Billionaire Makes $100 Million Donation

(AP)  Philanthropist George Soros has announced a 10-year, $100 million grant to Human Rights Watch.

The organization said Tuesday that it is receiving the funding from Soros' Open Society Foundations.

The grant challenges Human Rights Watch to raise an additional $100 million in matching private contributions.

It will require Human Rights Watch to increase its annual budget from $48 million to $80 million within five years.

Soros said in the statement that human rights are "at the heart of open societies."

The international human rights group is based in New York and is supported by contributions from individuals and foundations.

This is tainted money -- tainted by the gold teeth and jewelry of Holocaust victims who Soros exploited to earn his first shekel. Soros refused to apologize to the victim's families during an interview on CBS's Sixty Minutes. He is a despicable human being whose donations pollutes any organization that accepts his money.

Soros is the biggest Communist Marxist billionaire the WORLD has ever seen. A real sow! (That's "pig" for you people in L.A.)

human rights is an interesting example of how humanism and secularism is seen to float on thin air with a huge abyss below. On what basis do they support "human rights" if science says we are all merely descended from animals? It's a grotesque predicament. How are we different from animals? Should they have equal rights? Is eating meat truly murder? Some animal rights groups seriously think so and consider humanity the bane of all existence, though they put a smiling face on such baffoonery. And thens some people just blindly insist they're values are "better". But they have no solid intellectual rock to stand on. It's just their own feeling they essentially use to lord their own values over others in something most peculiar to the accusations leveled almost exclusively and mercilessly at the religious..."bias/prejudice." And yet ironically, it is the religious, most particularly Christians, who know the value of humanity lies in the simple acknowledgment of God, and the knowledge that man is made in His image, and thus derives our value as human beings.

Secularists and humanists on the other hand literally have nothing, as there are certainly cultures in the world that completely disagree with many "human" rights, such as women's, and see nothing wrong with their societies. They are the naked emperors of the world, George Soros, foremost.
