Sharp Attack Unwarranted?

Jun 27, 2008 13:36

Longtime readers of C&C may recall Gene Sharp, the man with the plan. His tactics work. Forty governments plus have been knocked over using them. I brought them up for readers to consider should the face a lawless government. These techniques are being used worldwide against dictatorships and DEMOCRACIES alike. The bad guys use these methods. Sharp's whining sounds like Einstein's about this work being using to melt Japanese. Boo hoo. As for zionist-lite Left gatekeeper Zunes I give him two index fingers up.

Sharp Attack Unwarranted

by Stephen Zunes

Gene Sharp, an 80-year-old scholar of strategic nonviolent action and veteran of radical pacifist causes, is under attack by a number of foreign governments that claim that he and his small research institute are key players in a Bush administration plot against them.

Though there is no truth to these charges, several leftist web sites and publications have been repeating such claims as fact. This raises disturbing questions regarding the ability of progressives challenging Bush foreign policy to distinguish between the very real manifestations of U.S. imperialism and conspiratorial fantasies.

Gene Sharp’s personal history demonstrates the bizarre nature of these charges. He spent two years in prison for draft resistance against the Korean War, was arrested in the early civil rights sit-ins, was an editor of the radical pacifist journal Peace News, and was the personal assistant to the leftist labor organizer A.J. Muste. He named his institute after Albert Einstein, who is not only remembered as the greatest scientist of the 20th century but was also a well-known socialist and pacifist.
