According to their website NED is based in washington dc. The CIA hq is not in fairfax, it is in Langley. Even if they were in the same city that is an incredibly weak argument. Custom ink (the shirt company) is also in fairfax. Are they a cia front too?
- shevy-java 9mo agoEither way the question has to be: a) HOW was the data acquired? b) WHO obtained the data?

Additionally, a large portion of NGOs are based in Fairfax county due to the proximity to DC. The NRA headquarters is in Fairfax, and Maria Butina lived down the road from the NRA headquarters. A fun game to play is following the source. For instance, when events in Xiajiang were getting nonstop coverage, nearly every article that came out would cite either the adrian zenz paper or an NGO's article, which would cite the paper. Sometimes you'd have to go a few NGO layers deep. I repeated this experiment a few dozen times, about half would lead to an office park in Fairfax County. One time it was an Australian NGO that had the US DoD as a sponsor. There is an entire industry around intelligence laundering and consent manufacturing.

- MSFT_Edging 9mo agowhat?
- mikkupikku 9mo agoDC metro traffic is hell!
- MSFT_Edging 9mo agoAh, the 30 miles threw me off.
- mikkupikku 9mo ago3 hours for 30 miles is probaby an error, or an exaggeration, but knowing the traffic on the Maryland side of that metro area, it really is quite bad..
- genghisjahn 9mo agoCan we see your documentation for this claim?
- MSFT_Edging 9mo agoWhat part? NGO/thinktanks operating within a 30 minute drive to the nation's capital? One such example is James Leibold, a scholar of Xinjiang ethnic policy. He would report on Xiajiang and the claimed genocide. He is an australian. He worked for the Jamestown Foundation based in DC. On the Board of Directors for the Jamestown Foundation is a man named Michael G Vickers, who was previously the Under Secretary of Defense for intelligence, and worked at the CIA during the Soviet-Afghan War(The one where the US funded the Mujahadeen who immediately began throwing grenades into schools for girls). Vickers was even featured in the book, "Charlie Wilson's War", about Operation Cyclone and the events which would eventually lead to blowback via 9/11, the war in Afghanistan, and the second Iraq war. This is just one example. Any time you see articles like this, follow the sources. They either wont cite anything, or will cite a thinktank/NGO staffed by career intelligence workers and funded by similar groups. https://jamestown.org/analyst/james-leibold/ https://jamestown.org/analyst/james-leibold/ https://jamestown.org/our-team/?department=board https://jamestown.org/our-team/?department=board https://jamestown.org/analyst/michael-vickers/ https://jamestown.org/analyst/michael-vickers/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_G._Vickers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_G._Vickers
- sophrosyne42 9mo ago> What part? NGO/thinktanks operating within a 30 minute drive to the nation's capital? That is a pedestrian fact. Any organization seeking influence in Washington will be located in Washington. This provides zero evidence that Washington pulls its strings or otherwise directs it. Your whole screed is irrelevant. It gives no evidence regarding Iran Int'l.

- sophrosyne42 9mo ago1. That is simply an onlooker's opinion. 2. It provides no evidence that Iran Int'l is CIA backed. If you're going to provide another link to a random journalist making assertions without evidence, save the trouble as it will be just as noncredible
