The thing is ... they could launch a barrage of fireworks into the sky ... find some old footage of bombed buildings... put it all together ... and claim there is a war...
The Rent-A-Protest racket honestly demands that the BarnYardAnimals be unaware that they are being farmed out: they must be fanatic, earnest, sincere and ready to step in front of a moving 3000-pound car to make their ... errh ... what was their point anyhoo <squissshhh>
You need the inspiration of a stampede, where any herd animal who does not go along with the "protest" is trampled and left behind for the coyotes and vultures (clean-up crew).

No passion, no emotion, just doing a hard job, slathered in blood'n'guts.
I propose to travel to Taiwan, where there are hundreds of entrepreneurial electronics makers, and see who would like to manufacture and market a tiny-but-powerful EMP generator, something like a joy buzzer in the pocket of an innocent bystander, one which would go off silently - and instantly fritz out all the cameras, bullhorns, car ignitions, cell phones - whatever has a chip in it, sending them permanently O.N...T.H.E...B.L.I.N.K. Fun times all around.
