Replying to Callum

Two links from 2013 examining funding links of the nostr:nprofile1qqs0rxy6jmt44guxkny8z4pkym9mxckqxfytygxuntjn6l80hj409sgpzfmhxue69uhky6t5wd6xzcmt9eshquqpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzamhxue69uhkxcfwdaexzmn8v4cxjmrv9ejx2asult5ph and the associated OFF :

> The story of the Oslo Freedom Forum is also a story of US right-wing sponsorship, lack of transparency and “heroes of human rights” involved in supporting serious human rights violations.

The truthout article references this earlier 2013 piece by Max Blumenthal :

As for amount of funding provided by Thiel, a BuzzFeed article states it as at least $900,000 to the HRF, but it is BuzzFeed so not sure about the accuracy. Thiel is also acknowledged on the OFF website as a founding funder (separate to his funding of the HRF) and organiser of the initial conference.

Not enough scrutiny of the HRF/OFf, its backers and its funding sources has been done since those early 2013 articles I linked above.

The largest gift we received from Peter in a calendar year was $100k. He has not given in more than 12 years. Our annual budget today is north of $20M. This is completely silly
