Srđa Popović is a Serbian political activist.
Official narrative
He was a leader of the student movement Otpor! that helped topple Serbian president Slobodan Milošević.[1] After briefly pursuing a political career in Serbia, he established the Centre for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategies (CANVAS) in 2003 and published "Blueprint for Revolution" in 2015. CANVAS has worked with pro-democracy activists from more than 50 countries, promoting the use of non-violent resistance in achieving political and social goals.[2]
In October 2017, Srđa Popović was elected Rector of the University of St Andrews, succeeding incumbent Catherine Stihler MEP.[3]
"The Shadow CIA"
The adjacency of CANVAS to US intelligence was exposed in 2011, when leaked emails[4] showed how Popovic worked closely in secret with Stratfor, a private security firm known as "The Shadow CIA".[5]
Among other acts, the emails showed Popovic had covertly passed information to Stratfor about opposition activists in a number of countries, including individuals harmed or killed by the US-armed Bahraini government[6], obtained from the Bahrain Center for Human Rights during the government’s brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protests during the Arab Spring. He also produced a guide[7] for the company on how to unseat Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. As an analyst explained in a May 2010 email:
The main utility in [Popovic] is his ability to connect us to the troublemakers around the world that he is in touch with…The idea is to gather a network of contacts through CANVAS, contacts that we can then contact independently.[8]
In another email, the same analyst noted CANVAS were "still hooked into US funding."[9] He described their mission as, "basically [going] around the world trying to topple dictators and autocratic governments (ones that US does not like)":
They just go and set up shop in a country and try to bring the government down. When used properly, [they’re] more powerful than an aircraft carrier battle group.[9]
