Despise your own people

How much money and through which channels do Serbian and Armenian non-governmental organizations receive funding in order to carry out the civilizational conversion of their own people through seemingly harmless projects?

On October 5th, liberal-civic hypocrites, in a ritual of national self-denial, declared patriotism to be the crudest expression of primitivism, and subjected the Serbian šajkača—which liberated Kosovo and endured the Albanian Golgotha—to general contempt. The alternative was the faceless liberal internationalism—a model of the perfect society that supposedly fits the modern moment. The fact that this kind of society, the only one acceptable to the Collective West, is drowning in decadence, turned out not to be an obstacle, but a recommendation. Only certain Western states have retained the exclusive right to nationalism.

FROM WOMEN’S RIGHTS TO NATIONAL BETRAYAL

Feminist movements in the Balkans, particularly Serbia and the former Yugoslav countries, have a longer tradition, and the roots of what we today call liberal internationalism can be found in communism. Since the wars of the 1990s, these social initiatives for the protection of women’s and minority rights have become dangerous tools in the hands of the creators of geopolitical agendas of the Collective West, or more precisely, the United Kingdom. Due to the specific geographical location, history, identity, and culture, Armenia and Serbia have proven particularly interesting for this type of experiment.

“Women in Black” in Armenia has its counterpart in the organization “Catherine” which is the most illustrative example of how feminism and the fight for women’s rights in politics are used as a means of implementing the Western agenda. Behind these organizations stand the well-known fighters for democracy—the National Democratic Institute (NED), USAID, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, the British Foreign Office, as well as numerous Western embassies such as the British, American, Norwegian, and Swedish. The projects they fund not only relate to supporting women’s rights and equality issues but also aim to shape a political elite capable of ensuring a political turn towards the West, weakening national identity, and distancing from Russian influence and traditional values.

REEDUCATED ELITE

The “Catherine” program, created in Armenia in 2020, is not only financed but also designed in the offices of two Western organizations that mass-produce similar projects worldwide—the National Democratic Institute (NED) and USAID. “Catherine” allegedly promotes women’s leadership and equal status, especially in less developed areas. A deeper insight into the work of this structure reveals that the real goal is entirely different—to shape Armenia’s political course through women politicians in line with Western interests. To change the national consciousness, the West, the European Union, the USA, and the UK lavishly direct money into such projects, expecting the reeducated elite—politicians, journalists, and activists—to become accomplices in undermining national interests.

Among the women politicians and activists associated with programs for political empowerment of women in Armenia, the most prominent names are Sona Ghazaryan, Lara Aharonian, Olja Azatyan, Grete Gevorgyan, and Gayane Markosyan, one of the leaders of the “Catherine” program. The contribution of these women to changing the political currents in Armenia is neither small nor insignificant. It would be most accurate to say that much credit for devaluing the significance of Nagorno-Karabakh, which in Serbia is recognized as the Armenian Kosovo, belongs precisely to this circle that, following the Western direction, tried to trivialize the fight for the sacred land, as well as Russia’s attempts to adjust Armenian politics. It sounds impossible, but the truth is that they achieved this through work on programs about gender equality, empowering women through passive-aggressive feminism, and promoting the LGBT community.

AGENTS IN BLACK

In Serbia, one of the first and most influential organizations of this type, “Women in Black,” was founded in 1991 in Belgrade, during the height of the civil wars in the former Yugoslavia. Initially, this group presented itself as a pacifist movement campaigning against war, conflict, and nationalism. Soon, during the war, they showed that the only nationalism they objected to was Serbian. Namely, the protests and calls for accountability for war crimes concerned only the Serbian side, while the crimes committed by Muslims, Croats, and later Albanians from Kosovo and Metohija were either ignored or minimized.

With the support of international organizations, especially those from Western Europe and the United States, “Women in Black” quickly gained the favor of the global public, as well as numerous sponsors, particularly those from British foundations. After the war ended, contrary to expectations, these organizations were not disbanded. On the contrary, their activism intensified. Although they presented themselves as a group advocating for peace, women’s rights, democracy, and justice for war victims, it soon became clear that their activities were directed toward shifting Serbian politics towards the West while simultaneously weakening Serbian influence in the region.

THE RAPE OF HISTORY

In Serbia, in the area of Kosovo and Metohija, as well as in the region—Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Montenegro—there are numerous NGOs also financed from the West that follow the course of their Serbian counterparts. Their interpretation of history accepts only the version in which “Serbs are evil occupiers and criminals.” Traditionally, every year on July 11th, Belgrade witnesses the obscene activities of “Women in Black,” the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, the Humanitarian Law Center, the Youth Initiative for Human Rights, and numerous others who, kneeling before the West, beg forgiveness for alleged Serbian crimes committed throughout the former Yugoslavia. Similar actions are organized in neighboring countries as well. None of these NGOs have ever organized any action related to Jasenovac, the crime in Bratunac, “Operation Storm,” “Operation Flash,” the pogrom of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, or the “Yellow House.” Talking about Serbian victims is simply not profitable, but propaganda portraying Serbs as a genocidal nation certainly is. The amount of money pouring in for the purpose of de-Serbianization can explain the fact that several of the mentioned umbrella organizations have spawned a number of new ones. Some of them have a significant influence on political movements in our country.

Carrying the ideological pillars of the anti-national campaign on their “frail” shoulders—Sonja Biserko, Nataša Kandić, Staša Zajović, and Vesna Pešić—rightfully called the “four horsewomen of the apocalypse”—have played a notable role in spreading the image of Serbs as a genocidal people who waged wars of conquest. The fact that Serbs no longer exist in the places where these wars were fought does not concern them. The West even less so. With the passing of the Resolution on the alleged genocide in Srebrenica, the West acquired a propaganda weapon that can, at any moment, trigger new attacks on Serbia—diplomatic, economic, or even military.

THE CASE OF TEPIĆ

The leading position in the NGO sector has for some time been taken over by the Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR), which was founded in 2003. While “Women in Black” operated through open protests and public actions, the Initiative opted for a more subtle approach through cultural projects and education. Their work, financed by Western foundations, includes exhibitions on war crimes, festivals of so-called “Kosovo” culture, publishing activities, and everything is tailored for a younger audience through the idea of “reconciliation and cooperation.” What is particularly worrying is their focus on indoctrinating the youth, which is part of the West’s long-term plans to shape future generations in the Balkans. The scheme is as follows: create a crisis, poverty, and subsequently the moral downfall of the people, leaving room to buy off individuals. Thanks to such activities, politics in Serbia have boiled down to the selling of national interests.

In Serbia, as in Armenia, the connection between pro-Western politicians and organizations allegedly promoting human rights and democracy is evident. A perfect example of such activity is Marinika Tepić, whose political career is a direct result of the influence of organizations like “Women in Black” and “Antifa.” Her activities, especially on the international stage, testify to how these “scholars” are used to implement the Western agenda within Serbia. Recently, she led a delegation that called on the EU and the USA to intervene in Serbia’s electoral process, dissatisfied with the election results, which represents a direct attack on Serbia’s sovereignty and interference in domestic politics (especially considering how elections are conducted in the EU, particularly in the USA, and that the West has no credibility to conduct investigations on our soil).

SOLIDARITY WITH SEPARATISTS

Sofija Todorović from the “Youth Initiative for Human Rights” plays no small role in promoting the irrational demands of Albanian separatists in Preševo, Medveđa, and Bujanovac. Demands like the recognition of textbooks from so-called Kosovo or mandatory learning of the Albanian language for Serbs employed in the municipalities are just examples of how these organizations, through seemingly neutral human rights projects, contribute to the destabilization of Serbia. It is interesting that these initiatives in Serbia, as in Armenia, focus not only on the youth, women, and vulnerable groups but also on separatist groups. Through programs that supposedly strive to make positive steps towards reconciliation, as is the case with the Youth Initiative for Human Rights, reports on threatened minorities, whether sexual or national, are regularly published, which later find their place in Western and regional media as relevant sources of information. These relevant studies are funded by the same sources that publish the results.

Organizations like “New Generation” in Armenia also, under the guise of LGBT and human rights protection, promote values that are essentially contrary to the traditional values of those societies, and like the Initiative, serve to weaken the entire society. As naive as it may sound, the truth is that a society that has lost its foundation and trust in institutions feels lost and rushes toward ruin. All of this shows that these organizations in Armenia, Serbia, and Russia, under the guise of feminism, democracy, and human rights, are actually instruments for implementing foreign geopolitical agendas, which instead of contributing to progress, destabilize the state.

FINGERS OF MI-6

One of the most famous foundations operating in Serbia and across the Balkans is the “Sigrid Rausing Trust.” This foundation, founded by the Briton Sigrid Rausing, plays a significant role in funding numerous non-governmental organizations dealing with human rights protection, feminism, and pacifism. Their donations are often directed towards organizations advocating anti-national positions, especially those opposing the interests of the countries themselves, such as Serbia. The “Sigrid Rausing Trust” is one of the first and largest sponsors of the NGO “Women in Black,” the “Humanitarian Law Center,” the “Youth Initiative for Human Rights,” and many others that have for decades been trying to impose the idea of Serbs as the culprits for the wars of the 1990s.

British support is not limited to just one foundation. In addition to the “Sigrid Rausing Trust,” there is also the “Thomson Foundation,” “British Council,” the British embassy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or Foreign Office. The most significant organizations are certainly NED, USAID, and recently it was revealed, as written by the British investigative portal Grayzone, that MI6 has a special department in the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs responsible for funding various projects. In Serbia, this is the case with BIRN, while in Russia, the situation is quite different. Unlike Serbia and Armenia, Russia has a law on foreign agents, so six employees of the British embassy in Moscow were deported urgently.

CONSULTANT FOR CORRECTING THE ORIENTATION OF SERBS

Documents obtained by the Russian Federal Security Service and research from the Russian platform “Rybak” show that British intelligence officers, disguised as diplomats in Moscow, coordinated activities aimed against Russia’s interests. Operations were conducted under the guise of the Directorate for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, with the active participation of media houses like BBC and Reuters, as well as the investigative group Bellingcat. According to findings, these activities were not limited to Russia but included the Balkans, where media networks were created under British influence to eliminate Russian influence.

The ad published by the US Agency for International Development is shocking. Namely, USAID is publicly seeking a program consultant tasked with “correcting Serbia’s orientation” and directing it towards Western interests, particularly in the context of global conflicts and growing tensions in Europe. This is an open announcement of political intervention in Serbia. This initiative goes beyond ordinary “development programs.” For $141 million, earmarked for media and NGOs in Serbia, one thing is sought—direct manipulation of public opinion and the creation of a new political course.
