OMAHA, NEB, Jan 3 (LSN.ca) - Billionaire Warren Buffett, who has a reputation for giving charitably only to promote population control, has donated $134 million (US) of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. stock to unnamed charities. Buffet's noted investment prowess has recently taken a first-time sour turn and he issued a letter noting that the surrender of stock was a "donation" so as to counter speculation that he was dumping it.
Last March the Washington Times reported that the Buffett Foundation donated more than $7.5 million between 1994 and 1996 to population control efforts, and that it plans to "lavish the majority of its annual $100 million in grants on population programs" after Buffett's death. Buffett has also contributed to research on the RU-486 abortion pill and to such organizations as the devious Catholics for a Free Choice, the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy and Planned Parenthood.
