The recent protests in Ukraine have the stench of a foreign-orchestrated attempt to destabilize the government of Viktor Yanukovych after he walked away from signing an EU Association Agreement that would have driven a deep wedge between Russia and Ukraine. The US is strongly pushing the Ukraine EU integration just as it had been behind the 2004 failed Orange Revolution to split Ukraine from Russia in a bid to isolate and weaken Russia. Now Ukrainians have found evidence of direct involvement of the Belgrade US-financed training group, CANVAS behind the carefully-orchestrated Kiev protests. Pamphlets that was given out to opposition protestors in Kiev are word-for-word and picture-for-picture translations of the pamphlet used by US-financed Canvas organizers in the 2011 Cairo Tahrir Square protests that toppled Hosni Mubarak and opened the door to the US-backed Muslim Brotherhood. Canvas, formerly Otpor, received significant money from the US State Department in 2000 to stage the first successful Color Revolution against Slobodan Milosovic in then-Yugoslavia. Since then they have been transformed into a full-time revolution consultancy for the US, posing as a Serbian grass-root group backing democracy. Who would ever think a Serbian-based NGO would be a front for US-backed regime change? Lesser known, an exclusive Occupy investigation reveals that Srdja Popovic and the Otpor! offshoot CANVAS (Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies) have also maintained close ties with a Goldman Sachs executive and the private intelligence firm Stratfor (Strategic Forecasting, Inc.), as well as the U.S. government. Popovics wife also worked at Stratfor for a year. Serbias Srdja Popovic is known by many as a leading architect of regime changes in Eastern Europe and elsewhere since the late-1990s, and as one of the co-founders of Otpor!, the U.S.-funded Serbian activist group which overthrew Slobodan Milošević in 2000. These revelations come in the aftermath of thousands of new emails released by Wikileaks Global Intelligence Files. wikileaks.org/the-gifiles.html Using his celebrated activist status, Popovic opened many doors for Stratfor to meet with activists globally. In turn, the information Stratfor intended to gain from Popovics contacts would serve as actionable intelligence—the firm billed itself as a Shadow CIA—for its corporate clients. democracynow.org/2012/2/28... Stratfor saw Popovics main value not only as a source for intelligence on global revolutionary and activist movements, but also as someone who, if needed, could help overthrow leaders of countries hostile to U.S. geopolitical and financial interests. One of CANVASs major funders is Muneer Satter, a former Goldman Sachs executive who stepped down from that position in June 2012and now owns Satter Investment Management LLC. Stratfor CEO Shea Morenz worked for ten years at Goldman Sachs as well, where he served as Managing Director in the Investment Management Division and Region Head for Private Wealth Management for the Southwest Region. youtu.be/hhuN-wsOaNE
