looking into this asia foundation doc.

The doc

The declassified 6-page CIA memo (CIA-RDP84B00049R001303260026-4), dated November 25, 1981, is titled "THE FUTURE OF THE ASIA FOUNDATION (TAF) โ€“ DEPARTMENT POSITION." It was authored by "Palmer, Acting SE" (likely referring to an acting chief in the CIA's Southeast Asia division or equivalent).

 

basically advised or said that this PRIVATE foundation should receive direct money from the US government rather than funding by covert means as it had been in the past.

I didn't go into pre '81 past and what it had been doing before then, yet.

but up shot is it recieves ~63 million last year.. And the base amount is 22 million per year and then they add from there for special projects.

Full funding is $119.522 million

and other Countries pay some share. New Zeeland ?

What exactly it does; I havent' gone into .. I pretty positive it's the Rockefellers who own it. It 's a private foundation.

Remember being told Soros is funded with taxpayer money. Well maybe so are the Rockefellers.

Wonder what that foundation is "up to" anyway.

Maybe we should have a dig.

Trump has tried to cut them down to zero. But it's unknown what will happen going forward, since the cut is being contested.

Here are some notable pre-1981 activities, drawn from TAFโ€™s own historical records:

 

Motion-Picture Project & Asian Film Festival: TAF covertly backed the Federation of Motion Picture Producers in Asia (FPA), sponsoring the annual Asian Film Festival (launched 1954 in Tokyo). It supplied Hollywood prizes (e.g., a Mitchell movie camera), equipment, travel grants, and support for anti-communist producers, directors, and technicians in Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Burma, Malaysia, and Thailand. Hollywood figures like Frank Capra were recruited as representatives.

In South Korea: Provided filmmaking equipment, cameras, developers, and dehumidifiers to the Korean Motion Picture Cultural Association (1954โ€“1965); funded the first postwar art exhibit (1958) and the Bando Art Gallery; supplied art materials and preservation gear to the National Museum.

 

Books for Asia (flagship program, launched early 1950s/expanded 1962): Distributed millions of donated English-language books and journals to schools, universities, libraries, and research institutes across Asia. Early efforts included newsprint shipments for Korean school textbooks (1951, its very first program) and mobile/village libraries.

 

English Teachers Program (Korea, 1959): Placed the first U.S. instructors at major universities (e.g., Seoul National, Yonsei, Kyungpook National).

Korean Research Center (established 1956 with TAF support): Funded library resources, social-science research, publications (including the Korean Studies Series and Social Science Research journal), and scholars working on topics from divorce law to traditional music and agriculture. Became self-sustaining by 1961.

University planning, legal aid, and science support: Consultants helped modernize Seoul National University (1964โ€“1966); grants built the Foreign Service Institute (1962โ€“1963) and law libraries; rural adult-education libraries and science textbooks were rolled out regionally.

Economic Policy & Regional Cooperation (mid-1960sโ€“1980)

 

National Economic Planning Support: Provided advisors and grants to build policy research centers and capacity in multiple countriesโ€”e.g., tax policy in Taiwan, employment generation in Malaysia, economic planning in Thailand/Laos/Singapore/Indonesia, and advanced economist training in the Philippines and Korea.

post '81 six main areas

 

six core program areas (governance, economic growth, education/leadership, environment/climate resilience, womenโ€™s empowerment, and international cooperation)

 

Wonder why they needed covert funding initially? Maybe they could be then secret about some of what they were allegedly doing?
