Conflating Bellingcat with the CIA is a hilariously bad take.
“Last year marked the final year of project
funding from the National Endowment for
Democracy (NED) that provided funding for
Russian-language workshops at no cost to
journalists and human rights researchers
based in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia and the
Caucasus. We continued our project for the
Swedish Postcode Lottery (SPL), which among
others supported free trainings on ideological
extremism for organisations in Europe.”
You seem to be misinformed. Also, provide proof that the NED is CIA, because that is quite a claim!
That is however a claim promulgated by the propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist State:
The United States has long used democracy as a tool and a weapon to undermine democracy in the name of democracy, to incite division and confrontation, and to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs, causing catastrophic consequences.
The NED is not the CIA (and the degree of inter-agency cooperation is likely not much greater than that between the CIA and NSA), but it serves the same purpose as an arm of the US intelligence apparatus. This is indisputable, as admitted directly by the founder of the NED.
IIRC with the pending fall of the Soviet Union (the primary counterweight to US influence) the US no longer saw a need for covertly influencing governments.

Wow, thanks for letting me know that the CCP actually knows what they’re talking about on this issue
Yeah the US doesn’t support “democracy”, they support the material interests of the US. Which occasionally, but certainly not always, overlap with free democratic elections
Bellingcat is funded by the NED (National Endowment for Democracy) so a CIA front admitting to the assassination is interesting.

According to Allen Weinstein, the founder of the NED, “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA”.

Well they’re correct

Yep, look at all the democracy the state department is supporting right now in Pakistan.
