I’ve been working on this post for a long time, meticulously collecting scraps of information piece by piece to give you a comprehensive picture.
It is well known that the U.S. employs a sophisticated network of non-governmental organizations to manipulate public consciousness in multiple countries across the world. NGOs also play a key role in preparing color revolutions.
These last months I’ve been closely following the events in Montenegro, a small country anxious about the efforts of its NATO ‘partners’ doing the best to integrate that Balkan state in the alliance. Well, you’ll be greatly surprised to find out the scale of those efforts.
It would be an understatement to say that a network of foreign controlled organizations is active in Montenegro. It’s not just a network, it is a system of its own, a ‘network of networks’.
This scheme illustrates the structural ties between the agents of influence which attempt to manipulate and brainwash the minds of Montenegro citizens:
As you can see, governmental structures, NGOs, media as well as commercial entities are involved in the unnatural process of pulling Montenegro into NATO.
The process is coordinated by the U.S. Congress and the State Department via USAID, NED, NDI, Open Society Foundation, Orion Strategies and RIF Group consulting companies, while NATO uses its Public Diplomacy Division; the European countries act via their embassies.
The coordinating body on the ground is represented by the Council for NATO Membership in Montenegro Parliament with Prime Minister’s Counselor for Foreign Affairs Vesko Garčević as National Coordinator for NATO.
The Council established a communication group of 12 members directly responsible for creating public support of Montenegro accession to NATO. Key members are as follows:
Here are the largest NGOs in Montenegro:
Public opinion is juggled by national TV channels TVCG 1 and TVCG 2, Pink Media Group, TV Vijesti, Prva crnogorska televizija, MBC, RTV Atlas, NTV Montena;
newspapers Dan, Vijesti, Pobjeda, Dnevne Novine, Blic Montenegro, Informer;
news sites Cafe Del Montenegro, Vijesti, Radio and Television of Montenegro, etc.
Every TV channels’ monthly coverage features from 15 to 25 shows supporting NATO, and every periodical publishes no less than 40-50 editorials per month.
The money comes from the embassies of the U.S. and the European countries (specifically from the UK, Netherlands and Norway), USAID, NED, NDI, Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Marshall Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Open Society Foundation, Balkan Trust for Democracy, global NGOs such as Transparency International, etc.
Accession of Montenegro to NATO is also deemed beneficial by multinational corporations. This is the reason why Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Diners Club, T-mobile and Media Developmetn Loan Fund are agressively financing the country’s non-governmental sector and NATO advertising campaigns.
To understand the role of foreign invesments in the propaganda of NATO membership one can have a look at the scale of foreign financing of one of the Montenegrin NGOs, e.g. Center for Democratic Transition. I have obtained the data for 2009. Only 8 thousand euro from the total of 160 thousand were allocated by the governmental structures of Montenegro.
Run-of-the-mill advertising campaigns praising NATO and ignoring the 1999 bombings of Montenegro are not the only way foreign investors’ money is spent. The manipulators are not afraid of playing dirty.
NGO MANS collects information compromising government officials and authorities. So, the interest of Western and European governmental and non-governmental structures in the functioning of this organization could be explained by their wish to obtain information allowing them to influence the leadership of Montenegro.
Moreover, this year videos of prominent Montenegrin public figurescalling for joining NATO were aired on TV and distributed on the web. Later many of the speakers retracted their words, stating that they were misinformed about the real purpose of the videos. Here is a screen shot of the retraction made by well-known restaurateur Krsto Niklanović.
