Can human rights and terrorism go hand in hand? Easily!

What links an NGO stating that it is promoting political rights and fair elections with an online media outlet carrying statements by terrorists from Russia’s Caucasus? The identity of their Washington paymaster.
In 2011, NED (the National Endowment of Democracy, a US organization sponsored by Congress, which has a habit of boosting opposition to regimes unfriendly to America) supported both the Golos organization, known for obstructing elections in Russia, to the tune of US $65,000 dollars, and the Russia-Chechnya Friendship Society, which hosts the communications network of North-Caucasian terrorists, to the tune of $49,980 dollars. Only a political autopsy, conducted at a high level, of the attempt by external powers to damage Russia’s constitutional system will provide adequate protection against a body that finances both a coup and the activities of bandits. 
It is hard to quantify finance that is non-disclosed and clandestine. Data released by the NED tell us the following: Russian-Chechen Friendship Society (RCFS) ($49,980). The NED justifies its support for this extreme organization in annually recurring terms. In 2007, the NED put its justification briefly: the job of the RCFS was to “counteract the manipulation of information on the North Caucasus by the Russian government.
Mikael Storsjö – the owner of a website promoting the terrorist Doku Umarov –  moved the RCFS to Finland,where Minister Heidi Hautala is the organization’s most prominent member and the political refugee Oksana Chelysheva its chairperson. Storsjö acknowledged his part and the US budget funding for the activities of the RCFS in criminal hearings in Finland on 8 July 2009, when he was questioned about organizing the aggravated illegal immigration of a number of Chechens. On Victory Day, 9 May 2011, the district court decided to acquit Storsjö of the charges, even though he had brought Umarov’s financing and communications organization to Finland. The court in Nizhny Novgorod investigated the activities of the RCFS between 2006 and 2007 and found it guilty of widespread tax evasion as well as propagating terrorist hatred.
In the same statement, the NED also revealed its financing for “election observation” by the organization GOLOS: Regional Civic Organization in Defense of Democratic Rights and Liberties “GOLOS” ($65,000) – “GOLOS will hold local and national press conferences and publish reports on its findings, as well as provide detailed methodological advice to its monitors and other monitoring agencies.”
E-mails sent by the GOLOS leadership reveal that the organization deliberately sowed suspicion about the Russian elections. Well before the polls, staff were recruited and organizations were financed that protested under the guise of “democracy” and “freedom of speech.” The ultimate objective was a Russia under foreign control, a so-called unipolar world. Technology provoking instability in Russia has previously been launched in Georgia, Ukraine, Kirgizia, Uzbekistan and Moldova. The demonstrations in Moscow were classic imitations of the events in Kiev in 2004.
The existence of external direction was made clear by the way US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reacted at the OSCE meeting, even though no evidence of electoral fraud had been produced. Mark Toner, spokesman at the US State Department, also expressed his concern at developments in Russia and expressed US support for all “who exercise their right to peaceful protest.”
In the cyber war, the Internet in Russia was jammed with negative, offensive comments against the government and rumors were spread against the system. The demoralization of officials was an attempt to discourage them from their duty of upholding public order and safeguarding the country’s infrastructure.
“The color revolutionaries” also interfered with the communications of organizations supporting the lawful system. Youth organizations supporting the Russian constitutional system, the Moscow environmental movement "Mestnye" and "Young Russia" (“Rossiya Molodaya” in Russian) and its leader Anton Demidov have revealed dozens of DoS attacks against their supporters’ websites. They have also documented over 200 bots (zombie computer programs) used by Aleksei Navalnyi to spread color revolutionary messages on the Russian internet.  Navalnyi was schooled in these methods at Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut), on a course officially called "creating a global network of emerging leaders and to broaden international understanding." The course ended in 2010, after which he returned to Russia for the elections.
Both Navalnyi, the Chechen bandits and Golos have the same foreign master: NED.  Recently a hacker found emails from Navalnyi, whose Excel spreadsheets refer to the sum of $23,000 from NED.
The list of wars and color revolutions and coups financed by the USA is a long one. The world would be suffocating if Washington were the only pole, and Russians were not able to elect their representatives themselves.
