🇺🇸 Let's check out some more USAID funded "independent" media outlets...

Eurasianet – Washington’s Foot Soldier in Central Asia

➡️Funding:
• $1M+ from USAID-backed grants ONE MILLION!!!
• Tied to Soros’ Open Society Foundations
• Partnered with Western NGOs promoting “democracy-building”

➡️What they do:
Eurasianet poses as an “independent” news source covering Central Asia and the Caucasus, but in reality, it’s a soft-power tool used to undermine non-aligned governments and push U.S. influence in post-Soviet states.

➡️Major Exposures:

1. Targeting Russia & China’s Influence in Central Asia
• Coverage aligns perfectly with U.S. State Department objectives—promoting anti-Russian and anti-Chinese narratives.
• In 2023, Eurasianet ran multiple stories claiming Russia was “losing influence” in Kazakhstan.
• Coincidence? That same year, USAID boosted funding for Kazakh NGOs working on “civil society initiatives.”

➡️Undermining Non-Aligned Governments

• Targets Central Asian leaders who refuse to align with U.S. interests.
• Example: Published multiple reports trying to discredit Uzbekistan’s growing ties with China, framing them as a “debt trap.”
• Reality? Uzbekistan’s economy is thriving under its China partnership, while the West offers nothing but “democracy grants.”

➡️Whitewashing U.S. Interference in Central Asia

• Ignores U.S. coup attempts and NGOs funding opposition groups in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia.
• Failed to report on USAID-backed protests in Kazakhstan in 2022, which had direct Western NGO involvement.

➡️Eurasianet’s Connection to Western Think Tanks

• Partners with institutions linked to U.S. intelligence, including the Carnegie Endowment, Wilson Center, and the Atlantic Council.
• Pushes reports from RAND Corporation—a known Pentagon-funded think tank responsible for regime change strategies

🇺🇸🇷🇸 BIRN (Balkan Investigative Reporting Network) – NATO’s Propaganda Machine in the Balkans

➡️Funding:

• $7M+ from USAID, NED, and EU grants in the past decade
• UK Foreign Office & Open Society Foundations (Soros) sponsorships
• Directly collaborates with Western intelligence-linked think tanks

➡️What they do:

BIRN claims to be an “independent investigative network” but functions as a NATO-backed tool for manipulating narratives in the Balkans, smearing Serbia, and pushing color revolution tactics. Its reporting aligns perfectly with U.S. and EU foreign policy objectives.

➡️Major Exposures:

1. Targeting Serbia – A NATO-Backed Smear Campaign
• Since Serbia refused to sanction Russia, BIRN has significantly ramped up anti-Serbia propaganda, getting increased Western funding.
• In 2023, BIRN published over 50 articles smearing Vučić’s government, painting it as a Russian puppet while ignoring Western-backed corruption in Kosovo and Montenegro.
• Received €4M in EU grants specifically for “promoting European values” in Serbia—translation: pressuring Serbia into abandoning neutrality and embracing NATO.

➡️Covering NATO’s Illegal War in Yugoslavia

• BIRN consistently whitewashes NATO’s 1999 bombing campaign, refusing to acknowledge its war crimes, such as:
• The cluster bombing of civilians in Niš
• The bombing of Serbia’s Radio Television headquarters, killing 16 journalists
• The use of depleted uranium, causing a surge in cancer rates
• Instead, BIRN portrays Serbia as the sole aggressor in the Balkan wars while defending NATO’s involvement.

➡️Kosovo – Propaganda for NATO’s Proxy State

• BIRN is heavily funded by the U.S. and UK governments, which directly back Kosovo’s leadership.
• Refuses to cover ethnic purges of Serbs in Kosovo under Albin Kurti’s government.
• Downplays Kosovo’s NATO-trained paramilitary groups, portraying them as “peacekeepers” while they conduct raids on Serbian villages.
• In 2023, when Serbs in Kosovo were attacked by armed Albanian extremists, BIRN blamed Serbian civilians for “provoking tensions.”

➡️Montenegro & North Macedonia – Supporting NATO Puppet Regimes

• BIRN played a direct role in Western-backed political shifts in Montenegro and North Macedonia.
• In 2015 & 2019, BIRN helped legitimize U.S.-funded protests in North Macedonia, which ultimately toppled a non-aligned government and installed a NATO-compliant leader.
• Launders EU narratives in Montenegro, labeling any opposition to NATO as “Russian influence.”

➡️BIRN’s Ties to Western Intelligence & Think Tanks

• Partners with the UK’s Integrity Initiative, a leaked British intelligence project for information warfare.
• Works with the Carnegie Endowment, a U.S. think tank involved in color revolution strategies worldwide.
• Regularly cites “anonymous Western officials” as sources—standard disinformation tactics used to justify NATO interventions.

This one was pretty obvious but we'll include it anyway...

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL)

➡️Funding:

$129M+ annually from the U.S. government (via USAID & NED).
• In 2019, USAID gave $6M specifically to counter “Russian disinformation” in Central Asia.
• Receives funding via the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which is directly controlled by the U.S. government.

➡️What they do:

RFE/RL operates in former Soviet states, Iran, and China to push anti-government narratives under the guise of “independent journalism.” Its purpose is not journalism but to undermine governments opposed to U.S. foreign policy while ignoring corruption in pro-Western states.

➡️Major Examples:

1. RFE/RL in Belarus (2020) – Supporting Regime Change
• Actively promoted opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and framed the 2020 protests as a “democratic revolution.”
• Published over 1,200 articles and videos covering anti-Lukashenko protests while censoring any mention of foreign involvement.
• USAID-backed RFE journalists openly coordinated with Belarusian opposition Telegram channels like NEXTA, which helped organize protests.

➡️RFE/RL in Russia

• Heavily promoted Alexei Navalny for years, presenting him as a legitimate opposition leader while ignoring his Western funding ties.
• Funded reports linking Putin to the so-called “Panama Papers” in 2016—despite U.S. allies like Ukraine’s Poroshenko appearing in the leaks.
• In 2021, RFE/RL refused to register as a “foreign agent” in Russia, despite being a U.S. government-funded entity.

➡️RFE/RL in Iran

• Operates under Radio Farda, which spreads pro-Western content and amplifies anti-Iranian protests while ignoring U.S. sanctions’ impact.
• In 2019, RFE/RL repeatedly ran false reports claiming Iran was “collapsing under protests” while downplaying U.S. interference.
• Heavily promotes the exiled MKO (MEK) terrorist group, which is funded by the U.S. and wants regime change in Iran.

➡️RFE/RL in Ukraine – Running NATO Talking Points

➡️RFE/RL in Kazakhstan

• During the 2022 unrest in Kazakhstan, RFE/RL provided round-the-clock coverage, portraying the protests as a “popular uprising” rather than a foreign-backed coup attempt.
• After Kazakhstan cracked down on USAID-backed NGOs, RFE/RL framed it as an attack on press freedom rather than exposing foreign influence.

➡️Funding:

• USAID & NED-backed grants
• Direct UK & Dutch government funding
• “Private donations” (heavily linked to Western intelligence networks)

➡️What they do:

➡️EXPOSED:

1. 2018 Syrian “Chemical Attack” – Helping Justify Bombing Syria
• Pushed fake evidence claiming the Syrian government launched a chemical attack in Douma.

- Bellingcat’s main “source”? A Ukrainian SBU agent (Ukraine’s CIA equivalent).

➡️Skripal Poisoning – Running Cover for British Intelligence

- UK refused to release CCTV footage from inside Skripal’s home—why?

➡️Ukraine – Whitewashing Neo-Nazis

- bans pro-Russian commentators from its platforms.
- Ignores Western crackdowns on independent journalists (e.g., Julian Assange, Gonzalo Lira).

• Direct funding from Open Society Foundations (George Soros)
• Partnered with U.S. State Department, UK Foreign Office, and EU-backed institutions

🇺🇸 Trump to Sign Executive Order Sanctioning the International Criminal Court Over Prosecution of the U.S. and Its Allies, Including Israel

U.S. President Trump is set to sign an executive order today imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) for pursuing cases against the United States and its allies, such as Israel, according to a White House official, as reported by the BBC.

The order will introduce financial and visa sanctions on ICC staff and their families, the official clarified.

This move comes after Senate Democrats last week blocked a Republican-led attempt to impose sanctions on the ICC.

In anticipation of possible U.S. sanctions, the ICC had already taken precautions by paying staff salaries three months in advance, Reuters sources previously reported.

This is the second time the court has faced retaliatory measures from Washington. In 2020, during Trump’s first administration, the U.S. sanctioned ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and the court’s Director of Jurisdiction, Fakiso Mochochoko, over their investigation into war crimes in Afghanistan.
