NED = National Endowment for Democracy. “The National Endowment for Democracy is a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions.” So WHY is it taking MY TAX MONEY?
How many Americans could identify the National Endowment for Democracy? An organization which often does exactly the opposite of what its name implies. The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of all the negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s… Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years. The Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the powers-that-be much embarrassment.
Something had to be done. What was done was not to stop doing these awful things. Of course not. What was done was to shift many of these awful things to a new organization, with a nice sounding name – The National Endowment for Democracy. The idea was that the NED would do somewhat overtly what the CIA had been doing covertly for decades, and thus, hopefully, eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities…
Thus it was that in 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy was set up to “support democratic institutions throughout the world through private, nongovernmental efforts”. Notice the “nongovernmental” – part of the image, part of the myth. In actuality, virtually every penny of its funding comes from the federal government, as is clearly indicated in the financial statement in each issue of its annual report… [Well that answers why Tax Money for funding NED was just approved again. — GC]
In effect, the CIA has been laundering money through NED.
The Endowment has four principal initial recipients of funds: the International Republican Institute; the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs; an affiliate of the AFL-CIO (such as the American Center for International Labor Solidarity); and an affiliate of the Chamber of Commerce (such as the Center for International Private Enterprise). These institutions then disburse funds to other institutions in the US and all over the world, which then often disburse funds to yet other organizations.
In a multitude of ways, NED meddles in the internal affairs of numerous foreign countries by supplying funds, technical know-how, training, educational materials, computers, faxes, copiers, automobiles, and so on, to selected political groups, civic organizations, labor unions, dissident movements, student groups, book publishers, newspapers, other media, etc. NED typically refers to the media it supports as “independent” despite the fact that these media are on the US payroll…
The NED, like the CIA before it, calls what it does supporting democracy. The governments and movements whom the NED targets call it destabilization.
…In 2006, Kremlin denounced the proliferation of foreign associations in Russia, some of which would have participated in a secret plan, orchestrated by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), to destabilise the country. To prevent a “colour revolution”, Vladislav Surkov drew up strict regulation over these non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In the West, this administrative framework was described as a “fresh assault on freedom of association by Putin the “Dictator” and his adviser”.
This policy has been followed by other States who in their turn, have been labelled by the international press as “dictators”.
The US government guarantees that it is working towards “promoting democracy all over the world”. It claims that the US Congress can subsidize NED and that NED can, in turn and wholly independently, help directly or indirectly, associations, political parties or trade unions, working in this sense anywhere in the world. The NGOs being, as their name suggests, “non-governmental” can take political initiatives that ambassadors could not assume without violating the sovereignty of the States that receive them. The crux of the matter lies here: NED and the network of NGOs that it finances: are they initiatives of civil society unjustly repressed by the Kremlin or covers of the US Secret Services caught red-handed in interference?
In order to respond to this question, we are going to return to the origins and function of NED…
Looks like Andy Biggs agrees with Russia. I wonder how much of the funding of the Anti-Ice protests can be traced back to NED?
81 Republicans just voted to fund NED. So did every single Democrat. If Republicans voted in block like Democrats, NED would be defunded now. But the blocker, as I've said so many times, is not Democrats. If it was, all these things could be fixed. It's the Blob side of the GOP. https://t.co/QWnAbRon2fpic.twitter.com/udxf0cNYKd
One thing I learned living in Uruguay in the 1980s — after the fall of the CIA-backed military dictatorship — is that the agency likes small countries where it can operate through a local tight-knit familial network. Torture and clandestine activities, in the right trusted hands, are “as American as apple pie”...
The CIA carries out clandestine activities overseas to cause regime changes — this is well known. What’s also apparent is that USAID is effectively a front for the CIA — a channel through which to fund various “non-profits” at home as well as overseas and to use those to steer policy and affect change. USAID stands for United States of America International Development. It is not “aid”.
Trawling through Datarepublican.com , you can look up names of New Hampshire non-profits and their directors and find out exactly how they link to USAID. Thus I looked up the NHCADSV, Granite Children’s Alliance (Children’s advocacy Centers) and New Hampshire Charitable Foundation — all funded in part by USAID and all tied to other non-profits funded in part by USAID.
These are also tied to news control organizations such as Internews which is also a recipient of USAID money as is Politico which promoted Amanda Grady Sexton of NHCADSV in 2016….
So, not only is USAID a slush fund for the CIA & dems, so is NED. This gives you an idea of what POTUS Trump is up against. However POTUS has help, what Q and Flynn call the ‘Digital Army.’

After thinking it over last night, here’s how I would summarize it: These seven NGOs (eight if you count the off-the-chart Solidarity Center) together function as an “off-the-books” shadow U.S. government.
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was created to unify the U.S. against communism. [Colonel Towner suggests that the ‘communism’ label is used to make the overthrow of a government, that will not cooperate with the transnational corporations rape of their country, palatable to the American public. — GC] Its four core organizations reflect a neat ideological symmetry of America’s two-party system:
➜CIPE pushes free-market policies, Solidarity Center represents labor and unions. [Centre for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), managed by the US Chamber of Commerce; –GC]
➜IRI serves Republican interests,[International Republican Institute (IRI), run by the Republican Party; — GC] and NDI aligns with the Democrats. [National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), run by the Democratic Party. — GC]
CEPPS [Center for International Media Assistance — GC] is another umbrella group that includes IRI and NDI but also brings in IFES [International Foundation for Election Systems — GC] under the guise of fortifying election integrity.
And to make sure the narrative sticks, Internews Network spreads these viewpoints through global media.
Most of these NGOs were born during the Reagan years. While not all USAID and State Department funding flows through them, they control the purse strings for much of America’s global financial influence.
DEI initiatives created a system of unaccountability and dependency, which ended up injecting more money into them and further entrenches their power.
They see any challenge to their authority as a threat to democracy itself. But their greatest enemy is still the same one they’ve had since the Cold War—Russia. They’ve never lost the “Cold War” boomer mindset.
In their minds, they’re the superheroes keeping America from crumbling. And that entitles them to their travel perks, cushy post-election gigs, and all the other benefits that come with running an unacknowledged empire.
@AsheinAmerica and I have been going deep on searches & charts through the lens of elections.
Every search of the numerous election related NGOs all traced back to what we called “the motherships.”
Originally I thought the mothership orgs were the orgs controlling the “vertical” of elections.
That led me to posit there must be other mothership clusters that controlled different verticals like food, or energy.
We tested the verticals theory and afawct no. There aren’t other mothership clusters for other verticals.
All the stolen taxpayer money pumps through the same mothership cluster, and there is a splintering toward the end of the funding chains / loops as the orgs get smaller & more specialized.
It makes sense from a management pov. It would get very difficult to manage if there were too many mothership clusters.
Where this gets interesting from the election pov is in the smaller orgs that are indirectly funded. Orgs on both sides of US elections are funded.
It’s counterintuitive. Why would funding go toward adversaries?
My theory is to guarantee full control of US elections, the smart move is to own both sides.
It’s like big businesses hedging their bets in politics. Often times they contribute to both parties.
I believe there’s more to this election control / NGO issue. My next step is to start overlaying “the people” factor. That will likely give us a clear picture of who’s driving this bus.
Thank you DR for your work!
This is very important if you are trying to build a RICO case. If you follow the threads of various problems to the top you keep hitting the same organizations. It is like the same Mafia organization controls gambling, prostitution, extortion and bribery. Colonel Towner calls it the Criminal Syndicate. I call it the Cabal.

B. Federal Grants and the Anti-Lobbying Laws
•31 U.S.C. § 1352 prohibits federal grant recipients from using taxpayer money to influence legislation or elections.
•Legal issue: If these NGOs receive hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds, are they improperly engaging in political lobbying, narrative control, or election influence—either domestically or abroad
….
While researching the numerous far left wing NGOs that are working to destroy America, it's clear that it's not only taxpayer money funding them but it's also the big global financial institutions' multi-billion dollar "charitable" foundations.
Gee, don’t you know the source of their [NGOs] contributions is “restricted” information. They don’t want to be exposed. This is from their tax return:

🧵THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”
The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.
THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”
The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.
Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.”
Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself.
This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a “threat to democracy.” To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself.
Check out this interactive visualization and analysis tool I’m developing to explore USAID data more systematically—with some AI muscle under the hood! It’s still a work in progress, but I’m excited about how it’s shaping up.
The "Democracy" Censorship Predicate: A Quick Primer
– After 2016, the national security state, the foreign policy establishment, & the gov't-funded NGO-plex orgs redefined the word "democracy": it no longer meant a consensus of individuals, it meant a consensus of institutions pic.twitter.com/5gdxBqKZOR
$700MM moved in two years, a burn rate of rough $1MM, every day, for around 730 days. We’re talking about an industrial pipeline of cash. There are more than a problems here, but let’s go through a couple:
1. Physical cash is not infinite at the branch level. It’s ordered, tracked, and replenished through a Federal Reserve district system that is designed to notice abnormal demand.
Now put that into Minnesota. Not New York. Not California. Not Texas.
Minnesota has a finite banking footprint, finite vault cash, finite armored-car routing, finite Fed cash-office capacity relative to the national hubs. So if MN alone was sourcing anything close to $1MM a day in high denominations for two straight years, you’d see strain. You’d see persistent, repeat demand, unusual denomination ordering, recurring cash logistics. You’d see it because the system has to move the paper from somewhere. And the Fed doesn’t “guess” about that. They account for it. That kind of sustained pull would stick out to the people whose entire job is watching demand, ordering patterns, and abnormal flows.
2nd Problem:
Two states wouldn’t fix his issue. OH + MN still leaves the same daily requirement. You still need a million dollars a day, still need continuity, still need reliability. You still need enough branches, enough institutions, enough cash order capacity, enough distance between the transactions so the pattern isn’t screaming from the dashboard. If you try to push that volume through only OH & MN, you’d concentrate the signal, compress the footprint, and create repetition.
Repetition is how you’d get caught, not on day one, but at some point within that 2 year period, you are getting nailed. When a pattern forms, multiple layers of oversight can see it. Bank compliance teams see it, BSA/AML monitoring systems see it, Federal cash distribution oversight sees it.
Airports… Inter state agencies.
You get the point.
And that leads us to our 3rd problem:
If the story is “they declared it at the airport,” that does not make it invisible.
Declarations create paper trails. So if the cash is being sourced, consolidated, and exported on a drumbeat for two years, the only way it stays operational is by spreading the sourcing footprint wide enough that no single district, no single metro, no single cluster of branches is carrying an abnormal share of the load. That means our “two-state” theory is implausible if not impossible. And it doesn’t hold on how many different tripwires would start chirping once that demand becomes consistent.
So where does that place us in SomaliFraud right now?
It places us in a multi-state network—AT LEAST—5 states. More plausibly 5-8.
Why?
Because 5-8 states lets you dilute the daily pull into smaller, more “normal-looking” slices. It lets you rotate institutions and geographies, avoid hammering one Federal Reserve district with a sustained, abnormal appetite for high-denomination currency, and avoid creating a single obvious hotspot. It also fits the only thing that matters in a long-running operation. Continuity.
A scheme that runs two years can’t depend on one state’s vault cash and one district’s tolerance.
It needs redundancy.
It needs alternate routes.
It needs multiple hubs.
Essentially, is mandatory for a large enough footprint that the volume becomes background noise instead of a siren. A five-to-eight-state network is the only mathematically feasible option. And that’s exactly why our lens is widening.

I do not envy POTUS Trump in his quest to unravel this mess!
On a side note, we all know that the judiciary, esp in Democrat run states has been corrupted thanks to Blue Slips in the Senate. This makes prosecuting in a state like Florida much more attractive. If this whole mess; Russia,Russia,Russia, the stolen 2020 election, the judicial travesty of Jan 6th, the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, and now the Anit-Ice protests against deportation of illegal aliens, can all be connected, then the court case could possibly be moved to a better venue.
