When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time.

There would be plenty of torture in "secret centers", but it would not be as advertised and glorified as it would be if [Donald] Trump were elected.” IfsWorldHappensWould BeLeftSecretColorRevolutionTrumpDirectClintonSouthChinaRussiaPlentyPropagandaTortureIranLatinRegimesSouth AfricaWarfarePresidencyExceptionalInvasionLatin AmericaBombingAmerican RevolutionUmbrellaCoupsLatin AmericanSponsorshipRegime Change Author:Andre Vltchek
“In 1989, thirteen nations comprising 1,695,000 people experienced nonviolent revolutions that succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations . . . If we add all the countries touched by major nonviolent actions in our century (the Philippines, South Africa . . . the independence movement in India . . .) the figure reaches 3,337,400,000, a staggering 65% of humanity!
