Radio Free Asia (RFA) – A U.S. State Department Psyop in Asia 💰 Funding: • Fully funded by the U.S. government through USAID and the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM). • Receives over $43M annually to operate “independent journalism” projects in China, North Korea, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Cambodia. • Partners with National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Open Society Foundations (Soros). • Works closely with U.S. intelligence-backed NGOs like Freedom House. What they do: Radio Free Asia (RFA) claims to be an independent watchdog of human rights in Asia but is actually a CIA-era psychological warfare tool used to destabilize U.S. adversaries. Major Exposures: 1. Cold War Origins – A U.S. Government Propaganda Creation • RFA was originally founded by the CIA in 1951 as part of Cold War psychological operations. • Its mission: Spread anti-communist propaganda in China, North Korea, and Vietnam under the pretense of “independent journalism.” • Despite claiming to be independent, RFA’s funding and editorial oversight come directly from the U.S. government. 2. Running Disinformation Campaigns Against China • RFA is the leading media outlet spreading stories about China’s Xinjiang policies, often citing “anonymous sources.” • In 2020, RFA published reports claiming “millions” of Uyghurs were in concentration camps—without verifiable evidence. • RFA amplified the “genocide” narrative in Xinjiang, despite leaked U.S. government cables showing this claim was a “useful geopolitical weapon” against China. 3. U.S. Election Interference in Cambodia & Myanmar • RFA is heavily involved in backing pro-U.S. opposition movements in Southeast Asia. • In Cambodia, RFA actively supported U.S.-backed opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who fled to France after corruption charges. • Example: In Myanmar, RFA provided on-the-ground media support to anti-junta protesters, aligning with U.S. regime change efforts. 4. Fabricating Stories on DPRK to Justify Sanctions • In 2019, RFA reported that North Korea had executed a senior official—which was later proven false when the official appeared alive on state TV. • RFA routinely publishes unverifiable stories about North Korean “secret nuclear tests” to push for more U.S. sanctions. • CIA defectors confirmed that RFA has been used to send coded messages to anti-government factions inside North Korea.
