Concern works to help those living in the world's poorest countries to achieve real and lasting improvements in their lives. Concern is engaged in long term development work, in addition to emergency relief in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. Concern’s core work focuses on health, hunger and humanitarian response in emergencies. They work in partnership with small community groups as well as governments and large global organisations.

Concern Worldwide US is an affiliate of Concern Worldwide. It has offices in New York and Chicago. Concern Worldwide is a partner of the One Campaign.
Concern Worldwide was set up by a small group of people including John and Kay O’Loughlin Kennedy in their home in Dublin in March 1968, following an appeal for aid by missionaries for the starving population of war torn Biafra. In June 1968 Africa Concern as it was originally called, launched their famine appeal “Send One Ship”. The ship, the Colmcille landed off the coast of Biafra in September 1968 with supplies of powdered food and medicine. In 1970 the public were asked to respond to the cyclone in East Pakistan and Africa Concern became Concern.

Jade Helm is of great concern worldwide and especially to Americans. Jade Helm is not an isolated strategy but is part of a grand plan to convert our beautiful planet into a one world nightmare. According to Dr. John Coleman this plan is orchestrated by a group called the Committee of 300 and a diabolical sub- group known as the Tavistock Institute. These organizations obviously use natural patterns of human tendencies to contribute to our enslavement. This pod cast centers on how Tavistock has timed its interventions to puppet humanity into following into line with the overall plans for the one world government. We talk about WWII, the Hippie Movement (known as the Aquarian Conspiracy) and now the Jade Helm 15 intervention which were all intended to lay the groundwork for the global polic...

The Catholic sex abuse cases are a series of allegations, investigations, trials and convictions of child sexual abuse crimes committed by Catholic priests, nuns and members of Roman Catholic orders against children as young as three years old with the majority between the ages of 11 and 14.[1][2][3] Many of the cases span several decades and are brought forward years after the abuse occurred. Cases have also been brought against members of the Catholic hierarchy who did not report sex abuse allegations to the legal authorities. It has been shown they deliberately moved sexually abusive priests to other parishes where the abuse sometimes continued.[4] This has led to a number of fraud cases where the Church has been accused of misleading victims by deliberately relocating priests accused o...
