This is from a conservative talk show host in my area. I was trying to find out more about some remarks he made towards transgender people that I didn't like, and I found this instead:

WHO'S PULLING THE PROTESTERS' STRINGS?
I have a question about these massive anti-war protests they’re having around the world.
Who’s pulling the strings?
Who’s behind it and what’s their agenda? And why do they operate in secrecy and anonymity?
Not to sound like some crazy conspiratorialist – like Hillary Clinton or Timothy McVeigh – but the level of orchestration and coordination in these protests and mass demonstrations is so great and so widespread as to require extensive and central command and control.
Translation: Somebody’s in charge.
The question is: Who?
For example, last Saturday as many as three million people in at least a dozen countries met in simultaneous demonstrations in hundreds of cities. All across America, in Asia, in Baghdad, in Paris, in London. Everywhere.
Amazingly, many of them carried the same signs. They chanted the same chants.
How did that happen?
How was the decision made that it would be that Saturday, and not the one before or the one after? And how was it decided it would be a Saturday, instead of a Sunday or a Monday?
How is it that the people in Baghdad happened to be on the same sheet of music as the people in Salt Lake City or Rochester? Ditto for Paris and Bogota and Moscow? How exactly did that happen?
Why is it the sound bites are all the same?
Even at the local level, what kind of extensive coordination is required to get the various gay, environmental, union, women’s and civil rights groups together for the march on city hall? What is that structure and why haven’t we learned more about it?
And why has the news media completely ignored it?
What’s passed for journalism in this matter has been nothing more than public relations for the protesters. And inasmuch as the actual number of people who have seen the protests is relatively miniscule, media coverage of them is where the rubber really meets the road. Media coverage is the purpose and point, and reporters become the most important participants.
Which makes their failure all the more troubling.
Instead of looking into the protest organizations and rooting out their bosses, money sources and agendas, reporters have given themselves over to being press agents for anarchists.
If nothing else, the power behind these protests is a massive, multi-national organization with tremendous resources and abilities to command millions of people.
That’s not insignificant.
And it can’t be refuted.
Some say that this is a grassroots movement, that it arises organically from the will of the people.
That’s a bunch of crap. And anybody who’s ever organized anything knows that. You can’t put a family reunion or a PTA bake sale together without all kinds of hassle and work. And there’s no way a worldwide movement like this just happens.
It happens because somebody made it happen.
And in the interest of disclosure and honesty we have a right and duty to know who that is.
Some say it’s the fruit of the Internet, that people can communicate more freely and like-minded people are merely joining together. But that misses the point. Thought the Internet is widely used to transmit information, it is a means of communication, a tool of command and control.
Internet sites, like the one linked below, are full of Madison Avenue polish and glitz. They are a big-money tool. And they solicit big money, typically asking donors for $100 a pop.
Where does that money go and what does it do?
And how is society affected by these activities? When does protest stop being free speech and start being insurrection?
The answers are not in the public domain.
And they should be.
It’s possible these are just activists, but it is also possible these are enemies. The problem is we can’t know which they are because we don’t know who they are.
The shouting protesters and the TV-camera activists are just pawns.
We’ve got to find out who’s pulling the strings.
It could be a matter of national and world security.
