The Arab world needs to learn a few fundamental lessons about the mechanics of CIA color revolutions, lest they replicate the tragic experience of Georgia, Ukraine, and so many others.




Washington DC, January 16, 2011 -- The US intelligence community is now in a manic fit of gloating over this weekend's successful overthrow of the Tunisian government of President Ben Ali. The State Department and the CIA, through media organs loyal to them, are mercilessly hyping the Tunisian putsch of the last few days as the prototype of a new second generation of color revolutions, postmodern coups, and US-inspired people power destabilizations. At Foggy Bottom and Langley, feverish plans are being made for a veritable Mediterranean tsunami designed to topple most existing governments in the Arab world, and well beyond. The imperialist planners now imagine that they can expect to overthrow or weaken the governments of Libya, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Algeria, Yemen, and perhaps others, while the CIA's ongoing efforts to remove Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi (because of his friendship with Putin and support for the Southstream pipeline) make this not just an Arab, but rather a pan-Mediterranean, orgy of destabilization.

Hunger revolution, not Jasmine revolution

Washington's imperialist planners now believe that they have successfully refurbished their existing model of CIA color revolution or postmodern coup. This method of liquidating governments had been losing some of its prestige after the failure of the attempted plutocratic Cedars revolution in Lebanon, the rollback of the hated IMF-NATO Orange revolution in Ukraine, the ignominious collapse of June 2009 Twitter revolution in Iran, and the widespread discrediting of the US-backed Roses revolution in Georgia because of the warmongering and oppressive activities of fascist madman Saakashvili. The imperialist consensus is now that the Tunisian events prefigure a new version of people power coup specifically adapted to today's reality, specifically that of a world economic depression, breakdown crisis, and disintegration of the globalized casino economy.

The Tunisian tumults are being described in the US press as the "Jasmine revolution," but it is far more accurate to regard them as a variation on the classic hunger revolution. The Tunisian ferment was not primarily a matter of the middle class desire to speak out, vote, and blog. It started from the Wall Street depredations which are ravaging the entire planet: outrageously high prices for food and fuel caused by derivatives speculation, high levels of unemployment and underemployment, and general economic despair. The detonator was the tragic suicide of a vegetable vendor in Sidi Bouzid who was being harassed by the police. As Ben Ali fought to stay in power, he recognized what was causing the unrest by his gesture of lowering food prices. The Jordanian government for its part has lowered food prices there by about 5%.

  • I stopped listening after the claim that there are no races, ie no differences between population groups...which is total BS.

  • @jbster7777 much better than the crackpot .034 batting avg lindsay williams

  • SO surreal, @04:44 ... I live in Tucson and I know the taxi driver who gave Loughner the ride that morning. He's no normal cab driver. He's a druggy.

  • Webster Tarpley is a kooky mad scientist fucking retard who reads everything in front of him and doesn't know how to make any sense of it.

  • @Candyliz2003 I even did it for you but YT wont let me insert the link. I don't want to give you a migrain by making you think too much but you have to look it up for yourself.

  • @Candyliz2003 Resorted to racism now have we? Im sorry I was wrong, its actually 30,000+ scientists sueing Al Gore.

    Just google it mate, its really pretty obvious if you have above a 3rd grade education, I mean come on do it now it will take you like 2 minutes, then I wont have to waste my time debating an obnoxious retard. Happy reading.

  • hahaha just after I post the previous comment I get to the part where Alex gets a message to correct the Walker/Wheeler mix-up ;-)

  • The guy who was found in the dump truck is not walker but Wheeler.

    How can these two not catch their errors after repeayedly mentioning a few times the wrong name

  • @auzzienproudofit

    Should I be surprised this comes from a countryman of Rupert Murdoch?

    The trick is to keep your lie vague and devoid of verifiable facts. For example,"10,000+ scientists SUEING Al Gore for FRAUD" is a lie easy to debunk for which you have NO PROOF.

    Try getting a real education.

    Now put another shrimp on the barbee & GO MAKE ME A SAMMICH BITCH.

  • @Candyliz2003 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Your kidding right? Tell thet to the 10,000+ scientists SUEING Al Gore for FRAUD! Or do you listen to the 'scientst'/beaurocrats on the IPCC? Your a joke mate, I mean anyone with two braincells to rub together knows MAN MADE global warming is a fraud to impose carbon taxes. Im not saying the climate isn't changing, because it is, but its a %100 natural phenomenom.
