As I already told
here, I see NATO backed organisations like National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Reporters Without Borders (RSF) like CIA gunboats in a battle of bloody psychological warfare operations against China and many other countries. The backgrounds of NED and RSF were already uncovered here, I want now to give a closer look to Human Rights Watch.
The US-based NGO "Human Rights Watch" HRW was cited in support of the anti-chinese CIA Tibet-PSYOP by many western media. CNN for example quotes "Human Rights Watch" demand for not to let the olympic flame pass Tibet:
Quote:
In a written statement, the non-governmental organization Human Rights Watch urged the games' organizers not to allow the flame to pass through Tibet "unless the Chinese government agrees to an independent investigation into the recent unrest in Tibetan areas."

HRW also tried to pressure sponsors of the olympic games to parrot CNNs view n the world and "speaking out about the deteriorating human rights situation in China":

HRW ist also concerned about France. See here, how websites with User Generated Content are harassed in France:

One may like the punished content or not, people who understand the comon practices of censorship in Western countries, may guess that the background of such court rulings is nothing else than to financially break independant media. More than 5000 dollar fine for three links is quite a lot money.
Of course neither Human Rights Watch nor Reporter Without Borders is concerned about protecting press freedom by supporting independant media and bloggers in France. Interesting to see, that Human Rights Watch instead tries to bully the French president, so that he shall take part in the PSYOP attack on China. Read here:
"Human Rights Watch has urged French President Nicolas Sarkozy to insist on improvements in China''s human rights situation before agreeing to attend to summer Olympics opening ceremonies."

Human Rights Watch is blind for dirt in their own homeland, but instead points to China. So one may want to look who is Human Rights Watch and what's beind it? Have a look here:
"Human rights are part of the American value system, but they are also especially useful as an 'ideology of justification' in wartime. Such an ideology should ideally meet some criteria. First, it should not be a simple appeal to self-interest. Simply stating "We own the world!" or "We are the master race, submit to us!" is not good propaganda. As a slogan, 'war on terrorism' is also inadequate, since it is too clearly an American war, against the enemies of America. For propaganda purposes, an appeal to higher values is preferable."

Who is behind Human Rights Watch? (2004)
"Human Rights Watch is organised approximately by continent. The Europe section was established in 1978, originally named 'Helsinki Steering Committee' or 'Helsinki Watch'. It is the core of the later Human Rights Watch organisation. In the late 1970's, human rights had become the main issue in Cold War propaganda, after Soviet concessions at the Helsinki summit (1975), allowing human rights monitoring. Western governments encouraged 'private' organisations to use this concession - not out of moral concern, but as a means of pressuring the Soviet Union. HRW was one of these 'private' organisations: in other words, it began as a Cold War propaganda instrument."
Very interesting there is the section "HRW Donors":
"Taken from an older version of the HRW website, this 1995 list is apparently the only information available. In the United States, HRW is not legally obliged to disclose who donates money. About half its funds come from foundations, and half from individual donors, in total about $20 million.
In its Annual Reports, HRW always claims that it "accepts no government funds, directly or indirectly." However, that was a lie according to the 1995 list, and it is still a lie. The Dutch Novib - now part of the Oxfam group - is a government-funded aid organisation, and in turn it funded the activities of Human Rights Watch Africa in the Great Lakes region and Angola. Oxfam itself is primarily funded by the British government and the European Union, see their annual report. It is also funded by the United States Agency for International Development, USAID. Oxfam in turn partly funds Novib, so some of that money finds it way to HRW. Both Oxfam and Novib funded the HRW report on the Rwanda genocide. So, if it is as accurate as HRW's claim not to accept any indirect government funding, look elsewhere for the truth."
Interesting, so Human Rights Watch was already caught lying about their own finances. Even more interesting is the donors of $100,000 or more:
Dorothy and Lewis Cullman
The Aaron Diamond Foundation
Irene Diamond
The Ford Foundation
The Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett Fund
Estate of Anne Johnson
The J. M. Kaplan Fund
The Fanny and Leo Koerner Charitable Trust
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
The John Merck Fund
The Joyce Mertz-Gilmore Foundation
Novib, The Dutch Organization for Development Corporation,
The Overbrook Foundation
Oxfam
Donald Pels
The Ruben and Elisabeth Rausing Trust
The Rockefeller Foundation
Marion and Herbert Sandler, The Sandler Family Supporting Foundation
Susan and George Soros
Shelby White and Leon Levy
What you see here is kind of the "elite" of the USA. Notably is amoung these mentioned before and George Soros, who co-financed some of the NEDs "colored revolutions" for example the Ford Foundation. James Petras already claimed in 2001, that the CIA considers foundations such as Ford "The best and most plausible kind of funding cover".

This fits perfectly of the picture of the NED as the official successor of the CIAs civil war PSYOP branch. Any more questions left who is behind "Human Rights Watch"?
For example have a look at Richard Parsons, board director of CNN owner Time Warner, who was in earlier times lawyer for the staff of the then New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Funny that The Rockefeller Foundation is also on the list of large donators to HRW. Have some fun finding out more details about the puppet HRW and it's puppeteers.
