Social Engineering 101: How to Make a Refugee Crisis
Starting
in 2007, the US was already in the process of engineering the overthrow
and destruction of all prevailing political orders across the Middle
East and North African (MENA) region.

It would be in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh’s 2007 New Yorker article, “The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?” that it was explicitly stated (emphasis added):

To undermine Iran, which is
predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to
reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the
Administration has coöperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is
Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah,
the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also
taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A
by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni
extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile
to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

Hersh would also reveal that at the
time, the US – then under the administration of President George Bush
and through intermediaries including US-ally Saudi Arabia – had already
begun channeling funding and support to the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood
who would in 2011 play a crucial role in the opening phases of the
destructive war now raging across the Levant.

In 2008, from Libya to Syria and beyond,
activists were drawn by the US State Department from across MENA to
learn the finer points of Washington and Wall Street’s “color
revolution” industry. They were being prepared for an unprecedented,
coordinated US-engineered MENA-wide campaign of political
destabilization that would in 2011 be called the “Arab Spring.”

Through the US State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and US State Department’s Movements.org,
agitators were literally flown on several occasions to both New York
and Washington D.C. as well as other locations around the globe to
receive training, equipment and funding before returning to their home
countries and attempting to overthrow their respective governments.

In an April 2011 article published by the New York Times titled, “U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings,” it was admitted:

A number of the groups and
individuals directly involved in the revolts and reforms sweeping the
region, including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, the Bahrain
Center for Human Rights and grass-roots activists like Entsar Qadhi, a
youth leader in Yemen, received training and financing from groups like
the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic
Institute and Freedom House, a nonprofit human rights organization based
in Washington.

The article would also add, regarding the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED):

The Republican and Democratic
institutes are loosely affiliated with the Republican and Democratic
Parties. They were created by Congress and are financed through the
National Endowment for Democracy, which was set up in 1983 to channel
grants for promoting democracy in developing nations. The National
Endowment receives about $100 million annually from Congress. Freedom
House also gets the bulk of its money from the American government,
mainly from the State Department. 

It
is clear that the political cover – the Arab Spring – and the
premeditated support of terrorist groups including Al Qaeda brought in
afterward, were planned years before the Arab Spring actually unfolded
in 2011. The goal was admittedly the overthrow of governments
obstructing Washington and Wall Street’s hegemonic ambitions and part of
a much wider agenda of isolating, encircling, and containing Russia and
China.
