A former Army Ranger and Occupy
Oakland protester was in intensive care today after a veterans group
said he was beaten by police in brutal clashes with demonstrators.
The
veteran, identified as Kayvan Sabeghi, was the second former U.S.
serviceman during the past two weeks to be badly hurt in confrontations
between anti-Wall Street protesters and police in Oakland.
The
group Iraq Veterans Against the War said Sabeghi was detained during
disturbances that erupted late Wednesday in downtown Oakland and was
charged with resisting arrest and remaining present at a riot.
Brutal: Kayvan Sabeghi told friends he was
arrested and beaten by a group of policemen as he was leaving the
Oakland protest to go home
Highland General Hospital confirmed that Sabeghi was a patient in the intensive care unit there.
CHILD SERVICES SEIZES BABY AT OCCUPY DALLAS
Texas child welfare officials say have taken a 9-month-old boy from his homeless parents at an Occupy Dallas camp.
Child
Protective Services spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales says the baby was
taken into state custody Thursday and his parents were being
interviewed.
She declined to give more details until a judge signs off on the case.
Cordell
Cameron, a spokesman for the protest group, says the homeless parents,
who had joined demonstrators about a week ago, were 'pretty devastated.'
He
said they were in the process of trying to obtain housing through a
family program but feared they would no longer be eligible.
Cameron says the child was in a heated tent, 'there was no abuse' but 'obviously you can't keep a baby out in freezing weather.'

Brian Kelly, who co-owns a brew pub with Sabeghi, said his business partner served as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He said Sabeghi told him he was arrested and beaten by a group of policemen as he was leaving the protest to go home.
'He told me he was in the hospital with a lacerated spleen and that the cops had jumped him,' Kelly said.
'They put him in jail, and he told them he was injured, and they denied him medical treatment for about 18 hours.'
MEANWHILE.... Marxists exploit Americans rage to advance their agenda. Because there's so much anger(that they helped create)they can move faster.
It's up to Americans to spin this revolution out of their hands-into a true Second American Revolution.

The Covert Agenda Behind the Occupy Wall Street Protests
By Robert F. Beaudine
STATESMAN SENTINEL
October 26, 2011
The “occupying” protests here in America have been characterized as
spontaneous and leaderless. Protesters, politicians, and the mass media
have compared it to the so-called spontaneous uprisings of the Arab
Spring. In reality, neither has been spontaneous nor leaderless. The
Arab Spring was planned years ago and then executed by the forces of
oppression that the people thought they were attempting to overthrow.
In an AFP article last April, Michael Posner, Assistant Secretary of
State, admitted that the US trained 5000 activists last February from
Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, and Lebanon. The goal was to provide the
technology to circumvent government obstruction and help activists
create a ripple effect by training their colleagues in the arts of
government destabilization. Posner said our Federal government budgeted
$50 million to develop new technologies to protect activists from arrest
by authoritarian governments.
This assistance did not create the Arab Spring, but it helped
perpetuate it. The campaign to destabilize the Middle East began much
earlier, as geopolitical analyst Tony Cartalucci has repeatedly
demonstrated.
Last May, Cartalucci wrote an article
America’s Arab Deception.
He stated, “The Arab Spring was entirely engineered, prepared for,
activists trained, funded, and equipped by the United States, years in
advance, based on successes and experience garnered from decades of
extraterritorial meddling. In particular, a coalition between the US
State Department, NGO’s, corporations, and organizations entirely
contrived for the sole purpose of fomenting unrest in foreign nations,
began as early as 2008 preparing for what is now unfolding in the Middle
East and North Africa.”
Much of this can be corroborated in Ron Nixon’s April 14
th
New York Times article, “US Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings.”
Nixon spinned past Cartalucci’s logical assessment when he wrote, “No
one doubts that the Arab uprisings are home grown, rather than resulting
from ‘foreign influence,’ as alleged by some Middle Eastern leaders.”
Good writers
always avoid categorical statements, but
Nixon’s statement is also illogical. He claimed there were no doubters,
which he refuted when he mentioned the allegations of Middle Eastern
leaders. And no one doubts the New York Times is intolerant of logic.
To reinforce his position, Nixon quoted Stephen McInerney, executive
director of the Project on Middle East Democracy (POMED), “We didn’t
fund them to start protests, but we did help support their development
of skills and networking. That training did play a role in what
ultimately happened, but it was their revolution. We didn’t start it.”
On April 15
th, Cartalucci wrote in LandDestroyer, “Also
conceding involvement is the Project on Middle East Democracy (POMED),
chaired by various Council on Foreign Relations and Brookings Institute
alumni. POMED claims that they helped protestors develop skills and to
network. Such training has taken place annually under Movements.org
starting in 2008 where Egypt’s April 6 movement among many others,
learned techniques to subvert their government. Movements.org of course
is sponsored by a conglomerate of corporations and government agencies
including the US State Department, Google, MTV, the Edelman public
relations firm, Facebook, CBS News, MSNBC, and others. Despite the claim
that such meddling is ‘promoting democracy,’ looking at the sponsors
and war mongering interests involved in this operation, it appears to be
more about promoting global military and economic hegemony.”
Despite his extreme message, Cartalucci’s analysis is supported by facts.
Big Brother’s Clenched Fist Leads the Clueless
In America, our protests appear leaderless, ill-defined, and
uncoordinated. To mask the central planning, the protests began small in
a few cities before the national rollout proceeded, a common tactic of
most marketing schemes. These protests are not leaderless. And their
well-defined agenda can be derived from those manipulating the
leaderless mobs behind the scenes.
Last July, Adbusters Media Foundation announced they were organizing a
street protest to occupy Wall Street. Founded in 1989 by Kalle Lasn and
Bill Schmalz, this Canadian firm describes itself as “a global network
of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators, and
entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of
the information age.” They are anti- Capitalism, anti-consumerism,
pro-environment, and pro-violence.
Adbusters is financed through its magazine subscriptions, but it also
received grants the last ten years totaling $185,000 from the Tides
Foundation, which is partly financed by the mastermind of financial
destabilization, George Soros. Soros announced his sympathy for the
protestors and has committed his organizational and financial resources.
Soros’ MoveOn.org has organized liberal protest movements in the past
and urged its members to join the “occupying” protests. MoveOn.org has
also promoted an Internet-based demonstration in conjunction with
Rebuild the Dream, another radical group financed by Soros and led by
Van Jones. Van Jones was President Obama’s former Green Jobs Czar, who
resigned when his past extremism was exposed.
In an e-mail to its supporters, MoveOn predicted, “Together, we’ll
add hundreds of thousands of voices of solidarity from the American
Dream Movement for the protests across the country and show just how
widespread outrage at the Wall Street banks really is.”
Van Jones is a central planner using his front group Rebuild the
Dream among others. In a speech to the Soros funded Center for American
Progress, he compared our protests to the Arab Spring. “They had the
Arab spring, which was a people-powered, non-violent opportunity to
change the conversation in those countries. We should have an American
Autumn, people-powered, non-violent.”
David DeGraw of AmpedStatus is another central player who spent the
last three years trying to organize protests in America against the
international bankers. As his website was attacked and knocked offline,
the loosely led hacker group, Anonymous, approached him covertly and
helped salvage his work and website. DeGraw organized a protest to begin
against Wall Street on Flag Day, June 14
th. Anonymous also announced “Operation Empire State Rebellion” to begin June 14
th. When that fizzled, DeGraw teamed with Adbusters to coordinate the September attack.
DeGraw has a comprehensive world view. His claim that the global
rebellions are decentralized and leaderless is a liberal lie. He expects
these revolts to eventually destroy the power of the global elite, but
this Utopian posture is a common ploy.
In August, Anonymous announced they were joining the September
protests. Anonymous destabilizes government agencies, corporations, and
affiliated associations by hacking into their computer networks. They
revile the central bankers and have demanded Bernanke’s resignation.
They’ve also encouraged the Wall Street protesters and declared victory
in a video message with a “checkmate.”
Anonymous was also involved in the Arab Spring. During the height of
the protests, they waged cyber-attacks on Egyptian government websites.
In August, they did the same to Syria’s Ministry of Defense.
Julian Assange of WikiLeaks has been discredited by astute observers
as a pawn of the globalists he seemingly exposes. On October 15
th,
Assange addressed an adoring crowd of protesters in London. As he
champions greater transparency through leaked documents, regimes have
crumbled. Last May, Amnesty International praised WikiLeaks and the
newspapers that published their released confidential files as a
catalyst behind the Arab Spring.
Tony Cartalluci has described the central planning of Movements.org
behind the Arab Spring. These consultants of revolution have
recently developed a series of educational resources for the protesters. On October 7
th, Rachel
Silver
posted on their website, “In response to the widespread protests and
demonstrations happening across the USA we’ve compiled a series of
guides that will help organizers to sustain their movement nationally
and locally and make the most of online and digital tools.” These how-to
guides for activists and organizers were allegedly developed “in
response” to the protests, not prior, but sometimes the truth is
inconvenient.
For years, both ACORN and Service Employees International Union
(SEIU) have organized campaigns against Capitalism. On a video last
March, Steve Lerner of SEIU spoke of a scheme to destroy the stock
market, destabilize our nation, and redistribute its wealth. About the
same time, ACORN’s founder Wade Rathke also called for massive “Day of
Rage” protests that would target bankers. Both men are allied and close
to President Obama.
ACORN filed for bankruptcy after it was exposed for a variety of
criminal activities, but over the years, it has spawned front groups
across our nation, most notably the Working Families Party, which helped
organize “Occupy Wall Street.” WFP’s Nelini Stamp has been a regular at
the site since day one.
Anthropologist David Graeber leads the global justice movement and
promotes direct democracy to replace representative democracy. He’s
provided the intellectual groundwork that justifies these protests,
their embrace of direct democracy, and consensus building through group
manipulation.
Garret LoPorto adds a valuable skill to the central planning. LoPorto
learned his craft as a media consultant for Skull and Bones member,
John Kerry, when Kerry ran for President. He helped organize “Occupy
Boston.”
The radical street organizer Lisa Fithian has been involved since the
beginning of the protests. For decades she has fought alongside
anti-war advocates, anti-globalists, labor unions, and anarchists. She’s
been a regular at “Occupy Chicago” Her specialty is the creation of a
crisis, because as she explained, “Crisis is that edge where change is
possible.”
Legendary Socialist professor, Frances Fox Piven, is another central
planner who has fought Capitalism all her life. Last January in an
interview with Amy Goodman, she said, “I think it’s also crazy to call
me a commie, a socialist, a revolutionary or whatever.” As an academic,
she’s been taught that the truth is relative. In 2003, Piven was elected
Honorary Chair of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Countless labor unions and leftwing community groups have swelled the
ranks. Other leftwing organizations supporting the protests include the
Socialist Party USA, Planned Parenthood, Democracy For America,
Campaign for America’s Future, People for the American Way, Public
Campaign, Code Pink, Common Cause, Action United, Organize Now, and on
and on.
In a development similar to the 1950’s, when Congressional
investigations exposed the interlocking network of hundreds of Communist
front groups with the nonprofit foundations, which was quickly covered
up, many of these organizations are interlocked, working together, and
financed by the powerful nonprofit foundations.
The protests appear to be the culmination of much prior work
nationally and globally, perhaps decades of work. The leaders comprise a
Who’s Who of anti-American radicals. There is nothing spontaneous or
leaderless about these protests.
Days of Rage
The protests are parroted as nonviolent, but every now and then,
undercurrents arise that gush with revolution and its necessary
violence. This is more consistent with its initial theme as “Days of
Rage,” which is reminiscent of the violent Days of Rage riots
orchestrated by the Weather Underground in Chicago in 1969.
Frances Fox Piven doesn’t seem averse to the rhetoric of nonviolence,
because she sees its true intent, as a marketing ploy. In a recent
speech at Messiah College, she indicated her only problem with violence
is the negative publicity that would result. She also said, “Riots are
what poor people do when they get together.”
In a January article in The Nation,
Mobilizing the Jobless,
Piven wrote “Local protests have to accumulate and spread — and become
more disruptive — to create serious pressures on national politicians.
An effective movement of the unemployed will have to look something like
the strikes and riots that have spread across Greece in response to the
austerity measures forced on the Greek government by the European
Union, or like the student protests that recently spread with lightning
speed across England in response to the prospect of greatly increased
school fees.”
Due to public outrage at her position, The Nation defended her in a
February editorial. They also added, “Recognizing the leverage that
oppressed groups have – and working with them to use it – is her special
genius.” This special genius is the hallmark of all good
revolutionaries, who then exploit the powerless for their own aims.
On October 2
nd after Piven addressed the OWS crowd, she concluded, “This is going to be the fight of our lives.”
In his book
Culture Jam, Kalle Lasn predicted, “We will wreck this world.” He’s also said, “Rage drives revolutions.”
Van Jones no longer wants reforms or incremental changes. “We’re not
going to put a new battery in a broken system. We want a new system.”
In interviews, Lisa Fithian promotes peaceful protests, but she’s
also stated, “I have no issue with property destruction.” She helped
instigate the violent Seattle riots in 1999 when the WTO was in town.
For years, these anti-American activists have sown seeds among our
youth awaiting the harvest. They are the catalysts, and they expect an
inferno.
Manipulating the Masses
By design, the protesters have been unclear about their central demands and agenda. On Oct 5
th,
Garret LoPorto was interviewed by radio host Michael Graham. He said,
“It’s a process of reclaiming democracy. We all know there’s something
wrong with the system. How are we going to fix it? How can we make it
better?” He offered no solutions – specific goals will come later.
On Aug 12
th, Adbusters posted an update prior to the
protests that explains their approach. “Strategically speaking, there is
a very real danger that if we naively put our cards on the table and
rally around the ‘overthrow of capitalism’ or some equally outworn
utopian slogan, then our Tahrir moment will quickly fizzle into another
inconsequential ultra-lefty spectacle soon forgotten.”
Adbusters prefers stealth at the beginning. A consensus can be
engineered at any time using the Delphi technique, which relies on mass
psychology to manipulate the group toward a predetermined consensus. It
uses Hegel’s dialectic to reconcile opposing forces and create a new
synthesis. The successful “change agent” or facilitator must be an
astute observer of human behavior and trained in psychology. This
process has been mastered by the Progressives, who used it across our
nation to transform our schools into rubbish.
The Delphi technique is a sophisticated process, but on its simplest
level, the facilitator uses peer pressure and other group dynamics to
isolate or marginalize dissenting voices, while rallying those
sympathetic to the “correct” position. The group is not only led to the
preconceived consensus, but they are also led to believe they arrived at
it independently. This process has been fine-tuned over the decades
“awaiting the time when it would be implemented extensively in the
interests of transforming America.” (This quote was posted anonymously
last July.)
To prevent any political or moneyed interest from hijacking the
movement, the protesters convene a General Assembly every day in every
city, so that everyone has a voice – although, not everyone is granted
that right as Congressman John Lewis found out. The group engages in
direct democracy which leads to a consensus on a variety of topics from
when and where to march to trash pick-up. Hand signals either arouse the
group’s favor or incite disapproval. Consensus is engineered daily,
while the crowd is indoctrinated in direct democracy.
Perhaps more sinister, as Dr. Webster Tarpley reported weeks ago, the
general assembly may be a simple diversion. Tarpley said eyewitnesses
have identified about twenty mysterious individuals who seem to comprise
a secret steering committee that supersedes the General Assembly.
They’re much older than the average protester and appear to have a
military orientation. Recently, thousands of leaked e-mails have
confirmed the existence of two secret committees, a Demands Committee
and a
Constitution
Committee. These leaders prefer to remain behind the scenes. When their
work is done, they will present it to the General Assembly for
approval.
For decades, psychology has been mined for better methods to
manipulate the masses. Today, the methods are more sophisticated, more
brazen, and more effective. The protest organizers are manufacturing
dissent within society, while creating consensus within the movement.
Garret LoPorto is a depth psychologist who understands how to
manipulate unconscious urges. To promote his marketing firm
TotalConvert, LoPorto wrote, “If you want people to believe in your
brand, (and share that belief with others), your brand must be evolved
into a cult brand. If you want buzz; if you want viral marketing; if you
want sky-high conversion rates and you want customers to not just be
customers, but total converts, then you’ve come to the right consulting
firm.”
Creating a cult brand is his specialty. To accomplish this, he uses
psychographics marketing, which divides people into groups based on
their psychological profile. Psychographics relies on surveys,
interviews, and focus groups, but now marketers also mine the social
networks for psychological data. Using the Internet and its social
networks, psychographics enables viral marketing.
LoPorto is a rarity. He’s also creating a cult following called the
Wayseers. The Wayseers Manifesto is a slick video production that
reveals LoPorto’s understanding of human behavior. Many viewers were
reduced to tears, as if their eyes were suddenly opened and they found
their long lost home. It is powerful propaganda that uses trance music,
which shifts consciousness from a beta state to an alpha state. This
renders the viewer more susceptible to its message. It begins:
“Attention: All you rule-breakers, you misfits and troublemakers –
all you free spirits and pioneers – all you visionaries and
non-conformists … Everything that the establishment has told you is
wrong with you – is actually what’s right with you. You see things
others don’t. You are hardwired to change the world. Unlike nine out of
ten people – your mind is irrepressible – and this threatens authority.
You were born to be a revolutionary. You can’t stand rules because in
your heart you know there’s a better way. You have strengths dangerous
to the establishment – and it wants them eliminated, So your whole life
you’ve been told your strengths were weaknesses – Now I’m telling you
otherwise.”
The video is ten minutes of New Age mystical Gnosticism that promotes revolutionary thinking and action. It ends:
“Wayseers reveal this divine truth by devoting themselves to the
birth of some creative or disruptive act expressed through art or
philosophy, innovations to shake up industry, revolutions for democracy,
coups that topple hypocrisy, movements of solidarity, changes that
leave a legacy, rebellions against policy, spirit infused technology,
moments of clarity, things that challenge barbarity, watersheds of
sincerity, momentous drives for charity.” (LoPorto isn’t your ordinary
“high priest” – he’s also a poet.) “This is your calling, Wayseer.
You’ve found your tribe. Welcome home.”
LoPorto reassures the disenfranchised viewer that they are special,
needed, and welcome. They don’t need to follow rules that have been
rigged against them. They must destroy the rule-makers and revolt
against the established order. The video is a recruiting device to build
a network of mindless revolutionaries who will blindly follow their
self-proclaimed enlightened leader.
Soros is the most dangerous of the central planners because of his
wealth, organizational skills, and diabolical ambition, but LoPorto is
dangerous because of his creative genius.
New Agers Have the Answers
Pure Energy Systems News announced a new documentary that will be
released on 11/11/11: “An upcoming documentary named, ‘Thrive – What on
Earth will it take?’ will seek to explain the sources of human
suffering, expose the elite power structures (such as big oil) that have
contributed to it, and provide an answer including free energy,
explaining what it will take to improve the human condition on this
planet.”
Supposedly, an ancient code embedded by extraterrestrials in ancient
ruins, crop circles, and art has been suppressed by the global elite.
Unlocking its secret is the key to free energy which will save our
distressed planet from imminent destruction. The documentary has been
plugged by prominent New Agers who hope the Thrive Movement goes viral.
The PESN article also posed an ominous question: “Could this documentary be a trigger that sparks a revolution?”
Triggers
There are many triggers that might spark the fuse. A manufactured
crisis is the standard approach. An epic economic meltdown cannot be
avoided for long and would trigger widescale rioting.
Another trigger is foreshadowed by an Anonymous slogan. They issued a
conditional demand that was featured in LoPorto’s Manifesto, has its
own facebook page, and was displayed on posters during the Arab Spring.
“If your government shuts down the Internet, shut down your government.”
This crisis also seems inevitable.
The clamor for a Constitutional Convention is growing which could
also cause chaos because it would certainly be co-opted by a
predetermined consensus that would overthrow our Constitutional
liberties. This crisis must be avoided.
Villains
The protesters are supplied with enough villains to keep the blame
game running like an endless marathon: greedy bankers, crony
capitalists, corrupt politicians, and selfish rich people.
President Obama is sympathetic. He cannot run for re-election on his
record, so he’s been blaming everyone and everything else from the prior
administration to his opponents, natural disasters, the Arab Spring,
etc. But he’s recently focused on a common villain that the protesters
revile – the bankers and other rich people, especially those of the Wall
Street variety. His slogan “the rich must pay their fair share” gets
shriller as he stokes class warfare.
Charles Krauthammer warned in a recent column, “Popular resentment, easily stoked, is less easily controlled.”
Our President’s sympathy for the Wall Street protesters is
disingenuous but consistent with his administration’s widespread
deception and complicit lack of transparency. Wall Street enriched
Obama’s 2008 Presidential campaign and helped him get elected. Objective
observers include mainstream journalists on the list of villains
because only the alternative media mentions this.
This was illustrated a few weeks ago as Van Jones mixed with the Wall
Street protesters. Luke Rudowski of We Are Change questioned him on
camera about Wall Street’s generosity during Obama’s 2008 campaign. Van
Jones promptly fled the area.
If Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination, the villains of Wall
Street could derail his Presidential bid. Wall Street has reversed its
support of Democratic candidates and is backing Romney with a steady
flow of campaign dollars. More likely, this is another phony opposition
campaign to taint his campaign. The globalists who own Wall Street would
love to see President Obama re-elected.
The International Agenda
On October 15
th, the protest movement held events in over
900 cities in 82 countries. In America, hundreds of organizations are
engaged in the destruction of old fashioned American liberty based on
our Constitution. Across the globe, there are thousands of groups
rallying for regime changes in the form of democratic socialism.
Common themes include a false spontaneity in the face of manufactured
dissent. The clenched fist is the universal symbol, a staple of
socialist and communist groups worldwide. The protests are youth-led,
who bring high energy, have no negative political baggage, and are more
pliable than their elders. They are also more indoctrinated, as the
techniques of propaganda have evolved in step with technology. Their
primary needs are organizational skills, positive media exposure, and
money, needs easily exploited.
The US State Department and the US Agency for International
Development (USAID) both have mandates to promote democracy
internationally. Direct involvement in the internal affairs of other
countries can compromise their support, so they contract with
non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) like the National Endowment for
Democracy (NED), International Republican Institute, National
Democractic Institute, Asia Foundation, Center for the Study of Islam
and Democracy, Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), the Democracy
Council, and previously mentioned POMED, among many others.
Sometimes financing is misdirected through front groups. WikiLeaks
released diplomatic cables from Damascus that showed one channel to
finance Syrian opposition groups. Our State Department granted $6.3
million to the Democracy Council who then financed MEPI who financed
Syrian exiles.
In Egypt and Tunisia, as the US government publicly supported the
puppet regime, it also privately financed the opposition. Dictators can
become inconvenient for a variety of reasons including massive public
unrest, which sometimes is manufactured for other reasons. To control
the outcome, the US must co-opt the dissent. This explains our
President’s behavior during the Egyptian revolt. Initially, out of
instinct, he supported our old ally Mubarak, but he finally caught on.
The Egyptian uprising provides a case study of how revolutions are
US-engineered. The conventional mainstream media myth portrayed the
revolutionaries as spontaneous freedom fighters. To retain their
prestige, mainstream journalists do not investigate or expose the lies
in the State Department handouts they parrot, but the alternative media
does. Tony Cartalucci exposed the myriad groups that were involved long
before the moment became ripe.
Cartalucci also showed how Movements.org, a subsidiary of the
Alliance for Youth Movements, sponsored by Google and staffed by former
executives, helped the young Egyptians develop the technological skills
for communication and social networking. But the real revolution
required bodies in the streets not digitalized avatars or Facebook
friends. In 2009, Egyptian activist Mohamed Adel went to Belgrade,
Serbia for guidance, home of the Center for Applied NonViolent Action
and Strategies (CANVAS), which was spawned by OPTOR, the resistance
group that ousted Slobodan Milosevic.
CANVAS provided the necessary training. According to Tina Rosenberg’s February article in Foreign Policy
Revolution U,
“They have worked with democracy advocates from more than 50 countries.
They have advised groups of young people on how to take on some of the
worst governments in the world – and in Georgia, Ukraine, Syria-occupied
Lebanon, the Maldives, and now Egypt, those young people won.”
Perhaps winning is a relative term like the truth. Eight months after
her article appeared, it doesn’t look like the Egyptian people have won
anything except a sorry economy.
Another media myth has portrayed young Serbian Ivan Marovic as the
heroic visionary who helped topple Milosevic using a brilliant grass
roots strategy. He was instrumental, but NATO bombs also helped. Not
reported was that Marovic’s vision and strategy came from an American,
Harvard professor Gene Sharp. Hundreds of copies of his handbook
From Dictatorship to Democracy
were translated into the Serbian language and distributed by the Albert
Einstein Institute, which specializes in methods of non-violent
resistance.
An award winning documentary,
How to start a Revolution, was recently released last month and reveals Sharp’s global influence.
In addition to Sharp’s assistance, the OPTOR revolutionaries also
received CIA training and were partly financed by the US government
through Freedom House and NED. Despite OPTOR’s lies to the contrary,
this financing was confirmed after the Serbian coup, and many members
quit.
On September 22
nd, Marovic addressed the sympathetic OWS crowd in New York.
OPTOR and CANVAS adopted the clenched fist symbol over a decade ago,
so it was not surprising to see it prominently displayed in the streets
of Cairo during their uprising. It’s become the official logo of OWS and
all the global protests and revolutions. Perhaps this universal symbol
will unite us all in one-world government after the destabilization
campaigns accomplish their global destruction through economic ruin and
the resulting riots.
A Populist Revolution
The protests are portrayed as a populist movement by the 99% have-nots against the elite. In an Oct 7
th article, the
Activist Post wrote,
“The elite are specialists at divide-and-conquer techniques, but that
becomes exceedingly difficult when the melting pot of America truly
spills over.”
The elite are also experts at false-flag operations and phony
opposition campaigns that appear to undermine their interests, while it
consolidates their power. History illustrates the success of this
tactic. In 1913, a phony opposition campaign enabled the approval of the
Federal Reserve Act.
The
Activist Post called for its readers to “participate in
what looks like the genuine start of the Second American Revolution.” A
revolution against the controlling elite that thrusts off the tyranny of
their central banking, the indoctrination in their schools, the lies of
their media, and the brainwashing of their entertainment, would be a
welcome development. But a revolution that appears to free the oppressed
masses from the ultra-rich, while it is manipulated behind the scenes
by the globalist elite will only lead to more enslavement.
The Doom of Liberty
Kalle Lasn of Adbusters is correct when he says that
mega-corporations promote mass-consumerism through the brainwashing of
television commercials. He was correct when he called television viewing
“a major mental health problem.” Public opinion is now mass
manufactured, and behaviors are created to keep the public distracted
from the real issues in life. Television, movies, and computer games are
not only addictive forms of vicarious living, rather than real living,
but the audio-visual images are also powerful propaganda.
The protesters are correct when they condemn our mega-corporations,
because they practice a crony Capitalism that inhibits free enterprise
through government regulations, lobbyists who rig the rules, trade
associations, campaign donations, and the swinging door between business
and government. Crony Capitalism must be abolished.
The protestors are correct about the ills of Wall Street. Wall Street
enriches itself, but only as a facilitator for big business and the
Federal Reserve, which are the real culprits behind our economic woes
and injustices.
Our young college graduates are justifiably angry when they can’t
find a job or are forced to take a low paying job that will not pay down
the enormous debt they incurred to get a worthless degree. But their
anger is misdirected at the corporations that don’t want or need them.
They should blame the real villains – the universities who swindled them
with outrageous tuitions that had to be borrowed. In the past thirty
years, college tuition has risen over 400%, while the quality of
education has declined inversely.
Anger is becoming epidemic, but we will see the relationship between
the protesters and our President get cozier. We will see demands
clarified and leaders emboldened. We will probably see the harsh winter
disperse the crowds to warmer climes. But networks are being
established, and protesters are being indoctrinated.
The socialist cancer has invaded our vital organs: our government,
our public and higher education, our mass media, our arts and sciences.
Our language has changed, and our dialogue has been misdirected. The
cancer might go away for a moment, but it will return more virulent, and
it will eventually get violent.
As a nation, we waste our leisure time in pursuits of excitement,
idleness, or pleasure. In the old days, leisure time was a valuable
gift. Leisure and liberty were both hard earned by our great forebears,
which many have taken for granted. We are living on borrowed time, a
debt that must be repaid.
A time of reckoning is now upon us. It is time to turn off the
insidious TV, the dehumanizing music, a time to tune out the deceptive
media. It is time to replace our trivial pursuits with fasting, fervent
prayer, and the study of the Scriptures. It is time to turn to our Lord
