Enough of CIA’s ‘Enough Project’ in Africa! [Avaaz, International Crisis Group, Center for American Progress]

"EP (Enough Project ), as it is known, was founded by senior U.S. Intel “spook” Gayle Smith, former Senior Director of the National Security Council under President Obama and now head of the USAID/CIA. Today EP is headed by Ms. Smith’s protégé John Prendergast whose history as head of EP is one of subterfuge and lies in service to Pax Americana."

Rainbow Sparkle Ponies

"Illiteracy obscures the fact that over-the-rainbow puffery (like the exaggerations exhorted by the financial elite at COP21) is doomed to come crashing to earth–like all pyramid schemes do; immaturity allows the gullible to be hoodwinked into believing that somehow this time it will turn out differently."

Avaaz: Manufacturing Consent for Wars Since 2011

"Because John, Mais, Nick, Alice, Rewan, Wissam, Ricken and the rest… are really not our friends. They are humanitarian hawks, who are in the business of manufacturing consent for every Nato “intervention”. Indeed, I would like to ask John, Mais, Nick, Alice, Rewan, Wissam, Ricken and the rest, in good faith, just how do you sleep at night?"

The New Economy

"Presaging the new economy of progressive fascists like 350’s Naomi Klein, CERES’ Mindy Lubber and Avaaz’ Ricken Patel, was the Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), that emerged in 2004, and the affiliated Campaign for America’s Future (CAF). It was a horrifying development, leading to the appointment of Reaganite U.S. Senator Barack Obama, as keynote speaker at the 2006 Democratic National Convention."

Welcome to the Brave New World – Brought to You by Avaaz

"Perriello no doubt believes in the myth of American exceptionalism. His patriotic views are reinforced by like-minded individuals from the Bush administration, the Obama administration, and the scores of organizations who "understand" the "need" to expand America's "democracy" and "economic prosperity" around the globe. And while these myths are pushed forward by Imperialist administrations, the non-profit industrial complex and corporate media, civil rights in America – and now Syria – are being stripped away faster than you can say fascism."

On the Eve of an Illegal Attack on Syria, Avaaz/350.org Board Members Beat the Drums of War

Today, "The Axis of Evil" psyops (still drilled into the Euro-American psych) has been coupled, if not superseded, with the manufacturing of fear. Add to this orchestrated fear, the "Humanitarian Intervention" and "Responsibility to Protect" doctrines. The crème de le crème of imperial rhetoric. Such doctrines, created by American "think-tanks", for the elite, by the elite, are of critical use for a declining and morally bankrupt empire. An empire that brilliantly attempts to convince and portray, utilizing the language within these doctrines, that the atrocities they manufacture, call for, and carry out, are somehow honourable and admirable – as opposed to what they actually are – crimes against humanity. Orwell would have called this psychopathic persistence, a stunning feat in doublespeak.
