7 March 2005: The "people power" weapon, and May '68 vs. Charles de Gaulle

I have just read 'Coup d'Štat in Disguise: Washington's New World Order "Democratization" Template' by Jonathan Mowat, which is posted at: http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MOW502A.html

I think this is vital and important research. The machiavellian facade of 'democratization' is one of the most formidable and sophisticated weapons in the arsenal of informal imperialism. The more effort is put into dissecting this, the better.

One point that I found interesting and pleasantly surprising was Mowat's recognition of a link to the May 1968 riots against France's government, then headed by Charles de Gaulle. This is something that deserves scrutiny, and I have organized some more sources on the topic here: http://www.questionsquestions.net/docs/may68_vs_degaulle.html

There are a tremendous number of threads that one can follow from the topics covered in Mowat's article, some of which I have been focusing on recently. More on this later.

[note the proximity of the Arlington Institute to some of the "postmodern coup" policy theorists mentined by Mowat. I was not previously aware of this, but it immediately made sense to me in light of some other aspects of this organization that I had looked at in a critique of libertarian decentralist Catherine Austin Fitts, in my Feb. 15 entry.]
