Why Taking US NED Money is Not OK

I cover the US National Endowment for Democracy’s (NED) board of directors - pointing out how many of them have been involved in some of the worst crimes against humanity of the 21st century including promoting and even participating in the invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003.

I also explain why taking US NED money poses a danger to national security - and specifically why Thai agitators taking the money pose a danger to Thailand’s peace, stability, and future.
