NDI https://www.ndi.org/board-directors (Speaking of Daschle - Donna Brazille and Stacey Abrams are board members)
IRI https://www.iri.org/who-we-are/ (Graham - McCain was the head of it at one time)
NED seems to get the most funding from congress but helps fund NDI and IRI who also get a little funding from congress.
These three NGOs are who really run our foreign policy. The CEO/president of NED which is the primary NGO of the three is this fellow, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Wilson#Career
He’s had a say in Afghanistan and Eastern Europe affairs for 20 years and has worked closely with and at one time for, NATO.
The three NGOs are US foreign policy.
Gotta wonder, if a member of congress is on the board of an NGO funded by congress, do they get a paycheck from the NGO they appropriate funds to???
It’s a big f-ing club and we ain’t in it.
You got that right!!...... I read that wonderful ndi “mission statement” and almost puked....
