OlderMadonna Syphoning Money Out of Gucci For Kabbalah?
Madonna has conned both UNICEF USA and Gucci into helping her raise money for the Kabbalah Center, reports Fox News.
Here’s their shocking report: Gucci is throwing an all-star fundraiser on Feb. 6 for Madonna’s charity, Raising Malawi. GUCCI’s “A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF” will take place in heated tents on the north lawn of the United Nations, with special co-hosts Sarah Jessica Parker and Salma Hayek scheduled to attend along with Madonna.
However, neither Gucci nor UNICEF is aware that Raising Malawi is merely a front for Philip Berg’s Kabbalah Center of Los Angeles.
In fact, before anyone writes a check: Raising Malawi is also still not a registered charity. All of its forms, filings and press releases direct back to the Kabbalah Center.
Berg’s son Michael started Raising Malawi under the pretext of helping orphans in that impoverished country. But after Madonna helped herself to one, David Banda, Berg and the rest of the Kabbalah/Raising Malawi team went to work on their real cause: indoctrinating unsuspecting Malawi orphans into their brand of mysticism.
According to Berg’s blog from April 24, 2006, his first move was to bring Malawi teachers to Los Angeles to retrofit them for Kabbalah. He wrote:
“We have brought a number of teachers from the African nation of Malawi to Los Angeles. This is part of our Raising Malawi initiative. They will be learning the Spirituality for Kids curriculum for the next 3 months. After that, they will go back to Malawi and teach the children there these empowering spiritual life lessons. I am very excited about this project. This morning we welcomed them to the Centre.”

WTF? This is just crazy!
I believe you meant “Siphoning”.
SHE’S SO OUT. :(
for the love of peter pan, what happened to her left hand? looks like it’s melting or something, creepy.
Cyphening???? Did you mean “siphoning” or can be spelled as “syphoning” as well….
as usual fox news gives “news” without checking their facts they should change their name to fox inquirer
So are they getting tips from $cientology on how to run scams?
Please!!! Madonna is trying to make something good for Malawi. Who else is trying to help this country? Fox news sucks!!!!!!!
MADONNA IS GREAT
Funny how I was saying this back when she first adopted that boy that something was not right. When has this B!tch done anyting out of the kindness of her heart, everything is an agenda with her. She’s in a freakin cult people, just like Tom Cruise, these people make me sick, they have no souls.
Thanks, Tammie and Wendy!
I dont mind people helping out other people but as far as charities go I prefer them to be as transparent and clear about their goals as possible. And this particular case: I dunno. I have pretty mixed feelings.
I dont like it one bit.
Fox news does stink, and there’s certainly something smelly about it all.
I agree with Naima, the whole thing is just off.
very strange indeed.
I don’t believe it. I live in Israel and as I know Kabbalah is not thing that everyone can learn if wants. They don’t like staranges and don’t let strange people to be in that,they are very close. So I don’t think this story about teachers is true.
huh, better cancel your donations to the missionaries at your local church, to Feed the Children and to the Salvation Army, too.
One really shouldn’t buy into everything that FOX NEWS reports! And I would find it REALLY hard to believe that she couldn’t just support the whole church by herself if she wanted to. Remember that $120 Million deal she just closed? And her hubby doesn’t make chump change either. Come on! When did you get so scandal-mongering, Jared? You’re usually so fair!
this is unacceptable!!!
madonna is a grown woman who can do whatever she wants with her money; even giving it to a brainwashing cult that’s after other people’s money. It’s her problem if she is an idiot and unaware of the dangers of cults. However Malawi children are just that: children. The government of Malawi shouldn’t accept that these children fall in the hands of this cult.
I’m still surprised at the fact that a government from a democratic country like the US, allows cults like Kabalah or Scientology that represent a threat to human rights, free will and other values in which democracy is founded and that must be protected by all means.
hey mercedes, what do you think the catholics did to the native americans, for instance?
Eddie, you took the words right out of my mouth.
It’s not unusual for religious organizations to do some indoctrination along with their charity work.
And I’m sure the UNICEF is aware of the LA Center involvement on this. I seriously doubt they’d take part in something like this without doing a check on things.
eddie and ana,
yeeeaaaahhh, great references but that happened how many hundreds of years ago? i think most people would say that we have evolved past that standard of what is acceptable/what isn’t acceptable. if madonna is ripping of charitable people with false pretences of where their money is going…she should be held accountable for it.
my point is, fox “news” has no moral authority here, and i don’t trust their spin, and i find it amusing that the news center of the moral majority can call the kettle black.
Oh God Fox News! Why even report their BS here.
Every Christian missionary organization does the same thing when they go out “helping” people. I’m not saying it’s right, but the standard has been set by Christian volunteer groups who also evangelize while giving aid.
Now, whether or not this is the case with Madonna remains to be seen. Fox News is not a credible source. They create controversy not report news. They have an ax grind with so called “liberal hollywood” and they go out of their way creating drama so their loyal followers become even more mistrustful of hollywood and the charities they champion. All this will do is prevent the viewership of Fox News from believing work needs to be and must be done to help poor communities throughout the world. No wonder the did the same thing to Angelina Jolie and they continue to try and work the “infidelity” angle because it works on their audience.
TRUST HER..!
Another faux religion being forced on/tested on the African people. I can’t wait for the backlash to start…
Madonna is a hypocrite.
She’s no better than Cruise taking/making up a religion to suit her lifestyle, fund her ambitions and give her great leadership power.
