Armenia's "Velvet Revolution" was more of the same.

It appears that other states have closely observed these operations and applied the reciprocal torch to the USA itself. Perhaps with an outcome that removes neocons and their catamites with 'extreme prejudice'? It is certainly overdue for a good political scrubbing.

I have seen no evidence of this.

Not sure that we need predictions about the dystopian future - seem to have been living in a dystopian alternative reality since at least 1979...

A superb review of the egregious and mendacious nature of Western politics implemented by the bastions of freedom and democracy.

Kit, Thanks for this excellent post. I’ve written myself about this subject, and hope to do more soon. This is more grist to the mill. Will repost this on my X and FB. See below FYI.

ARTICLE: The Rise n' Rise of the Regime Renovators™️ — Episode 1️⃣: Another Splendid Little Coup (Now and Then)

https://tinyurl.com/mukupahh

Synopsis: The more diligent students of history will be au fait with the interminable fondness of the Anglo-American-Zionist Deep State—mainly comprising the CIA, MI6, the Mossad and/or their countless proxy partners in clandestine crime—for orchestrating coups, colour revolutions and the like, relieving democratically elected leaders of the burdens of power, and generally mucking about in the affairs of other nations. Taken as a whole, it represents the mainstay of Western foreign policy, its wrecking ball in the diplomatic toolbox as it were. For its part Venezuela is but one of many well-documented examples of this disastrous, deja vu-infused track record.

Given the supreme ironies inherent in the political imbroglio that attended Russia’s much ballyhooed ‘meddling’ in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, along with the Deep Swamp’s implacable resolve to spark regime change in Russia’s close ally Iran, it’s time to revisit some of this history. This, to say little of the events in Ukraine and Syria—the former evincing hard-core blowback from a Washington engineered coup there in 2014 and the latter now done n’ dusted ✅.

As I’m fond of saying: There’s nothing like a deep dive into the memory hole to sharpen our outlook on the present geopolitical milieu and the forces which have fashioned it. Doing so presents us an opportunity to view the situations in Ukraine, Venezuela and Syria, [and] the Iran regime change obsession, along with the never ending trumped up turmoil in and across the Middle East and elsewhere within a broader, more nuanced historical context.

Such a renewed perspective should come with clear signs of the existential dangers for global peace and stability—and humanity at large—of allowing our unhinged leaders in the West to continue, like the proverbial bull in the China shop, rampaging down this path unchallenged, one that is as well-worn as it’s fraught with ever greater peril.

Along with reminding those who may have memory holed it, or not fully comprehended the implications, this series aims then to bring this narrative front of mind for those just beginning to grapple with the reality that all is not right with the world. And in doing do, expose the role of the Anglo-American-Zionist establishment in creating that uncertainty and unprecedented instability. — GM

I so wish that many more Americans were aware of what our government does to subjugate other countries instead believing the bullshit of spreading “democracy”.

They don't care. The Americans' methods are cynical. They work.

One of the consequences of all this trickery is that all astute Americans can now ascertain when 98% of American politicians are lying. Their lips are moving.

Doesn't matter, as long as those officials' orders are obeyed.

Of course the once and future color revolutions are no more organic than fake grass. Of course the CIA and State Department are behind them.

Doesn't matter. They work. Yankee dollars can buy all manner of collaborators, dangle out a meet and greet with a celebrity, a US visa, an admissions ticket to Princeton and watch the locals slaver like Pavlov's dogs.

Countries have been quite naive.

In 1991, I visited my brother in Washington. He worked at a senior level with the World Bank. At a social meeting where many of his colleagues were present, they were talking about meetings with NGO's. I was quite ignorant of what was going on. I had assumed that NGO's were charities of some sort. As soon as I asked a question, they all clamped shut and changed the subject.

Later, when I asked him directly, he told me that they were important and left it at that.
