FLASKBACK | 1997 | Imperialism and NGOs in Latin America
"NGOs emphasize projects, not movements; they “mobilize” people to produce at the margins but not to struggle to control the basic means of production and wealth; they focus on technical financial assistance of projects, not on structural conditions that shape the everyday lives of people. The NGOs co-opt the language of the left: “popular power,” “empowerment,” “gender equality,” “sustainable development,” “bottom-up leadership.” The problem is that this language is linked to a framework of collaboration with donors and government agencies that subordinate practical activity to non-confrontational politics."

USAID Grants $3 Million to Solidarity Center’s Bogotá Office – Unionists Want to Know Why
"The NED exists for one reason–to manipulate governments, social movements and elections in other countries in order to advance the international policies of the US which, in turn, are designed to accommodate private access to natural resources and increase transnational corporate profits. In an interview with the New York Times in 1991, Allen Weinstein, one of the NED’s founders, said that, 'A lot of what we do today was done covertly by the CIA.'”
Imperialists Encroach Upon Nepal and India Through Funded NGO’s
"Imperialist powers continue to encroach upon Nepal, India and other third-world countries, pushing their agenda through the medium of NGO’s. These are funded by international agencies such as the Ford Foundation and thrive in bringing forth issues based on identity while sidelining those which are the real issues of survival as they are politically inconvenient."

The Morales Government: Neoliberalism in Disguise?
"A useful starting point is the politics of the first TIPNIS march. Among the 16 demands of the protest were calls to support converting Bolivia’s forests into carbon credits (in line with the imperialist-sponsored Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation scheme) and shutting down 90 percent of Bolivia’s gas industry. The consequences of these demands would have been to auction off Bolivia’s forests to capitalist interests while closing off the major resource in Bolivia’s efforts to industrialise. Far from representing an anti-capitalist programme, these demands could only pave the way for transnational capital to reassert its power over Bolivia. Of course, the international campaign against the Morales government made no mention or criticism of these issues."
