Nick O’Neill of Adweek writes: “This morning I had the privilege to sit in on a panel for the Washington, D.C. Economic Partnership, in which everybody in the room was excited about two things: the new administration’s full embrace of technology, and how social technology is transforming the political realm. It is no longer required for a group of people to get together in a room and make change happen.”
“Inspired by this change, “Facebook, Access 360Media, Columbia Law School, Google, Howcast, MTV, YouTube, and the U.S. Department of State are bringing leaders of 17 pioneering organizations from 15 countries together with technology experts next month for the first-ever conclave to empower youth against violence and oppression through the use of the latest online tools. ” The event is called the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit.”
Jared Cohen, a Google executive, was a member of the U.S. Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff under the Bush administration and then Obama’s.
Cohen said:
“We are seeing movements across the world use adiverse set of technologies. The simplest is Television, where we are seeing groups that have the means put their videos and images on screen in the form of commercials. But we are seeing a lot of activities using mobile phones and theInternet.”
“With mobile phones, there is a tactic called “smartmobbing,” where mobile phones are used to assemble young people around a cause.On the Internet, we are seeing online social networks like Facebook, MySpace,Bebo, and Orkut serve as important forums for young people to assemble together, build a cause, a mission, and organize events.”
In Cohen’s capacity working for Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State, he focused on counter-terrorism, counter-radicalization, Middle East/South Asia, Internet freedom, and fostering opposition in repressive countries. Right before his departure Cohen was one of the participating architects of what was labeled in 2010 as “21stcentury statecraft” along with Richard Boly and several foreign service officers in the Department of State’s Office of eDiplomacy In 2013,Cohen was named by Time Magazine as one of its 100 most influential people.

Egypt frees Google manager who became protest hero
February 7, 2011
CAIRO — Egypt on Monday released a Google Inc. executive who became a hero of anti-government protesters after he vanished nearly two weeks ago while taking part in demonstrations calling for the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.
Protesters in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square say Wael Ghonim, amarketing manager for the Internet company, was one of the main youthful organizers of the online campaign that sparked the mass protests on Jan. 25.

Under President Obama we created a CIA program called Timber Sycamore where we trained the youth in the Middle East, gave them weapons, support and money to overthrow their governments. Many of them became ISIS, we knew it and supported them anyway. I use this Wiki reference because when I copied it, it said that the CIA had taught thousands of rebels. The news downplays the numbers.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton records a video message for participants of the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit in Mexico City, Mexico October 16, 2009. Go to http://www.state.gov/video for more video and text transcript.
Hillary:
I want to congratulate all of you that have come to Mexico City in person and online to be part of this ground breaking summit. You are the vanguard of a rising generation of citizen activists who are using the latest technological tools to catalyze change, build a movement and transform lives and I hope this conference provides an opportunity for you to learn from each other and discover the tools and techniques that will open new doors for activism and empowerment when you return home.
All over the world young people like you are driving progress. In Columbia two young college graduates fed up with violence in their country used Facebook to organize 14 million people into the largest anti-terrorism demonstration in history. In Iran we saw young people using Twitter and Youtube to communicate with each other and the world. Despite a government crackdown designed to keep them quiet. In India a 14 year old high school student from Mumbai used social networking to link together half a million people that sought solidarity and support in the aftermath of the November 2008 terrorist attack.
You have all traveled … paths to get here today, you come from different cultures and countries and speak different languages but you all share a common commitment to engaging with the world using every tool at your disposal to bring people together to solve problems. And that makes you the kind of leader we need.
As we work to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of the 21century, government can’t do it alone, citizens organizations, businesses, universities everyone with a stake in our shared future must take responsibilities for shaping it. That’s what we call 21st century statecraft. So thank you for being on the front line of progress and I can’t wait to see what all of you do next.
President Obama has created a rebel organization called Organizing for Action. https://www.ofa.us/

Hillary:
“Hello Democrats”
“After the primaries we came together as a primary to write the most progressive platform in history. Ideas we championed are now inspiring leaders and activists across our country. Nearly 66 million votes are fueling grass roots energy and activism and everywhere people are marching, protesting, tweeting, speaking out and working for an America that’s hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted.”
“From the Women’s March to airports where communities are welcoming immigrants, refugees and people of every faith, to town hall meetings where people are speaking up for healthcare, the environment, good jobs and all the other issues that deserve our passionate support.”
We killed 475,000 people in Syria and made many millions of refugees.

In truth and reality the Arab Spring itself did not hit Syria - blocked by Assad. The regime change agenda against Assad, including covert support (by the west operating through & including add’l support from Turkey, some of the Gulf States and the Saudis) for the so-called “Syrian Opposition” began long before the Arab Spring and years before Obama was even elected. Because the west support went through Middle East third parties, just like the support for the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan, it would to whomever had an on the ground anti-Assad network already. The largest organized Syrian anti-Assad network is and was the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood (with two previous attempts to toppled Assad’s father). After the Arab Spring got going, the west and the already covertly formed “Syrian Opposition” chose to use the cover of the Arab Spring to launch the “protests” against Assad - making it appear it had just been born as part of the Arab Spring - it wasn’t; it existed underground in Syria long before the Arab spring. ALL the efforts you mention were not efforts that kicked off the Syrian Opposition. Covertly it was far ahead of all the Arab Spring movements and needed not those efforts from Obama & Hillary to kick off. They just thought - in error - by attaching their movement publicly to the Arab Spring toppling Assad would become easier - somehow. That was a big mistake.
