How CIA Pumps Up Kosovo With Weapons Through Czech Republic
“In spite of the public attention the CIA has received, we can assume that, like the iceberg, the greater portion lies well below eye level” – Worldview, September, 1965
During about six months, our team has been unraveling a large-scale CIA network for the trade and illegal proliferation of weapons around the world. However, the more progress we make in our investigations, the more sophisticated and horrifying picture becomes.
It was quite obvious that the CIA had a large number of operatives and whistleblowers abroad. But the fact that some European business elites and even heads of state were under the control of the Agency was a kind of surprise to all of us, but first things first.
Part I: European Values under CIA’s supervision
Throughout its history, the CIA’s foreign operative methods have included the creation of so-called “non-governmental organizations.” With their help, the Agency to this day brings the “right” people to power, shape public opinion and, if necessary, removes those who pose a threat.
Today, we want to tell you about the “European Values” (EV) non-governmental organization, which deals with “full-scale democratic response to hostile disinformation operations.” The EV Executive Director is an officer of Active Reserve of the Czech Armed Forces within the Czech Cyber and Information Warfare Command Jakub Janda.
According to its website, the EV is not affiliated with any political party in the Czech Republic, its funding is provided by “various institutions and private donors.” However, if you look at the EV annual reports, one of the main donors of this think tank were the U.S. State Department, USAID and the U.S. Embassy in the Czech Republic, which over the past three years allocated about one million dollars. The total amount donated to the EV was estimated in millions of dollars. It is worth noting that the think tank took money from George Soros as well.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that the United States seeks to help its NATO allies to fight, among other things, Russian propaganda. However, we would not publish this material if it was only about propaganda. Our rule of thumb is: where there the U.S. State Department is, there is the CIA as well. Earlier, we mentioned that the CIA worked with the U.S. State Department side by side, using diplomatic cover to conduct secret operations abroad. This time, we’ll talk about how CIA used their agent Jakub Janda to help to bring a former army general Petr Pavel to power.
Petr Pavel for President
According to our source, in 2014, the U.S. State Department entrusted the EV, headed at that time by Radko Hokovský, with the task of popularizing Army General Petr Pavel as the future president of the Czech Republic. His deputy Jakub Janda approached this task with full responsibility.
Since 2015, Jakub Janda has been singing praises of Petr Pavel on various talk shows and interviews. Janda’s articles about Pavel were published by the Newsweek, the Atlantic Council, the EUobserver and other major news outlets around the globe, each time opening the Overton window wider.
Jakub Janda also launched a large-scale influence operation on Facebook by creating numerous fan pages and groups dedicated to Petr Pavel. Janda himself did not hesitate to write adoring recommendations about his protégé, criticizing then-President Miloš Zeman at the same time.
