All the ‘revolts’ taking place in the world at present have a common thread, a pattern of events that recalls the so-called Arab Spring.
The result of the ‘revolts’ of 2011 was the fall of the governments of Tunisian, Egypt and Libya, and the war in Syria. It was later discovered with absolute certainty that the tool used to galvanise those protests was Facebook, and that the “political cadres” behind them had been trained in what to say and what to do by American intelligence agencies and assets.
Just recently we have seen a new wave of ‘spontaneous revolts’ erupting in Hong Kong, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia and most recently in Lebanon.
With the possible exception of Bolivia, where there may have been a genuine revolt against the drug traffickers of the Morales syndicate, all these revolts are clearly U.S. co-ordinated ‘coloured revolution’ efforts. As well as the not-so-hidden hand of the CIA and its NGO allies, they all have three characteristic elements:
– they evoke the problem of corruption
– they demand LGBTQ “civil rights”
– they call for a shift to technocratic government and, in the case of Chile, for a strongly anti-Catholic change to the Constitution.
In Lebanon where I am right now the situation is very clear.
Former US Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman (a long-term meddler in Lebanese affairs) set out what it is really all about a few weeks ago … Lebanon must immediately change its President and cut off all relations with Hezbollah.
Indeed the Unifil mission must be transformed into a NATO mission and disarm Hezbollah (something requested 10 years ago and a few months ago by Berlusconi and Salvini respectively).
In support of this, an artificial crisis has been created in the financial system with the complicity of the Central Lebanese Bank. Simultaneously, the Lebanese power industry is deliberately cutting electricity supplies to add to the atmosphere of crisis.
A cash withdrawal limit for ATMs of 500 euros adds to concern at street level. At the same time the ban on sending money abroad means that oil suppliers cannot be paid (obviously the U.S. Deep State threatens anyone who considers getting supplies from Syria or Iran) and hence there is now an undefined petrol station strike with dangerous consequences.
President Aoun is trying to manage the crisis by preventing an escalation and keeping the population quiet. He also appears to be working to improve relations with Russia. Hezbollah meanwhile is preparing for the long war of resistance by delivering sacks of wheat seeds to farmers in the south.
While there has not been a single fatality as a direct result of the disturbances so far, the situation could deteriorate rapidly if Sunni groups or Christians close to the US and Israel try to take advantage of the crisis to put the Party of God, and Aoun and his Maronites, in difficulty.
Lebanon is afraid, but it also has strength because the Madonna of Harissa watches over all from the hills.
