blue, hello, i'm manila chan you are tuned into modus operandi the show that dive deep in the global foreign policy and international relations to examine their methods and patterns. and it's history that reverberates in our lives today. all right, so they claim to be non partisan benign, non profits that assist nations or promote a cause. oftentimes they claim to promote democracy in other humanitarian causes. but most importantly, the n g part of the acronym and g o non governmental implies there are no ties to any particular government. today will explore whether n jose are really just a trojan horse. all right, let's get into the ammo ah. in the 21st century, public perception is key to achieving policy goals of any government in any country

on the planet, including those of foreign policy agendas. now known chomsky and edward s, herman in their seminal 1988 book manufacturing consent examined how media helps shape public perception and ultimately achieve a government's policy objectives. chomsky said this quote, propaganda is to democracy. what violence is too tall a tarion isn't. and that was in 1088. today governments rely heavily on social media influencers, the media itself, and more. so bursley on non governmental organizations or, and yos for short. now able to do and perform tasks that are politically risky or flat out antithetical to international law. and jose had the ability to skirt around such inconveniences and nuisance. after all, they are not

a part of any government right? wrong, or it sort of. and yo's, as their name implies, are not technically a part of any branch of government, at least not here in the us. however, the caveat is oftentimes at least for these american ones, these embryos take in a tremendous amount of funding directly from the u. s. government now take, for example, the n e d. ned is the national endowment for democracy. now ned says they are quote, an independent non profit foundation dedicated to the growth and strict strengthening of democratic institutions around the world. cool, that sounds great. they use words like democracy, scholars, activists, human rights, freedom. they give out grants, free money to promote all this good stuff. but keep reading. and ned tells you

right there, funded largely by the u. s. congress. it's founding in 1983 garnered bipartisan support, state side, one of the rare instances, the american political do wobbly, publicly agree, and it's through the private non profit ned, that the u. s. pores billions of dollars into these and g o z chief among them. the and d i and the i r i, the national democratic institute and the international republican institute, respectively. and george soros, his massive network of various and cios such as his open society foundations. so in effect, angio is often serve as a means to launder state money to achieve various political outcomes of target nations or groups. it's an indirect way for governments to affect change and shape public opinion without really having to get their hands dirty. but that doesn't

mean they'd only fingerprints. oh, to learn more about the inner workings of angio, will be joined by someone who has had to work directly with them in various corners of the world. francis boyle is a professor of international law at the university of illinois and has served as counsel to nations such as bosnia, herzegovina, and the provisional government of the palestinian authority. professor, good to see. thank you for joining us on this seemingly benign topic. but it's also very opaque one. let's take, for example, u. s. a id that began in the 960 s. it's america's main and official soft power agency. now since then, other official agencies such as ned, the national endowment for democracy and branches beneath that have sprung up as well. they put tens of millions of dollars into groups known as

n g 's. why do this, why not run programs directly through official government agencies or government channels? well, 1st let's start with usa id. it's a well no front organization for the central intelligence agency. as a matter of fact, i have lunch once a friend of mine who is a former director of usa id when it was an independent agency and a lawyer. and i asked him about penetration of u i c i d by the central intelligence agency. and he just sort of smiled and he said there were so many spooks in my organization. i lost track of so that's usa. i v for you. you have to understand they're, they're a covert are open arm of the central intelligence agency director

kind of embarrassing of course. so they became well known in the cia and color revolutions and everything else. so they decided to sort of out source it green, wash it, whatever you want to call it by the nationalist tune for democracy and the republican institute. in all honesty, i really don't know why foreign governments permit the real question here. why do foreign governments permit ned and the republican institute to operate in these foreign countries, for the purpose of destabilizing them? and if they don't do what the united states government tells them to do, ah, to, to prepare a color revolutions, are certainly now finely russia. his so you know,

smart knocked and realize what the agenda here is. ah, and, and his adopted view law cracking down on the saw of angels in the restaurant. and i notice india has. that's good, but what about the rest the world? i mean, we americans, no full, well, what's going on? um, so i mean this, these are matters of public record over here that experts and in my feel international on international human rights law. all about our n g o's, an american phenomenon, or do they exist for other countries around the world as well? most of the lights, i haven't sat down and you don't done a statistical study. most of them come out of the united states. but then you have a britain with amnesty international france medicines on frontier. but basically they are, i would say, white racist,

western imperialist governments, that a view n g o as a so called soft power and cut out o 2 to engage in their foreign policy by other means. so early 2000, there was significant growth of angio activity across latin america between 20022012 . that decade saw some $100000000.00 dumped into latin america by and cios, especially in ecuador and venezuela. that money was used to fund opposition. busy groups and stand up new organizations that were similarly against the socialist leaders of that time. what impact did this have and latin american politics and does this equate to our election interference? well yeah, let's just take what happened there in venezuela,

by itself were all these. so western angels went in there to destabilize chavez and then the dural because they were pursuing a foreign policy, independent of the united states of america. and tried to use their massive oil well for the benefit of their, their old people. so they sick the n g o on venezuela. and to a lesser extent, the same thing was done to ecuador because they were not towing the american, the united states of america, imperial. why? sure. oh, you know, you have to understand on these angie owes they all operate on the principle he, he who pays the piper calls to, to there's, there's nothing independent about them. it, it all depends, you know,

who is giving them the money. because of, you know, you get what you pay for. people don't just give money to n g o z out of the goodness of their heart. they expect payback and you know, some of these n g o z, good, good funnels. don't get paid for by us government cuts. so again, you just see, oh, certainly american and joe's older or western. joe's being used as instruments of foreign policy, a cutout as it were, for organizations up by their own government. and the 2nd you have to understand many of these ent yos, are infiltrated by western intelligence agency. and now it's worth noting that since the mid 20 ten's, a number of nations have moved to pass laws more tightly, regulating how foreign angio is,

can operate in their respective countries. israel's canal, it approved a controversial 2016 law that mandates financial reporting requirements for n g o that received most of their funding from foreign governments. and critics argued this targets humanitarian groups. but benjamin netanyahu prime minister at the time said this and the aim of the law, he said quote, to prevent an absurd situation in which foreign states metal, in israel's internal affairs, by funding and cios, without the israeli public being aware of it. russia and china have also introduced and past similar and jail legislation in their own countries as well. so when we return, we'll take a look at just how easy it is to launch an angio and its impacts within america's own borders. we'll continue the conversation with professor boil. when we return, sit tight. m o will be right back. i

ah ah, with a a o is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed? what will make you feel safe for isolation for community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere direct what is true is great in the world corrupted. you need to send a. ready join us in the depths or remain in the shallow ah, we're pulling back the veil and n g o. busy and what some call a 2nd cia professor francis boil is continuing the conversation with us now,

professor, boil american n g, i was not only influence opinion beyond us borders within the us itself, according to a 2021 report by the state department. some 1500000 n g i was operate here inside the u. s. is their function, the same state side as it is overseas? to a great extent, it is a, you know, you have to get to be very careful who is paying for these and cios, where did they come from? what is their agenda? oh, you know, soros is put large amounts of money into n g o z to promote his own agenda. some people agree with charles agenda. i have problems with some of it. but, but to give you an example here, a prominent n g o i worked with the american civil liberties union. i joined the ac all you,

when i was 10 years old, i had read of a young case, the one on civil rights for african americans. so i took $5.00 out of my own allowance and i sent them a note saying, i'm only 10 years old, but i saw your case and here's $5.00. i hope you can just make me a member and they sent me a membership ship certificate. so i haven't been continuously member for all those years, but what i will work with you over the years. and then i moved out here to the university of illinois and champagne and was actively involved in the or champagne county, a c o u. and then it turns out that the president of the champagne county, a, c, l u, launched an internet character assassination campaign accusing me of being anti

semitic. and he sent this to jewish people are wonderful, was a friend of mine and responded and reprimanded, saying, you know boyle is an anti semitic, but he is as critical of israel as i am. so you have to, this was the, a, c o u. so i didn't renew my membership, but you have to understand here in the united states, large numbers of n she yos like the a ceo, you are paid for by science sources. ah, you have a zine is sound, their board of directors, zionist official sinus gatekeepers, and the anything that is objectionable to the of zionist agenda is killed right away. that was my experience with having been dealt with him to see an international for the years. i was a dealing with them and, and other organization. so, ah,

they all have an agenda right now. you, st. zionist, as it pertains to that, a, c, l. u, can you explain that to us a little bit more? right. why you scientists to distinguish it from jewish because as you saw, the only reason i found out about this, a seo you internet character assassination campaign. by the scientist, president of the a, c, l. u in champagne county was that he sent it to a jewish friend of mine who was not assigned to stay and reprimanded him. and you know, there are many jewish people who are, who are scientists, scientists, you don't fully support this criminal apartheid regime in israel. and the do everything they care about to oppose those of us here in the united states who work against her israel and support the l. a spin in. so i

mean, over the years i supported the palestinian since i entered harvard in 1971. 1 palestinians were treated like lepers. and sinus since don't accuse me of being everything but a child molester and his black bull black listed me of censured me. you wouldn't believe the stuff that's going on and you know that n g e o 's that are heavily influenced why zionists will work with me for that reason. so. okay, fine. what can i do? the state department says it's relatively easy to stand up and, and g o that it can be accomplished within just a few days. political, antonio's, they receive special limited tax exemptions and many other types actually qualify for a full tax exempt status, both by state and federal taxes. so given the perks and relative all to launch one

of these are engineers sometimes exploited. and as a means for some to enrich themselves. well, i've pointed out, you know, amnesty international, my experience there is that one of their main main objectives was to raise as much money and as much members as possible. so yes, and you do have other staff members and especially officials who have pretty good salvage. yeah. ah, for these and jose, i'm not, you know, necessarily saying anyone stealing money, but yeah, high level staff people and the executive directors in, in these engineers are very well paid. many of them. yes. and the reason why it's so easy to set up these agile. i used to be a tax lawyer before he became

a law professor. the united states government understands for well, these n g o r a tool of saw power for american foreign policy. i mean, if you look at the n g o, like again in the state of they've always consider themselves to be sort of the loyal opposition to the united states government. and they're happy to go to man against the official designated enemies of the united states government. but you don't want to come see united states government, they sort of policy for in a row. what can i say? you know, i can give you an example on yeah, i've done some pro bono work for the american indian movement. going back to 1992. i was there at their request. i was seeing a special prosecutor, the united states government in san francisco tribunal for inflicting international

crimes against indigenous people and people of color here in the united states, which that's exactly when i 1st got involved in dealing with american indian issues . so amnesty international law launched a big campaign on behalf of indigenous people all over the world. ok, so they sent me this camp. i was still on the board at the time. they sent me the campaign literature that that was going on all over the world. and guess what? they said absolutely nothing in there. i'm the genocidal plight of indigenous people here in the united states and canada. not a work that i've worked up in canada for what they call 1st nations up there. not a word. it eod i. but what do you do? it's just stuck there it is. one of the checks and balances and the money. where does that all go? how do we know exactly what happens to it?

we don't know. it's like a black hole. you really don't know where the, where the money goes, where it comes from. oh say, i mean i was on the amnesty born for 4 years and yet we got a budget, i think was like $30000000.00 to there was but they didn't get into explaining to us. so who gave us this money. but i did eyes too busy doing human rights work to you know, to sit there and say, you know, i'd like, i'd like to see the books. ah, i don't know if they would show them to me to tell you the truth and said i used to be a tax law, was a big corporate law firm in boston of doing tax, international tax tax litigation. so i never said, well, show me the books i, you know, i guess, you know, i, we just got a raw figure. here's the amount of money. here's what we're planning to do, isn't exactly where it came from. i don't know. and i, you know,

i didn't have time to require sit down there and go through the accounting books. and i don't know if they would have given it to me. now, in your opinion, which n g o is, are the most influential and who runs them. maybe, you know, rattle off the top 2 or 3. all right, i've already discussed the international committee of the red grass and amos, the international and human rights watch. you know, that's all sorrows money, although i do want to say that can was who is stepping down as the executive director of human rights watch. i work with. i have respect for general, but it is sort of money. and then the a, c o u here is not a states i've already discussed that with you. so those, you know, those are the ones i worked with are center for constitutional rights and new york . there are standing fearless group of lawyers and dedicated staff people.

iran is a contentious topic for the us right now. what are the hallmarks of n g o d stabilization? do you see any of that there? well, i think on iraq, we have to understand that the united states government has been waging economic warfare against iran for many years. and this is for the purpose of producing the type bozo opposition. we're seeing 2 v a radian people. and yes, if you read the news media, you'll see n g o shop again on us. sure. there was a, just a big article, i guess, new york times say, well the, you know, the united states government should be getting involved in here and assisting the, i'm sure. there is definite sources. well, position to the current government in iran. i'm not here to digital jeremiah,

any of that, but all this is basically interference in the domestic affairs of foreign states that technically are israel legal, under international law. but these western end, jose are parenting the united states. britain, france like to use the cause of either human rights or democracy because it sounds good. it gets the money. and they sound like the do gooders where, you know, in fact, it's not just ram, but other governments, 3rd world. they're destabilizing like, like, been, well, you know, it's a pair professor francis boyle, of the university of illinois. thank you so much for sharing your insight and expertise with us today. all right, so it would appear that where diplomacy fails and sanctions just aren't enough.

stand up an n g o and send it over to spread democracy. that's going to do it for this week's episode of modus operandi there show that dig deep into foreign policy. i'm your host manila. chad. thank you for tuning and we'll see you again next week. to figure out the, along with a wrong one, all 3 just don't hold. any rules that you have to fill out is the because the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so
