> To put a name to this organization, it is called the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).

No, NED is a completely unrelated organization. The 501c3 that runs Radio Free Europe is RFE/RL, Inc. (the name conbining the abbreviations for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty.)

> Radio Free Europe/Asia/etc." is a common offering of theirs

No, Radio Free Asia is a separate 501c3, which is, like RFE/RL, funded by the Broadcasting Board of Governors through the U.S. Agency for Global Media; NED isn’t connected to it.

Shell companies. Circles within circles. Fractal foundations.

Turns out the Board at the USAGM is disbanded. It is now controlled by a Senate-confirmed (presumably president-appointed) CEO. Now they are even less accountable than before!

> NED is a completely unrelated organization

Interesting, then what are they involved in, and why the common refrain that they control Radio Free X?

You're right that I misattributed, but it is still fact that both organizations (NED and USAGM) fund propaganda-style campaigns in foreign nations with the goal of changing public opinion toward pro-Western viewpoints.
