Interesting that this admiring article on Ackerman's "nonviolent regime change" methodology was written by Franklin Foer.

Foer was involved in the false accusations against US troops in the Iraq War...an early "hate crime hoax":

Foer's Folly Finally Falls Flat {The New Republic} American Thinker ^ | December 02, 2007 | Rick Moran Posted on ‎12‎/‎2‎/‎2007‎ ‎12‎:‎36‎:‎35‎ ‎PM by 3AngelaD It took four months of dodging, ducking, bobbing, and weaving, but bloggers have finally pinned Franklin Foer and The New Republic to the mat. Yesterday afternoon, Foer's online edition of the magazine published a long, self-pitying, highly defensive screed about the Scott Beauchamp articles that accused American soldiers of casual atrocities in Iraq in which the Editor of The New Republic admitted the magazine would no longer stand behind or vouch for their accuracy: ...It took Foer 12,000 words to admit to his own incompetence and the incompetence of his staff. He seems almost dazed by the onslaught that was hurled against him and he is genuinely at a loss as to how things worked out the way they did. He blames bloggers. He blames Beauchamp to some extent. He blames his staff. He blames the war. He blames the military. But to me, he appears incapable of the kind of introspection that would lay the finger of blame directly and solely where it belongs; on his own, perplexed and bewildered head.

I suppose make up fake hate crime/atrocity stories is a form of resistance useful for regime change. That now seems to be a preferred method to try to unseat Trump.
