“The Worldwide #WaveOfAction begins April 4th and runs through July 4th…”
Washington’s Blog has brought to our attention a series of videos produced by “ Wave of Action ” and “Anonymous” concerning the launching of a “Worldwide Global Awakening”, a so-called “Global Spring.”
“What do you think, Powerful or Impotent? Genius or Idiocy? Productive or Counterproductive?” asks Washington’s Blog.
The videos use powerful and emotional quotes, yet they fail to acknowledge the dramatic economic, social and geopolitical realities affecting humanity.
“Move out and do it”. But in relation to what?
Does the Wave of Action have an Action Program?
Beautiful slogans:
The Manipulation of the Protest Movement
The World is indeed at a dangerous Crossroads: At the height of a Worldwide crisis characterized by the collapse of social programs, unemployment, IMF engineered global poverty and US led wars, Washington is now supporting Al Qaeda “freedom fighters” and a Neo-Nazi government in Ukraine.
Beyond the rhetoric, the music and the video-montage, none of these issues are addressed.
This Wave of Action fails to provide an understanding of global capitalism.
The word “war” or “anti-war” are not mentioned, nor is the word “austerity”.
This initiative has all the appearances of a Psy Op., a carefully staged propaganda campaign to create confusion and channel people into manipulated protest movements.
(more videos below)
What is the functioning of the corrupt structures of global capitalism?
What “revolutionary changes” are required to dismantle the underlying power structures?
The answers:
We are a leaderless movement. We do our own thing. We want a new paradigm.
But that paradigm is not clearly identified nor is it coupled with concrete proposals.
Powerful messages in the videos by Martin Luther King and Charlie Chaplin are casually distorted,
manipulated and quoted out of context.
More slogans:
“Cool Thing to Do”
Economic and social realities are obfuscated. The nature of the New World Order, the underlying economic system and its oppressive police state apparatus are carefully omitted from the videos.
Transforming the world is “the cool thing to do”, according to the “Global Spring” initiative, as long as it does not threaten the corporate elites which in all likelihood are funding this Worldwide awakening.
The names of the major actors on Wall Street, the White House and the Pentagon are not mentioned.
The US led wars on Syria, Libya, Mali, the Central African Republic, the US-NATO-EU led Coup d’etat in Ukraine are not mentioned.
Wall Street is mentioned but the nature of financial fraud and stock market manipulation is not addressed.
Ritual of dissent? This new thrust of “Manufactured Dissent” uses catch phrases, revolutionary symbols and narrative, but fails to identify who is the target of the revolutionary movement.

Can you hear me, wherever you are,
We are coming into a new World
The Glorious Future
The solar planet has been given wings
On April 4th a Global Spring begins.
Moment of Clarity
Our Time has Come
Begin to Form Affinity Groups and Then Do It.
Evolve society
Let’s make transforming the world the cool thing to do.
Let’s create a culture of transformation.”

More slogans:
“The decentralized movement toward freedom is raging across the world. It cannot be stopped.
Let’s blaze a contagious nonviolent wave of action through mass consciousness, signaling the end of the old world, ushering in a new paradigm.
Let’s pick a three-month span, perhaps throughout this coming spring, and unite our collective actions into an unprecedented Worldwide Wave that cannot be ignored by anyone.
If we begin preparing now, a massive spring offensive can lead to a summer of transformation.”
