Throughout its history, the CIA’s foreign operative methods have included the creation of so-called “non-governmental organizations.” With their help, the Agency to this day brings the “right” people to power, shape public opinion and, if necessary, removes those who pose a threat.
Today, we want to tell you about the “European Values” (EV) non-governmental organization, which deals with “full-scale democratic response to hostile disinformation operations.” The EV Executive Director is an officer of Active Reserve of the Czech Armed Forces within the Czech Cyber and Information Warfare Command Jakub Janda.
According to its website, the EV is not affiliated with any political party in the Czech Republic, its funding is provided by “various institutions and private donors.” However, if you look at the EV annual reports, one of the main donors of this think tank were the U.S. State Department, USAID and the U.S. Embassy in the Czech Republic, which over the past three years allocated about one million dollars. The total amount donated to the EV was estimated in millions of dollars. It is worth noting that the think tank took money from George Soros as well.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that the United States seeks to help its NATO allies to fight, among other things, Russian propaganda. However, we would not publish this material if it was only about propaganda. Our rule of thumb is: where there the U.S. State Department is, there is the CIA as well. Earlier, we mentioned that the CIA worked with the U.S. State Department side by side, using diplomatic cover to conduct secret operations abroad. This time, we’ll talk about how CIA used their agent Jakub Janda to help to bring a former army general Petr Pavel to power.
