Imperial Crusaders For Global Governance

April 20, 2009


by Michael Barker

(Swans - April 20, 2009)   The International Crisis Group was set up  
in 1995, and describes itself as an "independent, non-profit, non- 
governmental organisation," which works "through field-based analysis  
and high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict."  
Taking issue with this misleading self-description, Diana Johnstone  
described the Crisis Group as a "high-level think tank supported by  
financier George Soros... [devised] primarily to provide policy  
guidance to governments involved in the NATO-led reshaping of the  
Balkans." Johnstone adds that "[i]ts leading figures include top US  
policy maker Morton Abramowitz, the eminence grise of NATO's new  
'humanitarian intervention' policy and sponsor of Kosovo Albanian  
separatists." (1) More recently, Jan Oberg provided a detailed  
critique of the Crisis Group's "democratic" work in his essay The  
International Crisis Group: Who Pays the Piper? This article extends  
these critical examinations of the Group and introduces some of the  
leading democracy manipulators who work within with the International  
Crisis Group, a group that should more accurately be described as the  
Imperial Crusaders for Global Governance.
