Making people angry on purpose
Totalitarian governments, fake elections, governments that are elected based on specific promises but once in office, do exactly the opposite, governments that ignore public opinion and the democratic process. That makes people angry.

Corruption, both political and economical. That makes people angry.

Destruction of public education and health care. That makes people angry.

Destruction of culture, promotion of primitive TV programming, art, and entertainment, magazines and newspapers full of pathetic ads, political propaganda, and irrelevant information. That makes people angry.

Indoctrination and manipulative propaganda, lying, hiding the truth, selective reporting. That makes people angry.
Destruction of family by forcing multiple careers, reducing family time, relaxing family laws, and popularizing alternatives. That makes people angry.

Support for many political parties and/or minorities, the more the better. After all, "Nobody is deficient." When many different groups divide the power, nobody has enough power to put up an effective political resistance or to bring about a change. Democracy is dead, the real leaders behind the scenes have full control. That makes people angry.

Fashion trends and social attitudes that focus public attention on worthless extravagancy, meaningless entertainment, and unwise priorities in order to turn it away form relevant and important issues. That makes (some) people angry.

Green light for opposition activists, their organizations, and publications. Sporadic and symbolic repressions to increase their credibility. Infiltration, creation and funding of “fake” opposition organizations and/or publications. This does not make people angry because most are unaware of it, but it is a necessary element of revolutions.When all of this is in place, you then need a catalyzing event, an eloquent and euphoric leader supported by popular celebrities, and a well organized network of media, to promise change, mobilize the masses, and ignite the fire.
Sounds familiar? Most people have already heard or read about it. Just look around and see - most of the above pre-conditions have been already put in place. And remember that the level of mass frustration is paramount in building a revolutionary readiness of the masses.

Now, who and why would want a “revolution”?

The most obvious answer is, “The world’s financial elites and their stooges.” A controlled revolution would make several of their reported goals easier to achieve.

3. Speaking of anger and infiltration.
Edited on Sat May-03-08 06:13 PM by Uncle Joe
"Roseanne Barr calls for DNC "trouble"

Source: Denver Post Just days after conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh came under fire for "dreaming of riots in Denver," another national talk show host issued a call for "trouble" at the Democratic National Convention — this time from the liberal side."
