The huge death tolls in Iran being splashed all over the media are sourced to an outfit in Fairfax, VA called “Human Rights Activists in Iran” that is overwhelmingly funded by the US government. What is their methodology? Is it credible? Who cares? Just pump the big numbers out.
National Endowment for Democracy (NED) received $315 million in FY2025, and GOP appropriators just released their FY2026 spending bill – NED will again receive $315 million. This “Human Rights Activists in Iran” outfit, based in Northern Virginia, says it’s an NED grantee.
These are all the NED 990 forms that I’ve found on ProPublica where HRANA is mentioned by searching the employer identification number 80-0841029 inside each link:
HRANA is definitely on that NED money
Thanks king
FOUND IT THANKS TO YOU ITS FROM THE 2015 990. Thats so unintentionally deceptive lmfao
In 2016 the NED changed the name of the recipient of the grant on their 990 from Human Rights Activists in Iran to the acronym HRAI. This will help anyone reading prove to those you are radicalizing that the sources being cited by mainstream news are on the NED payroll still which segues nicely into talking about the NED and its history of destabilization.
Creator of the image, like me, didn’t ctrl+f the tax id of the "n"go like we should have.
