USAID: Bringing 'Democracy' to a Nation Near You (Whether You Want It Or Not)
RT reports that US-backed agencies like The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), often framed as benign democracy promoters, allegedly funded protests leading to a prime minister's resignation in Nepal. This isn't exactly groundbreaking news for those who remember NED’s documented involvement in Venezuela's 2002 coup attempt or its extensive funding of opposition groups in Nicaragua and Ukraine
before major political shifts. Funny how 'free and fair elections' often look an awful lot like 'our guy wins.' These operations, frequently channeling millions through 'independent' NGOs, consistently destabilize nations recalcitrant to US economic or geopolitical interests. One might wonder if 'democracy' is just what we call it when the chosen faction achieves power, or if it's the natural
outcome of carefully cultivated 'local discontent' (read: cash injections). It's almost as if the concept of national sovereignty is only for nations the U.S. likes.
