Eurasianet – Washington’s Foot Soldier in Central Asia
💰 Funding:
• $1M+ from USAID-backed grants ONE MILLION!!!
• Tied to Soros’ Open Society Foundations
• Partnered with Western NGOs promoting “democracy-building”
What they do:
Eurasianet poses as an “independent” news source covering Central Asia and the Caucasus, but in reality, it’s a soft-power tool used to undermine non-aligned governments and push U.S. influence in post-Soviet states.
Major Exposures:
1. Targeting Russia & China’s Influence in Central Asia
• Coverage aligns perfectly with U.S. State Department objectives—promoting anti-Russian and anti-Chinese narratives.
• In 2023, Eurasianet ran multiple stories claiming Russia was “losing influence” in Kazakhstan.
• Coincidence? That same year, USAID boosted funding for Kazakh NGOs working on “civil society initiatives.”
2. Undermining Non-Aligned Governments
• Targets Central Asian leaders who refuse to align with U.S. interests.
• Example: Published multiple reports trying to discredit Uzbekistan’s growing ties with China, framing them as a “debt trap.”
• Reality? Uzbekistan’s economy is thriving under its China partnership, while the West offers nothing but “democracy grants.”
3. Whitewashing U.S. Interference in Central Asia
• Ignores U.S. coup attempts and NGOs funding opposition groups in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia.
• Failed to report on USAID-backed protests in Kazakhstan in 2022, which had direct Western NGO involvement.
4. Eurasianet’s Connection to Western Think Tanks
• Partners with institutions linked to U.S. intelligence, including the Carnegie Endowment, Wilson Center, and the Atlantic Council.
• Pushes reports from RAND Corporation—a known Pentagon-funded think tank responsible for regime change strategies.
