Qatargate’s U.S. Connection, the Human Rights Mafia

The Qatatgate scandal now rocking the European Union has a U.S. connection through the New York City based Human Rights Foundation. This organization financed the Fight Impunity NGO which was used to “keeping the money moving” by the conspirators headed by former Member of the European Parliament Antonio Panzeri. According to Wikipedia, HRF was founded by Thor Halvorssen Mendoza in 2005 and has been carrying out campaigns against Russia, China and other countries. It is known for organizing the so-called Oslo Freedom Forum, often dubbed the Davos of human rights conferences. While Mendoza is the organization’s CEO, its chairman is none other than Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, of Chechen War fame and top hater of Russian President Vladimir Putin. One Javier El-Hage is the current chief legal officer, who has appeared in conferences sponsored by Fight Impunity and held in the European Parliament. The foundation’s head office is in the rather Empire State Building in New York City.
