Stranger Than Fiction – Because the news is unbelievable.
Why are they all revolting?
‘Colour revolutions’ was a term first used in the media to describe several related movements in former Soviet and Balkan states in the early 2000’s. Georgia’s revolution was Rose, Ukraine’s was Orange, among others. They were characterised by massive street protests surrounding elections, leading to the resignation or overthrow of leaders considered authoritarian. There was a spate of these across the region which was described as a revolutionary wave.
I don’t know about you, but as the uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East started to spread at the end of last year, it did seem a bit to order. Do the US backed Colour revolutions of the early noughties, sound a bit like what we’re seeing unfolding in the middle east? Well here’s Tony Cartalucci to explain:
‘First noted by geopolitical analyst and historian Dr. Webster Tarpley, some suspicious similarities could be seen between the Egyptian unrest and the known US-backed colour revolution in Serbia. Serbia’s Otpor, or the “resistance,” was funded to the tune of millions by the US National Endowment for Democracy. Its signature clenched fist logo adorned flags, signboards, and t-shirts carried by the US State Department supported ousting of Slobodan Miloševi? in 2000’.
Fast forward 11 years and hey, what do you know? The same logo turns up in Cairo! Coincidence? Not at all.
‘After its success, Serbia’s Otpor would continue receiving funds from the West and become a “CIA-coup college” of sorts, under the name CANVAS, or “Center for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategies.” It appears that after the Egyptian April 6 Youth Movement finished attending the US State Department funded conflab in New York City in 2008, it would make a trip to visit CANVAS in 2009. From there, it took CANVAS’s “curriculum” and apparently their logo, and began assembling a US-funded mob in Egypt.’
They haven’t even bothered to get a new logo! I suppose it worked before and hey, they still had the stencil. The old clenched fist. Very Citizen Smith isn’t it? Power to the People! Or is it more like, power over people.
Welcome to 21st century Revolutions. Get on the revolution band wagon. You can get the kit. There’s some training and serious funding available. The con of it is that witless protestors end up doing the bidding of their own sworn enemy. They’re sponsored by the very people they're railing against.
Foreign Affairs, a Council on Foreign Relations publication, was already heralding new Egyptian presidential candidate, Mohamed ElBaradei as a possible saviour of Egypt in a March 2010 article. They understood the dynamic:
"Further, Egypt’s close relationship with the United States has become a critical and negative factor in 
Egyptian politics. The opposition has used these ties to delegitimize the regime, while the government has engaged in its own displays of anti-Americanism to insulate itself from such charges. If ElBaradei actually has a reasonable chance of fostering political reform in Egypt, then U.S. policymakers would best serve his cause by not acting strongly. Somewhat paradoxically, ElBaradei’s chilly relationship with the United States as IAEA chief only advances U.S. interests now. "
I.e. Our man is thought to be anti-American, which helps, go easy.
Billionaire globalist player, George Soros and the Neo-con packed NED (National Endowment for Democracy) are all over Egypt. They fund the typically grandly titled, The Egyptian Organisation for Human Rights, who are calling for a complete re-write of the constitution of Egypt. The ‘revolution’ in Egypt was never about removing a dictator or reforming the country, it was about taking away a civilisation and replacing it with a global civil society model.
The whole wave of civil disobedience spreading across North Africa and the Middle East is far from spontaneous. We’ve seen it all before and we’ll see it again, no doubt, because things don't really change.
As Pete Townsend put it: ‘I tip my hat to the new constitution, take a bow for the new revolution, smile and grin at the change all around, pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday. And get down on my knees and pray - We won't get fooled again.
Here comes the old boss, same as the new boss.'
