Document Exposes US Plot To Overthrow Nicaragua’s Elected Government

August 6, 2020 Ben Norton, The Grayzone. Educate! Nicaragua, Socialism, US Regime Change, USAID

A newly released document exposes a US government operation to overthrow the democratically elected socialist government in Nicaragua. The plot is administered by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a regime-change vehicle that uses the pretense of “humanitarian aid” to advance Washington’s aggressive foreign-policy interests. The document (PDF) details the creation of a new “task order” called Responsive Assistance in Nicaragua (RAIN) and its plan for “Nicaragua’s transition to democracy”...

US Launches Brazen Interventionist Plan to Overthrow The FSLN

August 3, 2020 Wiston López. Radio La Primerísima. Educate! Democracy, Nicaragua, US Regime Change, USAID

An orchestrated plan financed by the United States to overthrow the democratically elected Nicaragua government during the next two years was leaked in a document from the US embassy and presented July 31, 2020, by Nicaraguan journalist William Grigsby on his political analysis program "Sin Fronteras", and as an article on Radio La Primerísima website. Grigsby says the new destabilization plan is in response to the fact that the US realizes President Daniel Ortega will win the November 2021 elections. The 18-page document is RFTOP No: 72052420R00004, with the title RAIN or Responsive Assistance in Nicaragua. It is a “Terms of Reference” contract used to hire a US company (like the descendants of Blackwater) to take charge of the plan. The company will direct local actors to disrupt public order and carry out other [violent] actions before, during and/or after the 2021 elections. The funds to implement this plan were allocated through the International Development Agency (AID) which is also the US institution that has provided the most money openly in recent years to the Nicaraguan opposition for coup-related activities.

COVID-19 Stimulus Bill Funds State Dept/USAID Operations That Helped Trigger Polio Outbreak

April 24, 2020 Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. Educate! Epidemic, Polio, Syria, USAID

While the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill was authored in the spirit of beating back a pandemic, buried deep within its text is a stipend for the US State Department operations dedicated to carrying out foreign interventions that have contributed to the outbreak of preventable diseases like polio in Syria and Pakistan. Passed unanimously by Congress this March, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provides $250 million for the State Department to implement “economic, security, and stabilization” activities through an “Economic Support Fund” (ESF). Earmarked for activities through September 2020, the bill authorizes the State Department to fund “international organizations.” While the bill does not specify which organizations qualify for funding, many recent State Department “security and stabilization” operations have relied heavily on foreign proxies which did exactly the opposite of improving public health systems.

USAID Thieves In Latin America

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has supplied, since 2017, over 467 million dollars to the Venezuelan opposition for what they falsely call “humanitarian aid,” as acknowledged on the agency’s website.

USAID Funds Salaries Of Venezuelan Politicians As It Doubles Down On The Coup

October 22, 2019 Leonardo Flores, Popular Resistance. Educate! Juan Guaido, US coup, USAID, Venezuela

The payment of Mr. Guaidó’s representatives is a serious conflict of interest that is generating concern among Venezuelans. Do Vecchio and other members of the Guaidó team represent the Venezuelan people or the interests of the government that is paying their salaries? It is a point worth reiterating: a foreign politician is being paid by the United States to influence policy in the United States. The subsidies to the Venezuelan opposition have never been so blatant, but they are also nothing new. USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives began the indirect financing of the opposition in 2002. It began by funding opposition affiliated non-governmental organizations, students and parties; now it has progressed to paying politicians directly. The goal has always been the same: regime change.

Cuba: U.S. Government Earmarks Millions To Hinder Cuban Medical Cooperation

September 2, 2019 Staff, Radio Rebelde Educate! Cuba, Health Care, Medicine, USAID

The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement today strongly rejecting a USAID program against Cuban medical cooperation projects. Cuban News Agency reproduces the full text of the statement: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly denounces and condemns the recent aggression against Cuba by the Government of the United States through a USAID program aimed at financing actions and to search for information to discredit and sabotage the international cooperation provided by Cuba in the area of health in dozens of countries and for the benefit of millions of people.

Venezuela Trump Redirects Central American Aid To Venezuelan Opposition

July 18, 2019 Staff, Telesurenglish.net Educate! Aid, Central America, Latin America, Regime Change, USAID, Venezuela

The United States government has decided to redirect US$41.9 million, meant to financially assist Central American countries, to Venezuela's opposition, according to an internal document obtained Tuesday by Reuters. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) notified Congress that the aid will be used for salaries, travel, communications equipment, technical assistance and training for the management of a government budget and other needs for the Venezuelan opposition. Guatemala and Honduras were expecting the funds...

USAID Chief’s Visit To Colombo‐Venezuelan Border Raises Spectre Of Interference

July 24, 2018 By Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis.com Educate! Border, Colombia, Latin America, US Imperialism, USAID, Venezuela

Caracas, July 17, 2018 (venezuelanalysis.com) – The head of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Mark Green, visited the Colombian frontier city of Cucuta Monday, pledging six million US dollars of support for organizations dealing with Venezuelans who cross the border. The move fits a pattern of US interference in the region that has often relied on this governmental agency. USAID’s mandate is to provide “foreign aid” and “development assistance,” but its activity has often evidenced directly political or even subversive motives related to reasserting US dominance in the region. From Cucuta, Trump’s USAID chief made declarations regarding what he calls a “man-made humanitarian crisis [in Venezuela],” which, he claims, adversely affects the whole region.

Moscow Details Subversive US NGO Activities in Russia and Around the World

June 3, 2018 Frank Sellers, The Duran, Educate! CIA, Regime Change, USAID

It’s no secret that the CIA and some wealthy business magnates have been funding and using Non-Governmental Organizations to alter the political landscapes inside nations all around the world, whether through meddling in elections or through plotting coups. A detailed report has come out of the Russian Parliament about how these NGOs attempted to meddle in recent elections in Russia. Russia isn’t the only country to recognize the ways in which Western funded NGOs meddle in the affairs of other sovereign nations. Hungary has recently begun taking up legislation to crack down on NGOs funded by George Soros and those which relocate migrants into and within Hungary, potentially altering its demographic makeup, religious traditions, social homogeneity, and political environment.

Rebellion Or Counter-Revolution: Made In US Or In Nicaragua?

June 3, 2018 Staff, Telesur Educate! Nicaragua, US Regime Change, USAID

Many wonder if the United States is involved in the student protests of the past month in Nicaragua which attempted to destabilize the country. Western media writes nothing about the issue, while at the same time similar scenarios have played out in Venezuela, Brazil, Cuba, Honduras, Bolivia and other countries in which the left has made progress. At this moment, three Nicaraguan students are touring Europe and Sweden in search of support for their campaign. At least one of the students represents an organization funded and created by the United States. There is much that indicates that these are not just spontaneous protests. There are many indications that organizations led by the United States waited for the right moment to create chaos, and exacerbate the contradictions to destabilize the democratically elected government of Nicaragua.

USAID Funded Syrian Medical Society Driving US To Regime Change War

April 13, 2018 Max Blumenthal, Grayzoneproject.com Educate! Regime Change, Syria, US Imperialism, USAID, Wars and Militarism

Reports on unproven allegations of a chemical attack in Douma, the Syria city formerly occupied by the Army of Islam insurgent group, invariably rely on a key source: The Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS). Together with the White Helmets, SAMS has been cited by the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN and virtually every Western media organization reporting on the incident. In Douma, SAMS staff have claimed that they treated more than 500 people for symptoms “indicative of exposure to a chemical agent.” The group also played a central role in shaping the narrative of a sarin attack in Al Qaeda-controlled Khan Sheikhoun in April, 2017, providing biomedical samples to the Organization for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which violated its stated protocol by accepting evidence without a verifiable chain of custody.

State Department Spent Over $1m In Iran To Exploit Unrest

January 21, 2018 Nafeez Ahmed, Information Clearinghouse. Educate! Iran, Regime Change, State Departent, USAID

At the end of 2017, a dozen cities across Iran, including the capital Tehran, were rocked by spontaneous protests which continued into the New Year. The protests drew attention to the country’s deteriorating economic conditions, along with the regime’s abysmal human rights record. They also paved the way for President Donald Trump’s announcement on January 12th that this would be a “last chance” for waiving US nuclear sanctions under the Iran nuclear deal for a further 60 days, after which the US would withdraw if its “disastrous flaws” cannot be fixed.

Tired Of US “Aid” (Exploitation), Africa And Global South Look To China

January 20, 2018 By Jim Carey, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Africa, China, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, US Imperialism, USAID

BEIJING — There has been a growing focus on the economic development underway in Africa. There is a reason behind this seemingly new interest of Western powers in events happening in Africa, and the reason is simple: China is a new power dominating business on the continent and has clearly caught the West’s attention. China now has partner nations spanning the entire continent from Mauritania to South Africa, in a growing number of relationships that challenge the perceived hegemony of the triumvirate of Western capital, military, and NGO operations. This is making the U.S. nervous, as more African nations begin to see China as the better choice as an economic partner, due to Beijing’s fewer-strings-attached approach.

By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers for Popular Resistance. The United States has perfected the art of regime change operations. The US is the largest empire in world history with more than 1,000 military bases and troops operating throughout the world. In addition to military force, the US uses the soft power of regime change, often through 'Color Revolutions.' The US has been building its empire since the Civil War era, but it has been in the post-World War II-time period that it has perfected regime change operations.US military presence around the world Have the people of the United States been the victims of regime change operations at home? Have the wealthiest and the security state created a government that serves them, rather than the people? To answer these questions, we begin by examining how regime change works and then look at whether those ingredients are being used domestically.

Pentagon And Aid Workers Clash Over Planned Assault In Yemen

April 21, 2017 Jason Ditz, www.news.antiwar.com Resist! Pentagon, US Imperialism, USAID, Yemen

By Jason Ditz for Anti-War - Pentagon officials have been making clear for weeks that they are eager to directly join Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, and have excitedly laid out plans for deeper involvement in the conflict to the rest of the administration, centering on joining the invasion of Hodeidah, a Red Sea port which is where most humanitarian aid enters the country. Hodeidah’s vitalness to the already shaky aid supply to northern Yemen isn’t sitting well with aid workers, or even with State Department and USAID officials, who were quick to note that cutting off Hodeidah to the northern Yemenis would lead directly to a full-blown famine. Officially, the Pentagon is just denying the famine risk out of hand, claiming that the invasion would be “clean,” and that they could deliver the port to the Saudis in just a few weeks. The assumption is that the aid would resume immediately, though in practice the reason Hodeidah is the only port for the rebel north is that the Saudis have prevented aid from moving through their ports into the north, and with Hodeidah would be able to do so even more.
