| Soros giving $100 million to Human Rights Watch |
| 2010-09-10 |
| (JTA) -- Billionaire philanthropist George Soros will give Human Rights Watch $100 million to expand its work throughout the world. The gift, announced Tuesday, is the largest ever by Soros and the largest received by Human Rights Watch, The New York Times reported. As we have seen repeatedly here, "human rights" are not the same as "individual rights," and are often antithetical to them... Soros, 80, told the Times that the gift is the first of a series of large gifts that he plans to make. Soros this year has donated some $700 million to several causes. He earned $3.3 billion from his hedge fund in 2009, the Times reported. The gift is a challenge grant requesting that Human Rights Watch raise $10 million over the next decade from new, international sources. The organization will get the money even if it is not successful. |

| #5 Makes sense. HRW just caught flack because one of their tops dogs had this "thing" for Nazi memorabilia and Soros is a self-admitted (and unapologetic) collorator with the Nazi's |

| #4 Soros throws a lot of his stolen boodle around one cause or another stirring up his pot of $hit. He doesn't live in any of the third world $hit holes does he? |
