Line 314: − − ====Serbian color revolution==== − :{{See also|Color revolution}} − In the year 2000 the [[US State Department]], aided by its National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and select [[CIA]] operatives, began secretly training a group of Belgrade university students led by a student group that was called Otpor! (Resistance!). The NED and its various offshoots got their money from the US Congress and from [[USAID]]. − − In the Serb Otpor! destabilization of 2000, the NED and US Ambassador Richard Miles in Belgrade selected and trained a group of several dozen students, led by Srđa Popović, using the handbook, ''From Dictatorship to Democracy'', translated to Serbian, of the late [[Gene Sharp]] and his Albert Einstein Institution. In a post mortem on the Serb events, the ''[[Washington Post]]'' wrote, “US-funded consultants played a crucial role behind the scenes in virtually every facet of the anti-drive, running tracking polls, training thousands of opposition activists and helping to organize a vitally important parallel vote count. US taxpayers paid for 5,000 cans of spray paint used by student activists to scrawl anti-[[Milošević]] [[graffiti]] on walls across Serbia.” − − Trained squads of activists were deployed in protests to take over city blocks with the aid of ‘intelligence helmet’ video screens that give them an instantaneous overview of their environment. Bands of youth converging on targeted intersections in constant dialogue on [[cell phone]]s, would then overwhelm [[police]]. The US government spent some $41 million on the operation. Student groups were secretly trained in the Sharp handbook techniques of staging protests that mocked the authority of the ruling police, showing them to be clumsy and impotent against the youthful protesters. Professionals from the CIA and US State Department guided them behind the scenes. − − The Color Revolution Otpor! model was refined and deployed in 2004 as the Ukraine Orange Revolution with logo and color theme scarves, and in 2003 in Georgia as the Rose Revolution. Later Secretary of State [[Hillary Clinton]] used the template to launch the [[Arab Spring]]. In all cases the NED was involved with other [[NGO]]s including the [[Soros Foundations]]. − − After defeating Milosevic, Popovic went on to establish a global color revolution training center, CANVAS, a kind of for-profit business consultancy for [[revolution]], and was personally present in [[New York]] working reportedly with [[Antifa]] during the [[Occupy Wall Street]] where also [[Soros]] money was reported.<ref>https://geopolitics.co/2020/06/29/americas-own-color-revolution/</ref>
