Regarding the binary "CIA managed vs. indigenous uprising":

I recall a Rumsfeld speech (which I cannot locate) in which he said something to the effect: 'you cannot control the chaos but you can manage and give it shape.' This is the kind of thinking that would apply to the Arab Spring.

So how might that apply? Riots break out in Syria. You have a long standing goal of cleaning up the old Soviet supported regimes. You activate sleeper operatives or send in some to stir the pot. Make sure that people know that they will be supported. Make sure there are plenty of victims and make sure the narrative is about an evil dictator cruelly abusing a single group seeking justice. Make sure the MSM gets the same story out; eliminate nuances. Etc.

Maggie said that the revolution only leads to death and destruction but she fails to realize that ALL of the revolutions now going on in North Africa and Middle East began as peaceful protests seeking reform, and only turned violent and demanding of regime change AFTER they were violently repressed.

Rumsfeld has been put out to pasture but certainly the CIA, USA as well as Al Qada and Muslem Brotherhood want to control the chaos, but the bottom line is - it is a popular uprising, a democratic revolution that the CIA didn't expect or spark.

Syria especially was a repressive police state where journalists couldn't operate until over a year after the revolution began. You really believe that USA CIA had "Sleeper Cells" in Syria and they responsible? You really think that the "narrative" about the evil dictator is fiction? You don't believe that the Syrian police state cruelly abused children and teenagers who wrote graffiti, which sparked the revolt? The MSM was not even allowed in Syria until the revolt broke the borders.

It isn't the Mainstream message vs. the Police State Propaganda, it is the attempt to determine the truth that should be the goal, and the truth that can't be denied is that Assad is a tyrant, a dictator and a mass murder whose forces tortured children - and you want to check with the CIA and NATO to see whose side they are on so you can be on the other side?
