Gene Sharp is the author of a book on how to organize peaceful revolutions. That idea, according to the official reading, was adopted by the CIA, but probably the book is the marketing version of the ideas coming from the CIA. However you look at it, the Gene Sharp method is an old familiar method of getting those in power out of their positions through peaceful revolution, of flowers, hearts, symbols, sit-down actions, festival-style demonstrations and so on.
The tactic was used in the 1990s in Yugoslavia by the Otpor movement spearheaded by Srdja Popovic and is now also promoted by Google and other large tech companies. In its portrayal to the masses, the Gene Sharp is sold as a method for the people; the method to bring about changes in a government influence or the method to overthrow a dictatorship. For example, Srdja Popovic with his Otpor movement, is said to have been the decisive factor in overthrowing the Slobodan Milošević government in Serbia (Yugoslavia). What a hero!
We also saw this method applied in Ukraine. Everyone surely remembers the images of a full Maidan Square in Kiev, where Frans Timmermans was present with an inflated red head to celebrate the success. And the same tactics were used in many other countries, partly because Otpor was used as a great example of success and Srdja Popovic and his team flew around the world to train revolution managers where needed.
And therein lies precisely the crux in the difference between the marketing story as promoted by Google and the reality. The marketing story is that you, the people, can successfully bring about change if you apply the Gene Sharp method. The real story is that Otpor was used in Yugoslavia by NATO to do social influence, through the Gene Sharp marketing strategy. It is the method of using peaceful resistance to get the mood of the people in hand, and then waltzing over it with the military.
Everyone remembers the snipers in Maidan Square in Kiev. These would have been snipers from the then regime, but there are also sources who claim they were NATO gunmen (see this article).
The real story of Otpor, then, is that Otpor was a tool of the CIA to divide Yugoslavia into groups. Those groups still lived together completely peacefully under Tito, but were pitted against each other by the supposedly peaceful revolution managers. This played into the hands of the divide and rule strategy. In fact, Yugoslavia under Tito was quite a strong country with a booming economy and the largest army in Europe. Yugoslavia had strong ties with Russia and Greece because of its Serbian population and its Greek Orthodox faith. Both Yugoslavia and Greece were destroyed: one through the Yugoslav war and the other through financial warfare.
You don't want Russian-affiliated enclaves in a great Europe, hanging under the American empire of the NATO flag. So that had to be destroyed and so the revolution managers were deployed first. Those revolution managers sow division among populations and then the military follows.
We also see the Otpor (Gene Sharp) method in the current era of the corona crisis. People like Frank Ruesink even openly show their adherence to the Gene Sharp method (see this photo and this photo). The spontaneously emerging Defend movement is also bursting with Gene Sharp symbolism. In particular, the clenched raised fist is an important symbol. Virus Truth's peaceful demonstrations, sit-down actions, heart balloons and yellow umbrellas, are straight out of the Gene Sharp handbook. The demonstrators are in an atmosphere of peacefulness and music festivals, but do not realize that they are being ultimately used by the Judas goats of the movement who are only helping to build division.
In this case, the Gene Sharp method is not being used to overthrow a regime in a distant country. No, the method can also be used to keep an incumbent regime stronger in power. That seems to be the issue now. Resistance movements are used to stigmatize group A through mainstream media propaganda and group B is the other group that may be the largest in this case. Group A represents the virus deniers, wappies and love and patience protesters; group B are the people who believe in the experts and science. It's all about division.
In countries where the anti-government group must win, you give it all the media and social media propaganda and unlimited budgets that you supplement with bribed politicians who support you when necessary. In countries where the incumbent government needs to be more firmly in the saddle, on the contrary, you keep the power of the incumbent order solidly in the saddle and let opposition politicians do crazy things or link them to scandals. The polarizing effect of the peaceful revolution does its work, until the moment you draw the violence card. That violence card can also be used in both ranks; depending on who should win the battle in the country you have targeted.
In all cases, the Gene Sharp method contributes to polarizing populations: either you are for overthrowing the regime or you are vehemently opposed. The proponents engage in clenched fist, sticker-splitting, banners, flowers, hearts and a festival atmosphere and the opponents do not.
Although the founder of Otpor (read: CIA stooge) sells the Gene Sharp method as a success formula for overthrowing dictatorial regimes, the facts speak a very different story. It has helped destabilize stable countries and inflated social divisions from nonexistent to very large. Then the violence factor comes into the formula and with that you can put the desired slur on group A or group B. Then you deploy the military and actually force the gains for group A or group B.
By the way, in the case of overthrown regimes, we always see that a busted country ends up in irreparable damage and huge debts to Western central banks and a government is installed that keeps the people poor and oppressed, yet in the illusion of democracy. All this under complete financial dependence on the EU or the US. Does this make the Gene Sharp method as fantastic as it is being sold?
So in fact, the Gene Sharp method is not at all intended to help a people achieve the desired victory after a revolution; the Gene Sharp method is directed by the secret services and is purely and simply intended to magnify fields of tension, create chaos and from that chaos restore the desired order. 'Ordo ab Chao' is an old Roman principle and so the method is as old as the road to Rome, but in a new marketing jacket.
In the case of corona frenzy, it is likewise used to rally large groups. Those groups get enough media attention to grow them into tens of thousands. Many of those tens of thousands are Inoffizieller Mitarbeiter (as those covert state agents under the Stasi of former East Germany were called). Thus you hope to grow the following of that group in a controlled way. Meanwhile, you create an escalating tension between vaccinated and unvaccinated and work toward the moment when you pull the violence card.
The regime that is now rolling out its agenda worldwide is not to be overthrown through the Gene Sharp method. No, this regime is to be more firmly established through that Gene Sharp method.
If you want to know more about that Gene Sharp and Otpor method, watch this short documentary. If you want to understand the whole rollout, all the propaganda methods and the inciting of populations in Yugoslavia after Tito's death, watch the documentary below. It really is an eye opener.
In summary, the Gene Sharp method is sold as a revolution method for and by the people. In practice, it is a revolution method directed by the secret services to build fields of tension among the people, using trained revolution managers.

Gladio the Strategy Of Tension in a nutshell:
The strategy of tension is a method of social control involving covert attacks upon a population intended to promote stress and fear amongst them. The purpose is inducing mistrust of one another to increase child-like dependence upon authority figures.
just like the win/no win of Max Verstappen? The scenario planning and orchestrating tension to a climax light so thickly that it must create distrust and an authority (jury) is needed to determine the victor.
No that is Panem et Circenses, or bread and games.
