Claim: Viral video is leaked footage of former US President Barack Obama sharing tactics used in destabilising countries to the NGOs financed by his foundation.
Fact-check: Clipped speeches of Former President Obama are being falsely shared as a leaked video of him talking about tactics to destabilise foreign governments - FACTLY
Verdict: the original videos of both the clips in the viral video are available in the public domain. they are part of two different speeches delivered by president obama at two different venues. in the first one, he was talking about how social media is being used to spread disinformation and weaken democratic institutions. in the second speech, he was talking about the ideology that believes that people are too small-minded to govern themselves. short clips from both these speeches were edited to make it look like he was giving inflammatory speeches to the ngos financed by him. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
