Thanks for taking the time to review the REVOLUTION BUSINESS link and posting about it on EPJ.
- This recent post from blog "LAND DESTROYER" says that Arab Spring is a "color coded revolution" and that the leader of the new regime in Tunisia is essentially a National Endowment for Democracy (NED) agent -
Less controversial, here are some more links I bookmarked when doing my own review of the REVOLUTION BUSINESS video a month or so ago. These may be of interest...
- A key thinker cited in this is Gene Sharp = http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Gene_Sharp - Gene Sharp and the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) have been subject to some allegations of their connection to NED in a paper presented at a left-leaning human rights conference here in Australia
- (See article from page 25) http://www.scu.edu.au/
research/cpsj/human_rights/ AHRP2008_Proc_Final.pdf - "The AEI as front" theory is discussed on the Wiki article about the AEI
- The REVOLUTION BUSINESS video also cites a revolution simulation game called "A Force More Powerful" http://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/A_Force_More_Powerful - The video game is produced by BreakAway Games a company that does a lot of US DoD work, including training videos for the military http://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/BreakAway_Games - Serbian anti-Milosevic activists associated with "Otpor!" were associated with the development of the game and "Otpor" is associated with NED http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Otpor!
- Is Revolution inc. involved with OWS? The "Land Destroyer" blog says at least one leading "Arab Spring" activist is involved in OWS. He refers to this recent WIRED item.
(Land Destroyer blog has a "Guide to OWS" which sees OWS as essentially a front movement.
The LD "Guide to OWS" [you have to run down the page a bit!!] actually includes some pretty detailed 'power elite' analysis of various Think Tanks and 'influencer' outfits like Brookings and CFR.

LD doesn't raise the possibility of blowback - i.e. tactics fostered for use against foreign enemies rebounding against their original sponsors. We've seen that before!! History suggests the sponsoring revolutionary activities abroad can blowback. For example, it is well known that Lenin was shipped to Russia on a "sealed train" [organised by Arthur Zimmermann (yes, "the Zimmermann telegram" guy!)] towards the end of WW1. The Germans wanted to use the communists to help destabilise Czarist Russia. The regime Lenin founded would of course eventually become the preferred enemy of the German militarists. They would indeed be fighting agents of the same regime on the streets of Germany itself in about a dozen years.
All this is interesting stuff - but once you start digging into this whole covert / intelligence / conspiracy world it becomes something of a sand pit. Still, I think there is some merit in the comments of John Laughland from (UK) "The Spectator" some years ago (see http://www.spectator.co. uk/spectator/thisweek/11613/i- believe-in-conspiracies.thtml ) . JL noted that despite fundamental hostility to "conspiracy theories" from 'establishment' opinion makers, the same "anti-conspiracists" somehow failed to note that US and UK foreign policy for some years was plainly based on 'officially' promoted conspiracy theories about Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein - whilst massive covert efforts by western powers to shape domestic politics in the Eastern Europe and the Arab world is barely touched by 'respectable' media outfits.
