How the Deep State Engineered Sheikh Hasina’s Ouster in Bangladesh?
Biden allocated $2.7 million for a transgender dance festival in Bangladesh. When this information leaked, a massive uproar took place in the U.S. at the beginning of 2023, but surprisingly, the media in Bangladesh remained silent about this event.
Former U.S. State Department official and current cybersecurity expert @MikeBenzCyber appeared on @TuckerCarlson podcast and revealed the Biden administration, USAID, NED, Deep State, and their actions to overthrow the Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh. This podcast is very significant because Tucker Carlson is probably the most influential journalist in the world right now and is very close to Trump. Even, the American media tries to understand what moves the Trump administration will make by analyzing Tucker Carlson’s moves. Currently, Bangladesh is a trending topic across the U.S. politics. Due to @elonmusk retweet on Mike Benz’s tweet regarding Bangladesh: nitter.gq/elonmusk/status/188703… .
During this podcast of Tucker Carlson, Bangladesh received the most attention.
nitter.gq/TuckerCarlson/status/1…
Summary of the discussion from the podcast:
"Sheikh Hasina did not allow the U.S. to build a military base in Bangladesh, prioritizing the country’s security. The U.S. wanted to set up a military base in Bangladesh to counter China, but it could not convince Sheikh Hasina under any circumstances. Mark Benz quoted directly from a Deep State document that stated ‘Politically Destabilize Bangladesh.’ After Sheikh Hasina’s victory in the 2018 elections, the Biden administration and the Deep State became even more furious.
To remove Sheikh Hasina’s government, they started influencing the country's media, cultural activists, indigenous people, LGBTQ groups, and even student movement leaders. They formed a separate team with 77 activists from the Bihari and LGBTQ communities, along with 326 citizens, and carried out operations for several years. The advisor Nahid made a statement about creating an inclusive society only to please his deepstate superiors. In the recent incident where Dhanmondi 32 was burned and destroyed, the Biharis were at the forefront. From the beginning of August, most artists in the country changed their Facebook profile pictures to red background, probably as a signal from the Deep State for Sheikh Hasina’s downfall.
USAID funds many bands, among which Kureghor is a notable one. Everyone knows about Tashrif Khan, who received money from USAID. Artists like Badhan, Fuad, and Masha Elita Karim, among others, have sung for USAID projects. During the movement, USAID suddenly promoted rap music in Bangladesh to incite riots.
According to Benz, the Deep State created a song and made it popular among the masses to provoke public anger. Benz cited State Department documents stating that students were involved in the protests only when BNP repeatedly failed politically, since Awami League was still popular in the country. When a few students died in the protests, some rap songs suddenly went viral. Meanwhile, on July 14, @matthewamiller spread false rumors in a State Department press conference that three protesters had died, even though no one had died at that time. Matthew Miller’s statement: youtube.com/watch?v=nx8QNRuo…
Benz further stated:
‘These actions caused people to question their faith in a popular government and led them to the streets. The U.S. attempted a similar coup in Cuba in 2009 using drugs, prostitutes, and cultural activists. The Deep State, USAID, and the U.S. fought hard for BNP in two elections. An IRI report to the State Department mentions that since 2018, the U.S. has supported BNP and tried to bring them to power in various ways, but BNP failed to mobilize the people. The Deep State invested in 170 pro-democracy activists in Bangladesh and placed 304 informants in various key locations to collect sensitive information.’
For a transgender dance festival alone, USAID provided $2.7 million. This funding created widespread controversy in the U.S. Between October and December 2020, IRI organized three separate dance festivals in Bangladesh.

Benz also revealed surprising information about disinformation in Bangladesh. USAID formally trained Muhammad Yunus’s current foreign advisor, MD Touhid Hossain, in the U.S. in 2021 on countering disinformation. The training focused on how to suppress information that the U.S. State Department disapproves of and how to control the flow of information.More details: nitter.gq/MikeBenzCyber/status/1… and thefinancialexpress.com.bd/h… .Currently, Touhid Hossain is not speaking out against mob justice; instead, the government is actively preventing any related media reports from being published.
The reason why there was no discussion in Bangladesh about the $2.7 million funding for transgender groups is that this money was diverted elsewhere. The Deep State’s control over Facebook has already been described in a previous tweet nitter.gq/Redowanshakil/status/1….
Additionally, throughout the podcast, Benz exposed various crimes committed by the Deep State.
Further Details:thegrayzone.com/2025/02/07/r…
Benz spoke about Bangladesh for ten straight minutes from 24:30 onwards in the podcast. He brought up Bangladesh again at 40 minutes, 55 minutes, and 2 hours 5 minutes 30 seconds, making a total of four mentions. This clearly shows how important the Bangladesh issue has become in American politics.

This podcast is linked to several relevant pieces of information:
Under pressure from the Biden administration, Bangladesh included a third gender option in its census. The Deep State considered this a major success.
nypost.com/2025/02/05/opinio…
Additionally, @Grameenphone in Bangladesh works on various projects in collaboration with the Deep State and USAID. Among universities, @BRACworld is another major agent of these institution. In 2020, @BRAC University received a $1 billion grant from NED and the Open Secret Wing of the State Department’s Soros @georgesoros Foundation, with conditions promoting open society, freedom of expression, and diversity, specifically supporting LGBTQ and transgender communities in Bangladesh. Link: tbsnews.net/.../brac-uni-be-…... The State Department and NED also run two media projects in Bangladesh @NetraNews and @Bangla_Outlook , which I mentioned in my previous X post: nitter.gq/Redowanshakil/status/1…...
There are also two Facebook fact-checking platforms in Bangladesh that have ties to USAID and NED. I will write a separate post about their scam. These platforms also played a role in the fall of Sheikh Hasina.
IRI has made significant investments in Bangladesh. After Sheikh Hasina’s fall, on November 14, IRI hurriedly provided (7.5 million USD)900 crore taka in grants to 18 NGOs, likely due to Trump’s election victory the following week. This project was named the Bangladesh-America Friendship Project. thefinancialexpress.com.bd/.…...
Before the riots started in July last year, the Social Business Day event was held on June 27-28 in Manila, Philippines, organized by the @Yunus_Centre . Attendees included Muhammad Yunus, Asif Nazrul, Shahidul Alam, Lamia Morshed, Farida Akhter, and North South University’s current Vice-Chancellor Abdul Hannan Khan. This conference took place just a week before the riots began. socialbusinesspedia.com/even…
Did the key figures of the Yunus network really travel to Manila just for a business event? It’s worth noting that this festival was hosted by @NWTF_official , an NGO in the Philippines that is USAID’s main partner there. The Yunus Centre and NWTF jointly organized Social Business Day, and NWTF has received USAID funding at various times. visayandailystar.com/fisherf…
It seems that the Under the guidance of devil democrats American Deep State had carefully planned every aspect of Sheikh Hasina’s removal in a coordinated manner.
How NED and USAID Destroyed Bangladesh Through Propaganda Media Funding!
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has played a major role in propagating the deep-state-sponsored political discourse in Bangladesh by funding media platforms that propagated a one-sided narrative. One such platform, @NetraNews, had been publishing consistently negative reports about the former @albd1971 government while ignoring Bangladesh's unbelievable progress.
Although NED claims to operate with a “steadfast commitment to supporting freedom around the world, guided by a nonpartisan approach,” its funding of Netra News raises concerns about bias from the beginning. The news outlet itself states on its website:
"We are supported by a grant from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a private, non-profit foundation that receives a yearly allocation from the United States Congress but remains independent of the United States government."
For More: netra.news/about/
This affiliation has led to accusations that Netra News functions as a propaganda tool rather than an objective media platform. Instead of offering balanced journalism, this platform selectively highlights negative stories to promote a particular political narrative favoring the deep-state agenda.
Another media platform, @Bangla_Outlook, is also directly funded by deep-state sources. While direct links to USAID or NED are not explicitly disclosed, its Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Saimum Parvez, has professional ties to organizations known for his involvement with USAID. Dr. Parvez has led multiple research projects on violent extremist (VE) propaganda, misinformation, and narratives and has worked as a consultant for USAID, the World Bank, IRI, and UNDP-funded projects.

It is evident that these connections indicate a larger pattern of USAID=NED-backed media influence in Bangladesh, with the potential aim of destabilizing the political system.
Yesterday @elonmusk has criticized NED in a tweet, stating:"NED is a SCAM." Finally,President @realDonaldTrump agreed to shut down $40 billion in U.S. foreign aid to USAID.
Under the direct supervision of the deep state, these propaganda media platforms played a major role in the destabilization of Bangladesh during July and August 2024.In light of these concerns, we want an investigation into the operations and funding sources of platforms like Netra News and Bangla Outlook to ensure that Bangladesh’s media landscape remains free from external manipulation.
We do not want any external interference in our politics.
@realDonaldTrump @elonmusk , please Shut down these propaganda machines soon!

According to data from the Human Rights Culture Foundation, 537 incidents of mob violence occurred in Bangladesh between January 1 and October 17 this year, resulting in 256 deaths and 575 injuries, compared to 428 incidents in 2025 and 169 in 2024.
#Bangladesh’s Persistent #Mob #Violence: What the Data Shows.
According to data from the Human Rights Culture Foundation, 537 incidents of mob violence occurred in Bangladesh between January 1 and October 17 this year, resulting in 256 deaths and 575 injuries, compared to 428 incidents in 2025 and 169 in 2024.
Data from Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK), another human rights organisation, indicates that 171 people were killed in mob violence from January 1 to September 30 this year; the figures for 2024 and 2025 were 128 and 198, respectively.
While methodologies for data collection and calculation may vary across different organizations, the data points to a similar scenario — mob violence has become a grave public security crisis for Bangladesh.
And it is not stopping.

Waiting for spring is good, congratulating Bangladeshi student protesters for showing the way is good, too.
And this is the way a Bangladesh Communist Party student leader is arrested today for chanting “Joy Bangla,” the very slogan of the 1971 Liberation War.
Fake communist.

Two Bangladeshi citizens, Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti (Sweety) Akhtar, were executed in Saudi Arabia on 14 October 2026. Their own government learned of it only after it was over. Yesterday, 26 October, members of the British Bangladeshi diaspora gathered outside the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in London to protest the executions. They submitted a formal memorandum to the Embassy seeking disclosure, accountability, and justice.
The memorandum puts it plainly:
"More than three million Bangladeshis live and work in Saudi Arabia. They build your cities, staff your homes and hospitals, and serve the millions of pilgrims from around the world who come to your holy places each year. They deserve dignity and gratitude, not to be treated as disposable people whose lives can be ended so casually and arbitrarily .
. . .
These executions raise more than questions of diplomatic obligation and human rights law. They are a test of the ideals of justice and mercy that the Kingdom, as Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, is supposed to uphold before the Muslim world."
The memorandum calls on the Government of Saudi Arabia to:
1. Make public the charges against Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti (Sweety) Akhtar and the nature of their legal defence. Disclose the trial record, the judgment, the appeal decision and the Royal Order confirming the sentences.
2. Publish all communication with the Embassy of Bangladesh in Riyadh and its Consulate General in Jeddah, from arrest to execution. State whether, when and how each detainee was informed of the right to consular access.
3. Commission an independent review of the arrest, investigation, prosecution, verdict and sentencing, and of the consular handling of the case, and publish its report. Hold to account any officials who failed in their duties at any stage.
4. Audit, and make public, all cases of Bangladeshi nationals currently detained, on trial or under sentence in Saudi Arabia, including those facing the death penalty.
5. Set out publicly the protection and support available to migrant workers in Saudi Arabia, including legal aid, interpretation, complaint mechanisms, consular access and compensation.
6. Disclose all complaints of abuse of Bangladeshi migrant workers received by the Saudi authorities over the past ten years, and how each was handled and resolved.
The Saudi authorities have been given 30 days to respond in writing.
The memorandum closes:
"We make these demands with respect for the [Saudi] Kingdom, its people and the sanctity of its holy places. That respect must be matched by respect for the sanctity of life, and for justice that is seen to be done."
The protest does not end at the Embassy door.
Copies of the memorandum, with letters setting out the concerns, have also been sent to:
-- The High Commission of Bangladesh in London, asking the Government of Bangladesh to act for its citizens
-- The UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions
-- The UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants
-- The UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers
-- The UN Working Group on discrimination against women and girls
-- The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office's Minister for the Middle East and North Africa
Each letter asks for disclosure of the case record, the return of the remains to the families, and protection for the many Bangladeshis still detained or on trial in the Gulf. The letters also urge the Government of Bangladesh to take up its own duty of vigilance over the citizens whose labour and remittances sustain the country.
As a member of the Bangladeshi diaspora in the UK, I stand in solidarity with everyone who came out yesterday to protest. @OxfordMatrix is currently providing technical support to the diaspora members on this issue, and will continue to do so as responses come in.

Where were today's vocal moralists when mobs illegally beat people to death and oppressed the innocent? No one spoke of law or justice then. Yet now, after a proven guilty cleric receives a single slap, everyone is suddenly outraged! Well said.

During Sheikh Hasina's time, Hindus celebrating Puja like this was a normal scene. As a result, no one used to talk about this kind of celebration much.
But in 2026, the situation is so dire that Hindu people celebrating Puja has become news.
