Flashback Friday | #458: Regime Change Incorporated

Macroaggressions

Everyone knows the long history of the Central Intelligence Agency overthrowing foreign governments, but most are unfamiliar with its two favorite cut-outs that now carry out much of the dirty work openly that the CIA did covertly for decades. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) are the public face of the CIA and operate as sister agencies that report back to the mothership. They seek to influence, corrupt, compromise, and control political groups, business groups, and trade unions in order to ensure that the correct America-friendly regime ends up in office. Sometimes that process is peaceful, but not always.   — Subscribe to the Macroaggressions video channels: —MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksActivist Post FamilySupport Our Sponsors
