What In The World Is Happening In Macedonia?By Brandon Turbeville A major protest occurred on May 5 and several other anti-government protests have taken place since then. While some protests have remained peaceful, there has been widespread violence from other demonstrations. On the May 5 protest alone, violent clashes took place between protesters and police with injuries taking place on both sides. In the days that followed, several Macedonian ministers resigned from their posts, including the Interior Minister. Prime Minister Gruevski, however, has refused to resign, characterizing such a move as cowardly behavior. On May 17, thousands of protesters once again descended upon the streets of Skopje to demand the ouster of the current government. On May 18, however, thousands more took to the streets to protest in support of the current government and Prime Minister Gruevski. An anti-government, anti-Gruevski camp has been set up outside government offices and remains there indefinitely with several hundred inhabitants on average. With such social unrest taking place in Macedonia, one need only look to the NATO/US and George Soros-funded networks to see the hidden hand of the Western Color Revolution apparatus at work. Macedonia may at first seem an unlikely target of the Anglo-American color revolution apparatus, but the truth is that the small country is now the latest battleground in a proxy war between Russia and the West. Not only are the two sides competing for influence over the domestic affairs and political decisions of the Macedonian government, there is also the question of geopolitical positions and the agenda of the creation of micro-states and mini-states. Most notably, however, is the interest regarding the Balkan Stream pipeline (aka the Turkish Stream Pipeline). George Soros, NATO, US Color Revolution Apparatus Behind the Unrest In Macedonia George Soros is most well-known for playing a major role in the funding and facilitating of the Bulldozer Revolution in Serbia that overthrew Slobodan Milosevic in 2000, Georgias Rose Revolution of 2003, the 2006 push to move Turkey toward a more Islamist governing structure, and even the Occupy movement in the United States among a great many others none of which brought anything other than greater misery, impoverishment, and police state mechanisms to bear on the general public. The Occupy movement, being the only exception, still brought nothing to its participants except the opportunity to burn off excess anger and energy along with a few cracked protester skulls. It was otherwise an incredible waste of time. In addition, George Soros has been heavily involved in the social unrest and movement-wrecking activity that has taken place all across the United States in recent months. From Florida to Ferguson and then on to Baltimore, George Soros Foundations have been involved in making sure that not only are American citizens unable to overcome racial divisions with mutual cooperation but that even the racially isolated participants are unable to accomplish anything of substance. In Macedonia, like in the United States, Soros organizations work under the pretense of left cover. In other words, Soros NGOs fund and operate organizations and movements that are seen as Left in nature but are, in reality, revolutionary organizations designed to push a political agenda, change Macedonian culture, install puppet regimes, and ultimately serve the purpose of the Anglo-American oligarchy. George Soros most well-known NGO is the Open Society Institute, is highly active in Macedonia and itself works with a plethora of civil society organizations throughout the country that function as the OSI (and hence the Wests) tentacles in Macedonian society. This is what has prompted some in Macedonia to say in regards to Soros that Soros came into Macedonia like a Trojan horse, and now he is an octopus. The OSI has been active in Macedonia for some time, with Vladimir Milcin heading the organization for nearly twenty years. Milcin was a former police informant in the days of Communism. Milcin was instrumental in ratting out a dissident actor Risto Siskov. The Soros networks in Macedonia are extremely powerful. As Jay Nordlinger reported for the National Review after having traveled to Macedonia, That being said, it should be pointed out that Macedonian news outlets like Telma and 24 Vesti are both major players in promoting the anti-government protests (in addition to other operations). Both of these outlets are funded by George Soros. Indeed, even opposition leader Zoran Zaev is a notorious Soros-funded agent with close connections to the CIA. Not only Zaev, but his entire Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) party (the former Communist party) has been entirely taken over by the Soros machine. As Wayne Madsen writes, It is also a known fact that the OSI receives are large amount of money from the US State Departments USAID. Interestingly enough, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland, has been charged by Macedonian intelligence of conspiring with Zaev of the SDSM. Wayne Madsen further describes the role of Victoria Nuland by writing: In addition, it has been reported by a number of media outlets, most notably the Russian and Macedonian press, that George Soros has tapped into the Canvas network, enlisting the organization to help in Macedonian protests. According to Macedonia Online, Macedonia Online further describes the Canvas organization by stating the following: Canvas first earned its notoriety for bringing down Milosevic. But it didnt stop there. Canvas was repeatedly hired by the CIA to organize protests in Gruzia, Moldavia, the Maldives, Lebanon, Egypt, Ukraine. Canvas first appeared in Macedonia in 2009, when it became apparent the SDSM will be in opposition once again. The thug for hire himself Srgja Popovic was present in Ohrid to christen the opening of a Canvas Academy where future protesters and activists would be trained and be called upon when the time is right. Who was the financier of this academy? USAID and Soros. Soros employees Gjuner Ismail and Sasho Ordanovski were the promoters. Macedonia Online only echoes a report written by Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer Report in 2011 entitled CIA Coup-College, where Cartalucci exposed Canvas by writing A final note to consider is that CANVAS is on record in Foreign Policy magazines article Revolution U, assisting the Rose Revolution of Georgia, the Orange Revolution of the Ukraine, and is currently working with networks from Belarus, Myanmar (Burma) and 50 other countries. Taking a look at their activities and the overall globalist agenda, it is clear they are involved in regime change that will directly assist the globalists in their encirclement of Russia and China. Who Wiretapped Whom? While the justification for the protests has been presented as a wiretapping and surveillance scandal, there is a great deal of question as to who actually surveilled whom. For instance, while the Western and Soros-funded press is clear that the Macedonian government wiretapped the opposition and additional officials, other evidence suggests that it was the other way around and that the opposition actually wiretapped members of the Macedonian government. For instance, as NPR has reported with the certainty of Macedonian governments guilt, But, as Wayne Madsen points out, the true nature of the wiretapping scandal may be more complicated than what is being presented in the Western media. In fact, it may have been the opposition who was responsible for the wiretapping to begin with. Madsen writes, The Methods Of Color Revolution In Macedonia Macedonia unfortunately finds itself in an ethnically and nationalistically susceptible state. Since its formation in 1991, Macedonia has found itself at odds with Greece and Bulgaria (two bordering states) over a naming and territorial controversy as well as with Kosovo, Serbia, and Albania (three other bordering states) in regards to ethnic Albanians, from whom a movement has emerged that often flirts with separation. While the Albanians are a minority in Macedonia, they are about 25% of the population according to some statistics, large enough to cause a stir when agitated. Because these Albanians mostly live near the Albania-Kosovo border, they can be tempted to push for a greater Albania on the same model as the Kurds inhabiting Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey push for a Kurdistan. In addition, because of the firm grip that George Soros and his networks have on the Macedonian media, it is much easier to disseminate a certain viewpoint to the population than in a country with competing viewpoints. This is especially relevant when one considers that the total population of Macedonia is only about 2 million people, thus making the goal of reaching the majority of the population with that message a possibility that is all the more real. Journalist and Geopolitical analyst, Andrew Korybko describes the situation on the ground inside Macedonia as ripe for a color revolution precisely because of these elements, also pointing out that The Reasons For The Color Revolution While geopolitical positioning, geostrategic jostling, and the desire for political influence are most certainly reasons for the destabilization of the Macedonian government, the most acute issue regarding Macedonia is the question of the Balkan Stream Pipeline (aka the Turkish Stream Pipeline). The Balkan Stream, of course, is a Russian restart of the South Stream Pipeline, which would have stretched from Russia through the Black Sea to Bulgaria to Serbia, Hungary, Slovenia, and Austria. The oil and gas would then have been delivered to Europe. This project was abandoned after Bulgaria was bullied by the EU (and the United States) into reneging on its promise to participate. The Balkan Stream is now a plan to take that Russian gas and oil from Russia and bring it through Turkey, into Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, and in to Austria. It will be a replacement for the South Stream pipeline and an alternate route to provide oil and gas to Europe, particularly now that the decision has been made to begin bypassing Ukraine in 2019. Currently, Russia provides Europe with about 30% (or 1/3) of its energy. This provides not only the obvious benefits of profits and services to both countries but it also ensures that Russia has Europe over a barrel, the EU being dependent upon the oil and gas rich nation for a wide variety of energy sources. Thus, it ensures dependence upon Russia and thus better (theoretically) international conduct between the two countries if for no other reason than the EU would be hesitant to provoke Russia for fear of having its oil and gas cut off. The US and NATO have been frantically trying to remove this leverage over Europe by attempting to sabotage oil pipelines in the Middle East that might benefit Iran in favor of oil deals that would benefit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Gulf State feudal monarchies, all essentially satellites of the Anglo-American oligarchy. It is precisely why the US was so adamantly opposed to Bulgarias participation in the South Stream project. As Andrew Korybko comments, Of course, it is also important to point out that the question of the creation of micro-states and mini states on the Brzezinski model is, as always, readily present. This method is essentially both a strategy of tension and a goal of creating a world where previously united nations are reduced to petty impotent and squabbling pseudo-states incapable of standing up to any major government, corporation, or bank. Likewise, a planet of peoples who are incapable of viewing anything other than the convenient scapegoat given to them by the world oligarchy will be incapable of resisting the power and will of that oligarchy. In the absence of a fully formed micro state, the ability to use poorly drawn borders, ethnic conflicts, racial tension, and religious fundamentalism/antagonism provides this oligarchy with the ability to play national governments and their populations like a fiddle. Macedonian Reception The attempt to present the Macedonian color revolution as the legitimate will of the Macedonian people as in Syria, Libya, Ukraine, and others can easily be disproven by talking with Macedonians. Unlike Western audiences, the Macedonian public is somewhat more hesitant to believe their billionaire owned media outlets. If speaking with Macedonians is not convincing enough, one can simply witness the massive pro-government demonstrations now taking place in response to the anti-government protests. For instance, on May 18, tens of thousands of Macedonians marched in Skopje expressing support for Prime Minister Gruevski and the Macedonian government. These marches might not be interpreted as love for the government and its politicians so much as a response to the obvious color revolution apparatus at work inside their country. It is more of a statement of rejection of outside influence in Macedonian domestic affairs than support for the status quo. Conclusion The unrest taking place across Macedonia over the last few months and currently bringing tens of thousands of Macedonians out into the streets is the result of a the deployment of the Western-engineered color revolution apparatus designed to destabilize and overthrown the Macedonian government, who has agreed to work with Russia to build the Balkan Stream pipeline through the country. This color revolution, created and deployed by Western governments, NATO, and the Soros networks of NGOs, Foundations, and civil society groups is an attempt to remove any leverage Russia may have over the EU and to expand the hegemony of the world oligarchy. We must support the Macedonian people in their resistance to this color revolution and oppose such illegal and unjust intervention here at home.

You dont need to support the Macedonia people with this pro dictatorship propaganda article thank you very much!!!!You are supporting a Dictator who impoverished the country to the maximum and destroyed the core of society like never before!!!He runs the country like its his and installed a system of fear, blackmail, threats, beatings and absolutely no justice at all. This article you have written is a total waste of your effort and my time because if Soros really wanted to destroy the country he would have totally back current prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, because he has been the absolute worst ruler the country has ever seen and I hope it will never see again!! He has been the trojan horse that was fully supported by the West until he fully turned the corner into becoming a totalitarian self obsessed paranoid lunatic!!People have been starving,health care collapsing,education in total chaos,LGTB people publicly attacked and opponents publicly imprisoned, whilst he has been building baroque faades on modernist buildings from the 70s decorated with sculptures of invented historical figures all around the capital.The social help for unemployed people(35% of population) is at bare 40 euros per month for a family of 5,Standard wage between 100-340 euros, and the midst of this kind of poverty Gruevski bought himself with tax payers money a mercedes of 600.000 euros which he was intent on hiding from the general public for the purpose of saving his image of honest, frugal man that loves his people.There is tons to write about this fraudulent scum of a man, a Dictator so I finish by saying, This article doesnt even scratch the surface of the political crisis in Macedonia and intentionally or unntentionally stands on the wrong side of the battle. Nikola Gruevski is a mafia criminal dictator that is holding the whole country in hostage for his own personal gain.Its been like that especially for the last 4-5 years. as for what next after him, things can only get better because the country is at its rock bottom in every area of its existence. What youre saying, can be just the other side of the story. It doesnt invalidate what he said about Soros and the color and flower revolutions. And what about the supposed massive demonstration in support of this government or rather against foreign intervention?? Where those people forced or was it about everybody that supports him?? Kosovo/Albanian muslims terrorists entered from NATO protected Kosovo into Macedonia and killed orthodox Mazedonian people, just like they have done it in Serbia. A piece of Serbian land that is Kosovo is not enough to be stolen. Under the US protection Albanian terrorist can even steal Mazedonian land. Thanks to US psychopaths in Washington! Islam is protected by the US government in the Balkans! The Truth: http://pamelageller.com/2015/05/jihad-in-macedonia-death-toll-mounts.html/ I dont like clicking pamelageller links
