The Lebanese 'Orange Revolution'

Juan Cole puts the Lebanese 'Orange Revolution' into perspective:

". . . Al-Jazeerah is reporting that the Lebanese Opposition is now calling for the big demonstrations at Martyrs' Square to continue until all Syrian troops leave Lebanese soil.

You wonder what would happen if the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza tried the same thing re: Ariel Sharon's military occupation that they face. They'd be crushed by the jackboot (with convenient allegations that they were a front for terrorism)."

The neocons have got a good thing going with the Ukrainian model of taking over countries by using manipulated calls for 'democracy' and 'freedom'. After all, who is going to argue with the establishment of democracy? Liberals have exactly the same intellectual problem with this form of propaganda as they have with radical religious fruitcakes hiding behind the concept of liberal tolerance in order to preach their anti-liberal hatred. The entire 'Orange' ruse is staged as a massive PR campaign, using both local and international mass media to create the illusion that all the people are united in a bottom-up plea for freedom. Of course, it is all an illusion. The removal of Syrian troops will just leave Lebanon open to occupation by Israeli troops, hardly an improvement for most of the population.

The complexity and sophistication of the campaign requires a considerable amount of planning by international PR experts. We are supposed to believe the call for removal of Syrian troops arose spontaneously on the assassination of Hariri, but the nature of the staged protests and synchronized media campaign proves that the planners knew in advance of the trigger event, the death of Hariri.

excellent analysis.

here's the way it goes.

all these modern ("youth, student") revolutions (Yugoslavia, Ukraine Georgia, Lebanon, and soon to be Tajikistan) are all supported and funded by George Soros and Zbigniew Brzezinski. The Rose, Orange and Velvet Revolutions have already taken place in Ukraine Georgia, and Yugoslavia.

Ukraine - Pora - "It's Time"
Georgia - Kmara - "Open Resistance"
Yugoslavia - Otpor - "Resistance"

and a few day ago i read about the upcoming elections in Kyrgyztan, and how (Soros and co.) are expecting a "Lemon Revolution" codenamed Tulip there.
