"As Empire targets Burundi, force multipliers at the helm of the non-profit industrial complex such as Avaaz, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch beat the drums of war. NGOs, perhaps now the most instrumental tools in the West's war chest, are financed by (and in many cases created by) the world's most powerful oligarchs and institutions."

"...the United States and its allies are trying for regime change in Burundi, just as they did in Rwanda. They wanted to get rid of the Habyarimana government, a social democratic government in Rwanda. They don’t like the social democratic government in Burundi and they’re trying to get rid of it."

"In addition, this foreign policy myth has been used to justify foreign military intervention as is the case with the current political crisis in Burundi.

"Global society has been, and continues to be, manipulated to believe that NGOs are representative of 'civil society' which has allowed the 'humanitarian industrial complex' to become missionaries of empire. In this brave new world, NGOs like Avaaz, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch lead civil society in supporting American hegemony through military intervention."
