Honestly I have a few days catching up to do, and this has probably been mentioned somewhere (maybe someone could help to find where), but this article comes pretty close to what I was thinking:
The theory of 'manageable chaos' put into practice
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2 ... ctice.html
I'll put some of it here:
Assumptions about recent protests in the Arab East being all parts of one game which was plotted from abroad will turn into facts as soon as we analyze technology used during the uprising and the results.
Theory
Recent events perfectly fit into the US-invented concept of 'manageable chaos' (also known as 'controlled instability' theory). Among its authors are: Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Polish American political scientist, Gene Sharp, who wrote From Dictatorship to Democracy, and Steven Mann, whose Chaos Theoryand Strategic Thought was published in Washington in 1992, and who was involved in plotting 'color revolutions' in some former Soviet republics.
These are key principles of the 'manageable chaos' theory:
-to unite various political groups against existing government
-to undermine a country leaders` confidence in themselves and in loyalty of the army
- destabilization of the situation with the help of aggressive protesters and criminals
•to topple existing regime through a coup or during the so-called 'democratic elections'
The legal basis and moral aspect
In geopolitics morality depends on national interests. As far as information warfare is concerned, it does not seem to do anything with internationally recognized notion of aggression. When there is no agreement on what to define as 'international terrorism' nothing prevents Washington from using whatever means to fight it in any part of the world, and the 'manageable chaos' theory comes in very handy here.
Implementation of the plan
In 1996 the U.S. created a presidential commission to work out offensive strategy of information warfare, while the CIA formed the Critical Technologies Group and the Department for international issues. A special technology was designed to automatically track all data transmitted via the Internet, including private correspondence, to identify suspicious messages by key words. Searching for these key words in Arabic was made a priority of the program.
The Pentagon first launched this kind of work even earlier. In 1990 the US Armed Forces adopted Field Service Regulations FM-100-20, which was replaced by FM-100-23 in 1994. In April of 2010 the US Cyber Command was formed as sub-unified command subordinate to US Strategic Command. It was headed by General Keith Alexander, the former director of the National Security Agency. In October, 2010 Gen Alexander announced his Cyber Command`s combat readiness.
In line with 'Perspective-2020' program for the US strategic military development, information superiority is one of key factors. The new command faced that task to carry out a full range of operations in the world wide web. Private companies were invited to join the program. In June, 2009 the US Special Operations Command and Gallup Polls signed an agreement to process the results of opinion polls in different parts of the world in order to use them later during implementing campaigns aimed at shaping public opinion. The Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) was responsible for developing software that would be used in cyber warfare.
At the end of 2011 the White House reported that President Obama knew about protests in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain and Yemen in advance and in August, 2010, ordered his administration to prepare a secret report on the situation in the Arab world.
Practically in all countries hit by rioting the protesters used social networks websites Facebook, Twitter as well as Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail services to exchange information on planned protest actions. All the aforementioned services are headquartered in the US and of course are controlled by the state.
Armed with necessary information, it does not take much effort to send messages to a number of people who would later pass the information over to others who may not know anything about Twitter but are always ready to participate in violent protest campaigns.
And there is nothing wrong if local security services find that the uprising is being planned in the web because it is quite easy to codify IP address of the main computer, and what is more important- it is impossible to stop thousands of people from taking to the streets.
Internet and mobile cutoff was delayed for several days, sometimes for a week, which in some cases resulted in a serious blow to the authorities.
Purposes and goals
It appears that this large-scale campaign seeks global redivision of the world and a change in leadership in countries where the US has its long-term strategic interests. If young pro-western politicians ascend to power in the region, the US will enjoy its growing global position, while China, Russia and the EU will be left behind.
Special attention is paid to Islamist groups of all kind. Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organisation, The Muslim Brotherhood, has remained the mouthpiece of protests in the Muslim world. And recently the organization has been experiencing the process of gradual legalization in exchange for decline of radical forms of expressing protests. As a result, once banned, The Muslim Brotherhood enjoyed almost 20% of seats in parliament until it was dissolved last month. Undoubtedly, this organization will gain even more votes in next parliamentary elections.
Fundamentalists will also become stronger in other countries where the US applied its cyber warfare, but these will be new generation Islamists, so to speak, like in Turkey where The Muslim Brotherhood is a ruling party. They use Islamic slogans in rhetoric but in fact deal with the issues of international integration.
Those who oppose new rules of the game will have to choose between hard-line reprisals or an exile.
The implementation of the campaign was spoiled by Libyan leader. For years the US administrations dreamed of getting rid of Muammar Gaddafi, but each time this charismatic and independent leader somehow manages to outwit the Americans. And thus Gaddafi saved other Arab leaders, who were next in the line, so to speak.
However, the US positively views achieved results. Apart from gaining control of the largest oil and gas fields and transportation routes, Washington will get access to markets where it may sell its arms. It is also very important that the US dollar will remain the major currency in the region.
Israel is pleased with the outcome of the uprising too as Arab leaders are now more deeply concerned about their own future rather than confrontation with the Jewish state. It will take the Arab world much time to recover from the blow. Strange as it might seem but the Saudi Arabia has gained its benefits too because now it has no rivals, except Israel, in struggle for being a better ally for the US in the region.
We should admit that the 'manageable chaos' theory has proved to be effective in terms of geopolitical re devision of the world. Exceptions just prove the rules: Gaddafi will remain in power, but this is no longer the Libya that once belonged to him. The aforementioned Steven Mann said in 2008 that Belarus was the only country where he failed to achieve his goals. But Washington is still full of hope.
There is also a must listen on the Dave Emory show #735 "The Bay of Pigs Meets the October Surprise: Lee Harvey Obama and the Piggy-Back Coup in the Middle East: http://wfmu.org/playlists/DX .
Go to http://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ ... ddle-east/ .
There are many articles there. On the show, Dave contends that the Tunisian and Egyptian uprising are a continuation of covert policies and actions orchestrated from the time before Bush's administration, and then carried forward into Obama's.
Introduction: A complex program, inextricably linked with preceding and succeeding broadcasts, this show mandates a use and understanding of, the archived material on this website. The title expresses the working hypothesis that the uprisings sweeping the Middle East are the product of a complex covert operation undertaken during the second Bush administration and continued under Obama.
It is not clear whether Obama fully understands what is going on. He may very well be a victim of what John Loftus expressed in FTR #706, in which he analyzed the Obama administration as the last victim of World War II deliberately undermined by the GOP/multinational corporate faction of the CIA and State Department.
Citing Obama’s presence in a Chicago political environment that heavily overlapped the milieu targeted by the Operation Green Quest raids of 3/20/2002, the program highlights Karl Rove’s presence in that concatenation. [Rove has had a significant presence in Sweden for the last decade or so, acting as an adviser to the Prime Minister of Sweden.]...
... The term “Piggy-Back Coup” refers to the direct influence of the successful Tunisian uprising on the Egyptian revolt, as well as to the supposition that the genuinely democratic nature of the initial events will, ultimately, pave the way for the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic fascist organization allied with the Axis in World War II.
Deeply connected to Karl Rove, GOP kingpin Grover Norquist and the Bush family milieu, the Brotherhood is viewed with favor by the transnational corporate community because of its corporate philosophy. The program advances the theory that a Brotherhood ascension to power is what is being sought by the elements manipulating “Lee Harvey Obama” and the Piggy-Back Coup.
In addition to implementing “corporatism” in the Muslim and Third Worlds, the Brotherhood’s ascent and triumph will, if realized, result in the annihilation of Israel, the ruin of United States and the establishment of dominion by the Underground Reich.One should not fail to note that the turmoil in the Middle East stemming from the uprisngs is boosting the price of oil, which will go through the roof if the scenario proposed above comes to pass.
The references to the Bay of Pigs and the October Surprise in the title connote information presented in The Guns of November, Part I and AFA #38. (Both shows are linked at the top of this page, as well.) The reality of both the Bay of Pigs and the October Surprise differ fundamentally from the conventional view of both events.
In The Guns of November, Part I, we examined Col. L. Fletcher Prouty’s relating of the deliberate sabotaging of the Bay of Pigs invasion by CIA elements involved in the operation. (The motivation for so doing is a matter of speculation perhaps they were trying to force Kennedy to openly invade Cuba.) Through WikiLeaks disclosures (aided by Rove and/or the Bush faction of State?) it is on the public record that the U.S. was aiding the Egyptian uprising and that the assistance began when Bush was in office. As a result, the cover of the operation was blown.
The October Surprise refers to what has been reported to be a deal between the Khomeini forces in Iran and the Reagan/Bush campaign to withhold the hostages taken from the U.S. embassy until after Jimmy Carter’s political humiliation and resulting defeat were assured. Fara Mansoor’s analysis has disclosed that, in fact, the ascension of the Khomeini forces in Iran was the outgrowth of a covert operation undertaken in the mid70’s, much of it during the tenure of George H.W. Bush at the C.I.A.
Having learned that the Shah had cancer in the early ’70’s, the Bush CIA undertook to place the mullahs in power in Iran, in order to assure that the Soviet southern flank would be covered by dogmatic anti-Communists. It is worth noting that, initially, the forces that overthrew the Shah comprised an amalgam of different, populist elements. Eventually, the Khomeini forces consolidated their power and eclipsed their political rivals. Will something similar happen in Egypt? (Note that the Khomeini forces were an outgrowth of the Devotees of Islam, a Shiite offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood!)
Program Highlights Include: attacks on Tunisian and Egyptian government websites by the Anonymous hacker milieu; the State Department’s revised and “pragmatically optimistic” reassessment of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood; the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s call for the development of nuclear weapons; sympathy for the Islamists at American University in Cairo (attended by April 6 movement member Wael Ghonim of Google); Google’s relationship with the intelligence community; ideological affiliation between elements at Amercan University in Cairo and Muslim Brotherhood economic guru Ibn Khadun; links between the “Khaldunite” elements at American University and the Muslim Brotherhood; contacts with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood at the U.S. Embassy in Egypt in 2005; participation in the overthrow of Mubarak by the Muslim Brotherhood; the role in the Middle East uprisings of the rise in food and commodity prices; the probable role of the U.S. Institute of Peace in the Piggy-Back Coup; the role in the Piggy-Back Coup of the Muslim Brotherhood dominated Al-Jazeera network.
Dave Emory speaking:
The BO's political milieu in Chicago is inextricably linked to the Chicago political machine that was hooked up with the Daley interests; and also Governor Blagoyavitch, but also that many of the elements that were inextricably linked with BO's rise as a political creature in the Chicago area were inextricably linked with Karl Rove and Tilat Atzmon (?) and other people involved with the creation of the mileu that came to the surface in the Operation Green quest raids of Mar. 20th, 2002. I speculated at that time about the possibility of Obama being maneuvered in such as way so as to take the fall for a major Islamist terrorist incident that could destroy him and the major democrats politically by extension...
... Obama is being maneuvered at this point as a vehicle in helping to further this covert operation...
... US Institute For Peace under whose auspices the Muslim World Initiative was undertaken during ther Bush administration obstensibly aimed, or sincerely aimed, at rebooting America's realtionship with the Muslim world. It incorporated various elements that were represented as moderate Islamist, but were in fact Muslim Brotherhood elements that were anything but moderate...
... I strongly suspect that the maneuvering of BO into place was in part to pave the way for this Muslim world initative. I think the implications of this go beyond the United States. I think elements of the west very much want to see the Muslim Brotherhood as something of proxy warriers on the Earth's Island to help weaken Russia and China and in particular to gain control ultimately of some of the petroleum producing areas of Russia.
I suspect too that ultimately the underground reich is gonna be utilizing the Muslim brotherhood as Islamist warriers, as proxy warriers in their long term vision to finish off the US, finish off democracy, finish off Israel and finish off the jews.
Yeah right! That last part surprised me. Oddly enough, also fitting into this modus operandi, is the probable interaction of the Mossad as described on Aangirfan http://aangirfan.blogspot.com virtually everyday. I could mention some more but that's a start. A list of the usual suspects (Wisner, El Bareida, etc) mediating these uprisings throughout the region has already been mentioned here.
Dave highlights Rove's role in the Wiki revelations, Al Jazeera and Google's Wael Ghonim's role in this affair. I mentioned Ghonim's powerful interview myself in the Egyptian thread. It was propaganda beautifully orchestrated by the CIA. It's easy to see how hyper mockingbird media can shape events. And now that we're all connected, it'll be easier still! (Unless people can be made aware.) Personallly, I think this technique of crowd manipulation is being tested in Wisconsin and Ohio as well. But, that's another story.
