Generation Engage: The "We Are Change" of the Establishment

Justin Rockefeller, son of Senator Jay Rockefeller, a great grandson of oilman John D. Rockefeller, along with Adrian and Devin Talbott, sons of former Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, have begun an initiative called "Generation Engage". Generation Engage's stated goal is to bring young people across the United States into political discussion, education and action, but is this true discussion and action or misdirection coming directly from the establishment?

The growing We Are Change organization, founded by Luke Rudkowski, has become a worldwide phenomenon. Far from being a centralized and controlled organization, groups of young people the world over are organically forming and confronting politicians and public figures on a wide range of issues. From unanswered questions surrounding the events of September 11th 2001, global warming carbon tax issues, to tyrannical global governance, We Are Change chapters are hitting all the key issues and making establishment figures shake in their boots.

Generation Engage, far from being a truly organic and decentralized activist group, promotes and invites individuals like Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Al Gore and others to speak to passive and well meaning young people who receive them unquestioningly with open arms. As an example of the kind of talks Generation Engage allows, take a look at Newt Gingrich's defense of President Bush's wiretapping activities.

Demonstrating the supportive stance of the establishment towards Generation Engage, the mainstream media has given them a platform to promote their organization.

The fact that the sons of such establishment figures such as Rockefeller and Talbott are running this organization should send up red flags. Strobe Talbott, the father of Adrian and Devin Talbott, is a dedicated globalist. Talbott stated in a 1992 Time Magazine article titled "The Birth of a Global Nation" that,

"...nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century--"citizen of the world"--will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st century."

Investigative journalist Jim Tucker, who has been covering the secretive Bilderberg and Trilateral Commission conferences for over 30 years, recently reported that during the April 25-28 2008 Trilateral Commission meeting in Washington D.C. members discussed the fact that they are very concerned over the Ron Paul Revolution. Specifically, they are concerned about young people receiving a "real political education".

The establishment is undoubtedly nervous about organic groups like We Are Change having a real effect. It is unsurprising that a counter organization would be founded in order to bring young people back into mainline political thought. The fact that this would be done shows that the claim that we have no power and no chance of success is a false claim - if that were true no action would be taken to counter us.
