Alliance of Youth Movements: Color Revolution 2.0

by Tony Cartalucci

In 2008, the Alliance of Youth Movements held its inaugural summit in New York City. Attending this summit was a combination of State Department staff, Council on Foreign Relations members, former National Security staff, Department of Homeland Security advisers, and a myriad of representatives from American corporations and mass media organizations including AT&T, Google, Facebook, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and MTV.

One might suspect such a meeting of representatives involved in US economic, domestic and foreign policy, along with the shapers of public opinion in the mass media would be convening to talk about America’s future and how to facilitate it. Joining these policy makers, was an army of “grassroots” activists that would “help” this facilitation.

Among them was a then little known group called “April 6″ from Egypt. These Facebook “savvy” Egyptians would later meet US International Crisis Group trustee Mohamed ElBaradei at the Cairo airport in February 2010 and spend the next year campaigning and protesting on his behalf in his bid to overthrow the government of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

The Alliance of Youth Movements mission statement claims it is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping grassroots activists to build their capacity and make a greater impact on the world. While this sounds fairly innocuous at first, even perhaps positive, upon examining those involved in “Movements.org,” a dark agenda is revealed of such nefarious intent it is almost difficult to believe.

Movement.org is officially partnered with the US Department of State and Columbia Law School. Its corporate sponsors include Google, Pepsi, and the Omnicon Group, all listed as members of the globocrat Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). CBS News is a sponsor and listed on the globocrat Chatham House’s corporate membership list. Other sponsors include Facebook, YouTube, Meetup, Howcast, National Geographic, MSNBC, GenNext, and the Edelman public relations firm.

Movement.org’s “team” includes Co-Founder Jared Cohen, a CFR member, Director of Google Ideas, and a former State Department planning staff member under both Condoleezza Rice and Hilary Clinton.

Founding Movements.org with Cohen is Jason Liebman of Howcast Media which works with mega-corporate conglomerates like Proctor & Gamble, Kodak, Staples, Ford, and government agencies such as the US State Department and the US Defense Department, to create “custom branded entertainment, innovative social media, and tardeted rich-media campaigns.” He was also with Google for 4 years where he worked to partner with Time Warner (CFR), News Corporation (FoxNews, CFR) Viacom, Warner Music, Sony Pictures, Reuters, the New York Times, and the Washington Post Company.

Roman Sunder is also credited with co-founding Movements.org. He founded Access 360 Media, a mass advertising company, and he also organized the PTTOW! Summit which brought together 35 top executives from companies like AT&T (CFR), Quicksilver, Activison, Facebook, HP, YouTube, Pepsi (CFR), and the US Government to discuss the future of the “youth industry.” He is also a board member of Gen Next, another non-profit organization focused on “affecting change for the next generation.”

It is hard, considering these men’s affiliations, to believe that the change they want to see is anything less than a generation that drinks more Pepsi, buys more consumerist junk, and believes the United States government every time they purvey their lies to us via their corporate owned media.

Watch The Great Deception 2011

While the activists attending the Movements.org summit adhere to the philosophies of “left-leaning” liberalism, the very men behind the summit, funding it, and prodding the agenda of these activists are America’s mega-corporate combine. These are the very big-businesses that have violated human rights worldwide, destroyed the environment, sell shoddy, overseas manufactured goods produced by workers living in slave conditions, and pursue an agenda of greed and perpetual expansion at any cost. The hypocrisy is astounding unless of course you understand that their nefarious, self-serving agenda could only be accomplished under the guise of genuine concern for humanity, buried under mountains of feel-good rhetoric, and helped along by an army of exploited, naive youth.

What we see is not a foundation from which all activists can work from, but a foundation that has a very selective group of activists working on “problem spots” the US State Department would like to see “changed.” Sudan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Eastern Europe, Venezuela, and even Thailand – where ever protesters and movements are working to undermine governments non-conducive to corporate America’s agenda, you will find Movements.org supporting their efforts.

The April 6 Movement of Egypt is one of them, and their role in the apparent success of the US ousting of Hosni Mubarak that may see their man Mohamed ElBaradei in office is a perfect example of how this new army of prodded youth will be deployed. It is color revolution 2.0, run directly out of the US State Department with the support of corporate America.

It would be strongly recommended that readers go to Movements.org themselves and explore the website, in particular the 3 summits they have held and those that were in attendance. Everyone from the RAND Corporation to the Council on Foreign Relations comes to “prod.” Movements.org truly is a new tentacle for manipulating and UNDERMINING THE SOVEREIGNTY OF FOREIGN NATIONS.

JERUSALEM – The directors of a youth movement helping to lead the anti-government protests rocking Turkey participated in a 2009 U.S. State Department-sponsored training summit on how to use social media to organize societal change, WND has learned.

The keynote speakers at the summit were three architects of the online component of President Obama’s 2008 campaign. The Obama campaign’s use of social media for grassroots community organizing in 2008 was considered a watershed moment in political fundraising and movement building.

The Alliance of Youth Movement’s annual summit in Mexico City took place Oct. 14-16, 2009.

Participating in the event were the leaders of the Genç Siviller, or Young Civilians, a youth movement in Turkey that has been using Twitter and Facebook to help organize the protests in that country.

The Young Civilians’ Twitter account called for youth to “occupy” Gezi Park to protest pending government plans to turn the park into a complex with a new mosque and shopping center. The park protests last Friday quickly grew into the largest and most violent anti-government protests that Turkey has seen in years.

Young Civilians members have been arrested at various protests.

On Tuesday, the group posted an open letter on its Facebook page to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan lamenting the park plans and noting that movements for reform have sparked protests throughout the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia.

Also on Tuesday, Erdogan blasted the use of social media, including Twitter, in fomenting the unrest sweeping his nation.

“There is now a menace which is called Twitter,” Erdogan said, addressing the protests. “The best examples of lies can be found there. To me, social media is the worst menace to society.”

Young Civilians was founded in Turkey in 2006 with the stated aim of establishing a “liberal democracy in Turkey based on civil rights, rule of law, tolerance and justice.”

WND found that the leaders of the group, Ceren Kenar and Turgay Ogar, participated in the Alliance of Youth Movement’s 2009 summit.

The summit was sponsored by the State Department in conjunction with Facebook, YouTube, Hi5, Google, MySpace, Gen Next, Howcast Media, MTV, PepsiCo, Mobile Behavior, Univisión, Interactive Media Inc., WordPress.com and others.

The conference opened with a two-minute video address by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who praised the use of social media to organize, “build movements and change lives.”

Clinton hailed “the vanguard of a rising generation of citizen activists.”

Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero and U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual also opened the summit.

The keynote speakers were three directors of Obama’s online campaign in 2008: Joe Rospars, the campaign’s director for new media; Scott Goodstein, external online director of Obama for America; and Sam Graham-Felson, director of blogging and blog outreach for the campaign.

According to a State Department description of the event, participants were slated to discuss a variety of practical topics, including “politics, resisting violence, and technology; sustainability and long-term planning; and the use of viral video in social movements.”

The summit sought to explore ways to “advance grassroots movements seeking positive social change through 21st century technology and tools,” according to an official description.

Seminars were given on the use of social media to push for change and to launch a global network to empower young people mobilizing against violence and oppression.

The summit one year earlier led to the creation of Movements.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying, connecting and supporting digital activists.

Founders of Movements.org include Google director Jared Cohen, a former adviser to both Clinton and Condoleezza Rice; and Jason Liebman, CEO and co-founder of Howcast, the How-to website.

Movements.org is intended to serve as a hub for discussion, resources and news about digital activism around the world.
