Documents provided by sources in the intelligence community to GreatGameInternational have uncovered a startling plan by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a controversial organization linked to the CIA, to influence Indonesia’s elections. The current President, Joko Widodo, who is very popular, can’t run for a third term. NED is now preparing to step in and shape the future of Indonesia after his departure, despite warnings from Jakarta’s intelligence agency that the U.S. should stay out of their affairs. Similar warnings were also echoed by the Indian intelligence to GGI. Indonesia is now the third country in South Asia after Pakistan and Bangladesh which were hit by Color Revolution. There are also calls for the United Nations to investigate the U.S. for such regime change operations.

What the Documents Reveal
The leaked documents offer a rare glimpse into NED’s behind-the-scenes activities. They show how NED operates in over 100 countries, giving out thousands of grants each year. In Indonesia, NED’s money has gone to various non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society groups, and most importantly, political parties and candidates. This broad approach ensures that NED’s influence will be felt across the political spectrum.
NED’s goal is to have U.S.-friendly candidates win the elections. They’ve even set up a plan to challenge or overturn election results if things don’t go their way. The leaked documents reveal that NED has been handing out money, effectively bribes, to Indonesians to organize protests against the government. A similar operation was executed to overthrow Maduro’s government, however Venezuelan intelligence crushed the plot and the perpetrators are now facing trial.
The Rise of Joko Widodo
Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, is a unique figure in Indonesian politics. He’s the first President not from the country’s traditional political or military elite. His journey from a poor background to becoming a popular leader has earned him a rockstar status among Indonesians. He’s known for his efforts to fight corruption, improve healthcare, and boost economic growth. Jokowi’s presidency has also seen an increase in the country’s stock market and currency value.
Despite his successes, Jokowi has often clashed with Western interests. He’s focused on protecting Indonesia’s sovereignty and has pursued an independent foreign policy, which has included efforts to mediate conflicts and support oppressed groups globally. His stance has made him a target for those who prefer a more compliant Indonesian leader.
NED’s Covert Operations
NED’s activities in Indonesia are being managed by its branches, like the International Republican Institute (IRI). The leaked briefings in possession of GGI show how IRI has been working to train and support emerging political leaders in Indonesia. These leaders are being groomed to run for office and challenge the election results if necessary.
The documents also detail how IRI has been involved in supporting protests against laws signed by Jokowi, which they believe might harm foreign investments and limit their options for influencing Indonesian politics. These protests, funded and organized with NED’s help, are part of a broader strategy to destabilize the current government.
Financial Maneuvers
The financial support from NED might seem modest compared to other countries where it operates, but it still has a significant impact. For instance, the money provided for organizing protests and supporting political candidates can be substantial in local terms. This kind of financial influence allows NED to shape political outcomes without directly taking control.
The Bigger Picture
The leaked documents suggest that NED’s tactics in Indonesia are part of a larger strategy to ensure that the U.S. has friendly governments in key regions. As tensions rise with countries like China, having supportive leaders in strategic areas like Indonesia becomes increasingly important. This secret agenda was exposed by heads of state of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Venezuela, Serbia, Bolivia, Slovakia and Georgia who revealed on the world stage how they were offered a mafia-style deal to give up sovereignty of their nation.
These revelations highlight how NED operates in the shadows to influence political outcomes around the world. The documents show a clear pattern of funding, training, and manipulating local actors to achieve U.S. objectives, raising serious questions about the integrity of democratic processes in countries like Indonesia.
