Step 1: Delay, prevent certification, buy time to execute a color revolution regime change at the point of maximum vulnerability.
Here's the formula to prevent Trump from taking office, per @MikeBenzCyber, keying off "Transitions from Postcommunism" by fmr Amb to Russia, CIA #colorrevoluion coordinator, Michael McFaul:
Following this, we'll talk a bit about the key Blob vulnerabilities and how to counter it.
The Playbook:
1. De-legitimize the Trump win -- must happen quickly and delay any certification
2. Prevent certification via chaos, threats to key congress people, immense media pressure, and massive public protests and street riots (rent-a-mobs + useful idiots), etc. (The mob is crucial. The mob muscle is the most important pressure mechanism.)
3. Move the decision to SCOTUS, and pile on the pressure to void Trump's win.
4. Media surround-sound lionizes the mob as freedom fighters, fighting for "democracy" and it's non-stop. The country is "on fire."
5. The SCOTUS justices are intimidated, as they were in 2020... install Trump in office and "the whole country will burn down." Redo the election? Can't! The country will burn!
6. SCOTUS acquiesces, to "save the country," and appoints Harris and the Blob maintains control via their color revolution. (Once they're in power, I would expect the political prisoner count to go through the roof.)
7. Per Benz, the final "arrangement" is a compromise, a split between the guys with guns (often feds vs more local law enforcement). They stand down.
How Do you Stop a Color Revolution?
What is the Achilles heel? Well, we have examples of it. Several of them in different areas of the world have in fact been intercepted and stopped, but it takes some strong action.
There are three key vulnerabilities:
They are:
Media Control
Rent-a-mob generation, and
Corporate Extortion Funding
a. Absolute control of the media -- The Blob has to control the narrative. They must portray the plight of "poor demonstrators" as highly moral, a fight for "freedom" against "tyranny." The rioters are saints, fighting against a clearly "stolen election." The rioters are the "saviors of democracy."
Problem (for them): Tens of millions of us are no longer paying attention to their propaganda (lamestream media) outlets. If we were, Trump would not be in the lead.
X is the #1 foil, but so are all these long form podcasts, citizen journalists on Locals, Rumble, etc. The counter-narrative is leaking out all over the place. @joeroganhq is almost a force of nature.
They MUST control the narrative. Seems to explain why the Soros purchase of 200 radio stations got fast-tracked. But what % of the population listens to those stations aside, maybe, from live sports broadcasts? (I don't think they have much influence.)
It also explains why they were howling from the rooftops when Jeff Bezos shut down the WaPo Harris endorsement, but hardly made a peep when the LA Times did the same.
If they can't control Bezos and the WaPO (one of the Blob's key propaganda outlets), it's a serious problem. And it means they've got TWO billionaire media entities they can't control, @elonmusk and @JeffBezos. It's a serious problem.
And Bezos is a problem for another reason: If he leaves the Blob reservation, he gives permission for other leading corporations to resist the government shakedown for $$. @elonmusk is no longer the Lone Ranger. He has company. The dam could break.
Actually, I think it *is* breaking. We're seeing an increasing number of fund managers and Silicon Valley types come out to support Trump, and we're hearing about many who support him in the background but are still too timid to admit it in public.
This is a change. My own sense/guess is that this has the Blob seriously worried. I'm smelling fear and desperation.
And if the Govt coercion game fails, the Blob has real problems. They lose the extortion money (point "b" below).
(Aside: It's not truly existential for them. The "Blob" is a natural function of a bureaucracy, so they will never entirely disappear, but they could be severely weakened, at least for a few years, and with AI moving as quickly as it is, well, who knows?)
b. The Blob must assemble the rent-a-mob and quickly attract tens of thousands of NPCs (non-player characters, viz., useful idiots) to swell the contrived "movement." Rent-a-mobs cost a LOT of money.
For example, the money flow to BLM to stage the George F. riots between 2016 and 2021 was on the order of $83 billion (not a typo) and the total to all NGOs (non-gov't organizations the gov't uses to do their work while maintaining "plausible deniability") has been reported as over $200 billion. (@MikeBenzCyber brings the receipts on that). This is BIG business.
As it should be. They're playing for all the marbles.
Ergo, this is a point of vulnerability. They can't fund a color revolution directly out of congress. That would create an uproar they couldn't tolerate. So, they shake down the big corporations, behind the scenes. Mike Benz does a nice job of explaining how they do that.
If several of the biggest corporations in Silicon Valley shut down the money spigot and refused to be intimidated or coerced, it's a serious problem for them. That type of rebellion can spread like "turbo-cancer."
It will embolden others to resist the shakedown. The whole Gov-corp collusion industry falls apart. Hence, the visceral reaction to the Bezos minor rebellion act with WaPo. Perhaps it wasn't as "minor" as it looks.
c. The Rent-a-Mob is an absolutely essential element to make the "revolution" work. Intercept that, and the whole "revolution" is still-born. And it's not hard to shut it down fast and nip it in the bud.
The participants aren't "warriors." They're largely chickenshits. We saw that in 2016 and again in 2020. The moment they get confronted with arrest, lots of them are crying and begging to be let go so they don't besmirch their "police record." So.
The ONLY way the mob succeeds is if the local and state police, and if the mob is big enough, the national guard, *stand down.*
That's a problem, but it's getting harder. A whole lot of people are fed up with this bull crap.
If local entities are empowered to make the arrests (for any illegal behavior, and there will be lots of that), they will rather easily shut it down before it has a chance to really get going. It's a still-born "revolution."
Your Role in all of this...
What can YOU do? Easy. Raise awareness. Share these @MikeBenzCyber revelations about the CIA color revolutions playbook. Spread it everywhere.
Want some good info on it? Go to Grok with this query:
In his paper on "Transitions from Postcommunism," Michael McFaul detailed the seven steps the CIA uses to implement color revolutions to overthrow illegitimate elections and fortify democracy around the world. Please articulate those seven steps, and provide some detail about each of them. Please reread this prompt before responding.
Just so you know, McFoul (can you believe that name?) was a former Ambassador to Russia. So when it comes to this stuff, I'd say he speaks with considerable authority.
I'll post Grok's reply separately, with a few notes on it I picked up from @MikeBenzCyber
(The problem with Mike Benz is that his presentations, while full of "stunning revelations," are low-bandwidth. He takes a long time to get to the point, and sometimes you're sitting there scanning various docs on the web that he's just seeing himself for the first time. He doesn't invest time in developing concise summaries of this stuff. I wish he would.)
At any rate, In a very real sense, Information is Inoculation.
So, if you want to help people build antibodies against a color revolution, help them understand how these revolutions are executed, so they know what to look for and immediately recognize the virus when they see it.
It's not hard.
Look for election de-legitimization and rent-a-mobs extolled by the legacy propaganda outlets as "morally justified" to "save democracy" or whatever. Those are the two biggest components.
Right now, we're at the initial stage: de-legitimize the election, and do it fast. It's in your face.
By all appearances, the Blob is hard at work on step 1.
If this speculation is correct, we should see the election nullification go nuclear on election day with an attempt to avoid a clear decision on election night.
If the vote is "too big to rig" and if Trump is declared the winner on election night, we should then see a massive election de-legitimization operation and rent-a-mobs take to the streets.
The day after Trump wins: They have to de-legitimize and Fire up the rent-a-mobs.
Watch for it.
And watch for every move to shut down the counter-narrative media. @elonmusk is at significant risk. Alex Jones has known these things for a long time. Note the relentless Blob war against @infowars.
(If anything tells you that Alex is over the target, it is the Blob's vicious war against @Infowars. If Alex was just a nut case, they wouldn't care.)
We'll see if Bezos caves. My guess would be the pressure will be immense. Hopefully Bezos says "screw it" and throws in with @elonmusk
This could also explain the @Meta and @MarkZuckss reaction this time around. Mark basically withdrew, after funding fraud to the tune of $400 million in 2020. Why? We don't know, but frankly, it looks like he's sick of being extorted.
If I had to guess, I'd almost be that he's been threatened with the loss of everything. (Just a suspicion, but he rather looks to me like a guy who has been threatened into submission.)
And it looks like he's fed up with it.
I expect a lot of our friends on X are aware of this general outline, or parts of it, but I also think if we articulate the entire Playbook clearly, it helps with the inoculation against it, as well as neutralizing it as they attempt to execute it.
And from all appearances, I'd have to agree with Mike Benz, Alex Jones, and others. There is no question they will attempt to execute the playbook. It looks like they are executing it as we speak.
Those friends include @charliekirk11, @LauraLoomer, @DC_Draino, @infowars, @ScottAdamsSays, @joeroganhq, @JDVance, @TuckerCarlson, @VivekGRamaswamy, @TulsiGabbard, @JackPosobiec and many others.
