| Former Special Forces Officer Warns of Color Revolution Tactics Used Against Trump |
| 2020-12-11 |
| [ET] Color revolution tactics that have been used against foreign leaders are now being used by President Donald Trump’s opponents to oust him, a former special forces officer has warned. "A color revolution is a tactic to affect regime change," the officer, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Epoch Times. "What I see happening is a Marxist insurgency that’s using a color revolution to affect regime change." The 2019 Transition Integrity Project, according to the officer, is an indicator that the events of this year’s presidential election were "transparently orchestrated" by "Marxist elements within the Democratic Party and their Marxist allies in foreign governments." "It may not have fallen out just as they wanted, because anytime you carry out an operation like this, the enemy will get a vote. But the plan was we will not concede the election. The goal here was never the presidency," the officer said. "The goal of the opposition was to fundamentally change the country. They are attacking the efficacy of the Constitution." To achieve their goal, the anti-Trump opposition focused their main effort on affecting the election, the officer said. Some of the most notable color revolutions took place amid turmoil sparked by disputed elections. In 2004, mass protests in Ukraine following allegations of a fraudulent presidential election, which initially showed pro-Russia Viktor Yanukovych as the winner, led to a new vote won by Viktor Yushchenko, the candidate backed by the European Union and the United States. The officer said the tactics used by the anti-Trump opposition can be found in the Special Forces’ guide for overthrowing a government. "What you’re getting from me, this is supported in all older unconventional warfare doctrines," the officer said. "You could go to our manuals and pull from them the information I’m telling you. This isn’t from someone who’s a rabid Trump supporter. This is what’s happening." The officer then talked about how President Barack Obama used his eight years in office to "seed his political allies all through the institutions," created an "underground" or "shadow government" supported by legacy media and rioters. "With the president being unable to get his own people into the administration, we effectively had a third administration of Obama," the officer said. "So we come to what we have today: The underground are the elements within the government. We saw how they opposed the president, how they tried the impeachment." "The press is the auxiliary on the outside. The only thing we’re missing is a real guerrilla force, and we would be mistaken to think that’s just Antifa or Black Lives Matter. There are professional revolutionaries within those movements." |

| #8 I have to say; to theorize in hindsight is easy. What about the markers of a complete putsch that we can see now, even from oceans away? A re-configuration of race, class and industrial relations into something resembling a banana republic, with China flunkies as leaders. We've seen it done to lesser nations, shitholes with shanties, so the scale is difficult to imagine, but superimpose the model on what's happening. But so called 'lesser evolved' societies have one right which no amount of western theories of legalist propriety have been able to strip them of. They don't capitulate, they fight tooth and nail first. At what time does the counter-revolution start? Can it start? Who will it hit, with all the 'you can't kill this guy or that girl or this thing'? Are the targets even identified, the 'trained marxists' who coordinate and mobilize? Or will people stop short of waving their fists in faces and stomping around, still trusting in constitutionalism. What was that about the 'tree of liberty... the blood of...'? The less and less liberty in a polity, even to the point of having to hide your affiliations to be safe, means there's just not enough blood flowing. Forgive me for my ugly questions, you can say 'What's it got to do wit' you?'; but somebody must ask them. |

| #7 Wonder how well the Soviet Revolution would have gone if half the citizens had firearms, and a large number of them had lots of experience using them. |

Well, the first part is familiar. Are Americans too comfortable to complete the second part? |

| #2 Page 171: D. Democracy Promotion Regime Change This section describes a purpose for supporting resistance that is very likely to find more examples in the future, as it involves providing support to either armed resistance or nonviolent civil resistance movements representing populations seeking self-determination. |
