Russia does not fit standards of Western democracy (Soros retailiates after they reject homo)

Russia does not fit standards of Western democracy again 04.02.2013

Last week, Human Rights Watch presented World Report 2013. The report focused on the human rights situations in more than 90 countries of the world in 2012. Of 665 pages of the report, ten are devoted to Russia. An attempt to find at last something positive about our country on those ten pages will suffer a rapid fiasco.

Human Rights Watch Director for Europe and Central Asia, Hugh Williamson, gave the following assessment: "Last year was the worst one in terms of the situation with human rights in Russia in all of its recent history."

In his view, "a retreat from the principles of human rights that we have today, poorly fits the role of a responsible leader in the multi-polar world," Interfax reports.

The authors of the report, according to the section on Russia, decided not to bother themselves much with a careful analysis of what is happening in our country. They took the events that received great attention in the press. The list included May meetings, celebrations of the opposition in Moscow (they even mentioned a visit that police paid to one of the cafes - as evidence of growing repressions).

Print version Font Size Send to friend The report did not forget the amendments to the law on the meetings (with increased penalties for violations of the rules of public events) and the law about NGOs as "foreign agents." There was the Pussy Riot case and the termination of the activities of the USAID in Russia as well, of course.

The authors of the report did not ignore even the upcoming Sochi Olympics. Human Rights Watch suddenly decided to pay attention to "misuse of funds connected with the preparation for the Olympic Games in 2014." It goes about "unfair compensations" to city residents, working days that last too long and prosecution of activists for criticism. Indeed, why not mentioning that in the report? It is strange, though, that Human Rights Watch drew attention to that at the time, when preparations for the Olympics came up to the finish line.

Needless to say that the report did not miss out the laws prohibiting the propaganda of homosexuality in some Russian regions - as an example of violation of the rights of sexual minorities.

The report from Human Rights Watch became one of a series of such reports since the beginning of 2013, in which the actions of the Russian authorities get criticized heavily. The assessments of human rights defenders are very similar to what American politicians, officials and diplomats say, when it comes to Russia and Russian laws.

Although it is worth mentioning that unlike Freedom House, Human Rights Watch (headquartered in the U.S.) stresses out that they do not accept funding from government agencies and exist through private donations. One of the most famous and generous financiers is George Soros, for example. The MacArthur Foundation is among partners.

In general, such reports are generally seen as nothing but pure propaganda. They get forgotten in a day or two after their presentation. Actually, the above-mentioned statement by Hugh Williamson can be perceived as an attempt to attract additional attention to the World Report 2013.

"Perhaps, Mr. Williamson knows better what is happening in our country," lawyer Anatoly Kucherena, a member of Russia's Public Chamber said. "I think that we should not be afraid of criticism - he told Pravda.ru. "There are problems, no one denies them. But we have to deal with them ourselves," he added.

"Never heard of Soros? He is the reason we are in the mess. He runs Goebbel’s like propaganda machine out of NY, he is Hedge Fund manager, who broke the bank of England, is a convicted felon in France, has NGO’s all over the world which corrupt governments and line his $20 Billion portfolio. He claimed to own the democratic party, and is Obama’s (DNC) biggest campaign contributor. The media calls him “philanthropist”, of course."

How do you do all that in so many years- I can't even get my garage clean

Well well well. The "socialist motherland" isn't the lefties' "motherland" any more . . .

Unfortunately, their foreign policy is still 100% Soviet.

Soros has been able to have, literally anything he wants in the world for so long that most things probably bore him.
I think he wants to either be Emperor of the world or just decided to see how bad he can screw up everything.

Russia has a flat and is experiencing the lowest unemployment in decades while we are sufferring through Obama’s extended recession. Also the Russians seem to value religious and moral foundations and have a better grasp of the sciences than most of the rest of the world. They haven’t let political correctness emasculate their society and regardless of their flaws they are well on a course to be a dominate player in the world while we are clearly in a decline. While I have disagreements on their military policy they at least are making decisions based on what is best for Russian interests where as here in the US our leaders only seem interested in capitulating to the UN and international pressure.

I also am glad they banned gay propaganda something that we should’ve done years ago when it could’ve been done under the aspices of obscenity. Now we have an endless fight as those of us that believe in sound science and biologically correct unions of marriage are constantly labeled as bigots and find our personal liberty under a constant assault by the tyranny of political correctness whether it be gay, feminist, race, guns, or environment.

I am beginning to wonder if they want the homos to infiltrate the highest levels of government and military because they are most likely to turn on their own people and start shooting and torturing when the SHTF The Nazi SS had heavy duty homosexual activity going on and recruitment of like-minded to the highest levels

If you want to rule, you need to have people willing to do bad things to the people who object to you. In selecting your thugs, it's good to pick people who are totally alienated from the people you anticipate needing to thump.

The people that the progressives want to thump are the white, heterosexual, Christian middle class.

Draw your own conclusions about who they will pick for their thugs.

said it time and time again and that is the family is the backbone of this country and theirs, the commies knew this back in the 20’s and thus went after the family and have neevr given up in the hopes of destroying the normal family.

Good for Putin and Russia to not let their country go to a bunch of people who love feces anal sex with their same sex and then think special rights should be afforded to them.

Russia stands for Russia, in the west many countries have been infested with hard line left wing agenda’s whilst the pansy right wing shut up or actually indulged in their sick perverted agenda.

Rove and the elitist establishment , take note.

I would like to see Putin have Soros served a cup of tea. A blend with, shall we say, a certain glow.

Is it true that Soros is under a death sentence in Russia? If they don’t want Gayocracy —they can reject it and we can’t force them to follow our ideas—ideas that do not seem to be working out so well in any case.

His money, power, and connections will devolve to his son, who he's been grooming to take over his work.
