Ex-US Marine exposes deep-rooted US plot behind Nepal regime change

Brian Berletic, a former US Marine, author and international relations expert, has revealed how US and Western financiers actively worked to overthrow the coalition government of Nepal led by pro-China Communist leader KP Sharma Oli in a stage-managed protest as part of a deep-rooted conspiracy.

In a video released on YouTube on Sunday, Berletic said that the Nepal protests against social media ban and alleged corruption were not spontaneous or grassroots, but were triggered by a foreign-funded coalition, as was seen in previous instances in Bangladesh, Indonesia and elsewhere in the last decade.

He also explained the role of Hami Nepal, a civic organisation led by Sudan Gurung who announced the protest, as well as other groups who had been training the Gen Z population for a long time with funding from the US State Department, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the Open Society Foundations of notorious George Soros.

“Let’s start with the Nepali government banning social media platforms, the supposed trigger for the protests – this issue was ongoing for months, if not longer – the government of Nepal was trying to gain some sort of control over its information space, otherwise completely dominated and controlled by US-based social media platforms.

“In February of this year, we had WESTERN organizations condemning Nepal for trying to pass a ‘social media bill.’”

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said that Nepalese lawmakers should reject the social media bill, which would threaten press freedom.

CPJ: Nepal lawmakers should reject social media bill threatening press freedom

According to the statement, CPJ said the Nepalese government should withdraw a recently introduced social media bill that is expected to undermine press freedom.

“Nepal’s proposed social media law is ripe for misuse against journalists reporting on critical topics of public interest,” said CPJ Asia Program Coordinator Beh Lih Yi. “Nepalese lawmakers should refuse to accept the proposed legislation unless it is significantly revised to protect the rights to freedom of expression and privacy.”

Berletic dug into the CPJ’s financiers to find out why it was talking about Nepal’s internal political affairs. Their funding can be found in their 2023 annual report, which names Open Society, the Ford Foundation, major US media corporations like News Corporation, Fox News, Newsweek, New York Times, The Washington Post, NBC, ABC News, CNN, and corporations and banks like AT&T, Citi, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs.

“Many of the corporations we find funding think tanks promoting sanctions, regime change, and war around the globe or are directly involved in lying to the public to help advance these policies. But also, Google, Meta, Microsoft – at least 2 of which would directly stand to lose influence over Nepal if the bill passed – an OBVIOUS conflict of interest.

“So CPJ wants to stop this bill because all the corporations and foundations funding them would lose their ability to continue directly interfering in Nepal’s information space and thus political and economic space – worse still – if Nepal did this, other nations might try also.”

Later on, as the Nepali government suspended social media platforms refusing to follow the country’s laws, the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) protested it, according to a report by The Kathmandu Post on September 5.

The report said that the FNJ and 22 other civil organisations working in the field of freedom of expression and right to information have expressed strong objection to the government’s decision to shut down social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, citing non-registration.

The FNJ is also funded by the Open Society and IFEX (International Freedom of Expression Exchange), a global network of over 100 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in about 70 countries. The IFEX itself admits that most of its members are funded by Open Society and the US NED.

Buried deep in one of FNJ’s financial statements is the National Democratic Institute (NDI), which is a subsidiary of the NED.

“Open Society Institute dominates the list of funders for IFEX members – five years ago and now, with the National Endowment for Democracy figuring prominently also.”

“The Kathmandu Post article also lists other orgs complaining about the shutdown: Digital Freedom Coalition, Freedom Forum Nepal, Internet Society Nepal Chapter, Accountability Lab Nepal, and ChildSafeNet.”

Of them, the Freedom Forum Nepal is funded by the British government – the British Embassy in Nepal is mentioned by name as well.

Accountability Lab Nepal is a branch of the Washington D.C.-based “Accountability Lab” funded by the US State Department, Open Society, and the Ford Foundation.

ChildSafeNet is funded/partnered with Meta, and World Vision, which in turn gets funding from the US State Department, the European Commission and all these other fake NGOs the US and Europe are funding.

Berletic explained: “Is it just a coincidence that the FNJ and all of these other orgs are saying the exact same thing as CPJ months earlier? No – they’re all funded by the same circle of US and European governments, Western foundations, and US-based social media platforms that would directly lose influence and impunity in Nepal if the law passed.

“This is why they worked in concerts – because they are funded by the same foreign interests, pursuing the exact same foreign agenda. So, the big push back and the storm of articles, videos, and opposition to Nepal’s social media bill and ban that triggered the protests were led by orgs funded by US-European governments, foundations, and corporations – not the ‘Nepo Kids’ or ‘Gen Z.’”
