Georges Sabra, president of the Syrian National Council and later of the Syrian National Coalition, with french minister of Foreign Affairs, Laurent Fabius.

NED, the Legal Window of the CIA

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 16 August 2016
For 30 years, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has been sub-contracting the legal part of illegal CIA operations. Without rousing suspicions, it has put in place the biggest network of corruption in the world, bribing trade unions and management syndicates , political parties both on both the Right and Left so that they defend the interests of the United States instead of their members. In this article, Thierry Meyssan describes the extent of this system.

Hong Kong, Under the Umbrella

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 7 October 2014
Confronted by the “Umbrella Revolution” (a definition made in the USA) the British government is said to be “highly concerned” that “fundamental rights and liberties” are guaranteed in Hong Kong.
On this subject, London can provide a tutorial.
In the nineteenth century, to penetrate China, the English had recourse to trade in opium which they bring from India, causing tremendous economic and social damage. When the Chinese Authorities confiscate and burn the opium stored at Canton, English (...)

Putin, a thorn in Washington’s flesh

by F. William Engdahl

Frankfurt (Germany) | 9 January 2012
Vladimir Putin is one of the few world leaders capable of rattling the foundations of U.S. hegemony: military dominance and the dollar’s supremacy as reserve currency. Engdahl shows that the recent election protests in Russia were orchestrated by Washington-sponsored NGOs and their domestic agents in an unsuccessful attempt to destabilize the country. With the rapid erosion of U.S. global dominance, Engdahl warns that the neutralization of Russia and other recalcitrant states will again be on the agenda of the next White House occupant.

by Madeleine K. Albright

7 November 2011
Thank you Ken, and congratulations on your continued superb leadership here at NDI [National Democracy Institute].
Excellencies from the diplomatic corps and Capitol Hill, distinguished guests from overseas, friends and supporters of NDI, good evening to you all.
Not long ago, when I was wondering what to say tonight, I noticed one of those newspaper articles we often see entitled, “Five Myths” about one topic or another; I think in this case it was the G-20.
Such articles usually attempt (...)

Cairo’s monitored transition

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 3 August 2011
The White House is promoting the bobo-revolution in Egypt. It honoured the memory of a young Egyptian entrepreneur who died for denouncing police corruption so as to better support the military dictatorship. What matters is not to change the social structures but to guarantee free enterprise and the use of the internet.

And this year’s NED award goes to…

John McCain Speech at NED dealing with regime change in Iran

by John McCain

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 10 June 2010
Thank you, Carl [Gershman], for that introduction—and for your leadership of the National Endowment for Democracy. Across the world, this institution is living up to the founding vision set for it three decades ago by my idol, Ronald Reagan. “The objective I propose,” Reagan said, “is quite simple to state: to foster the infrastructure of democracy, the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities, which allows a people to choose their own way, to develop their own culture, (...)

Washington is Playing a Deeper Game with China

by F. William Engdahl

13 July 2009
After the tragic events of July 5 in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, it would be useful to look more closely into the actual role of the US Government’s ”independent“ NGO, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). All indications are that the US, once more acting through its “private” NGO is massively intervening into the internal politics of China. Engdahl’s article ties in with Voltaire Network’s consistent reporting on the covert action of the NED and "sister" organizations aimed at destabilizing countries of strategic interest for Washington under the guise of liberty and democracy.

Reporters Without Borders and Washington’s Coups

by Diana Barahona, Jeb Sprague

Caracas (Venezuela) | 9 August 2006
British press baron Lord Northcliff said, "News is something that someone, somewhere wants to keep secret, everything else is advertising." If this is true, then U.S. government funding of Reporters Without Borders must be news, because the organization and its friends in Washington have gone to extraordinary lengths to cover it up.
