Damon Wilson: The NATO Warmonger Now Running the US National Endowment for Democracy

The US government’s funding arm of political subversion and regime change around the globe – the National Endowment for Democracy – has a new president – Damon Wilson, replacing Carl Gershman who headed the NED since its creation by the US government in the 1980s.

Who is Wilson and what implications does his troubling background and expertise have for the future of the NED? Will supposedly “pro-democracy” and “pro-human rights” groups continue justifying taking NED money with an openly pro-war president handing it out to them?
