[pp.int.general] Declare INTERNET as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity

[Amelia Andersdotter]

George Soros is Hungarian (I think) but migrated to the United States. 
He made a big fortune gambling on the stock markets (or with currency 
speculation) and now devotes the fortune into helping social movements 
and society critical organisations. It's not a problem to be sponsored 
by Soros, and in fact a large part of Europe's civil society is taking 
money from Soros or Soros-related funds already.

They are not more or less transparent than any other equivalent 
benefactor. They just devote their funds to better causes.

best regards,

Amelia
