    I didn’t even bother to look it up at the time (I was not a good journalist) but the President of the organization running it, Jack DuVall, was a former US Air Force officer with a deeply swampy resume. He was a Washington creature through and through, funded by a Wall Street insider trader, Peter Ackerman. It was real cabal shit, and I casually strolled into it, basically because I was bored and curious.

    Funny how the same names keep coming up.

      I searched the page for Gene Sharp, there’s no direct mention in the article but they’re talking about the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, which is more than close enough.
