Free Trade: Economic Redistribution of Wealth
November 13, 1979 – Official Announcement of Candidacy for President
It is no accident that this unmatched potential for progress and prosperity exists in three countries with such long-standing heritages of free government. A developing closeness among Canada, Mexico and the United States — a North American accord . . .

NED Origins and History
On June 8, 1982, Ronald Reagan gave an address to the British Parliament. At the bottom of printed speech, a video of the speech can be viewed. Notice, he didn’t use the term ‘Project Democracy’ but he used the word democracy 16 times.
From Britain, Reagan traveled to Germany where he gave a speech in front of the gates of the German Bundestag. Then, on June 11th, 1982 Reagan gave a speech at the Charlottenburg Palace. It was at the Charlottenburg Palace that Reagan accepted Leonid Brezhnev’s challenge of a competition of Systems and Ideas. Brezhnev suggested the competition in a speech at the signing of the Helsinki Final Act in 1975.
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was established in 1983 to carry out the worldwide mission of promotion of democracy – the competition of Systems and Ideas. On December 16, 1983, a signing ceremony at the White House was held for the legislation that established NED. It is documented on the NED website including a video of Reagan’s speech.
The 30 year history of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), gives the origin of the idea (emphasis added):
By the late 70’s, there was an important model for democracy assistance: the German Federal Republic’s party foundations, created after World War II to help rebuild Germany’s democratic institutions destroyed a generation earlier by the Nazis. These foundations (known as “Stiftungen”), each aligned with one of the four German political parties, received funding from the West German treasury.
Late in 1977, Washington political consultant George Agree, citing the important work being carried out by the Stiftungen, proposed creation of a foundation to promote communication and understanding between the two major U.S. political parties and other parties around the world . . . by 1980 the American Political Foundation had established an office in Washington, D.C. from which it provided briefings, appointments, and other assistance to foreign party, parliamentary, and academic visitors to the U.S.
. . . Two years later, in a major foreign policy address delivered at Westminster Palace before the British Parliament, President Reagan proposed an initiative “to foster the infrastructure of democracy–the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities–which allows a people to choose their own way, to develop their own culture, to reconcile their own differences through peaceful means.”
The American Political Foundation’s study was funded by a $300,000 grant from the Agency for International Development (AID) and it became known as “The Democracy Program.” . . . The Democracy Program recommended establishment of a bipartisan, private, non-profit corporation to be known as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
This speech reveals the objective of separating the economic system from the political system. Worldwide ‘free trade’. The United States has a population of about 300 million versus a worldwide population of about 8 billion. It’s not rocket science to say that the odds were against us. Ronald Reagan was a trojan horse for fascism as an economic management system for communism.

USAID – Evolution of A.I.D.’s Democratic Development in Latin America and the Caribbean
The above report is extraordinarily important because it shows how policy legislation over time enabled the State Department and instruments of foreign policy to be flipped and used against the American people specifically enabling USAID and NED to wage a color revolution against the American people.
Promoting democracy and respect for human rights has long been a principal objective of U.S. foreign policy and an inherent goal of the foreign assistance program. Since 1982 when President Reagan announced a major United States initiative to “foster the infrastructure of democracy” throughout the world, the foreign affairs agencies–State, USIA and AID–have placed new emphasis on policies and programs that contribute to strengthening democratic institutions.
Title IX, enacted in 1966, charged A.I.D. to concern itself with political as well as economic development, and gave additional breadth and direction to A.I.D.’s efforts to help develop self-supporting institutional frameworks within which modernization and development can take place. With the introduction in the early 1970’s of the basic needs approach directed toward “the poorest of the poor”, the policy emphasis on political development per se began to diminish, except for continued assistance to cooperatives, labor unions and private voluntary organizations, within the context of promoting “growth with equity” in economic development.
NED and USAID are behind the Color Revolutions around the world using minority populations as stooge-warriors for a war on culture of the majority population. The strategy is provided by NED to non-governmental groups who actual wage the culture war. The non-governmental groups obtain funding from benefactors that include government, foundations, corporations, etc. to actually carry out the culture war.

Color Revolutions in the Americas
President Ronald Reagan signed a treaty with Mexico on August 14, 1983 creating an international zone on the southern border of the United States. The treaty was ostensibly for border environmental clean up over which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has authority – but the State Department is the ultimate authority because they are the overseers of international treaties and there has been a steady invasion of our country from the southern border ever since but it was in 2005 when President George W. Bush linked the color revolutions to what is happening to the United States. In remarks given at the opening session of the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on June 6, 2005 said the following. (Note: At the bottom of page where Bush’s remarks are documented, there is a VIDEO of the event. That video can also be viewed on youtube.)
Bush’s reference to color revolutions:
We come together at a great moment in history, when freedom is on the march around our world. In the last year-and-a-half—think about this—we’ve witnessed a Rose Revolution in Georgia, an Orange Revolution in Ukraine, a Purple Revolution in Iraq, a Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan, a Cedar Revolution in Lebanon, and these are just the beginnings. Across central Asia, hope is stirring at the prospect of change, and change will come. Across the broader Middle East, we are seeing the rise of a new generation whose hearts burn for freedom, and they will have it.
