On the surface the Arab Spring looked like a grassroots revolution by the people of Egypt and other oppressed Middle Eastern countries to overthrow oppressive governments and institute real democracy. But if you look a little closer the movement to overthrow oppression actually empowers even greater oppression by global oligarchs.
Geopolitical analyst Tony Cartalucci wrote an article in May of 2011, America’s Arab Deception where 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.”
The Arab Spring was a big giant lie and here is why…
1: The pervasive news coverage of the Arab Spring by the MSM. Anytime a story takes up an entire 24 hour news cycle one should question if there is another agenda.
2: US trained 5000 activists last February from Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, and Lebanon–admitted by Michael Posner, Assistant Secretary of State. Posner claims our Federal government budgeted $50 million to develop new technologies to protect activists from arrest by authoritarian governments. (Do you really buy that the federal government is that concerned about activists?)
3: The funding for the Arab Spring: The New York Times did an article on where the money came from. And it came from organizations funded by the National Endowment for Democracy which receives 100 million USD from Congress while Freedom House receives most of its money from the US State Department.
4: Involvement of US Companies. US State Department, Google, MTV, the Edelman public relations firm, Facebook, CBS News, MSNBC…
On April 15th, Cartalucci wrote in the jounal, 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.
The Arab Spring was anything but “grassroots” and the propaganda campaign to suggest it was should be highly suspect.
