Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

She's participating in literal colour revolution.
...
We could send her a book on Color Revolutions. Didn't Zinn write a good one?
Washington Bullets is pretty good.
Great read, very concise and digestible. Big fan of prashad.
Pairs well with the one-two punch of Jakarta Method into If We Burn
Only problem is, the lack of references make it hard to recommend to Libs.
Jakarta Method is great and I've got JM and WB next to each other on my bookshelf. Haven't read If We Burn yet, but Pipeline was decent.
I gave away my copy; isn't it all sourced from western media and the CIA itself? Vaguely remember something about that in the intro
Oh, yeah, but he doesn't list any sources. Says he's got some personal contacts and the rest is freely available or something. For anyone even slightly familiar with what he's talking about, it's unnecessary. But for some lib with their head still up their butt, it's a no go.
Idk, he did?
Sure, but so what. So are lots of other people. Sucks that this was sparked and encouraged by Western NGO's, though.
We aren't stanning many of colour revolution participants here, if you didn't noticed.
Think about exactly what you're saying again? The west is literally trying to Ukrainize Georgia. Participating in a foreign country's electoral processes (foreign interference) to agitate for the country to effectively destroy itself for the US MIC/to maintain western hegemony is an utterly shit move no matter how one looks at it..
Alright, okay, but there's a part of me that wonders why we're focusing on Greta Thunberg. This is in News and not The Dunk Tank.
So, do we think that she's intentionally laundering for the MIC to turn Georiga into another active battleground against Russia or is she just another one of the millions of people who get swept up in these types of things and we only care because she's a celebrity?
If you want my opinion? In this context I'd bet it's the former. This is her gig, her livelihood, she has some (probably) genuine opinions but I doubt this is it, and there are a billion other ways she could have parroted her opinion rather than flying over to Georgia for direct meddling.
