You say "personally if I wanted to facilitate the spread of liberal ideas in Russia, the very last thing I'd do is boost US power to be a convenient bogeyman for Russians to unite against", and characterize my ideas as a "conspiracy", but how else can you explain how the groups I described united to support the Orange Revolution in the Ukraine[1]? The liberals I'm referring to are certainly not especially critical of US interventionism. I'm not referring to Chomsky or even Bernie Sanders here, I'm talking about George Soros and his camp.

US pollsters and professional consultants are hired to organise focus groups and use psephological data to plot strategy.
