NED

If you have been reading YWA Venezuelan articles, you are familiar with NED. Indymedia has more information about this American agency and its agenda:

While it is illegal in the U.S. to accept political campaign contributions from foreign sources, the door doesn't swing both ways in DC. A quasi-governmental organization euphemistically called the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has been dumping millions of dollars over the years, often into the coffers of off-shore conservative political parties that are all to glad to march in lockstep with Washington, especially during Republican administrations....

....Interestingly, even Libertarians take issue with NED and its subversive activities. However, high-profile U.S. figures like recent presidential candidate and retired General Wesley Clark, Senator Bob Graham,, and, of course, the present occupant of the Whitehouse, seem to have no problem with an organization that destabilizes democratically elected governments in the name of....democracy!
