My apologies for the blatant theft, but this is vitally important information that needs to be shared with the world.
The US has been perfecting and continues to perpetrate one of the greatest PsyOps black-bag jobs of all time. On her own people.
We don't have to take the BS from a government that continues to create puppet governments and battles against the freedoms and liberties of people around the world who suffer under dictatorships or unfair governments.
The leaked manual - at the link above - which has been verified with military sources, is the official US Special Forces doctrine for Foreign Internal Defense or FID.
FID operations are designed to prop up "friendly" governments facing popular revolution or guerilla insurgency. FID interventions are often covert or quasi-covert due to the unpopular nature of the governments being supported ("In formulating a realistic policy for the use of advisors, the commander must carefully gauge the psychological climate of the HN [Host Nation] and the United States.")
The manual may be critically described as "what the US learned about running death squads and propping up corrupt government in Latin America and how to apply it to other places". Its contents are both history defining for Latin America and, given the continued role of US Special Forces in the suppression of insurgencies, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, history making.
Revolution happens because people want change... change which may make their lives better. Until such a time as a flawless and functional government exists wherein all of the needs, wants and wishes of the entire populace are served, revolution will have a place in enacting change. As long as the disenfranchised believe that they have a voice - whether in uprising, public commentary, demonstrations or free speech - they will continue to use that voice.
The governments of all the countries in the world have no right to invade any other sovereign country, control or redirect the sentiments of the people, or otherwise affect the tide of dissent that may form from a suppressed populace.
Recognizing the innate sanctity of the opinions of all people (despite our personal disagreements) is the first step in finding a better world.

Vain hopes - of salvaging my life from the frustration that envelops me - have forced me to try to write my thoughts down... in an effort to keep me from utter despair.
International Kitten Hurling
The Kitten Hurl is a traditional Northern English athletic event involving the hurling of a small adolescent furry animal called a kitten, similar in size and shape to a badger.
There are no uniform standards for kittens specifying length, weight, color of fur, density, circumference, etc. In general, the kittens used in competitions vary in all these characteristics with each Yorkshire Games contestant having their own set of kittens. Typically, a contestant will have several kittens varying in length and weight, with the larger, heavier implements being used for the Professional or top class event and the shorter, lighter kittens being used for either qualifying for the top class or for the Amateur class. Others, smaller and lighter yet, might used for the women's and junior classes if the Games event features such competitions.
To hurl the kitten, the thrower first cups their hands together. The kitten is then held vertically with the 'bottom' end in the thrower's cupped hands. Continuing to hold the kitten vertically (which requires a good deal of careful balance), the thrower runs forward and tosses the kitten into the air so that it turns 180° end-over-end in the air and lands on the former 'top' end. Because the kitten still has angular momentum, the former 'bottom' end then (hopefully) falls forward and away from the thrower.
Though less popular and more secretive, it is widely believed that the English Kitten Hurl is the older and more dignified version of the Scottish Caber Toss. Some contestants do compete in both fields.
