The Color Revolution Playbook. What is the Blob’s Strategy During/After this Election

Start at Min 5 . . . then see below.

Excellent Summary of Mike Benz by Robert Randanon (@Randanon5):

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

    1. 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."

Sticks and Stones, Redux

What words are "violence" and who gets to decide? This claim that words are violence is the flip side of the widespread embrace of censorship by those on the political left. They don't foresee that someday the political winds will change and this exaggerated empathy for those "hurt" by words will be turned against them by a ruthless right-wing authoritarian.

Our Private Selves and our Public Selves

I've repeatedly seen that many people lack the courage to publicly say what they believe. They either stay silent on critically important issues or they pretend to align themselves with a prominent tribe in public discourse. Those who who speak their minds even occasionally pay the price in the West, where cancel culture has been honed to a high art form. This immense problem has been described and diagnosed by The Canceling of the American Mind, by Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott.

Here's the data:

I am horrified by these statistics because of the deep and somewhat subconscious interplay that exists between our public side and our private thoughts. When we get into the habit of publicly pretending we are someone else, we corrupt our capacity to learn and grow organically and authentically. We become our public silence and lies.

Hannah Arendt was concerned about the long term effect of a dishonest society:

The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie—a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days—but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.
What is the solution? Speaking up even though you know that you'll be snarled at. Most of us will live to see another day. Most of us won't lose our jobs or lives, even though we will lose some of the people we considered our friends. We will gain new, more honest and forthright, friends. And you are probably not alone with regard to your position on most issues. Consider these additional statistics:

People privately agree on most issues.

For two-thirds of the sensitive issues studied (43 of 64), ranging from abortion rights and school choice to legal immigration and voter ID requirements, 90% of demographic groups are privately on the same side of the issues.

Men and women have similar views.

A majority of men and women are on the same side of 57 of the 64 sensitive issues in this study.
