This text is slightly modified from an interview that Andrew Korybko gave to a Moscow-based PhD student specializing in the “Arab Spring” regime change events.
The Role Of Social Media
Social media platforms were instrumental in organizing and deploying the regime change destabilizations that took place during the “Arab Spring” theater-wide Color Revolutions. They allowed the initiators of these events to more easily connect with tens of thousands of sympathizers and propagate their provocative messages to them in a bid to incite as many participating individuals as possible. Social media at that time was naively assumed by many of the masses, especially the comparatively uneducated and less technologically adept ones of the “Arab Street”, to be the “uncensored” and “genuine” “voice of the people”, ergo why so many people fell for the narratives (some of which were deliberately misleading or outright false) being spread by core organizers through these media. Had it not been for social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and even the technical application of Google Maps (which assists with planning ‘protest’ routes and urban guerrilla warfare), it’s doubtful that the so-called “Arab Spring” would have ever unfolded as it did, let alone at all perhaps.
The “Green Revolution”
What happened in Tunisia and Egypt in 2010-2011 was the beginning of what the US hoped would be a transregional Color Revolution campaign, and it’s directly connected to the so-called “Green Revolution” which the US encouraged in Iran in 2009. The whole point of that latter exercise was to gauge the responses of the Iranian government – the strongest and most security-conscious of the Mideast states – and to identify structural vulnerabilities which could be exploited in the comparatively weaker countries of the region. The US only half-heartedly supported the “Green Revolution” because it was always meant to be a probing exercise, not a full-fledged regime change attempt, but it also had the intended aftereffect of signaling to the Ayatollah and his military-security “conservatives” that the US could do much worse against them at a future date if they don’t agree to what turned out to be forthcoming secret negotiations about the country’s nuclear energy activity. It also impacted the psyche of Iranian youth by emboldening them to vote for the “moderate” Rouhani four years later, which ultimately facilitated the eventual nuclear deal in summer 2015.
Hybrid War
The successful regime change campaigns in North Africa are emblematic of what my definition of Hybrid War is, namely the interweaving of Color Revolution and Unconventional Warfare tactics for the purpose of overthrowing a targeted government. What began as ‘peaceful’ anti-government protests provoked by external social media management techniques and in-country collaborators quickly spiraled into urban terrorism, with the main difference between Tunisia and Egypt being that the Cairo authorities held out slightly longer before capitulating to the insurgents’ demands.
As would later be seen in the case of Syria, however, the government and the vast majority of the population united in their opposition to what they already knew was a foreign-concocted regime change plot against their civilization-state, which is why they resisted so fiercely and the Color Revolution instruments were ordered to transform into outright terrorist groups such as Al Nusra, Daesh, and other “moderate rebels”.
The whole point behind the “Arab Spring” Color Revolution wave in the first place was to replace the governments in North Africa and the Levant with the Muslim Brotherhood, thus creating a transregional ideologically identical ‘super state’ which could be controlled by proxy via Neo-Ottoman Erdogan (just as the Eastern Bloc was controlled by the USSR up until a generation ago), though the geopolitical reality tremendously changed throughout the course of this campaign and thus prevented this wide-ranging geostrategic plot from succeeding.
The Role Of Foreign Influence
Foreign influence was crucially important in sparking the “Arab Spring” regime change riots, especially in North Africa. The first thing to remember is that the US works best when it’s operating indirectly, in this case, through the social and structural preconditioning that it carried out on these two states and their peoples well in advance of their formal destabilizations. Using a combination of macroeconomic instruments and ‘NGOs’, the US was able to both damage the Tunisian and Egyptian economies and consequently use various incitements to provoke the already agitated masses into coming out to the streets and overthrowing the government. It can safely be assumed that the US had at least several teams of in-country experts guiding the events, but for the most part, these operatives would not have had much success had it not been for the prior conditions that the US manipulated in shaping the dismal state of these country’s economies and fomenting widespread anti-government sympathies. Under such circumstances, all that it took was a highly publicized spark and carefully crafted Mainstream Media hysteria to set the ‘NGO’-social media apparatus into motion and craft a self-sustaining auto-synchronous destabilization which required minimal direct interference to execute its desired objective.
Foreign-Funded “Civil Society” NGOs
Foreign-funded ‘NGOs’ were used as some of the most powerful tools to destabilize Tunisia and Egypt in the run-up to, and during, the “Arab Spring” regime changes. George Soros and the scores of organizations that he directly and indirectly sponsors engage in ‘investigative’ and ‘activist’ activity which seeks to uncover corrupt relationships between public officials, the financial sector, and others. In and of itself, there’s nothing wrong with legitimately indigenous civil-society groups engaging in political and electoral criticisms, provided of course that they’re grounded in facts and not deliberately disruptive provocations, and it should of course be celebrated anytime that a corrupt individual is exposed for their illegal and unethical behavior. However, the relationships that the said civil society organizations have cultivated, as well as their and their patrons’/partners’ intent, must also be taken into consideration.
There’s a big difference between patriotic individuals carrying out the abovementioned activities for the intended betterment of their societies and internal collaborators conspiring with external (often intelligence-linked) organizers in plotting to sow unrest and topple the government. Sometimes it turns out that the latter category of “activists” are just “useful idiots” who have been duped by their naïve optimism, the comparatively hefty paychecks of their financiers, and/or the self-absorbed attention and sense of importance that they seek to receive from their work into unknowingly collaborating with forces which they aren’t even aware are foreign intelligence agents hostile to their home government. International ‘NGOs’ (INGOs) are oftentimes very shadowy like this and don’t regularly reveal their true intentions to their in-country staff, and some of them typically operate through ‘shell NGOs’ superficially based inside the targeted country, thus promoting the false perception that they are ‘indigenous’ when they’re not.
The Role Of INGOs
In the context of Hybrid War, INGOs function as the catalysts in organizing large masses of people and propagating their external patron’s political message. They operate through a combination of deceit and openness; on the one hand, they usually don’t proclaim their true regime change objectives or emphasize their foreign origins, but on the other, they do whatever they can to spread awareness about their overt or strongly inferred anti-government agenda. There are some INGOs which are officially apolitical but are in fact inherently political organizations, such as some of those dealing with environmental and animal rights. It should be emphasized that this doesn’t mean that every one of these groups is necessarily working as organizational fronts for a foreign government or has an interest in overthrowing their host government, but just that some of the most well-known names in this field such as Greenpeace have a history of engaging in political disturbances and then propagating the authorities’ response to them as alleged ‘proof’ of the given country’s ‘undemocratic nature’ and ‘lack of free speech’, all of which in turn is predicated on stoking more anti-government resentment.
As for those INGOs which are directly a part of Color Revolution destabilizations, the prevailing trend has been for them to flirt with Unconventional Warfare and urban terrorism by lobbing deadly Molotov cocktails at law enforcement officers, as well as committing crimes such as attacking civilian bystanders and vandalizing public and private property. Whenever the INGOs desire to launch a concerted ‘public action campaign’, as they euphemistically call it, and gather as many people together as they can to protest for or against whatever the carefully selected item of agitation may be, they’re in reality working to assemble a crowd in order to manipulate the inevitable mentality that’s associated with large masses of angry individuals and channel it into a ‘hive mind’ of easily guidable “activists”. These individuals are then subtly encouraged or outright goaded into sparking a confrontation with the authorities, usually by breaking municipal law in marching on a location which they weren’t legally permitted to assemble around and then violently resisting arrest.
The whole point in these sorts of stunts is to prompt situations where edited footage can then be acquired by social media “activists” or sympathetic (collaborationist) mainstream media organizations in portraying the government as the “anti-democratic aggressor” and the “protesters” as the “peaceful victims”. As it relates to Hybrid War, this is intended to strengthen the domestic and international pressure on the authorities and introduce an implicit blackmail scenario whereby the government realizes that it must back down in the face of the incipient “protest” movement otherwise it risks aggravating already high tensions and falling under increased international (Western) condemnation. The perception of the masses has already been influenced to a degree whereby some apolitical individuals begin to sympathize with the “activists” and question whether they may indeed be right after all in accusing the government of “anti-democratic and human rights abuses”. Depending on the course of the destabilization and the decisiveness of the authorities’ response to it, some of the INGO members will then break off from the larger group and form their own urban terrorist cells, at times even dangerously using the unaware apolitical crowd of sympathizers surrounding them as de-facto human shields in warding off police countermeasures such as batons and tear gas.
The self-sustaining and auto-synchronous cycle is apparent, and the escalation ladder suggests that the disorganized urban terrorists will eventually coalesce into more disciplined terrorist formations the longer that the Hybrid War is being waged, such as what happened in Syria up until the present day and in rural Western Ukraine right before the coup. If it were not for INGOs and the crowd mentality schemes that they engage in, it would be much more difficult for these actors to destabilize their host governments and promote regime change scenarios. It should be reminded, however, that many of the civilians gathering around the INGO core are usually unaware of the larger goals being pursued by the “protest” organizers. This is a convenient fact which is exploited by these groups to maximum effect in proselytizing their “official” public message to the masses and then steering their converts in the physical direction of being nearby the police’s response to the core provocateurs’ illegal actions, hoping that any ‘collateral damage’ that occurs to law-abiding civilians during this time can galvanize their incipient anti-government attitudes.
The Future Of INGOs In Egypt And Tunisia
It’s not likely that INGOs will continue to enjoy the same operational freedom under Sisi as they previously had during the last days of Mubarak, and this is simply owing to the experience that the Egyptian state has since received in terms of how these groups are used for regime change purposes. There’s also the very real threat that some INGOs are working with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group, which the US is slavishly sympathetic to, so national security must be considered by all responsible decision makers in Egypt when deciding on the future of INGOs. Concerning Tunisia, however, the country has historically been the most liberal of the North African states, and it doesn’t look like they’ll enact the necessary legislation needed to properly protect themselves from the regime change threat that INGOs are now associated with. Another reason is that they have the globally renowned reputation as being the ‘birthplace’ of the “Arab Spring”, which is still celebrated in the West as a “democratic uprising against totalitarianism”. Even though many Western observers have since wised up to the destabilizing consequences of these transregional Color Revolutions, Tunisia has been the least severely affected by them, which is why it’s still “officially” lionized in the Mainstream Media as the ‘birthplace of modern-day Arab democracy’.
Like it was mentioned in an earlier response, INGOs have also developed a new trend of operating through ‘shell companies’ in order to obscure their foreign nature and more adeptly deceive the domestic audience that they’re trying to target. Instead of the “Open Society Foundation” directly funding whatever ‘NGO’ it is that they envisage promoting their political agenda, for example, they’ll fund a ‘shell NGO’ first and then use that entity to spread their seed funding all throughout the country. There has yet to be any legislation implemented anywhere in the world prohibiting this arrangement from happening or formally decreeing the recipients of the ‘shell NGOs’ laundered largesse as being foreign agents, which is a critical oversight that must be legally remedied as soon as possible by all countries concerned about foreign ‘NGO’-driven Hybrid War destabilizations. While North Africa probably won’t be the first place where this loophole is closed, Egypt might follow the predictable lead of Russia and/or China in likely doing so sometime in the future, and Tunisia might also be compelled to mirror this as well if it begins to once more suffer from INGO destabilization (perhaps with Muslim Brotherhood-sympathetic Western ‘NGOs’ funding violent in-country counterparts).
Varoufakis As Soros’ EU INGO Ringleader
Hybrid War researchers and national security services must keep an eye on George Soros, Gene Sharp, and Yanis Varoufakis. The first one is globally notorious for expending tens of millions of dollars on Color Revolutions and anti-government INGOs all across the globe, while the second one runs the Albert Einstein Institute and is the strategic-tactical architect for “people’s power” unrest. The third one isn’t commonly grouped in the same category as Soros and regime change, though he very well should be considering his links to the billionaire Color Revolution financier as openly evidenced through Varoufakis’ regular contributions to Soros’ “Project Syndicate” website.
This online platform is known as a gathering place for ‘revolutionaries’ and those who desire to catalyze “change” in their societies, which is what Varoufakis now seeks to do. He launched a radical leftist-liberal organization at the beginning of 2016 called DiEM25, which he thenceforth described on “Project Syndicate” as being the beginning of a “Progressive International” which aims to defeat, among others, President Putin, who he intimates is part of a “nationalist international – a classic creature of a deflationary period – united by contempt for liberal democracy and the ability to mobilize those who would crush.” He also since said that Putin is a “war criminal” who “justifies his stranglehold over his own people”, which clearly proves that he’s in opposition to the Russian President and closely echoes what many of Moscow’s regime change opponents have falsely alleged. Given that DiEM25 hopes to become a continental-wide “Progressive International”, it must accordingly be seen as a far-reaching Color Revolution threat which ultimately aims to affect political change in Russia and cause public disruptions to Moscow’s investment deals and partnerships in the EU (per the aforementioned organizational tactics outlined in a previous answer).
Varoufakis’ extreme left-liberal “revolutionary” views could become dangerously attractive to many European and Russian youth, and the Greek demagogue’s connections with George Soros – the man behind the banned Open Society Institute – should be enough cause for Russian decision makers to worry about his intentions and responsibly contemplate preventive action. As Russia continues its post-communist transformation in becoming a conservative civilization-state, one of its greatest enemies might turn out to be the “Secular Wahhabism” that Varoufaki and his Soros-supported ilk represent.
“Varoufakis’ extreme left-liberal “revolutionary” views” – Not even close.
Pure radical Leftists oppose strongly the euro and the European Union project, at least in its current form. Varoufakis (like Tsipras and most of the European Left) believe in vain that Europe can change within the common currency. They are clearly moderate, not radical Left. They are only the substitution of the current bankrupted European Social Democracy, to cover the created political vacuum. Nothing more than that.
“They are only the substitution of the current bankrupted European Social Democracy, to cover the created political vacuum. Nothing more than that.”
Agreed. And just like any other social-democratic outfit, past and present, they apply the tactics of phoney, void promises to the sheeple accompanied by sincere, secret promises to Western imperialism. The case of Tsipras/Varoufakis in Greece is interesting since the sheeple happily bought into Syriza’s phoney, void promises of “EU without austerity”. It worked like a charm. The Greeks didn’t want to lose their privileges based on being a constituent part of the First World. However, the Eurocrats were in need to make an example as to what awaits any aspirations to re-negotiate any Euro-diktat emanating from the Troika. Result: Instant capitulation to even harsher diktat, most likely as per Syriza’s more serious, secret promises to Western imperialism.
It is clear that these INGOs work through ‘useful idiots’. It is sad to see a whole people (otherwise reputed for their intelligence) acting like that.
On behalf of populations I can say its extremely difficult to see through good words from the top, when you are in a desperate situation and see your country as hostage to outside evil forces.
It requires hard work to reveal the agenda behind absurd decisions.
I would add a crucial player in this color-revolution Blitzkrieg – Barrack Obama!
It is widely suspected Obama is/was a CIA creation. When Obama was elected and given the Nobel Peace prize, he essentially earned free trust from those around the world who believed he would deliver. His speech in Cairo reinforced this peaceful front – which in a way it was. However, it was a ruse to convince countries like Egypt, Iran, Syria, etc, that this bi-racial man with parts of his upbringing rooted in a Muslim country, would extend an olive branch in the face of outright naked aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan by the previous president. From Andrew’s work above outlining the sweeping color revolutions, we can look at Barrack as no more than a carefully crafted Trojan horse, a mask on the on-going arc of destabilization across the middle east to craft a Muslim superstate and attack China from the west and Russia from the south by proxy!
As a side note, this explains more clearly Huma Abedin’s (closely connected to Muslim Brotherhood) purpose as Hillary’s side kick.
Yes, ISIS agent Barry Davis (he and his mother were/are very Rothschild Jewish), Huma, Gülen, Ferkel Merkel, Varkoufaris, and so forth.
“Varoufakis’ extreme left-liberal ‘revolutionary’ views could become dangerously attractive to many European and Russian youth, and the Greek demagogue’s connections with George Soros – the man behind the banned Open Society Institute – should be enough cause for Russian decision makers to worry about his intentions and responsibly contemplate preventive action.”
Yes, Varoufakis is a “progressive” (zio-faggot) Westerner all right, and just like quite a few other ambitious ones he has found common employer — hence common cause — with imperialist warmongers, Ukronazis, takfiris, and what-have-you; most significantly sharing a pronounced Russophobia. Of course, this just illustrates the plain simple fact that if you want to be clothed and fed by Soros and the EU, you have to apply/invent some ‘creative’ ideological contortions in order to align yourself with the will of Massa.
But then Korybko botches it:
“As Russia continues its post-communist transformation in becoming a conservative civilization-state, one of its greatest enemies might turn out to be the ‘Secular Wahhabism’ that Varoufakis and his Soros-supported ilk represent.”
I read the link on “Secular Wahhabism” authored by selfsame Andrew Korybko, and here he misses the point entirely:
“Secular Wahhabis manipulate Western civilization’s preexisting structural vulnerabilities in order to facilitate the suicide of their own civilizations, purposefully taking the Western conceptions of ‘multiculturalism’ and ‘political correctness’ to radical extremes in order to break the system from within.”
Well, dear Andrew Korybko: I think you should try and catch up with the world and drop the narrative. What’s completely absent in your entire treatise on the subject of “Secular Wahhabis” is what’s actually causing the refugee torrents to poor little, innocent West: Unending imperialist war. Your “Secular Wahhabis” are not the Cultural Marxists — the latter are mostly committed to sexual depravity, self-love, infantilism, and contempt of morale and sense of duty — but the ruling Western Zionazi plutocracy itself. Terribly sorry, but you have to ultimately face the somber fact that in today’s West you cannot have “Western Culture” without Cultural Marxism, since the latter has already earned its reputation as a useful tool for Western imperialist designs (war campaigns promoting faggotry and feminism). And even more crucial is the fact that, from now on, the ruling classes of your precious West are themselves 100% deliberately destroying Whitey’s Heimat by destroying the Middle East
“Of course, the idea of civilizational guilt is a completely artificial and one-sided politically charged construction that neglects the fact that all civilizations throughout history have committed unjust actions against others”
Sure. Be prepared to behave accordingly then as the “Secular Wahhabis” rage and fume at you for Aleppo, Crimea, Stalin-the-über-Monster, and all the rest. From a Russian, nothing less than total self-obliteration will do, understood?
I’m sorry, but you’re terribly mistaken with your presuppositions. I rarely interject on threads but feel obligated to set the record straight — I, too, live in Russia and permanently relocated here 3 1/2 years ago. I don’t care about what you sarcastically termed “my precious West”, I live in Moscow now and this is my home. Your tone and angle are totally off.
Moreover, the audience that you’re grandstanding in front of should know that it’s actually you who’s pushing a narrative. You said:
“What’s completely absent in your entire treatise on the subject of “Secular Wahhabis” is what’s actually causing the refugee torrents to poor little, innocent West: Unending imperialist war.”
That’s not true, but you probably wrote it because you’re betting that most people won’t click the link and fully read through the articles themselves. If they did, they would see the following passage unequivocally condemning the US for its imperialist war, which you deliberately lied by saying is “completely absent” in my work:
“No single event has done more to catalyze Civilizational Aggression and the New Fascism than the Immigrant Crisis, which itself is a strategically engineered byproduct of the US’ neo-imperialist wars on the Mideast-North Africa (MENA) region. To concisely summarize what’s been happening, the US sought to simultaneously enhance its unipolar position in MENA through the “Arab Spring” theater-wide Color Revolutions. When some of them predictably turned into bloody Hybrid Wars, such as what had happened in Libya and Syria, US intelligence agencies jumped into action by capitalizing off of the humanitarian crisis and transforming it into a Fifth Generational Warfare weapon for use against the EU.”

I have no intention, will, or time to enter into back-and-forth polemics with you, and simply wanted to correct the intentional falsehood that you wrote in crafting your narrative, for whatever your reason may be to have done so and then mischeviously pretend that I’m the one misleading people.
Kindly understand that I more than likely won’t be responding to any more of your provocations and will leave it to the audience to judge your intentions after having been exposed for the liar that you undeniably are.
Thank you, and take care.
Without entering to discuss your article, which I have not read yet, Mr. Korybko, IMHO, many people who is rude and agressive by nature and felt under great pressure by the natural and essential rules of courtesy amongst humans, especially humans who have not meet each other ever nor are friends, have found an excellent alibi in the new stream/crusade promoted by the so called “alt-right” in some “alt-media” against “political correctness” to behave as they have always desired.
I particulary find this commenter always very agressive in his comments, not to mention that he always come to make wood of the fallen tree whenever any commenter is in trouble, but, well, this seems to be now the brand of the house, since he is not the only one behaving so, but really a group who seem to have taken over the blog. You can differentiate them because all use this term, “Cultural Marxism”.
“You can differentiate them because all use this term, “Cultural Marxism”.”
There is no such thing as “Cultural Marxism”, it is an invented tern by the same critters who several decades ago in pindoland called white people who associated with black people “n….. lovers” (edited MOD). They are hesitant to do so now, unless among their own zionazi approved kind, so call their new fangled zio-faggotry ” cultural Marxism”.
You probably shouldn’t have to respond at all to this troll who haunts from time to time the Saker’s blog. Most of us know him and don’t pay much attention to his ravings.
Andrew, I’m actually very glad that you took your time to respond. One of the thing I enjoy about blogs such as this one – is that it is alive. It is important to fight back! This is what it is all about. This is why we come here. This is why you contribute here. Silence could be a weapon but not here. BTW, your article is top notch. Thank you
I also read the articles about ‘Secular’ Wahhabism, and especially part II is very good actually. (maybe your criticism misses the point entirely)
What Andrew describes is very true. It is actually the ethnic cult/mafia Pharisaic Talmudism, since long led by the Roths-childs, who were/are behind Çolumbus, the trans-Atlantic slave trade-exploitation, the East & West India Companies, and so forth, therefore Western imperialism.
(as Serbia, Germany had not much of an imperial history either)
They typically propagate that Whiteys are to blame for it, especially in Rothschild Nazi/Marxist tyrannized Germany (since 1918), where the dumbed-down Germans (worst media in the world) are blamed for Rothschild’s MI6-CIA Hitler Project, at that.
Thanks for an informative round-up of what we have seen happening across the world in recent times. It does help understanding to have a comprehensive overview to pull together all the various threads.
I am particularly intrigued by your concept of ‘Secular Wahabism’ and will be reading more on that. I am one of those virulent anti-imperialists and confess to have been taken in by the self-promoting showman Varoufakis when he first appeared. I can understand that he would have a more enduring appeal to younger and less wary activists who have not previously been burnt as often as this old lady.
Outstanding quality.
Thank you, AK !
Yes, I still remember the ominous phrase uttered by Condoleezza Rice: “We prefer democracy over stability” in the Middle East (and elsewhere, of course); where “democracy” = zionazi rule imposed by blatant aggression mislabeled as civil war.
But there is something else I want to point out to. Namely, the fact that the ghouls from the Einstein Institute (?!) also designed the antidote to color revolution tactics, no wonder, might they be deployed by their perceived enemies. One word: Odessa!
(Pro)Russian population in Ukraine naively called their uprising against the Maiden (zio)nazis the Russian Spring – after the said Arab Spring. Remember how it was neutralized: psychopath murderers mixed with the regular protesters – just wearing red bands – and directed the protesters into a closed space (the Trade Union building in this case). The rest was easy: having nowhere to go, the innocent protestors were being exterminated on the spot with heinous brutality only the zionazi scum is capable of!
The message to the other (pro)Russian protesters across Ukraine was clear, and the “Russian Spring” was over. Human rights, needless to say, didn’t apply in this case.
I wish somebody takes note of this particular example as a tool to subdue an uprising if it doesn’t fit the zionazi agenda.
That is right. Is there an antidote to the coup d’etat, like the one in Brazil?
An entire article designed to ensure you do *not* look behind the curtain, and see Saudi Arabia hiding there.
Turkey and Egypt have played *zero* part in any world shaping events for at least 100 years, and anyone who doesn’t appreciate this is utterly ignorant of world History.
The British took over the Turkish Empire in everything but name in the 19th Century. Early in the 20th Century, a *jewish* movement called ‘The Young Turks’, analagous and linked to the *jewish* movements that took control in Russia, formally ended the Ottoman Empire (and gave the 20th century its first *genocide* with the slaughter of a christian people far too close to the original teachings of Jesus, and far too distant from the pseudo-christian religions, including Roman Catholicism, that the jews turned christianity into when they took power in Rome- at which point the New Testament was depreciated for worship of the jewish Torah, renamed as the Old Testament- the very book the original christians had rejected).
Egypt had been removed from the equation in the 19th century as well, also by the British. Both Turkey and Egypt were transformed into saddo mechanisms for controlling local muslim populations (at the bottom), and ruled by Westernised West Europe friendly elites.
But you are told *never* to look at the history of the British created Saudi Arabia (or the real purpose of its British created siamese twin, Israel). While fools talk about a ressurection of the completely dead and buried ‘Ottaman Empire’, Greater Saudi Arabia – one of Blair’s biggest projects- is ignored. Do you find Turkish judges, priests, or civil servants exported to as many islamic nations as possible? No! Egyptian? No! But from North Africa to Indonesia, and all across the Middle East, trained wahhabi Saudis are injected into every aspect of the ruling mechanisms of those muslim nations.
In Syria, Libya and Iraq, the Isis ‘judges’ who condemn men and women to torture, disfigurement, and ritual murder, are legally trained Saudi citizens provided by the saudi government. In the UK the biggest mosques and islamic social centres are all funded by saudi Arabia (don’t believe me- go Google). Yet when was the last time you heard Putin talk about this- try *never*.
Assange and Wikileaks were an essential part of the Arab Spring, of course. Wikileaks has never published anything damaging to the real agenda of the demons, but has revealed plenty that has assisted the demons. Assange has always been an unwitting dupe, and was chosen because of his freaky cult upbringing (Australia had/has a lot of experimental cults that are really social engineering experiments). He is a egotist and narcisist (which is why he fell so easily into the honey trap designed to make him a martyr and make his work seem above suspicion to naive peeps on our side).
Given that the nations that ‘fell’ as a result of the ‘Arab Spring’ were already in the pockets of the West, anyone trying a simple-minded sheeple analysis of events is good for ignoring only. Think earlier. Iraq was best buds with the USA. It was Iran that was America’s ‘enemy’ (apparently). Yet which one did the demons choose to destroy with their lies? What you *think* is black and white is no different from what you *think* is left and right – just illusions manufactured by the servants of the demons to fool and control you.
Saddam was told to invade Kuwait by his US contacts. And with that move, and each subsequent one till the day he was executed, Saddam attempted to understand what exactly the Americans wanted, so he could offer it to them. He could not understand why this seemingly made no difference. But Saudi Arabia could. Saddam’s *secular* autocracy was not what the Saudis wanted for the muslim peoples of planet Earth, no matter how pefectly is served the West.
The demons want and need a “clash of Humanity”. Modern peoples have become too aligned for this. The Russians, Europeans and Chinese peoples actually like each other or feel more alike than at any previous time. And that’s a problem for the demon’s plan to invoke global nuclear war. But the muslims- now there’s a thing. The civilised muslims are so easily swept aside by disaffected youth from the botton of society and religious nutter chiefs serving the demons at the top. And the ‘corrected’ muslim nation can become a place the ‘civilised’ non-muslim world can agree to despise. As Greater Saudi Arabia grows, so one part of Humanity sees a growing separate part of Humanity as a ‘cancer’ that needs to be ‘excised’. And the feeling becomes increasingly mutual from the muslim world to the non-muslim.
Why do you think it is that the demons have arranged it so that it is the *dregs* from muslim nations that now floods into non-muslim nations – whereas before it was controlled muslim immigration by nice, educated, grateful muslims?
This article uses the old trick of ‘micro analysis’ so the *bigger picture*, so clear when you zoom out and think about what is happening and why, can be ignored. Too few ask why Syria, Libya and Iraq had to be destroyed- falling for some glib nonsense that ignores just how friendly these nations were to the West, and how much effort the West had invested in the 20th Century getting them to that point. Supposed ‘feminist’ leaders cheer the end of female rights in these now ruined nations. Don’t you find that odd? Supposed liberals cheer the death of almost all Human Rights in these now ruined nations. Don’t you find that odd? Both liberals and feminists say it was more important for Saddam and Gadaffi to be murdered than any thought given to what would then happen to the lives of ordinary people in those ruined nations. Don’t you find that odd?
Or maybe your favourite leaders, social, religious, political etc, were working for the demons all along, and your *need* to have someone to look up to compromised your thinking.
“thus creating a transregional ideologically identical ‘super state’ which could be controlled by proxy via Neo-Ottoman Erdogan (just as the Eastern Bloc was controlled by the USSR up until a generation ago)”
Oh, come on, this is isreali-speak. I stopped reading at that point. The mb quislings were created decades before erdogan, and this phony “Muslim” proxy force was to serve as a bulwark to protect western, and especially israeli/zionazi expansionist geopolitical goals, against the Mideast governments who sought independence from the zpc/nwo and looked to Russia for help.
All these revolutionary techniques, covert operations, psy-ops, subversive propaganda, have been perfected in the laboratories of the secret societies under the umbrella of Free-Masonry and applied in all the ‘revolutions’ directed at the traditional societies. Same scenarios in 1789, 1848, 1905, 1917, 1989. Different masks, but the same play, with the same goal: the destruction of the Christian Civilization.
As an aside, the Muslim Brotherhood was groomed by the CIA for ‘jihad against Communism’, actually against Soviet Union.
President Eisenhower, promoted this line, beginning in 1953 and reinforced in the 60s. A memo summarizing discussions with the CIA covert ops chief, Frank Wisner (who figures in Obama’s Arab Spring scenario in 2011), and the Joint Chiefs of Staff about the use of MB recorded the President directives:
“The President said . . . we should do everything possible to stress the ‘holy war’ aspect. Mr. Dulles commented that if Arabs have a ‘holy war’ they would want it to be against Israel. The President recalled, however, that [King Ibn] Saud . . . had called on all Arabs to oppose Communism”.
Thank you Andrew,
Yet again you dissect bit by bit how these colour revolutions were/are able to take place.
Your point on Varoufakis is correct – he is a disciple of Soros. I remember reading about this when Syrizia first won the election and he was made one of their main ministers for finance. His riding a motobike in a leather jacket acting all cool and “down with the kids” at the same time making out his type of economics was “for the people”. agaisnt the EU/establishment. He left the party to great fanfare and has used that to now push his agenda. The fact that since he left he has trashed President Putin – exposes him for who he truly is.
Thank you for bringing it to eveyone’s attention and reminding us all – how these revolutions work.
OT, But I don’t want bother Saker with an email since it isn’t a pressing matter.
It doesn’t seem that any comments have been posted here since Tuesday night usa time?
Never mind my last comment. After posting it, the recent comments showed up. I guess it was another javascript problem on my end.
No,
I am getting recent comments not showing up regularly and have to keep refreshing the page, even when it is newly loaded.
Interesting counterpoint: Look at how the US propaganda media is attempting to reinvent Obama’s history in the Middle East:

Those dastardly Russkies, ruining Barack’s legacy!
Obama is devious but neither clever nor intelligent. He is best understood as a horrid, petulant, spoiled man-child.
In his simplistic understanding, the Muslim Brotherhood are the “good guys”. The US has always been the “bad guy”. How does he know these things? As a child he spent time in a very moderate Muslim country, was schooled for a few years in a madrassa, smoked dope in college with some really cool rich Muslim friends, and once visited Pakistan.
So he is an expert on Islam and the Muslim world.
In his simplistic, ideological worldview the United States and Western Europe prior to his presidency is THE bad actor in modern history. He set about making that right, in his own imagination anyhow, by deliberately sabotaging the foreign policy of his predecessor.
Remember, the war in Iraq was concluded and the country was stable with a puppet regime in place. For no other reason than personal spite of George W. Bush, Obama spiked the “status of forces” agreement as a pretext to completely withdrawing US troops. The fragile regime, unable to stand on its own, imploded and the country descended into chaos. EXACTLY as everyone warned him it would, but he knew better.
A wonderful description of what Obama did toppling regimes in the Middle East: “He killed the zookeepers, unlocked the big cat cages, and walked away.”
The results are utterly predictable and surprise no one except Obama.
Just as Hillary Clinton is unable to accept her defeat, Obama is unable to accept his failure. HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT! He apologized to the Muslim street, walked away from the Iraq War, and helped the good guys in the Muslim Brotherhood topple those mean old dictators prior US administrations had backed. WHY DIDN’T IT WORK?!!
Aha … it’s Vladimir Putin, the American Left’s new bogeyman! Putin sabotaged Barack Obama!
January 20, 2017 can’t come quickly enough.
Very happy to see that Yanis (with one “n”) Varoufakis is outed for what he really is in front of non-Greek audiences. What Greeks have now come to bitterly understand should become common knowledge.
To be fair, Varoufakis claims to have been against Greece’s euro participation in the first place. However, when the nasty deed was done, he maintained that Greece should stick with the euro out of necessity, for as long as it lasts.
But apart from that, spot on!
Varoufakis is one of those “leftists” who believe that the EU monster can be reformed from within (I think we would call that Trotskyism?), because taking it apart would mean loosing all the goodies he gets from it. These might be bourgeois, easy-living, upper-middle-class lifestyle (take a look at the deplorable photo-shoot he did for Paris Match http://www.topontiki.gr/article/121345/h-lifestyle-fotografisi-toy-giani-varoyfaki-gia-paris-match-photos or his filmed escapade at lake Como https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKC9azMLj7Q) or just plain simple ego massage he gets from his various speaking engagements.
I believe that his greatest character flaw is his narcissism. He exudes it from his every pore. His self-love is such that he took it upon him to revise the spelling of the most common Greek name (cutting one “n”, i.e. “Γιάνης” instead of “Γιάννης”). Did this self-absorbed intellectual masturbator, really believe that he would sway all those hardened finance ministers like Schäuble with his good looks and his oratorical prowess? Did he really believe that they would “see the light” and worship him like his female students supposedly did?
He got his (and Greece’s) ass kicked, and for what? To prove a point? To test his game theories and the “game of chicken”? Or was all that “blunder” a plan devised in the Levy Institute to actually get Greece kicked out of the euro (http://www.riskygames.gr/to-megalo-lobby-ths-drachmis-g-note-levy-institute-papadimitriou/1148), despite Varoufakis’ protestations to the contrary?
The only people that have enough information to laugh with his shenanigans are too busy crying… It’s the Greeks.
Then again, the Greeks’ capability for self-sarcasm is inexhaustible. Enjoy “Varoufunk” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLa2OSND9gY),,,
