Posted on February 20, 2013 by ajmacdonaldjr

CIA run Fake Peace and Nonviolence NGO Waging Nonviolence Be ADVISED: Waging Nonviolence and virtually all other socalled peace, justice, and nonviolence groups are run by the CIA and State Department via various and sundry NGOs. As with the US government, the opposite of all they say and do is the truth: they are running and supporting the violence in Egypt, Libya, Syria and all other nations unfriendly to US and Israeli geostragegic interests. They lie and do not the truth (see: 1 John 1:6).

For a REAL, grass-roots, non-CIA-run, American Peoples movement for truth, justice, and peace, which is dedicated to making Dr. Kings DREAM a REALITY, see: Summer of Justice - https://www.facebook.com/makethedreamareality Weve finally done it. After about nine months of development, the all-new Waging Nonviolence website went online this week. No longer are we running on the basic blog platform that we hurriedly developed in 2009 when WNV was just a blog that a few of us would update in our spare time. Now, with new content every day from four active columnists, four promising young correspondents and more than 200 contributors all around the world, we finally have the website that you, the members of our community, deserve See: http://wagingnonviolence.org/ Waging Nonviolence Board of Advisors

VIDEO - Egypt After the Revolution See: Facebook and People Power: The View From Tahrir Square Chenoweth at ICNC The Libyan uprising: a successful case of violent insurgency The same non-violence non-profits who take CIA money when they can get it (Im not talking about ICNC, which just shares an accountant, has parallel goals, and whose president used to work there; ICNC has enough junk bond money to operate on its own) also give non-violent communication trainings and are inserting

themselves wherever they can in the OWS movement. In DC, this is particularly worrisome, since the think-tank/lobbying/pro-USG logic is so hegemonic. And Ive received four email invitations this week to attend think tank and right-wing academic seminars on What the Occupy Wall Street Movement Means and Why it Should Matter to Me. Framing is everything. Who gets to speak, what they get to say, whether their whole movement can be invalidated because somebody got justifiably angry and threw a rock. We dont need to be tackling the rock-thrower. People throwing rocks doesnt explain or justify the police violence I saw and felt in Oakland last Tuesday. We need to be tackling the derivative Christian logic of non-violence (but lacking the possibilities of liberation theology) that chastises the oppressed for rising up against the oppressor, using fictitious narratives about Egypts and Eastern European countries revolutions as legitimation. And when people come to town claiming to speak for a revolution and making their way into lefty media with the same bland lies, we need to be asking who is paying for their plane ticket, and why the hell are they not back at home, where their revolution is not in great shape at all. ~ Professor Adrienne Pine American University, Washington, DC Source: Resisting the Cult of Non-Violence The ICNC is the phony left-wing outfit founded by Wall StreetWashington insider Peter Ackerman. The organization is largely concerned with the destabilization scenarios the CIA has a history of engineering in countries it is too costly and militarily unfeasible to invade. These days the ICNC dresses up destabilization with the high-sounding phrase non-violent pro-democracy activism to sell it to the gullible. Sounds good, but what it really means is fomenting conflicts in countries, which while accused of being undemocratic and hostile to human rights, have earned

Washingtons enmity for rejecting free trade and unconditional foreign investment and failing to enshrine private property rights. The conflicts are resolved on Washingtons terms, when a new democratic free-market government takes power and opens the country to US military bases and unconditional integration into the US economy on terms that favor US investors and corporations, that is, the people Peter Ackerman hangs out with. It is, you see, a class thing. ~ Stephen Gowans Source: Moralism and Instrumentalism in Peace Scholarship Video Israel sowing discord in Middle East Press TV Interview with Maidhc Cathail CANVAS works closely with the International Center for Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC), with which it has shared a number of staff membersincluding Dr. Stephen Zunes, who has collaborated with CANVAS in training Egyptian activists. Founded in 2002, the ICNC is funded entirely by Peter Ackerman, its founding chair. Ackerman, who chaired the board of Freedom House from September 2005 until January 2009, also indirectly funds CANVAS.
