Description

- For years the US infiltrated and took control over Bangladesh's media, education system, and political networks, exercising increasing levels of control over the country and its politics, resulting in the successful overthrow of the government; - Street protests featured violent extremists defended by the US government as "abused" by the government despite a history of terrorism and crimes against humanity; - Muhammad Yunus, now heading the interim government, had been a long-term US-backed asset, a US State Department Fulbright scholar, having received multiple "medals" from the US government, the Nobel Peace Prize, as well as having approached the US government to intervene in Bangladesh's politics on his behalf, according to Wikileaks; - The inability of Bangladesh to uproot US interference resulted in the eventual destabilization of the country, serving as an example of how important it is for nations to protect their information space, education systems, and political networks; References: Voice of America - Bangladesh Politician Faces Discipline Over Threat Against US Envoy (November 15, 2023): https://www.voanews.com/a/bangladesh-politician-faces-discipline-over-threat-against-us-envoy/7356551.html BBC - Bangladesh PM blames political foes for violence (July 23, 2024): https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c72056rg2zpo VOA (republishing AP) - Bangladesh bans Jamaat-e-Islami party following violent protests that left more than 200 dead (): https://www.voanews.com/a/bangladesh-bans-jamaat-e-islami-party-following-violent-protests-that-left-more-than-200-dead/7725744.html US State Department - 2023 Report on International Religious Freedom: Bangladesh: https://www.state.gov/reports/2023-report-on-international-religious-freedom/bangladesh/ The Guardian - US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev (November 2004): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa NYT - U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings (April 2011): https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/world/15aid.html Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) - Unified List of Recognized Terrorist Organizations: http://www.fsb.ru/fsb/npd/terror.htm Time Magazine - Bangladesh Protesters Pitch Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus to Lead Interim Government (August 6, 2024): https://time.com/7008183/bangladesh-muhammad-yunus-interim-government-leader-protesters/ Fulbright - Muhammad Yunus: https://www.fulbrightprogram.org/muhammad-yunus/ CMIB - Project Head Team: https://cmibd.com/Contents/Project%20Head%20Team Yunus Centre - Professor Yunus among 16 Recipients of Presidential Medal of Freedom (2009): https://www.muhammadyunus.org/post/417/professor-yunus-among-16-recipients-of-presidential-medal-of-freedom Yunus Centre - Dr. Muhammad Yunus, first American Muslim recipient of Congressional Gold Medal (2013): https://www.muhammadyunus.org/post/1104/dr-muhammad-yunus-first-american-muslim-recipient-of-congressional-gold-medal Wikileaks - NOBEL PRIZE WINNER DR.

When I heard the keywords, Student protest, Nobel peace prize winner, pro democracy… I knew this is the same movie we’ve seen over and over again… Different pot, same recipe.

“A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA” — Alan Weinstein, founder of National Endowment of Democracy (NED). This is what happened in Bangladesh. “The new world of spyless coups” - Washington Post, 1991

Why don’t countries kick out those NGO that are really just puppets of NED? Singapore kicked them out and recently HK changed its la allowing them to charge them so they left HK as soon as that law was enacted!

3 points to the situation. 1. There is already a civil war in neighboring Myanmar, so the United States is creating a vast source of instability between India and China, which in the long term could involve these countries in an indirect military clash if they want to restore order in nearby regions. Something like Ukraine, which provokes a war between NATO and Russia. 2. Russia is building a nuclear power plant in Bangladesh and termination of the contract will damage Rosatom’s reputation. 3. Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the US was involved in her resignation: “I could have stayed in power by giving up the sovereignty of St Martin and giving the US control of the Bay of Bengal.” As The Economic Times writes, citing her entourage, in the past she refused to provide Washington with the Bangladeshi Island of St. Martin in the Bay of Bengal for an American military base.

Very easy to understand why this happens: Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Iran, Bangladesh - all vital overland trade corridors that connect China to the rest of the world.
