The revolution has begun? Armenians again reveling in self-destructive behavior

Policy Forum Armenia; major elements within the ARF in the US; Armenian Assembly of America; agent Richard Giragosian’s think tanks Regional Studies Center and Acnis; agent Raffi Hovanissian’s Heritage political party; Sardarapat movement; Western-funded propaganda outlets Human Rights Watch Armenia, Amnesty International Armenia, Freedom House Armenia, Azatutyun Radio/Radio Liberty, Voice of America, EurasiaNet, Global Voices and ArmeniaNow; opposition propaganda outlets Hetq, Asbarez, Zhamanak, Armenian Weekly, Hraparak, A1 Plus, Aravot and Lragir.
There are also Washington’s human assets inside Armenia; an army of analysts, rights advocates, environmentalists, politicians, political activists and journalists -
Vartan Oskanian, Raffi Hovanissian, Paruyr Hayrikian, Ara Manoogian, Onnik Krikorian, Zaruhi Postanjyan, Levon Petrosian, Manvel Sargsian, David Grigorian, Gayane Abrahamyan, Nanore Barsumian, Jirayr Sefilian, Yeghya Nersesian, Tsovinar Nazaryan, Edik Baghtasaryan, Emil Danielyan, Liana Aghajanian, Arman Babajanyan, Levon Parseghyan, Artur Sakunts, Karen Hakobian, Georgy Vanyan… as well as non-Armenian assets such as John Hughes, Tony Halpin and Rick Ney.
Of course I need to remind the reader again that the above is only a partial list.
Washington has been busy dragging out the dregs of Armenian society in an effort to foment social unrest in the country. Ranging from our self-destructive political opposition to Washingtonian agents to pseudo-rights advocates to militant homosexuals, who-is-who of Armenia’s lower cast and foreign cast has been encouraged to rise against the Armenia state.
See the sampling of articles below this commentary; it’s basically a frightening gallery of Armenia’s modern day wannabe revolutionaries and self-destructive peasants in direct and indirect service of Uncle Sam.
I need to mention, however, that President Serj Sargsyan has managed to thwart their assaults by a series of brilliant countermeasures such as putting some of Armenia’s Western operatives such as Oskanian on the defensive, causing disarray within the political opposition and by ousting several high profile officials accused of corruption, as in the case of the unpopular mayor of Gyumri. President Sargsyan has proven to be very resilient and an absolute grossmeister at manipulating Armenia’s political landscape to his full advantage. There isn’t anyone within Armenia today that is capable of defeating him during the next presidential elections as the following survey conducted by Gallup International reveals -

One must me totally blind not to notice that Armenia also has registered a lot of progress in recent years, progress that even Armenia’s Western propaganda outlets cannot cast a negative light upon. The following are just five very recent examples of what I am referring to -

Despite all odds, and sometimes despite its troublesome sons and daughters, Armenia is moving forward under the capable leadership of President Serj Sargsyan. President Sargsyan will be reelected. But feeling any sense of security at this stage in time is dangerous. We can never make the mistake of underestimating the destructive effectiveness of powerful levers still under Western control. Moreover, Western operatives in Armenia continue being emboldened by events taking place in the Arab world and they continue feeling hopeful because they know that Armenians, generally speaking, tend to be a bunch of @%#$ing idiots when it comes to serious political matters.
And speaking of @%#$ing idiots, did any of you realize that there is an ARF affiliated organization called “Armenian and the Left”? Don’t laugh, it’s true, and the following is their website -

“Global Diaspora Forum”
With slogans such as “going forward by giving back” and “promoting diaspora engagement”, the Whore of Babylon’s “Global Diaspora Forum” took place in Washington on July 25, 2012. Please refer to the following two links for more details about the event -
The Secretary’s Global Diaspora Forum:http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CFEQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.state.gov%2Fs%2Fpartnerships%2Fgdf%2Findex.htm&ei=NZ8vUPviM9Cu2AX74oF4&usg=AFQjCNFbnfZ7RU-UFArcd2hQAyztTWFU3g2012 Global Diaspora Forum: Moving Forward By Giving Back:http://diasporaalliance.org/featured/global-diaspora-forum/
“The Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development hosted the second annual Global Diaspora Forum in Washington DC on July 25-26. The Forum focused on how new technology can empower and increase diaspora philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, volunteerism, and social innovation. The Forum challenged diaspora communities to forge partnerships with the private sector, civil society, and public institutions in order to make their engagements with their countries of origin or ancestry effective, scalable, and sustainable.”On Sunday July 22, Garo Yegnukian and Sassoon Kosian, two political strategists, discussed current Armenian issues on the Armenian Radio Hour of New Jersey, including the Criminal Oligarchy and the proposed Road Map for regime change through alternative elections that has been put forth by the Sardarapat Movement. Garo Yegnukian, businessman and lawyer, was one Armenian who attended the Global Diaspora Forum on behalf of PFA – Policy Forum Armenia, a Washington based think tank. He is a member of an Armenian political party UNSD – Union for National Self-Determination and a supporter of Sardarapat Movement.Sassoon Kosian, a Business Intelligence professional, spoke about his Facebook group called “Campaign Against Oligarchy”. He is a strong advocate of boycotts as a means to pressure the oligarchs and potentially bring changes in the governing regime. Kosian has a Masters in Economics from Central European University, Masters in Political Science from the American University of Armenia, and a degree in Physics from Yerevan State University. He is also an artist.”Armenian Radio Hour (July 29, 2012): http://www.snkcreative.com/arnj/upload2/ainews072912.pdf

Regardless of how beneficial or even necessary they may seem at first glance, any movement that has any form of Western-backing or is spearheaded by Western-led or inspired activists need to be categorically rejected by Armenians. For years I have been sounding the alarm that imperial interests in Washington have co-opted and weaponized sociopolitical issues and are currently exploiting them towards self-serving political gains. For years I have been warning my audience that accepting help, in any form, from Washington comes with dangerous conditions, conditions that Armenia simply put cannot meet. Since Armenians have a genetic disposition against listening to or taking advice from fellow Armenians, I will resort to asking you to refer to the work of an American regarding this topic -

“Devastating and deeply disturbing, this book lays bare any lingering illusions that human rights concerns seriously influence U.S. policy.”—Andrew J. Bacevich, author of Washington RulesThe United States has long been hailed as a powerful force for global human rights. Now, drawing on thousands of documents from the CIA, the National Security Council, the Pentagon, and development agencies, James Peck shows in blunt detail how Washington has shaped human rights into a potent ideological weapon for purposes having little to do with rights—and everything to do with furthering America’s global reach. Using the words of Washington’s leaders when they are speaking among themselves, Peck tracks the rise of human rights from its dismissal in the cold war years as “fuzzy minded” to its calculated adoption, after the Vietnam War, as a rationale for American foreign engagement. He considers such milestones as the fight for Soviet dissidents, Tiananmen Square, and today’s war on terror, exposing in the process how the human rights movement has too often failed to challenge Washington’s strategies. A gripping and elegant work of analysis, Ideal Illusions argues that the movement must break free from Washington if it is to develop a truly uncompromising critique of power in all its forms.

From Dictatorship to Democracy was a pamphlet, printed and distributed by Dr Gene Sharp and based on his study, over a period of forty years, on non-violent methods of demonstration. Now in its fourth edition, it was originally handed out by the Albert Einstein Institution, and although never actively promoted, to date it has been translated into thirty-one languages. This astonishing book travelled as a photocopied pamphlet from Burma to Indonesia, Serbia and most recently Egypt, Tunisia and Syria, with dissent in China also reported. Surreptitiously handed out amongst youth uprisings the world over – how the ‘how-to’ guide came about and its role in the recent Arab uprisings is an extraordinary tale. Once read you’ll find yourself urging others to read it and indeed want to gift it.
Therefore, it could be argued that the political West – and not the “Nemets Rubos” of Armenia – is retarding Armenia’s development.
I reiterate: Any organization and any individual that is in any way connected to Washington needs to be rejected by Armenians because whether these organizations or individuals realize it or not, due to their affiliations with imperial powers in the West, their actions pose a serious long-term security risk to the embattled Armenian state in the much contested and ever volatile Caucasus.
