The White Balloon Protest in Russia against Putin Heats Up

Just like CIA adviser Gene Sharp wrote. Every uprising needs a color. The agent provocateurs embedded in Russia have chosen white, and in a new touch, white balloons.

Hundreds of cars flying white ribbons or white balloons are driving around Moscow's Garden Ring in a show of support for a protest movement against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. - A car decorated of white balloons seen on the Moscow's Garden Ring road during a protest in Moscow, Russia, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012.

The latest report via the Toronto Globe and Mail  is that thousands of cars flying white ribbons are circling central Moscow.

  1. When I first saw the picture, I thought they were throwing white balloons at his car.

  2. Mr Wenzel, you should be ashamed of yourself. Putin is a cruel and corrupt dictator, much worse than the most the Arab dictators against whom the peoples of the Middle East were rebelling last year. What kind of racist preconception is that - that the only way the Russian people would resist their dictator is if they were the puppets of the CIA?

  4. Ivan put his finger on something very true: the tendency of some American libertarians to explain every important event with actions done by the American government. It gets quite silly at times. The US government is powerful and evil, but they're not behind everything that happens in the world.

  5. A man with a history of assault is likely to continue that behavior, hence a likely and logical suspect. I don't see any evidence to the contrary that the CIA is not involved given its history fomenting "democratic" revolutions.

    You never thought of possibility that sometimes people get pissed off with their dictators, or politicians in general? It always has to be some evil CIA conspiracy. Was the Tea Party also a CIA conspiracy? How about OWS? Or the so called Arab Spring? Or maybe you think that the fall of the Berlin Wall was also a CIA conspiracy? It appears that nowhere in the world a democratic protest could be genuine, only in America. Russians are obviously too stupid to be fed up with corruption, oppression and stolen elections, without CIA's help. That's racism, my friend, pure and simple. You are not protecting the noble savages from evil American empire, but patronizing and insulting them. I am one of them - I participated in the revolution against Milosevic in Serbia in 2000, and I've heard everything about the sinister CIA plots to remove our great, dear leader (who also tried to steal the elections).

  7. Actually, OWS isn't genuine either.

  8. I have no doubts that people get pissed with their dictators or overlords to use Tom Wood's vernacular and I have no doubts that the CIA or equivalent will not take advantage of it. Look at how grassroots movements get co-opted by the elites.
