GetUp targets Australian youth for revolution

GetUp targets Australian youth for Soros Orange Revolution

Well-connected political front group GetUp is attempting to lure youth as young as 14 to Sydney next month, for a staged protest on climate change, to further GetUp’s “Orange Revolution” operation in Australia.

A leader of the LaRouche Youth Movement in Australia, Doug Mitchell, blasted GetUp’s agenda, and warned Australian youth against falling for GetUp’s ruse:

“GetUp is a political front for the City of London’s attack on national sovereignty, being run through multibillionaire currency speculator George Soros,” Mitchell said. “Soros and his British controller, Lord Malloch-Brown, use outfits like GetUp, its U.S. counterpart MoveOn.org, and the various ‘colour’ revolutions like the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, and the Rose Revolution in Georgia, to force more and more globalisation on the nations they target.

“It is clear from GetUp’s activities they plan an Orange Revolution for Australia, under the smokescreen of the lie of human-induced climate change.”

The two co-founders of GetUp, Harvard graduates Jeremy Heimans and David Madden, both worked for the Soros-funded MoveOn.org in the U.S. to also launch the global web “movement”, Avaaz.org. Madden was previously a consultant to the World Bank and Heimans previously consulted for the UN, OECD and ILO.

This self-styled “grass-roots” movement, which appeared suddenly in 2005, boasted among its founding board members: John Hewson, former federal opposition leader, former Macquarie Bank Executive Director and Trilateral Commission member; Don Mercer, a mining chief, former ANZ CEO and a past Director of the Australian Institute of Company Directors; and Evan Thornley, the super-rich Labor Party money-bags who is also National Secretary of the Australian Fabian Society.

GetUp is busy recruiting youth aged 14-30 to register for their planned climate protest called Power Shift 2009. In all likelihood GetUp will dress the youth in orange clothes and give them orange placards to wave, so it is instructive to look at what eventuated in Soros’s previous Orange Revolution, in Ukraine in 2004-05. In a geopolitical move to destabilise Russia, electoral fraud was alleged in the 2004 Ukrainian Presidential election and orange-clad protestors were duped into backing the Central Banker candidate, Viktor Yushchenko over his rival Viktor Yanukovych. Four years later Ukrainians bitterly regret falling for the Soros-funded hype around Yushchenko’s “way to a better life” under the WTO and Maastricht free trade looting of the European Union, and now President Yushchenko’s approval rating is at a miserable 6 per cent.

Doug Mitchell concluded, “Australian youth are being targeted by GetUp because we have the passion to act on problems we see need to be solved. Instead of falling for this scam, young people should find out the truth about the climate change fraud for themselves, and join the CEC and LYM fight to stop it.”
