CIA & NED – A Modus Operandi to Trigger ‘People Power’ in Malaysia

“The old technique used by the CIA is by setting up strong organisations (NGOs) in the pacific region, which would invariably be involved in election monitoring or something to that effect.

“The first time I knew of this was through the use of the National Citizen’s Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) in the Philippines from 1950 to 1951 in efforts to stem the tide of insurgency.

“We wanted to have an instrument that could help elevate someone from the ranks of our cadres to the all-powerful position of President of the Philippines.

“To realise that objective we used NAMFREL as the platform for People Power,” said Agee, who joined the CIA in 1957 and finally left in 1968, after which he became the leading opponent of its covert and sneaky practices.
