After reading u/Smellorama's recent post I decided to do some research into an NGO (that I never heard of) that was mentioned in the RT article. Seeing the name Victoria Nuland mentioned in the article peaked my interest.
So Nuland is retired from the federal government but I commented somewhere on here recently that I was sure she would show up. Turns out, she is on the Board of Directors for the National Endowment for Democracy . For those of you who don't know her, she is the queen of color revolutions/regime changes. Yes - she was involved in 2014 Ukraine.
Check out this blurb from NED's website:
NED is a unique institution. The Endowment’s nongovernmental character gives it a flexibility that makes it possible to work in some of the world’s most difficult circumstances, and to respond quickly when there is an opportunity for political change. NED is dedicated to fostering the growth of a wide range of democratic institutions abroad, including political parties, trade unions, free markets and business organizations, as well as the many elements of a vibrant civil society that ensure human rights, an independent media, and the rule of law.
Sounds like it fits her perfectly doesn't it?
Here is another blurb - this one is from their Statement of Principles and Objectives:
By its very nature such support cannot be governed by the short-term policy preferences of a particular U.S. administration or by the partisan political interests of any party or group. The Endowment keeps the Executive branch fully informed of its programs and solicits the views of relevant U.S. officials in Washington and in embassies abroad. As stated in the National Endowment for Democracy Act (P.L. 98-164), the Endowment is of course also subject to appropriate Congressional oversight and review. But as a private nongovernmental organization it sets its own policies and makes it own decisions.
Wow - sounds like a shadow government to me...
It gets better. Not only is Nuland on the BoD, but it is full of former - and current - government people, and other far-left places like Google, GWU, and a Union president. There are a LOT of former ambassadors. Current Rep Joaquin Castro (D-TX) is on the Board. Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Todd Young (R-IN) are honorary members. Interesting Sen Young is there and happens to be a never-Trumper.
Their "Democracy Stories" page shows all the places you would expect them to operate - China, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan - and I stopped there. I got tired of clicking "Load More".
One last blurb - this one from their FAQ section:
Q: Is NED part of the U.S. Government?
A: No. NED is a private, non-profit, grant-making organization that receives an annual appropriation from the U.S. Congress through the Department of State. Although NED’s continued funding is dependent on the continued support of the White House and Congress, it is NED’s independent Board of Directors that controls how the appropriation is spent.
So to me it looks like NED is staffed with deep state current and former players, gets money from the government, and spends it as they see fit. They seem to be there to do things the DS wants, without having to worry if a POTUS like Trump comes in and cancels international actions the DS wants. Their govt funding comes through the State Department, and if I had to guess I bet it is a hidden line item so only the DS knows where their money comes from. They can continue to do their color revolutions if one of their people is not in the POTUS seat. Yeah - a real shadow government.
One last thing. Russia called NED a second CIA. I searched and found out China feels the same way. Here is an article I uploaded to archive.org. Interesting, huh?
I hope Trump knows about NED and kills the funding...
NED is a CIA cutout to fund color revolutions safe other shenanigans
NED.
Flanders.
In Flanders fields where POPPIES grow.
Is this where that stupid East India company wandered off to?
The entire Bankster British Empire was built for the purpose of drug (and human) trafficking.
No doubt. What I wanna know is who the British were by that time?
It originally started with William the Conquerer who was financed by the Banksters in Normandy conquered Britain. But that plan fell apart when King Edward expelled the Jews from England in 1290.
The second phase of the plan started when Oliver Cromwell became the puppet for these Banksters and executed the Stuart King Charles I.
1666 - Great Fire of London cleared the city of london
1694 - Bank of England established
1697 - London Stock Exchange
With BoE and LSE, Britain became the financial controller of the world. This was then used to fund the imperial ambitions.
1714 - King George I from House of Hanover installed as British Bankster puppet king
1751 - Battle of Plassey won by the muderous psychopath known as Robert Clive, who officially established British Empire in the richest province in India - Bengal.
1837 - Queen Victoria assumed throne and took the imperial ambitions to the level her Bankster masters wanted
1876 - Victoria officially assumes the title "Empress of India"
So short answer to your question: "Banksters"
Definitely farther back than Florence and Portugal, then.
Will have to re-read on Cromwell.
I would suggest the book called The Nameless War. It should be available as PDF online.
Nice!
“Assume for a moment that a group of people controlled all means of communication, by which they wrote all forms of history.
Then assume those people wanted you, and most others, dead, and waged war against you.
What would the name of the war be called?”
NAME IT, O SON OF ADAM! FINISH YOUR FOREFATHER’S TASK!

Go take your propaganda elsewhere, Bill! We’re naming this clusterfrack!
Now do the ISW. (Institute of the Study of War)
The National Endowment for Democracy after DOGE gets ahold of it:
“NED’s dead, baby.”
We are Constitutional Republic. Be wary of anyone using the Democracy idiom.
BINGO!
These agencies and employees need to be banned from interfering in governments at home and abroad. Have they registered as a foreign agent? If they are receiving federal funding, defund them.
Good find OP.
It's right in their names. Just think the opposite.
