PSY-OP? “WORLDWIDE WAVE OF ACTION”. The “Global Spring” Begins
By
Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, March 08, 2014
INTRODUCTION by Hugo Adan
We reproduced the document published by WashingtonsBlog calling for a WORLDWIDE
WAVE OF ACTION in April 4 2014, in http://nd-hugoadan.blogspot.com/2014/03/worldwide-wave-of-action.html based on the following facts:
1- The capture of States by corrupted mafias like the ones in
Wall Street has been denounced worldwide by scholars from the same WB (Joel Hellman & Daniel Kaufmann) since
the beginning of this decade. Social
Movements against such corruption
have been organized secretly in all the US since Sept 2011. Anonymous played an
important role in such endeavor, especially after the Occupy Wall Street
Mov was cracked down and many leaders
were put in jail. In 2012 Anonymous became the most powerful secret org among
the young generation. In 2013, the movement Occupy Wall Street start fading and
some people believe that it was because Facebook and twitter that anonymous
used were coopted by the CIA. Then came info from wikileaks that denounced the full
cooptation of phones, internet and US communication system by big Corp collaborating with NSA and State apparatuses. Even
though, there were people like Manning, Assange and Snowden that manage to
unveil such fascistic surveillance.
Anonymous manage to survive deeply inside the nation.
2- The capture of social movements worldwide by the owners of
the neo-liberal agenda start in 1993 with the publication of the pamphlet “From Dictatorship
to Democracy” published in Bangkok, by Gene Sharp. The CIA considered that this
is exactly the kind of methodology needed to subvert the civilian population in
the ex-USSR. The pamphlet provided the
guidelines for the pacific, non violent phase of the Regime Change, while at
the same time the military assault on power was build up. They started the experiment in Indonesia (it
is said that about 100,000 were killed in one night in all Indonesia) and Serbia (ex-socialist Federation of Yugoslavia, the amount of people killed in
this regime change is unknown ). In 2003 given the success of the pamphlet, it
was refined as a book, this is the one that inspired color revolutions since the beginning of this
century against ex-socialist regimens.
Given the success of Anonymous in America (is secrecy) whose principles are totally different from the aims of the above pamphlet, the mask of this organization was adopted to
disguise the paramilitary mercenaries supporting regime change in Europe. This is the case mentioned by
Chossudovky below. In America “anonymous” is the
type of organization still used by the civilian population in their fight
against neoliberal agenda.
3- Anonymous is still active in NY and San Francisco.
“OSF , Occupy San Fco, is part of
the Occupy Wall Street movement that began In New York City on
September 17, 2011 and is one of several
‘Occupy’ groups in the United States. At world level Anonymous adopted
different objectives and methods. Other
local groups around San Francisco include Occupy Oakland, Occupy Santa Rosa and
Occupy Santa Cruz”. http://occupysf.org/archive/1124-2
4- In the Declaration
of principles for occupying NY City we can read all the missing point criticized by Prof Chossudovsky to the Mov Anonymous. It is widely assumed
that this document was written by the “anonymous” people:
DECLARATION
OF OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK CITY Sept 29, 2011
As we
gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must
not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who
feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your
allies.
As one
people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race
requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights,
and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect
their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government
derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to
extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is
attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at
a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over
justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably
assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
- They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
- They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
- They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
- They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
- They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.
- They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
- They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
- They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
- They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
- They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
- They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
- They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
- They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
- They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
- They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
- They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
- They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.
- They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
- They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
- They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
- They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.
- They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
- They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*
To the
people of the world,
We, the
New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge
you to assert your power.
Exercise
your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to
address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.
To all
communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy,
we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.
Join us
and make your voices heard!
–as
accepted by the New York City General Assembly September 29, 2011
5. In March 2013 the Mov occupy San Fco published
this document:
The weekend before Christmas 2012, Partnership for
Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) received a response from the FBI to a FOIA reguest it
had filed. The document showed “that the FBI and the Department of Homeland
Security are treating protests against the corporate and banking structure of
America as potential criminal and terrorist activity” according to Mara
Verheyden-Hilliard, Executive Director of PCJF who went on to say “These
documents also show these federal agencies functioning as a de facto
intelligence arm of Wall Street and Corporate America.”
On February
3rd during the Super Bowl, the United States Federal Reserve was hacked and
Anonymous claimed to have published personal info on over 4,000 bank
executives. The data was allegedly left “on a misconfigured server (*in Tel
Aviv*) and basically open for grabs” the hacking crew Par:AnoIA claimed on it’s
website. The Federal Reserve stated that a third-party service was the source
of the vulnerability.
On
February 27th, “a total of 14GB of data, code and software related to Bank of
America, Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, TEKSystems and ClearForest” had been
released and days later reports of embedded malware and trojans began to
surface. The dump included emails between Bank of America and the company
contracted to spy on Anonymous and Occupy activists, Bank of America source
code and “a full version of ClearForest’s text analyzing software OneCalais,”
used to spy on the activist groups.
Reminiscent
of when HBGeary boasted of it’s ability to oust Anonymous, the loose-knit
collective reacted by releasing embarrassing information and launching an
online campaign known as Operation Wall Street or #OpWallSt; as follows:
6. In March 2013 “Anonymous was behind the
following democratic declaration:
Operation Wall Street : Proposal and Declaration
This
is a call to all Anonymous “members” and citizens of the world.
It is obvious that the DoJ and other government
entities such as the SEC think that it is more important for them to regulate
freedom of speech and information rather than to regulate the blatant organized
crimes of the financial market. They persecute people like us, Occupy, and
Arron Swartz instead of the Bankers and Wall Street executives and CEOs who
have robbed Americans of their hard earned tax dollars.
They hand
out billions upon billions of dollars to people who in no way need it yet our
conditions for the poor, or even the middle class, have been continually
diminishing. The middle class is now almost non existent thanks to the crimes
of Goldman Sachs and other firms who have indulged in sinister and criminal
practices.
Thousands
of innocent and exploited people are being forced into homelessness while these
same CEOs and executives make billions in so called profit. They make their
fortunes on the shattered lives and broken dreams of people who were nothing
more than slightly ignorant when trying to establish a comfortable life for
themselves and their family.
It is no
longer tolerable that these men and women get to live in luxury and lawlessness
while innocent people are pushed into poverty and people who fight for freedom
are prosecuted and demonized.
They
demonize Occupy, they demonize Anonymous, they demonized Arron Swartz, they
demonized Julian Assange and Bradley Manning. They demonize the very people
they force onto the street by calling them incompetent and lazy while calling
themselves successful.
They must
be stopped. With the recent pathetic assault on Anonymous’ methods by the Bank
of America, with the growing despondence of the public. OPERATION WALL STREET,
must be launched.
Although
the attack on the NYSE was coordinated and acted on, more must be done now! It
should be the duty of any Anonymous, any hacker, in solidarity with Occupy, to
release the Dox on the CEOs & any and all Executives of Goldman Sachs, AIG,
Wells Fargo, Chase, Meryl Lynch, and any other guilty party. Their dox, any and
all possible personal information on these people, must be released and made
public and spread across the internet as much as possible. The people who have
lost their homes and had their lives destroyed deserve to know who it was that
did it.
We can no
longer let these disgraceful human beings live in luxury and escape the
consequences of their actions. People are angry and rightfully so. We are stuck
more and more in a state which we can not get out of and which is not our
fault. The guilty must pay. OPERATION WALL STREET HAS BEEN PROPOSED, LAID OUT,
AND LAUNCHED. We promise not to hurt you once we release your information but
we cannot hold the people you screwed over responsible for their actions once
they know who you are and where you live. You are not free to escape the
consequences of your actions, no one is.
We
are Anonymous, We are Legion, We do not Forgive, We do not Forget.
Expect
Us.

PROPAGANDA
PSY-OP? “WORLDWIDE WAVE OF ACTION”. The “Global Spring” Begins
By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, March 08, 2014 http://www.globalresearch.ca/propaganda-psy-op-worldwide-wave-of-action-the-global-springbegins/5372295
[All that comes in red brackets is my reaction]
“What do you think, Powerful or Impotent? Genius or Idiocy? Productive or Counterproductive?” asks Washington’s Blog.
The videos use powerful and emotional quotes, yet they fail to acknowledge the dramatic economic, social and geopolitical realities affecting humanity.
“Move out and do it”. But in relation to what?
Does the Wave of Action have an Action Program?
[It seems to be that Prof Chossudovky didn’t know much about Anonymous in the US]
Beautiful slogans:
Can you hear me, wherever you are,
We are coming into a new World
The Glorious Future
The solar planet has been given wings
On April 4th a Global Spring begins.
Moment of Clarity
Our Time has Come
Begin to Form Affinity Groups and Then Do It.
Evolve society
Let’s make transforming the world the cool
thing to do.
Let’s create a culture of transformation.”
The Manipulation of the Protest Movement
The World is indeed at a dangerous Crossroads: At the height of a Worldwide crisis characterized by the collapse of social programs, IMF engineered global poverty and US led wars, Washington is now supporting Al Qaeda “freedom fighters” and a Neo-Nazi government in Ukraine.
Beyond the rhetoric, the music and the video-montage, none of these issues is addressed.
This Wave of Action fails to provide an understanding of global capitalism.
The word “war” or “anti-war” are not mentioned, nor is the word “austerity”.
This initiative has all the appearances of a Psy Op., a carefully staged propaganda campaign to create confusion and channel people into manipulated protest movements.
[Confusion? Prof M-Ch is the only one confused, no Americans. Manipulation? Prof M-Ch try to manipulated people to inactivity]
What is the functioning of the corrupt structures of global capitalism?
What “revolutionary changes” are required to dismantle the underlying power structures?
[Any revolutionary change requires ACTION]
The answers:
“We are a leaderless movement. We do our own thing. We want a new paradigm”.
But that paradigm is not clearly identified nor is it coupled with concrete proposals.
Powerful messages in the videos by Martin Luther King and Charlie Chaplin are casually distorted, manipulated and quoted out of context.
More slogans:
“The decentralized movement toward freedom is
raging across the world. It cannot be stopped.
Let’s blaze a contagious nonviolent wave of
action through mass consciousness, signaling the end of the old world, ushering
in a new paradigm.
Let’s pick a three-month span, perhaps
throughout this coming spring, and unite our collective actions into an
unprecedented Worldwide Wave that cannot be ignored by anyone.
If we begin preparing now, a massive spring
offensive can lead to a summer of transformation.”
“Cool Thing to Do”
Economic and social realities are obfuscated. The nature of the New World Order, the underlying economic system and its oppressive police state apparatus are carefully omitted from the videos.
Transforming the world is “the cool thing to do”, according to the “Global Spring” initiative, as long as it does not threaten the corporate elites which in all likelihood are funding this Worldwide awakening.
[Anonymous in America did target corporate elite, so it cannot be funded by them. Prof. just lead the battalion of students that follow you, make your poster or a pancarta if you are alone, and get out on april 4 to the main square. All that you said so far is a call for inaction in the name of missing rhetorical points. That is not the way of confronting those who captured of mass mov (the corporate-power’s apparatuses). Inaction is just what they wanted]
The names of the major actors on Wall Street, the White House and the Pentagon are not mentioned. [you mention it in your poster in April 4 !]
The US led wars on Syria, Libya, Mali, the Central African Republic, the US-NATO-EU led Coup d’etat in Ukraine are not mentioned. [you mention it in your poster in April 4 !]
Wall Street is mentioned but the nature of financial fraud and stock market manipulation is not addressed. [you address it! show that you can make a short message]
Ritual of dissent? This new thrust of “Manufactured Dissent” uses catch phrases, revolutionary symbols and narrative, but fails to identify who is the target of the revolutionary movement. [you mention it in you poster or pancarta if nobody follow your bla-bla! ]
Who is Anonymous?
Anonymous is launching the “Global Spring” initiative. Who is Anonymous?
Anonymous symbols were visible in the Neo-Nazi protest movement in Ukraine, which serves US-NATO interests. [I saw it in Occupy Wall Street and in anti-fascist movements in streets of the US at the end of 2011and in 2012, but not now. They don’t use the mask]
Anonymous has supported the violent riots against the elected president of Ukraine (see video below) [It only means that the prestige of this Mov in the US was used by mercenaries that captured the social Mov against Oligarchy’s corruption in Ukraine]
Prior to its activities in the
Ukraine protest movement, “Anonymous”
waged cyber-attacks on Iran and Syria. The latter conducted in 2011
directed against the Syrian government, were waged in support of Syria’s
“opposition” (in exile) which is also integrated by Al Qaeda affiliated
terrorists. (See Syrian
Ministry Of Defense Website Hacked By ‘Anonymous’, Huffington Post, August
8, 2011). Since then the atrocities committed by opposition rebels against
civilians has been amply documented.
[All that you saying is that the Anonymous mask
can be used by rightist organizations intended to capture a social Mov. Anonymous
mask is simple hood there, it has nothing to do with the meaning it has here. Your
critique to this Mov in the US does make sense at all. Here in the US the mask
is not being used anymore, unless is a huge movement]
The actions of “Anonymous” in Syria
and Iran are consistent with the framework of the “Colored Revolutions”, which seeks
to demonize the political regime and create economic and social instability.
Subsequent actions led against Syria
by Anonymous (2012) were coordinated with those of the US and its allies, with
a view to closing down Syria’s communications network including the internet
and telephone. [So,
CIA plotters are behind the anonymous mov there, not here?]
A Global Awakening Wave has
allegedly been launched by Anonymous. Anonymous has
ties to the Adbusters Media
Foundation which in turn is funded by the Tides Foundation.
[According to Wikipedia The Adbusters
Media Foundation is a Canadian-based not-for-profit,
anti-consumerist,
pro-environment[1]
organization founded by Kalle Lasn and Bill Schmalz in Vancouver,
British Columbia. Adbusters describes itself as "a global network of
artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs
who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age. I haven’t seen any direct
connection bertween Adbusters with the CIA nor with Anonymous.
Instead I found the article “ Bankrupt the CIA: Boycott Heroin” Posted By
stuartbramhall and popularized by the Vancouver-based Adbusters Magazine and
Adbusters Media Foundation(https://www.adbusters.org/
.See also: http://stuartbramhall.aegauthorblogs.com/2010/10/10/bankrupt-the-cia-boycott-heroin/
In Feb 09, 2014 Prof Michel Chossudovsky
confessed his ignorance on Occupy Wall Street (OWS) I’m not encouraged
by the way this Occupy Wall Street movement is proceeding, because it was initiated by a couple of organizations: Adbusters [here??] , which is a magazine in Vancouver, and the other one
was Anonymous, a social media activist
website, which does not reveal its identity in any way.
I
think the problem is that these promoters of the Occupy Wall Street movement
have been actively planning a whole network of activities across America with
social media, websites, and so on, for several months. In fact, the Occupy Wall
Street website was launched back in, I think, in July [2011]. We don’t know who these people are. When we
go to their websites, there’s no contact information. We don’t know who the
leaders are. These are shadow leaders. http://www.globalresearch.ca/occupy-wall-street-ows-and-the-arab-spring-whos-funding-the-protest-movement-whos-behind-it/5368043?print=1
]
The Awakening Wave
Excerpts below from EvolveSociety.org
(many of the concepts below are
contained in the videoclips)
“This new
Anonymous call to action was originally
posted to our social network in binary
code and is quickly spreading around the internet. We are featuring it here
to show our support for the proposed campaign.
The
decentralized movement toward freedom is raging across the world. It
cannot be stopped.
Radical
change is urgently needed, so let’s make transforming the world the cool thing
to do. Let’s create a culture of transformation. Let’s blaze a contagious
nonviolent wave of action through mass consciousness, signaling the end of the
old world, ushering in a new paradigm.
The Awakening Wave
The last
time we all rallied together in a loosely knit collective fashion, the Occupy
movement was born and the 99% meme brought the corruption of our political and
economic system, along with the grotesque inequality of wealth, into mass
consciousness in a profound and lasting way. It was the opening act, the
awakening wave.
Since
the Occupy camps were crushed by brutal police state force, the movement has
splintered in many different directions.
It’s
Time For A Worldwide Wave of Transformation
Let’s pick a three-month span,
perhaps throughout this coming spring, and unite our collective actions into an
unprecedented Worldwide Wave that cannot be ignored by anyone.
Let’s crowd source a relentless
global wave of action that protests the corrupt, while also rallying around and
celebrating effective alternatives and solutions to the vast problems we are
confronted by. Imagine thousands of nonviolent guerrilla armies swarming
corrupt targets and rallying for viable solutions for a sustained three-month cycle.
If we begin preparing now, a massive spring offensive can lead to a summer of
transformation.
Staying true to the vital nature of
the movement, you lead, in your own way. Pick whatever issues concern you most
and run with them, knowing that likeminded people throughout the world will
also be fighting in solidarity, in whatever way they can, at the same time you
are.
Not Focused Enough?
In an attempt to dismiss and
undermine us, status quo propagandists will once again criticize us by saying
that our message of systemic change is not focused enough or lacks coherent
goals. This feeble attempt to keep people from joining in with us will be
overcome by our widespread and consistent actions, which will lead by example
and inspire the cultural shift in mass consciousness that we urgently need. Our
diverse crowd sourced actions will boldly demonstrate our will to expose, fight
and overcome tyrannical systems. By rallying around viable solutions and
protesting what we are against, the goals and freedoms that we aspire to will
organically become self-evident to all.
Throughout history, when people
have fought against tyranny and oppression, they didn’t have one perfect
utopian model outcome agreed upon beforehand. They just knew that the invading
and old systems were detrimental to their wellbeing and had to go. We are now
in that position.
Don’t let the propagandists fool
you. We do not need corrupt corporations or aristocratic government rulers
anymore. They are obsolete. People throughout this interconnected technological
world have already come up with much more effective systems to replace the
tyrannical one that is currently dominating our lives. There are already many
effective solutions to our problems, solutions that are held back by the
entrenched forces of shortsighted greed. Once a small percentage of us withdraw
our participation from corrupt entities and opt out of tyranny, the old and
obsolete systems of rule will quickly fall away.
Extensive empirical evidence
demonstrates that nonviolent movements toward freedom result in positive
outcomes. Research has proven that it only takes approximately 3% of the
population engaging in various forms of nonviolent action to create significant
meaningful change, for the betterment of society. We now have the necessary
critical mass of aware people who are ready, willing and capable.
Guerrilla Tactics
This time the police state will not
be able to crush us. We will not have stationary targets. We will be
everywhere, fluid and evasive. The movement will be an unstoppable
crowdsourced, decentralized and autonomous revolutionary force.
We will engage in a diversity of
nonviolent tactics, from large-scale mobilizations to small daily acts. Most of
you already know the actions and tactics that are needed. Without revealing too
much strategic information, here are a few basic actions to get a fire going in
your mind:
> Mass gatherings,
demonstrations;
> Marches, parades;
> Flash mobs, swarms;
> Shutdown harmful corporate and governmental operations;
> Worker Strikes;
> Hunger strikes;
> Sit-ins;
> Strategic defaults, debt strikes;
> Foreclosure prevention;
> Boycotting corrupt corporations;
> Move your money out of the big banks and the stock market;
> Use alternative currencies and economic systems;
> Cancel your cable television and support independent media;
> Use independent online tools that don’t sell your info and protect your privacy;
> Online civil disobedience, Anonymous operations;
> Leak information on corruption;
> Use alternative energy;
> Build your own urban and hydroponic farms, or get your food from them;
> Support local businesses;
> Join local community organizations;
> Take part in food banks and help develop community support systems;
> Start or join intentional and autonomous communities;
> Experiment with new governing systems, Liquid Democracy;
> Host teach-ins;
> Organize socially conscious events;
> Make conscious media;
> Guerrilla postering, messages on money;
> Help inspiring groups and organizations spread their message;
> Random acts of kindness and compassion;
> Mass meditations, prayer sessions and spiritual actions.

The list goes on and on. You know
what you can do to play a part. Do whatever you feel inspired to do.
Radical change is urgently
needed, so let’s make transforming the world the cool thing to do. Let’s create
a culture of transformation. Let’s blaze a contagious nonviolent wave of action
through mass consciousness, signaling the end of the old world, ushering in a
new paradigm.
Now is the time.
Ride the Worldwide Wave of
Transformation
Tweak this meme! This is a draft
call to action, a work in progress. Feel free to make changes to it and spread
it around however you see fit.”
This call to action does not
identify the nature of the crisis, nor does it mention the names of the main
architects of this Global New World order.
The motto is do your own thing. Its a
“leaderless” spontaneous movement.
We are familiar with the logic of “colored revolutions”
whereby the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and various Wall Street
foundations generously fund NGOs with a view to toppling the governments of
sovereign countries.
While the logic of this self-proclaimed Worldwide Wave of Transformation is different, it is geared towards manipulating people while also weakening
meaningful forms of grassroots activism and organized dissent.
These videos are intended to create confusion.
Our thanks to Washington Blog for having brought the above videos to our attention
