So fun fact, the NED is what the CIA was in the 1970s.

You know all those coups that you were told were totally a positive thing and that you needed to fight back evil communism otherwise you'd have to pay for healthcare and wouldn't be able to afford food or rent?

You know all that objectively false infomation used to sway public opinion on what was the most evil set of military operations in the history of the world, resulting in more dead than the holocaust and more extermination camps that the entirety of all wwii nations during wwii?

Yeah, the NED is doing that for the 21st century, because for idiots, one extra layer of obscurity is all that's needed for them to wash their hands and agree with whatever fantastical physically impossible drivel the CIA wants them to believe.

You're not one of them, right?

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
