Freedom House publishes regime change manuals in Persian
Freedom House's Dutch-funded Persian project, Gozaar, has published two new manuals: One to teach Iranians how to organise and manage urban riots to destabilise the Iranian government, called 'Non-Violent Struggle: 50 Crucial Points'; and another on how to disrupt the upcoming parliament election in Iran, titled 'How Domestic Organizations Monitor Elections.'
Ironically, Gene Sharp, the U.S. government's favourite regime change guru, appeared on a one-hour evening call-in show on Voice of America Persian and taught his techniques and strategies of disruption in Iran. The first caller asked him about the possibility of 'velvet revolution' in Iran and of course, Dr. Sharp was very positive.
Read more about Gene Sharp and his Albert Einstein Institute (What does Einstein have to do with regime-change, I have no idea.) in the wonderful SourceWatch.
And here is the full-length video of his guest appearance that I just uploaded to Google video.
