The American people have been subject to non-ending taxation for "national security" which invariably involves the use of American paid military expenditures to defend ”Democracy" and "Free Trade" specifically and most usually in the European Theatre. One wonders why in 2008 the United States must defend a larger and more populous country like the EU against Soviet, or now, Russian threats when these threats are now at least historically recognized to be fabrications. The Soviet Union and its heirs like Russia and the "Istans" of Central Asia have never had ambitions for influencing the prosperity of the American people, and their military expenditures have always, followed, and then lagged US military expenditures for forces surrounding their natural boundaries of security. So now today we see the EU-NATO, "Europe", playing the good guy, while the American government does its bit to foster another cold war on the borders of Russia. Why and how is this achieved?

The answer lies less in the operations of US and EU military and intelligence agencies, then in the machinations of private, non-governmental, intelligence organizations, pretending to behave as philanthropic organizations. These organizations tend to be transnational, privately funded, and tied to certain economic interests in the areas in which they apply cultural pressure, sometimes even resulting in "regime change", as we saw in the Colored revolutions which occurred in the republics of Georgia and the Ukraine. In both these cases, and in the other major casus belli, Darfur,-Sudan, this has involved the economic interests of a consortium of major European oil companies. In the Sudan, a major oil operating company once had the name of “BP Canada”, and in the Caspian region, it involved the BP led BTC pipeline consortium. We are told in the media that these companies are fierce competitors, but in every region of the geo-economic conflict areas of the planet, they operate together as various consortia; almost always involving the same EU companies, BP, Shell, ENI, or Total. These same companies then in turn fund directly, or indirectly, non governmental organizations, and foreign policy think tanks.

Observers have long known that think tanks like the Council on Foreign Relations or other conspiracy bogeymen are nothing more than paid propaganda hacks for multinational corporate interests. It is less well known that many philanthropic foundations and activist organizations function in supportive ways.

It now appears well established that both the Open Society Foundations and their interlinked cousin the International Crisis Group share personnel, funding, and comparative supportive policy views with their parent foreign policy hack propaganda fronts. This is shy they should no longer be referred to as NGOs, but as NGIOs, Non governmental Intelligence Organizations.

They serve the function of public relations and public opinion shaping so called “independent” peace keeping intermediaries while in fact they serve the agenda of their funding sources. None of this of course requires a conspiracy, simple organizational evolution in an institutional economics setting, explains their behavior. Yet even the most jaded observers of these NGOIS must roll their eyes when they find that these philanthropic organizations attend NATO planning conferences and recruit their operatives out of US information agencies and alleged EU intelligence fronts.

The evidence, if circumstantial, is overwhelming:

Right click and download the public information on these NGOIS in the Data Almanac NGIOs and then ask yourself are they serving the interests of peace, or even the interests of the American people who have no quarrel with Russia and seek and would like eventually to sip paying gold and blood to serve the interests of a European financial –oil-weapons cartel.
