The Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS) is a CIA front group that has trained over 16,000 regime change activists in 52 countries since its founding 2003. It originated out of the Otpor movement that opposed Slobodan Milošević in the late 1990s.[1]

Color revolutions[edit | edit source]

CANVAS's first color revolution was in Georgia in 2003, when it overthrew Eduard Shevardnadze,[1] who had formerly been a leader of the Soviet counterrevolution.[2] The next year, it organized a color revolution in Ukraine. In 2010, it created a plot to overthrow Hugo Chávez.[1]
