| > any concrete evidence What do you mean by "concrete evidence"? Nothing of this is disputed, they even have their own wikipedia pages for their different operations and branches within USAID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Public_Safety *Specially* that we are talking of USAID, on the case of NED for example, things get slightly murkier because then it is a matter of private rather than public record, but it still works as a tool for management of semi-clandestine operations and operations which need plausible deniability from CIA's end, or at least as much deniability as it can muster, tho these days they prefer to work with shell groups and other associated partners such as for example Atlas Network, Radio Free Asia also falls on that category, same with Voice Of America If you are interested in books both, Killing Hope by William Blum and Legacy Of Ashes by Weiner are very, very, very good authoritative sources on the matter If you prefer podcasts, Warnerd Radio has a couple very good episodes on the National Endowment For Democracy, tho they both quote excerpts of the books above Radio War Nerd EP 274 — National Endowment for Democracy, Part 1
