MALAYSIAN CIVIL SOCIETY MUST SEVER NED FUNDING TO BE CREDIBLE ( by Kua Kia Soong, SUARAM Adviser, 30.8.2021)
It is painful to watch Malaysian NGOs squirming their way out of justifying NED funding for their activities. The NGO I belong to, SUARAM used to receive funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) until the organisation was exposed as a CIA “soft power” front for the US government several years ago. Knowing the blood-drenched “regime changing” record of th...

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan should explain its dependence on funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), says Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) adviser Kua Kia Soong.Inside America's Meddling Machine: NED, the US-Funded Org Interfering in Elections Across the Globe
“It is up to Pakatan Harapan to explain their dependence on NED funding if they can,” he said in a statement on Facebook yesterday.
Daniel Twining, the president of the International Republican Institute (IRI) revealed three years ago that they – through NED – had been funding the Opposition in Malaysia since 2002.
NED is a non-governmental organisation in the United States that was founded in 1983 for promoting democracy in other countries by developing political groups, trade unions, deregulated markets and business associations.
Twining allegedly told a forum in 2018 that the IRI, with funds from the NED, had worked to strengthen Malaysian opposition parties and its efforts paid off when Pakatan Harapan won the 14th General Election.
Kua also urged all NGOs in the country to stop accepting funds from NED to remain credible.
Kua said Suaram used to receive funding from the NED until the organisation was exposed as a CIA “soft power” front for the US government several years ago.
“Knowing the blood-drenched ‘regime changing’ record of the CIA in so many third world countries since 1947, we could not continue receiving funds from such a dubious source for our own credibility.”
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a veteran anti-China foundation financed by the US government, has been discovered to have spent more than $10 million to fund secessionist organizations and subversive activities in China in 2020. In the financial statements published on NED's website in February, at least 69 programs and activities related to secessionists and anti-China forces received grants in the past year, maliciously interfering in China's internal affairs using pretexts like human rights and religious freedom.
NED is notorious for propagating anti-China propaganda and meddling in other countries' internal affairs. Funding for this self-proclaimed private, nonprofit organization, which largely comes from the US Congress, has long been funneled to secessionists in China's Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Taiwan regions, observers have found.
Allen Weinstein, the co-founder of NED, told The Washington Post back in 1991 that "a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA."
The foundation - once behind some covert operations in Eastern Europe in the 1980s and 1990s - now plays a major role in the infiltration and penetration of US-sponsored hostile Western forces into China, said Cao Wei, an expert on security studies at Lanzhou University.
"Their aim is to contain China's development and rise," Cao told the Global Times.
NED's spending on splitting and subverting China in 2020. Graphic: GT
Supporting Hong Kong rioters
On its website, NED published the list of grants for China in 2020 covering four main regions: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Tibet Autonomous Region, and the rest of the Chinese mainland. With a total of $10.2 million, the grant funding in 2020 was much higher than the $6 million it unabashedly spent in these regions in 2019, the Global Times found.
Hong Kong seemed to be an investment priority for NED in 2020, with more than $2 million in grants being targeted to at least 11 anti-China organizations and projects in the region that year, the NED's website revealed.
The National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) and the International Republican Institute (IRI), two major US-based organizations included on China's sanctions list for supporting anti-China forces to create chaos and engage in extremist, violent and criminal acts in Hong Kong, unsurprisingly became recipients of grants by NED once again in 2020.
NED gave the Hong Kong teams of NDI and IRI $350,000 each in 2020, which are the two largest recipients in Hong Kong.
Angelo Giuliano, a Hong Kong affairs observer from Switzerland, told the Global Times the US government has always adopted a strategy of funding NGOs, instructing them to "help" particular countries to change course into more "civil societies," which is, in actuality, a blatant attempt at interfering in the internal affairs of other countries or even subverting their administrations.
NDI's key members reportedly met rioters in Hong Kong to support the violence there. Adam Nelson, a senior program manager of NDI's Asia team, met some of the leaders of the Hong Kong rioters in December 2019 at a local restaurant. The organization's president, Derek Mitchell, was also seen talking with riot leader Anson Chan Fang On-sang in Hong Kong one day in November 2019, just after the region's council elections ended, local media reported.
NED was actively seeking foreign allies for the Hong Kong rioters, in addition to providing funding. The foundation said it spent more than $75,000 in the name of building international solidarity and support for Hong Kong in 2020, openly interfering with China's internal affairs with foreign forces.
NED increased its investment in Hong Kong after the "Occupy Central" movement in 2014. It spent an average of $450,000 every year on the city to instigate acts of sabotage between 2015 and 2018, according to the local news outlet wenweipo.com.
"NED is only the tip of the iceberg, the visible side," Giuliano told the Global Times. There is probably more hidden and complex financing when it comes to Hong Kong, which may have started even before the 1997 handover," he said, suggesting the logic behind it is the US' increasing fear of China and some complex practical interests.
Making waves in Xinjiang and Tibet
China's Xinjiang and Tibet regions are major regions where the US' anti-China forces attempted to make waves in 2020. NED spent $1.25 million in Xinjiang and $1 million in Tibet to support secessionist groups and activities there, according to the financial disclosures it published on its website on January 25.
More than half of its Xinjiang-related grants went to the notorious separatist organization, World Uyghur Congress (WUC), and its Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) in 2020, the Global Times found.
Based in Munich, the US-backed WUC, which was reportedly found to be linked to terrorist groups, aims to split Xinjiang from China and this goal has never changed, Weinsheimer, a German scholar on China's ethnic groups, told the Global Times.
In February 2020, WUC triggered widespread anger after using photos of some Xinjiang locals to spread rumors during the 43rd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. The group printed many photos of Uygur people and concocted false allegations, alleging they were detained or had gone missing in Xinjiang.
One of the persons in the photos happened to be Halat Abudurehman, a friend of Mahemuti Abuduwaili, deputy director of the institute of history at the Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences, who was then also in Geneva. Mahemuti told the Global Times that he was surprised to see his friend's photo there. He later called Halat and found the latter was on a walk.
UHRP was active in spreading the recent mass rape allegations against Xinjiang, which involved a woman named Tursunay Ziawudun who claimed to have been gang-raped in a county in Xinjiang. However, the interviews she gave to Western media before did not include allegations of rape or harsh treatment.
UHRP helped Tursunay get to the US where she applied to stay, BBC reported in February. After UHRP stepped in, Tursunay began to claim to have been raped in training centers in Xinjiang.
NED and the separatist groups it funded in Xinjiang invoke human rights and democracy as a cover, but their actions and activities of maligning the Chinese government and deceiving the world have exposed their real political intentions for dividing China and disrupting Xinjiang region's development, Cao Wei remarked.
What NED kept doing in Tibet follows the same old gimmick, said Wang Hongwei, a professor at Renmin University of China's School of Public Administration and Policy.
"Its grants were used to finance the NGOs that explicitly support 'Tibetan independence,' and to foster illegal publications, broadcasts, or media that keep distorting the history and current situation of Tibet on international public opinion stage," Wang told the Global Times.
Infamous separatist organizations, including the Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), and the Tibet Justice Center (TJC) were on NED's 2020 grants list.
Based in India, TCHRD has frequently accused the Chinese government of arresting people in Tibet, which were proved to be no more than baseless attacks.
The US-based TJC was once turned down by the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. TJC aimed to split China and its separatist activities had gravely violated the purposes and principles of the Charter of the UN, said Zhang Yishan, then Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the UN.
Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) was one of the organizations that received more funding from NED in 2020. It got $150,000 under the grant category: strengthening the Tibetan movement - campaigning, training, and strategic organizing. This US-based separatist group was found to have participated in the deadly March 14 riots in Lhasa in 2008, according to China's public security authority.
A more flexible, covert strategy
NED's grant information also showed the anti-China forces' attempt of further infiltrating the Chinese mainland in 2020.
The foundation spent at least $5.8 million in funding more than 30 institutes and projects targeting the mainland, including a $1.2 million grant used to defame the Chinese government on an international scale under the guise of "freedom of expression," observers found.
Among those on NED's long grants list, the organization Solidarity Center (SC) appears to have received more than $1 million to "raise workers' rights awareness," and the US-based secessionist news site, China Digital Times, collected a grant of $125,000.
The data on NED's regional funding and financial statements reveals it has a clear plan and strategy for containing China, Cao Wei said.
Compared with other more intense struggles, the strategy of encouraging these ideologically biased organizations to promote rogue political movements, or to incite hatred under the banner of safeguarding rights, is now more likely to be used by Western anti-China forces, said Cao.
"The strategy is more flexible and covert, less costly, but very effective," he told the Global Times. "It may cause social unrest and even lead to a color revolution in serious cases."
Wang pointed out that NED's primary mission is to serve US foreign policy interests, and a very important part of that mission is to obstruct countries that threaten the US by agitating internal conflicts to weaken and defeat them.
NED has used tactics such as propping up the opposition in general elections or venting at scandals by the ruling party during elections, funding illegal publications, broadcasts and media, and leading figures in the opposition to create images of persecuted heroes to generate public sympathy, Wang said. "All of these tactics have been used on China in recent years," he told the Global Times.
Cao suggested Chinese authorities should actively implement laws and regulations on the management of foreign NGOs and strengthen international cooperation, cutting off the channels of collusion between anti-Chinese forces and their external links, and preventing the formation of rumor mills and fake news proliferation globally.
In recent years, the Chinese government has imposed sanctions on important figures tied to NED, amended the laws on the management of foreign NGOs and counterintelligence, which have achieved certain results, observers said.
Apart from reinforcing the oversight of NGOs in China, Wang suggested the Chinese government strengthen ideological education for people to be more confident in the country and avoid being easily tricked by rumors and slander, he said.
Watch the start of the above video carefully. See the tall 6+ ft Caucasian guy easily grab the Policeman from behind first. Then he goes away. The HK rioters then rush in to beat up the Policeman, grabbing his baton, etc almost grabbing his gun. All these done in seconds. These are not ordinary HK protesters but are well trained to injure the Police, cause a loss of Police morale, create chaos that makes it difficult or almost impossible for HK Gov/Police to control. Objective is to have these riots, chaos spread to other Chinese cities, and ultimately lead to collapse of the China gov.
The same process for the Soviet Union starting with the destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989, that eventually led to the total collapse of the Soviet Union, destroying the USA's only other super power competitor then.
Now that China is economically strong, advancing rapidly technologically with adequate financial resources to build up military capabilities rapidly, the stakes are even bigger for the USA to destroy China, using HK as a "beach head" in military terms, as HK has free movement of people and has no need to build up strong local surveillance of potential terrorists, rebels or foreign instigators. Not difficult for CIA/NED agents to be employed as international school teachers, sports coaches etc.
HK gov needs to rapidly build up local Police surveillance to identify and arrest these foreign agents, preempt more training of HK people, young and older ones to become rioters, that seek to physically and organisationally destroy HK day to day functioning as a city.
China's Beijing probably is aware of the repeat of Soviet Union act II targeted at China. Hence they are tightening their monitoring and control of Muslim population as these are likely ground forces that will be trained and groomed by the CIA/NED, if not already taking place. There are credible reports that both al-Qaeda and ISIS are trained and funded by the CIA/NED to fulfill its targeted national security objectives. So utilising Muslims in China is an easy channel.
This is the real war of modern times, where regime change in many countries in recent decades were brought about without US & Allied Forces having to send in actual uniform troops.... But troops that are incognito to the naive and innocent local people that are manipulated to act unbelievably aggressively and thoughtlessly as is now evident in HK.
HK gov needs to change their belief if so, that this is just another ordinary protests as they have experienced in recent years. Its a new war!
Top confidential: US President instructs CIA to abandon Hong Kong (Translated)
Just a small policeman got a message that is absolutely super confidential: US President Trump recently issued an order to the CIA to ask for abandonment of Hong Kong.
Why did the US president issue such an order? After all, Hong Kong is very important to the United States, especially the CIA. Hong Kong is a pawn for China in the hands of the United States. It is also the home base for the CIA’s intelligence war against China.
A small centre in Hong Kong, CIA has more than 1,000 staff! This is unique for the CIA's global layout! Therefore, we can imagine how Hong Kong is important to the United States, especially the CIA.
Bai Bangrui, a Chinese affairs adviser to the US Department of Defense, publicly admitted in the face of a reporter's question about the riots in Hong Kong: There are indeed many US agencies who plan to promote green activities in Hong Kong (actually riots). It is the unshakable national policy of the US government to push China into chaos by encouraging colored revolution through organised green mob disobedience and unrest.
Therefore, the main reason for the riots in Hong Kong that lasted for more than two and a half months was that the US government, mainly the CIA and CIA's substitute NED, planned, organized and directed behind the scenes. The purpose of the CIA is actually very simple. It is to achieve three goals by creating a mess in Hong Kong.
The first goal is to continue to promote the coloured revolution"through green mob disobedience and unrest" signifying that there is a large organised opposition towards China's policies.
The second purpose is short-term, which is to gain more weight in the trade war against China by creating a messy distraction in Hong Kong.
The third purpose is to be that at anytime, they would be a continuing and growing sympathy support for the green rioters to create disobedience and this is on long term a basis to draw the negative reactions of the Chinese government when the situation turn chaotic in Hong Kong.
It should be said that before this, the first goal of the US government has been fully achieved, while the second goal is only half completed, and the third goal is still out of reach!
However, since the chaos of Hong Kong, the situation has got out of control of the US government, and the weight is about to become a burden, making the US government very anxious. They could not control the drug rioters or other crimnals who had their own agendas.
Therefore, we have seen that US President Trump is very disappointed with the results of CIA’s actions in Hong Kong. Therefore, when he faced the international media, he used the term “thugs” against Hong Kong drug elements and claimed that this was China’s internal affairs.
Therefore, we have seen that the US Secretary of Commerce is also extremely disappointed with the situation in Hong Kong today. His reply to the politician’s request for the US government to openly intervene in Hong Kong was that he said, "Do we invade Hong Kong?"
The US CIA agents who were in the front line of the Hong Kong mobs saw the atrocities of the Hong Kong drug rioters who went out of control. The agents were forced to come out from behind the scenes and head to the frontline. Many agents were exposed.
Even the identity of the head of the CIA in Hong Kong has been exposed! This is an extreme scandal and extreme failure for the CIA!
In particular, the Hong Kong drug rioters violently attacked a mainland tourist at the airport and hit the tourist into coma. The CIA agent, who was in charge of the command, was watching closely the tourists that the rioters wanted to attack. He did not succeed in stopping the atrocities. In the end, he had to go out and personally protect the mainland tourists.
Of course, this is by no means the kindness of the CIA agents. In the CIA's plan, the first thing is if a 'colour' rioter dies, it will become Hong Kong's poison. Now it's a waste against their plan, and by no means the plan can be achieved if the victim is an innocent civilian.
If the victim is not a green rioter, it cannot be used as a Hong Kong poison, it just a waste. Otherwise, the US government can launch propaganda machines, lead international public opinion to discredit the Chinese government, put pressure on the Chinese government, impose sanctions, and then acquire weapons for trade wars against China in a short period of time. In the long run, it will win support to help promote the "color revolution" against China!
However, if the first death incident is the death of an non green victim; just civilians or journalists from Hong Kong, and if it can be seen as the work of CIA, it also can be construed that the CIA was the one behind-the-scenes of the murders. Then CIA's reputation will go completely bankrupt worldwide.
Therefore, CIA agents will be forced to jump out to "protect" the civilians who have been violently attacked by the Hong Kong drug rioters.
Therefore, the development of the situation in Hong Kong had gone out of hand contrary to what the CIA wanted. However, for the CIA, this is not the worst!
For the CIA, the most unsatisfying situation is coming.
Hong Kong poisoning in the inhumane violence against mainland tourists, beating lynching mainland reporters, and then inverting black and white on the international network for high-density publicity, these acts angered the mainland's audience.
So what made the US government withdrew? They didn't want to see the worse from happening was an international public opinion from changing that what the Chinese government did not do was done by the young rioters.
This is the "814 big action of the rice circle girl", "the emperor 817 big expedition" and "overseas students surrounded by the Hong Kong poison"!
These young Chinese people, even teenaged girls, who are mainly born after the years of 90s and 2000, are eager to stand out from the patriotic ideals and beliefs. The had gone out to the international public opinion field to speak for the country. Maintain a united national stand.
We know that these two sudden online battlefields and real live battlefields have won forvthe Chinese people an overwhelming victory. It is not only to make the overseas network full of five-star red flags, but also to let some anti-China media directly stop their comments. In international circumstances, the conspiracy and shamelessness of Hong Kong drug elements were exposed.
One thousand CIAs can't think of it. The Hong Kong chaos they planned has inspired the young people of China to have such a strong patriotic enthusiasm and patriotic conviction!
What is the core of the "color revolution" promoted by the CIA? The core is to win the hearts and minds of other countries through rumors and smearing, and thus break through from the inside to achieve the purpose of subverting the political power of other countries.
However, the chaos in Hong Kong not only failed to win the hearts and minds of the people they thought would support them, but also indirectly drew out a very vivid patriotic thinking to the Chinese, especially the young people in China So that Chinese people, especially young people, saw the true CIA sponsored "color revolution." "The scam behind the truth!"
It has inspired the Chinese people's strong patriotic enthusiasm and united the Chinese people unprecedentedly! The most important thing is that the most patriotic enthusiasm is actually the Chinese young people whom the CIA have been trying very hard to brainwash, to fool. But, they know who, what or how to fight for, as the future owners of China!
The "color revolution" of the US government against China has completely gone bankrupt in essence!
Their original plan had become a gift to China! Americans, now regret it!
Although China is currently suffering from the riots in Hong Kong, it has gained such a strong patriotic enthusiasm from the Chinese, especially the young people. It is definitely far more than a loss! CIA, there is an assistance of God in China!
Therefore, US President Trump is definitely very angry and very dissatisfied with the CIA's defeat. It is the reason why of course he ordered the CIA to stop activities in Hong Kong!
And these young people who bravely stood up to defend national honor and national security on the Internet are the most powerful guarantee for China's rapid development and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the future!
They are the growing young generation who are born to be strong, national, and confident Chinese!

NED, the US-Funded Org Interfering in Elections Across the Globe
https://youtu.be/NzIJ25ob1aA
In this Grayzone special, Max Blumenthal attends a Capitol Hill gathering of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and explores the group's destabilizing global campaign to meddle in other countries' affairs. The report covers the NED's interference in foreign elections in Russia and Mongolia, its participation in coup attempts from Haiti to Venezuela to Nicaragua, and its escalating public relations efforts against China and North Korea.
I suspected that the Hong Kong riots were funded by outside interests. Now that I know about the NED I would not be surprised if they were heavily involved.
The latest NED atrocity is the violent riots in HK, aimed to prevent China from extraditing criminals to stand trail in China. The stupids in HK fell for it, heralding doom to their safety and prosperity. without the law, HK will continue to be a dream safe heaven for international criminals.
Sadly most people are 🐑 and care more about America's Got Talent and Big Brother updates than neocon psyops and power plays. I sometimes wish I could be blissfully ignorant like them.
The inimitable Mr. Max Blumenthal strikes again! Well done! This is phenomenal investigative documentary journalism, as informative as it is watchable.
How can anyone still believe a word that comes out of the bankers' owned corporate media. It is an obvious propaganda tool. Nothing more. You'd have to be willfully blind to still believe their stories.
Excellent video Grayzone. Really well done and researched. Thank you very much for your amazing and really important work.
China recently executed many CIA agents trying to undermine their government. The South Korean and North Korean gov should likewise do to these foreign agents.
After seeing how Western media distorted the true picture in the recent Hong Kong riots, I believe what you say is true. Thanks for standing up for the truth!
This is just one of the many videos showing what the so-called peaceful demonstrators did. But the Western media called this a peaceful demonstration. If this had happened in USA the rioters would have been shot by the national guards.https://youtu.be/l-OkMoAznqI
@22:09 "Are you Sidney Blumenthal's son?" = "Are you that terrible Jewish person I keep hearing about?"
The last 5 minutes, the way you wrapped up all the reporting at the beginning, was brilliant Max. The ending was icing. You damn "Sidney Blumenthal's Son" you.
West has some of the biggest psychopathic maniacs the world has ever seen, they are an abomination, nature gone wrong !
Whether it is neocons, zionists, sociopaths, Christian Zionists, military industry, wow the list is endless !
So important, Thank you Max!
The unelected power establishment needs to be held responsible and pushed to the light. I mean, how can the Chairman of the NED say "We're for open societies" and still work with taxpayer money of people who don't have a clue where their tax money is going to? It's the opposite of "open" government. It's shady!
I always have faith in Max's reports. Sometimes I wish I didn't. The Nancy Pelosi "interview" (20:24) was just sooo embarrassing. "I don't know what they do..." Where do people find hope for the future?
Great documentary, really respect your work. On another note, you should try to investigate Middle Eastern media outlets such as Radio Sawa and Al-Hurra (which are both funded by the US government). Maybe they have something to do with NED and IRI's Middle Eastern agenda since they're both pushing pro-American as well as pro-Israeli narratives on their respective media platforms.
I learned about NED when I researched the violent riots in HK. This is a shameful organization with objectives to instill riots and instability in other countries. Shameful!!!
Appreciates your afford on this reporting. It's paint a picture bigger on what happening with HK right. Another NED play toy which create conflict between HK and China.
Thanks for sharing the truth. I am feeling very sad that some evil people
In the US are causing so much grief for so many people throughout
various parts of the world.
They are terrified of Max! Those in the room that don't know him don't know what they are in for, they are flirting with peril. Brilliant Socratic dialogue with the ignorant ones!
Thanks for the information. I never heard of NED. I knew the U.S.'s corrupt methods of controlling politics globally was happening. I don't call it "meddling" that's too mild a word for it. I just wasn't sure exactly how "we" did it.
I love you Max Blumenthal, your journalism is real. It is a source of inspiration to, for once, have someone who undoubtedly delivers the truth to the masses.
I've long held that the US is effectively the world's largest, and most destructive, TERRORIST organization! Real journalism is proving me right all along...
Max (to NED official) : "May I ask you a question?" / NED: "Are you Sidney [Blumenthal]'s son?" / Max: "Yes." / NED: "I heard about you." / Max: "Is that a no?" / NED: "Yes."
Some badge of honor!! Bravo, Max Blumenthal!! Great work!!
As Ret Col L. Wilkerson put it in a nutshell (para): Right now we have two colossal battles going on between two titanic state-building efforts: one started in 1947, coming to fruition in the cold war, and now called by scholars, “The National Security State.” And the raison d’etre of that state is to have war… constant war… to keep the Military Industrial Complex, that Eisenhower warned us about, rich and bountiful!
On the other hand, you have the Koch inspired… and now the well-fueled predatory capitalistic state which is aiming at making capitalism ballistic and so forth and making billionaires the plutocrats that rule this country!
Those two states right now, having contiguous elements…that is to say the Military Industrial Complex – a company like Lockheed Martin – will be in the predatory capitalist state and vice versa. They are having a titanic struggle though, intellectually and realistically, on the ground as to who runs this country in the future. And NEITHER STATE HAS THE REMOTEST CONCERN FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS, OR ABOUT FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY OR LIBERTY! They ONLY HAVE CONCERN FOR THEIR STATE-BUILDING EFFORTS: the one - leading to more wealth for fewer people, and the other – leading to more war and wealth to their people. [The “Permanent War State” Aims to Plunder Venezuela - Wilkerson and Jay @fjsA]
See if you can run the audio through a compressor to automatically equalize the sound levels. This is very important work. Now for the easy part. Your video software may already have "compress/expand" and "normalize" for audio. You'll be experts in 10 minutes if you practice on small clips.
Thank you Greyzone!
Thank you so much for your hard work and courage to show us the truth. Real journalism like this is truly rare and precious in the world today. Thank you! Thank you!
Max,..will you please run for president!? Thank you for your dedication to presenting the 'stubborn facts',...that the american government tries so hard to conceal behind their flimsy and unsubstantiated veil of 'democracy', and 'freedom and justice for all'. The Empire wears no cloths,....Thank you Max, and all at Grayzone.

I've been studying a lot of this stuff for some time now, I didnt know the group was called NED but I knew about things like this, didn't realize what a specific and massive role they've played. The part where the founder says "I know about you..." is kind of ominous.
If you havent worked it out the CIA and America are their to put right wing pro corporate govts in charge to take the power from the workers and people and to privatise the world with the ultra wealthy corporates in charge of all the means of production and resources. And in the end the ultimate power and control of everyone.
The whole Yeltsin affair is the reason why I laugh at the US's whole debacle of "Russian interference". Good riddance, have a taste of your own medicine.
Same companies are censoring alternative medicine, NIH-sourced science, natural alternatives to pharma and education about mandatory medical procedures ... government-mandated injection of toxins with no valid science to defend the practice but a massive marketing campaign to create fear (measles or N Korea ... same mechanisms!)
That guy gave a shout out to your dad!
I have been a fan of Max Blumenthal for a while, but now I have to look up mr. Sidney Blumenthal, because I can already tell he is the kind of guy I will like!
Thanks so much for this riveting, informative programme , the question is how and do we really need scum like we have running our countries, are having psychos necessary ingredient for running countries.
Keep exposing these blood sucking vampires, keep doing the great work you do. Very illuminating video, lots of things to talk about this evening that's for sure. Btw, I just subscribed.
You guys do a phenomenal job here at the Grayzone. Just about every video I've watched has been fantastic. However, I would quibble about a couple things on this one, largely on strategic grounds. I don't think it's a good look to, at the beginning of this video, refer to the NED as a "taxpayer-funded organization...that aims to topple socialist governments" and then spend much of the rest of the video documenting the NED's efforts to undermine the governments of North Korea and Nicaragua. It seems to imply that the current North Korean and Nicaraguan regimes are socialist, when in fact they are nothing of the sort, unless one strains the definition of "socialist" so much that the term becomes meaningless. Both regimes are enemies of the left and any kind of genuine socialism. I suspect you would agree with this assessment, but I think it would help enormously if you stated this fact up front in order to defend your work against disingenuous attack dogs.
I want to stress that I have no problem with the substance of what's presented here, most of which is excellent, but when putting together these pieces, it's important to take measures to protect yourself from mainstream mudslinging, which I'm sure will become more and more often as you guys gain popularity. Keep up the good work!
...”but... but there’s only one channel on tv... and no internet”...
Good god child... you’ve no idea how fortunate that is...
“but North Korea is such a horrible country”
...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
When you defect from your socialist country and can't find a job in the US the NED might be a great place to look. Outstanding report Max. Just be ready for the inevitable lay-off and a new role as human furniture for corporate business.
It is prudent to consider American info as tainted. America needs a USSR, they can use it to frighten their taxpayers.
Weather Communism is good or bad depends on how life was, before. Most countries become communist after a period of extreme poverty, and extreme injustice. Russia, China, Cuba, Vietnam …. and more. Think about all of these countries prior to becoming Communist / Socialist.
That is what's happened in Macedonia as well and they are working there with years, they corrupted politicians professors people of every segment of the society, media and everything with one purpose to make a fake picture, people to be brainwashed so many things in the country to be changed in their own interest even if that means change of the legal elected government which is happened 2016 in Macedonia with obvious influence of the American ambassador in judicial and legal matters.Now the new government is doing everything what they said they're not going to do before the elections now they have opened new TV station under control and plus most of the old one's.
Many people of the American administration are involved including SOROS open society
the most convincing argument for Max's story is that there is no way he could be making this shit up. Which says volumes about those individuals who believe it. Thank you Max, would that it would penetrate the thick fog of western imperialist propaganda
Seeing this video for the first time. All the usual suspects are involved: Thor Halversson and his 'Freedom forum', which Jimmy Dore exposed last year (that's when I first heard of them); Bari Weiss, who was exposed by Joe Rogan earlier this year when she tried to smear Tulsi. Thanks to excellent reporting like this, I don't take any testimony by anyone on matters of war and peace and human rights on face value anymore. I have started to always research who is behind these stories, who pays them, where does funding come from etc. Thanks for making me aware of this!
Our government is elected by the people, the best political system in the world and you must have it. We’ll help you get it but first you must do everything we say. We’re not interested in controlling you because our aim is the world. Oh yes, we’re NOT authoritarian so you can trust us!!! SURE America!!!
Nancy P. Has not seen real tragic and staggering poverty yet, till she comes down to ground zero of Vancouver BC’s East Hastings Street, there she will witness eye-burning and heart-wrenching poverty caused by the city/province. Seems everyone wants to cash in on politics and made up suffering tales. Nice.
free lunch is usually costly... the price of this particular free lunch is your soul and always be ready to be dumped like a piece of toilet paper when you are no more needed! never sell your soul to nobody - not demon, not god, not rich, not poor. souls ain’t for sale. lunches ain’t for free.
Do not like the WORD GESTAPO... NAZI....

In my Granfather Time...
In Alsace-Lorraine.... Part of France Now...
So,,,, SO called Free Democracy USA..
Is Doing ,,, Exactly the Same..
These People look like ....
SALUTATIONS
Yeonmi Park said her father died of cancer. Her mother said paid 2 people Carrie body was a lie she said she buried body in another interview Yeonmi said she buried ashes an other video Yeonmi Park said her mother went back to china get ashes that Yeonmi Park said on One Young World she buried in secret. Fabricated stories Yeonmi Park is telling.
Russia and China, as part of the Allied Forces, lost 47 million people stopping Hitler.
They are currently gathering a new Allied Forces, to stop the new Empire in town: the US/NATO Empire...taking over more land than Hitler ever dreamed of. WW3 unfolding before our eyes.
Who will join the Allied Forces? Who will join the US Empire?
US Empire is a mirror image of what happened in Germany as WW2 unfolded.
Honestly I can see the fear in the eyes of those who promote or direct in any way NED, when you question them...how they run away from you, because you uphold the truth, and therefore they see you as a vampire sees a silver bullet.
" the truth will set you free"...
It is still quite shocking to me that my media in the UK and the American media and the Canadian, German, French, Dutch, Swedish...all of the ''free'' world's establishment media (and much of the rest) is full of shit. It really can't be trusted.
there're north korean working in chinese kidnapped by south korean and forced to make false testimony about north korea. basically everything on msm about north korea is pure lie.
I don't know what Is worse. living in North Korea with Kim jug on, or here with Trump, and his crazy war monger's. the wrong #Amazon Is burning, and the wrong Ice is melting. thanks Wonka Luv'z y'all anyway.
You can have democracy, but once u have the democratic model like those of West and US, you will be always be under their world order, never to outdo them. Guess which country know this and thus was attacked by US and the West , day in , day out. I ask u, would u like a cobbler to become the CEO of a global company? Of course not, look at those ctries which followed the democratic model of US! A comedian become the President of Ukraine!A dishonest , a bankrupt , businessman, becomes the President of the most powerful ctry in the world!
americas whole foreign policy is based on liar testimony. every aspect of what goes on in washington is based on lies and half truths, both foreign and domestic.
In the western world there is so much economic inequality - so should these countries like Russia - China - Korea and some other countries get together and creat NEEE - National endowment for economic equality
just like NED
Its a terrible shame that Blumenthal pushes the lie that Trotsky somehow is responsible for the Neo cons. People that he cites are people who REJECTED Trotsky.. even though they may have once come from groups that thought of themselves as Trotskyist. Trotsky always defended and supported
the Soviet Union ..his critique of Stalin gets turned by people like Blumenthal into him being anti Socialist...and Anti Soviet. Some of the people he mentions did become anti Soviet and moved on to becoming players for the Neo Cons and Israel. Others Like the disgusting International Socialists ( ISO) turned to calling the Soviet Union just another form of Capitalism and even opposed the heroic Cuban troops that defeated South Africa in Angola...calling them an imperialist occupation force. More genuine Trotskyist Leninist's like the Spartacist League , with all their faults...praised the Cubans..and fought against Solidarnosc..they were hated by the liberal left and the ISO for this. It is just WRONG that Blumenthal and so many others push this lie and advance the falsification of history by doing so. I otherwise support much of his fine work.
you misquoted, the North Korean girl did not say she escaped with her mother only at 5:45. why r u lying? and you edited the video at that part, some screens are being cut as well.
You won't be able to get away with amazing infiltrations like this for long if they are properly dispersed among civilians. It is great that you used it to such strong effect. Keep defining yourselves and achieving such needed distinction within journalistic integrity.
Elizabeth Taylor, thank you so much for this Max, I'd never heard at all about this dreadful group tho they badly affected things I was very interested in and cared about a lot, like Nicaragua 1990.
Thank you for my government who like to interfere other countries for democratic???? Humans right???? I can tell HK peaceful rioters???? I want to join this good pay job.????? God bless America
Max be careful. Look what happened to Epstein. Almost everything which could go allegedly went wrong and Epstein was eliminated. Who knows may be Killary and her seven pervert dwarfs did it but one is for sure that he knew so much that they feared him and were desperate making up such a story. So be careful my friend in the criminal states of zionazimerica. It is like the daughter of ambassador of kuwait before the Iraq war. Those who claim that others are dictator are themselves the real dictators. Those coup makers got busted in Turkey 2015. Not anymore, said Turkish people.
Some facts are obvious: if the "blankist faces" she ever saw were the N Koreans Pelosi obviously must be dozing off in Congress - the drone, I guess.
And since Kuwait, the ante has been raised on ghoulish atrocities requiring R2P attention: an invasion over incubators and now producing babies for hungry dogs!. Don't think I can stomach the next fantasy.
