The British Intelligence Hand Behind the NED and Modern Color Revolutions

A few years ago, very few people understood the concept behind color revolutions.

Had Russia and China’s leadership not decided to unite in solidarity in 2012 when they began vetoing the overthrow of Bashar al Assad in Syria- followed by their alliance around the Belt and Road Initiative, then it is doubtful that the color revolution concept would be as well-known as it has become today.

At that time, Russia and China realized that they had no choice but to go on the counter offensive, since the regime change operations and colour revolutions orchestrated by such organizations as the CIA-affiliated National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Soros Open Society Foundations were ultimately designed to target them as those rose, orange, green or yellow revolution efforts in Georgia, Ukraine, Iran or Hong Kong were always recognized as weak points on the periphery of the threatened formation of a great power alliance of sovereign Eurasian nations that would have the collective power to challenge the power of the Anglo-American elite based in London and Wall Street.

China at least had the wits to ban Soros and his armada of Open Society Foundations after a failed regime change attempt occured in 1989 which was briefly outlined in the CP film ‘How China Banned Soros in 1989’ and my recent presentation ‘Tiananmen Square: Massacre or Failed Color Revolution?

Russia’s 2015 expulsion of 12 major conduits of color revolution included Soros’ Open Society Foundation as well as the NED was a powerful calling out of the enemy with the Foreign Ministry calling them “a threat to the foundations of Russia’s Constitutional order and national security”. This resulted in such fanatical calls by George Soros for a $50 billion fund to counteract Russia’s interference in defense of Ukraine’s democracy. Apparently the $5 billion spent by the NED in Ukraine was not nearly enough.[1]

In spite of the light falling upon these cockroaches, NED and Open Society operations continued in full force focusing on the weakest links the Grand Chessboard unleashing what has become known as a “strategy of tension”.

Venezuela, Kashmir, Kazakhstan, Bolivia, Belarus, Hungary, Georgia, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang (dubbed East Turkistan by NED) have all been targeted in recent years with millions of NED dollars pouring into separatist groups, labour unions, student movements and fake news “opinion shapers” under the guise of “democracy building”. $1.7 million in grants was spent by NED in Hong Kong since 2017 which was a significant increase from their $400,000 spent to coordinate the failed “Occupy HK” protest in 2014.

Some examples of NED-funded groups operational today include Spain-based human rights group Safeguard Defenders as outlined in the Canadian Patriot’s recent video debunking ‘Secret Chinese Police Stations’, Hong Kong Apple Daily, whose owner Jimmy Lai bankrolled the violent HK protests (and who has now found himself in jail for acting as a foreign agent), and the World Uyghur Congress as proven brilliantly by analyst Brian Berletic. But there are literally thousdands of groups on the NED payroll operating a global-assymetric warfare campaign against any government that doesn’t play along with “rules based international orderistas”.

Weeks after the military operations were launched in Ukraine, it was revealed that the National Endowment for Democracy erased all records of their years of work pouring money into Ukraine. In a March 7, 2022 report on Covert Action Magazine, Jeremy Kuzmarov wrote astutely that “the erasure of the NED’s records is necessary to validate the Biden administration’s big lie—echoed in the media—that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was “unprovoked.”

The Case of China

After months of coordinated chaos throughout 2019 funded and directed by western intelligence agencies, the Chinese government remarkably restrained posture, allowing the Hong Kong authorities to manage the situation with their police deprived of use of lethal weapons and even giving into the protestors’ demand that the changes to the extradition treaty that nominally sparked this mess be annulled.

As violence continued to grow, and as it became an increasing reality that some form of intervention from the mainland may occur to restore order, the British Foreign Office took an aggressive tone threatening China with “severe consequences” unless “a fully independent investigation” into police Brutality were permitted. The former Colonial Governor of China Christopher Patten attacked China by saying “Since president Xi has been in office, there’s been a crackdown on dissent and dissidents everywhere, the party has been in control of everything”.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded saying “the UK has no sovereign jurisdiction or right of supervision over Hong Kong… it is simply wrong for the British Government to exert pressure. The Chinese side seriously urges the UK to stop its interference in China’s internal affairs and stop making random and inflammatory accusations on Hong Kong.”

The British (who control much of the Hong Kong economy to this day through drug bank HSBC’s printing of HK currency) were not able to conduct their manipulation of Hong Kong without the vital role of America’s NGO dirty ops, and in true imperial fashion, the political class from both sides of the aisle attacked China continuously throughout the color revolutionary fire of 2019.

When this tactic failed, resources were directed into promoting Uyghur separatism via the NED-funded World Uyghur Congress which has painted a false image that the Chinese government has been committing genocide against its Muslim population of Xinjiang.

In the UK Column’s recent show ‘Nazi-linked Uighur propaganda managers in West’s war against China’, the brilliant journalist Vanessa Beeley exposed the full scale of the anti-China operations managed by organizations directly tied to the most virulent western intelligence agencies with direct ties to Nazi intelligence.

And for anyone who still haven’t figured out that the vast growth of population, longevity, literacy, skills, job opportunities and access to mosques by the people of Xinjiang over the past three decades directly contradicts the popular western narrative of “genocide”, then I encourage you to check out my recent interview with Aziza on Truth Be Bold where we unpack that fraud.

While both Britain and America have been caught red handed organizing these color revolution attempts, it is important to keep in mind who is controlling who.

The British Intelligence Origins of the NED

Contrary to popular opinion, the British Empire did not go away after WWII, nor did it hand over the “keys to the kingdom” to America. It didn’t even become America’s Junior Partner in a new Anglo-American special relationship. Contrary to popular belief, it stayed in the drivers’ seat.

The post WWII order was largely shaped by a British coup which didn’t take over America without a fight. Nests of Oxford-trained Rhodes Scholars, Fabians and other ideologues embedded within the American establishment had a lot of work ahead of them as they struggled to purge all nationalist impulses from the American intelligence community. While the most aggressive purging of patriotic Americans from the intelligence community occurred during the dissolution of the OSS and creation of CIA in 1947 and the Communist witch hunt that followed, there were other purges that were less well known.

As an organization which was beginning to take form which was to become known as the Trilateral Commission organized by Britain’s “hand in America” called the Council on Foreign Relations and international Bilderberg Group, another purge occurred in 1970 under the direction of James Schlesinger during his six month stint as CIA director. At that time 1000 top CIA officials deemed “unfit” were fired. This was followed nine years later as another 800 were fired under a list drafted by CIA “spymaster” Ted Shackley. Both Schlesinger and Shackley were high level Trilateral Commission members who took part in the group’s 1973 formation and fully took power of America during Jimmy Carter’s 1977-1981 presidency which unleashed a dystopian reorganization of American foreign and internal policy outlined in my previous report.

Project Democracy Takes Over

By the 1970s, the CIA’s dirty hand funding anarchist operations both within America and abroad had become too well known as media coverage of their dirty operations at home and abroad spoiled the patriotic image which the intelligence community then desired. While the internal resistance to fascist behaviour from within the intelligence Community itself was dealt with through purges, the reality was that a new agency had to be created to take over those functions of covert destabilization of foreign governments.

What became Project Democracy herein originated with a Trilateral Commission meeting in May 31, 1975 in Kyoto Japan as a protégé of Trilateral Commission director Zbigniew Brzezinski named Samuel (Clash of Civilizations) Huntington delivered the results of his Task Force on the Governability of DemocraciesThis project was supervised by Schlesinger and Brzezinski and presented the notion that democracies could not function adequately in the crisis conditions which the Trilateral Commission was preparing to impose onto America and the world through a process dubbed “the Controlled Disintegration of Society”.

The Huntington report featured at the Trilateral meeting stated: “One might consider… means of securing support and resources from foundations, business corporations, labor unions, political parties, civic associations, and, where possible and appropriate, governmental agencies for the creation of an institute for the strengthening of democratic institutions.”

It took 4 years for this blueprint to become reality. In 1979 three Trilateral Commission members named William Brock (RNC Chairman), Charles Manatt (DNC Chairman) and George Agree (head of Freedom House) established an organization called the American Political Foundation (APF) which attempted to fulfil the objective laid out by Huntington in 1975.

The APF was used to set up a program using federal funds called the Democracy Program which issued an interim report “The Commitment to Democracy” which said: “No theme requires more sustained attention in our time than the necessity for strengthening the future chances of democratic societies in a world that remains predominantly unfree or partially fettered by repressive governments. … There has never been a comprehensive structure for a non-governmental effort through which the resources of America’s pluralistic constituencies . .. could be mobilized effectively.”

In May 1981, Henry Kissinger who had replaced Brzezinski as head of the Trilateral Commission and had many operatives planted around President Reagan, gave a speech at Britain’s Chatham House (the controlling hand behind the Council on Foreign Relations) where he described his work as Secretary of State saying that the British “became a participant in internal American deliberations, to a degree probably never practiced between sovereign nations… In my White House incarnation then, I kept the British Foreign Office better informed and more closely engaged than I did the American State Department… It was symptomatic”.

In his speech, Kissinger outlined the battle between Churchill vs FDR during WWII and made the point that he favored the Churchill worldview for the post war world (And ironically also that of Prince Metternich who ran the Congress of Vienna that snuffed out democratic movements across Europe in 1815).

In June 1982, Reagan’s Westminster Palace speech officially inaugurated the NED and by November 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy Act was passed bringing this new covert organization into reality with $31 million of funding under four subsidiary organizations (AFL-CIO Free Trade Union Institute, The US Chamber of Commerce’s Center for International Private Enterprise, the International Republican Institute and the International Democratic Institute).[2]

Throughout the 1980s, this organization went to work managing Iran-Contra, destabilizing Soviet states and unleashing the first “official” modern color revolution in the form of the Yellow revolution that ousted Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos. Speaking more candidly than usual, NED President David Ignatius said in 1991 “a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA”.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the NED was instrumental in bringing former Warsaw Pact nations into NATO/WTO system and the New World Order was announced by Bush Sr. and Kissinger- both of whom were rewarded with knighthoods for their service to the Crown in 1992 and 1995 respectively.

Of course, the vast web of NGOs permeating the geopolitical terrain can only be effective as long as no one says the truth and “names the game”. The very act of calling out their nefarious motives renders them impotent and this simple fact has made the recently announced China-Russia arrangement to formulate a proper strategic response to color revolutions so important in the current fight.

Despite the fact that the USA has succumbed to its own color revolution in 2020, many well intended, though soft minded patriots have been duped into believing that the cause of their ills is not the British imperial-directed takeover of their society, but “godless commie” Russia and China out to undo the western order.

If there will be any hope of undoing that 2020 coup and saving the republic at this late stage of rot, it will only occur if patriots wake up and recognize that America’s only true enemy is found in that supranational oligarchical system that has sought to destroy Russia and China as well.

Footnotes

[1] Undoubtedly President Trump’s gutting of NED funding by two thirds in 2018 only re-enforced Soros’ accusations that Putin is the guiding hand in America while pouring millions into anti-Trump regime change operations in America. While neocons such as Bolton, Pompeo and Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell took a hardline stance against China in support of the color revolution, it should be noted that Trump continuously took an opposite line Tweeting on August 14 that “China is not our problem” and that “the problem is with the FED”.

[2] At the beginning of 1984, a similar re-organization had occurred in Canada under the guidance of Privy Council Clerk/Trilateral Commission member Michael Pitfield who created CSIS when the RCMP’s “dirty operations” during the FLQ crisis were made known in a series of newspaper reports.

The Colour Revolution Is on the March: What’s Going on in Georgia?

Erkin Öncan   
March 13, 2023

The Western-backed activists, who took to the streets with EU flags against the foreign agents” bill, were actually marching against the Georgian version of a law enacted by the USA in 1939.

Georgia experienced historical days this week — again. Anti-government protests were held throughout the country, especially in the capital Tbilisi, and fierce clashes took place with the security forces.

It was remarkable that activists sang anti-Russian slogans along with anti-government slogans and wore the flags of the United States, the European Union and Ukraine.

The trigger for all these actions was the bill “On the transparency of foreign influence” adopted by the Georgian parliament. The law stipulates that organisations that receive more than 20 percent of their funds abroad will be registered as “foreign agents” or face large fines.

When this law was passed, President Salome Zurabishvili was in the United States, and she announced that she was against the law, was on the side of the activists, and would veto it.

As activists marched against the law under the slogans “No to Russian law”, the Collective West quickly reacted to the law in question. EU High Representative Josep Borrell said the law is “incompatible with EU values and Georgia’s EU goal”.

U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price, on the other hand, said that the Washington administration has not ignored the possibility of sanctions against the Georgian government as a result of the law. In addition, the American and German ambassadors in Tbilisi also made declarations against the law.

U.S. Ambassador Kelly Degnan in Tbilisi said she believed the bill would “stigmatize civil society, as she did in Russia, and silence independent media and dissenting voices”. The U.S. embassy in Tbilisi also said that the law is “influenced by the Kremlin”. German diplomat Peter Fischer also said that the law is “inconsistent with European values”.

Former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, John Herbst, declared that he sees the “foreign agency” law as “the latest in a series of steps that have clearly shifted Georgia away from a democratic orbit”:

“It is just like Russian legislation. It looks just like the Russian legislation. They have tried to pretty it up a bit, but not in a way that hides its real purpose. Georgia was in the vanguard of former Soviet countries moving in the right direction along with the Baltic States. They have clearly stepped back. Enough things have now been put in place that Georgia has more than an authoritarian tinge. But the country and society are balking.”

In summary, the Western-backed activists, who took to the streets with EU flags against the “foreign agents” bill, were actually marching against the Georgian version of a law enacted by the USA in 1939, even though they were shouting slogans against Russia. Moreover, the American version of the bill applies not only to legal entities, but also to individuals.

The protests against the bill had aspects very similar to those of the Maidan coup in Ukraine in 2014. The frequent use of the Ukrainian flag in the demonstrations in Tbilisi and the playing of the anthems of Ukraine and the European Union also reinforces this similarity.

During the Rose Revolution that took place in Georgia in 2003, President Eduard Shevardnadze was “removed” by the Western-backed opposition led by Saakashvili, Saakashvili and his supporters entered the parliament building with red roses in their hands during Shevardnadze’s speech, It had become a symbol of Georgia’s changing course.

Georgia and Ukraine have a particular connection, on the level of colour revolutions. One of the highlights of this special connection is that John Tefft, who was the U.S. Ambassador to Tbilisi during the “Rose Revolution”, was quickly appointed to Kiev before the Maidan coup in 2014.

As the leader of the Rose Revolution, Saakashvili’s turbulent political life -which has an adventurous timeline- had finally ended up in a prison at his own country:

Resignation from Georgian office, the investigations, being a refuge in Poroshenko’s Ukraine and gaining citizenship, “governing” days in Odessa, rebelling against his old friend Poroshenko, deprivation of citizenship, re-establishment in Ukrainian politics through Zelensky…

Of course, it is not a coincidence that Georgia and Ukraine, two former Soviet countries, have similarities in areas such as colour revolutions and war with Russia. Both of these countries are in the “belt of colour revolutions”. 2003 Rose Revolution, 2004 Ukrainian Orange Revolution, 2008 South Ossetia war between Georgia and Russia, 2014 Maidan, 9 years of Donbass conflicts…

As a “natural” result of this, the Ukrainian leader Zelensky immediately embraced the Georgia protests.

Because of all these, the latest protests against the bill is directly connected with this “colourful accumulation”, ideologically.

On the other hand, there has been a kind of argument that countlessly repeated in the Western media about the businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili, one of the former prime ministers of the country and the founder of the Georgian Dream, who ousted Saakashvili from his seat: Support of Kremlin.

Finally, the Georgian parliament decided to withdraw the bill on “transparency of foreign influence”. This means, the colour revolutionary forces won another round of the long-term fight.

The re-warming of waters in Georgia, undoubtedly, can be counted as a “cause and effect situation”, because of the government’s independent stance on Ukraine. Despite having a long-term hostile policy with Russia for many years, including the five-day war in 2008, Georgia did not openly stand with Ukraine for Russia’s SMO in Ukraine.

If we remember Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statements regarding Georgia’s position on SMO, the scenario becomes more clear:

“Georgia is under pressure from the West to join sanctions against Russia, but the Government has the courage to say that they will act in their own interests, which is commendable.”

No matter how much a Western-oriented policy you pursue, it strikingly reappeared that when you take a big or small step towards your own national interests, you will find your Western “friends” standing against of you.

Georgia’s stance on the Ukraine crisis and finally the legal measures against influence agent were “two major crimes” for the Collective West, these steps represented Georgia’s exit from the Western route (we read it as “Russian influence” in the Western media) and of course this crime would not go unpunished.

The activists, on the other hand, stated that the demonstrations would continue and said the processes will not stop until they are assured that Georgia is progressing on a pro-Western path.

This shows that the new political trap that Georgia is going through will not only consist of the bill, but that all preparations have been made to turn the Georgian Dream, which is now thought to have gone “out of line”, into a nightmare.
