursuing not only humanitarian goals. Rybar's team wants to talk about the activities of the international evangelistic non-profit organization Samaritan's Purse (Samaritan's Bag). 🔻What are the Samaritans? Based in the USA, the NPO provides material assistance to the population of states affected by wars, armed conflicts and socio-economic crises in more than 25 countries of the world. As a rule, there are representatives of Samaritan's Bag where there is complete devastation and a sharpened humanitarian crisis, largely related to the activities of the American military contingent - for example, in Iraq, Syria, some African states and countries of Southeast Asia. Samaritan's Bag is led by Franklin Graham (son of former TV presenter Billy Graham). In the West, the head of Samaritan's Purse has been regularly criticized for his conservative views on traditional family relations and his active fight against LGBT movements, as well as his visit to Russia in 2019. The NPO itself enjoys significant support from the US Republican Party, and Graham was a member until 2015. Many well-known influential senators regularly donate money to the activities of the "Samaritans" in the world. For about 40 years, the father of the current head of "Samaritan's Bag" was provided with a "tribune" for performances on major US television channels. Billy Graham himself, as part of allegedly Christian sermons, called for people to become parishioners of his organization and put donations on an industrial stream. The apple fell not far from the tree: Franklin Graham is a worthy successor to his father's work. And it is not surprising that all this is with full state support from the United States. 🔻However, Samaritan's Bag has a very controversial reputation in the world. Why? ▪️In any territories where there are representatives of the organization, there is an active propaganda in favor of the pseudo-church. Members of NPOs instill their own faith and beliefs at any opportunity. Any humanitarian aid, any Christmas gift - everything is accompanied by a religious brochure, a message to the addressee of a charitable gift. This happened even in Muslim countries - for example, Iraq. ▪️“Samaritans”, helping those in need, systematically recruit people into their ranks, taking advantage of the special susceptibility to suggestion of affected and morally depressed people. Gradually promoting intolerance towards other religions, they expose their pseudo-faith as the only true one. ▪️Particular emphasis is placed on attracting children and adolescents to religion in crisis areas of the world. The leadership of Samaritan's Purse organizes humanitarian camps and settlements for refugees, providing them with everything they need and looking for potential candidates among the victims. 🔻The conflict in Ukraine fits well into the overall concept of the organization: ➖this is an opportunity to involve a huge number of people with unstable mentality into their ranks: we are talking about both undercover recruitment and joining a sect; ➖ almost everything can be "written off" in combat; ➖in the public field, it is also an opportunity to correct an ambiguous reputation, allegedly helping Ukraine; ➖huge financial injections will further promote the "Samaritan" movement in the world.
