If you want to know the key mechanism of a Color Revolution, here's an analogy. It's kind of like hyperinflation. Hyperinflation is not just really bad inflation, it's the complete loss of faith and legitimacy of a currency, resulting in a currency collapse. No one wants to accept that currency as a form of payment. The people reject it, and want to be paid with something else. Color Revolutions work in the same way. The decisive phase is not the mass protests, it's the complete loss of faith and legitimacy of a government. Too few citizens support the government to sustain the leader staying in power. Once his support disappears, so will he. The mass protests, propaganda, and elite defection are the contributing factors to the "hyperinflationary" collapse of a government. The Color Revolution's job is to whittle that support and legitimacy away until the government collapses. The government's job is to defend its legitimacy and maintain enough support to stay in power. That's the ballgame. On Tuesday, October 27th at 7pm Central, I'm holding a Space here on X with some friends of mine to explain how to defeat Color Revolutions. Join us and we will tell you exactly what average, patriotic, God-fearing Americans can do to save their country. xitter.cf/i/spaces/1dKrPrX…

It's going to take more than voting to win, but winning is a hell of a lot harder when your people are not in charge. Get out and vote!
ALERT: Republicans are now ahead of Democrats in mail-in and early in-person votes cast in Texas, according to NBC News.

Back in 2017, I read a book called How Democracies Die. Despite being authored by two left wing professors, it's a very, very good book. The book is about how (mostly) populist movements kill democratic systems. The overwhelming majority of the book covers how right wing movements topple democracies. It's very well researched and cited, and I enjoyed reading it immensely. But as I read through all the examples, I couldn't help but wonder: why in the world did these right wing movements wake up one day and decide to destroy these supposedly perfectly stable societies? It just didn't make sense. So after I finished the book, I made a list of ten examples in the book to research. The first thing I found is that these right wing movements were reacting to something. That's why they're called reactionary movements. And what were they reacting to? Socialist or communist movements. In EVERY SINGLE CASE*, the right wing movement arose in direct response to the rise of a violent socialist or communist movement. It's an immune reaction. In EVERY SINGLE CASE*, the socialist or communist movement had either already taken power or was threatening to and, in the latter cases, the right wing movements that took power simply beat the communists to the punch. The Right took power before the communists did. That's it. That's literally all you need to know about why and how right wing movements take power. That's how your vaunted democracies die. Not because right wingers wake up one day and, for no reason at all, decide to take power, but because the Far Left threatened to do it first. What Joel Berry and James Lindsay and all the others should understand (if they don't already), is that if you want to stop the so-called "Woke Right" then the real enemy is the Woke Left. There is no right wing immune response if there's no cancerous Far Left movement threatening to destroy their country. There is no reactionary movement if there's nothing to react to. Why, then, do they spend SO MUCH TIME antagonizing the populist right wing? And why does Joel Berry keep posting these absolute dog shit takes that actually illustrate the point of his opposition? Is his IQ actually 300 instead of 30? Inquiring minds want to know. (*One claimed exception is right-wing Imperial Japan, which did not start as an outgrowth of opposition to communism, but a reaction to the coercive influence of Western imperialism. Once the right-wing imperial system was adopted, Japan did suppress socialist and communist movement, and passed laws that effectively banned both. I don't believe Japan is an exception, but some ACKSHUALLY reply guy might bring it up, and here's your sign.)

These are wise words. And it means we must organize in opposition to the Islamo-Marxist revolutionaries.
Following the latest disclosures from @DataRepublican, I see many conservative and right wing influencers saying that the way to defeat a Color Revolution is through public awareness. Color Revolutions don't depend on secrecy. It's a form of POPULAR revolution, meaning they need the masses on board. IT'S NO SECRET. Defeating secrecy helps us understand the threat, but that alone will NOT stop what's coming. Color Revolutions run on ORGANIZATION. It's not the secrecy that matters, it's the connective tissue of people, money, and strategy that force a decisive phase and tipping point. So it's the organization -- the act of getting individuals organized into groups that can be mobilized -- that you have to target. And you do that through counter-organization. REMEMBER: The crux of ALL revolutionary and counter-revolutionary strategy is to organize yourself and disorganize your opponents. The Viet Minh perfected this strategy with what they called Dau Tranh, or struggle or political struggle. It had three lines of effort, two of which are of supreme importance: Action among your own people. The total mobilization of propaganda, motivational, and organizational measures to build, organize, and sustain yourself. Action among the enemy’s people. The total propaganda effort to sow discontent, defeatism, dissent, and disloyalty among the enemy’s population. Organize yourself and disorganize your opponents. That's the strategy to win. That's how you defeat an organized effort to topple a government. The side that is better organized and wins greater support is going to win. Next Tuesday night, I will livestream and hold a Spaces here to discuss this in greater detail and provide a path to defeating this burgeoning Color Revolution movement. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I will die on this hill: if you want Trump to brute force his way to break a Color Revolution, you expect him to arrest or kill millions of people. Trump is not that guy, pal. He’s not that guy.

I get where you're coming from, but that doesn't address the movement. You have to dissolve the movement, not just decapitate the planners. There are many, many reasons why, and I would love to have this discussion with you.

The way to stop a color Revolution is probably with brutal enforcement action through the executive branch which Trump controls.

America is not at outright war with itself, but we're definitely not at peace with ourselves, either. This is the gray zone between war and peace, and we may be stuck here for a long time. This is why developing influence, moral authority, and other soft power is so important.

Mike is renowned in intelligence and is recognized as the go-to guy in low intensity conflict by highly informed civilians, businesses, and government. He even wrote the daily intel brief for General Petraeus during the Iraq war. You want to listen to what he has to say about Color Revolutions.
