The Color Revolution in Our Midst
"America is currently in the midst of a color revolution designed to overthrow our Constitutional form of government. The only way to stop it is awareness.
(This is going to be a lengthy article, but please bear with me because I believe we all need to understand what is happening in the shadows.)
If you are not already aware of the treasure trove* of seditionist materials that @DataRepublican has uncovered, please stop now and review them, or at least listen to this audio describing the seditionist plot in the seditionists’ own words. Please come back to this article after you listen.

Are you back?
Great, thanks.
THAT, friends, is what a color revolution sounds like.
However, if we are all going to fight this rebellion with our own words and deeds, we need the knowledge to be able to spot exactly what the fight looks like. To that end, I am writing this article to educate American patriots on what a color revolution actually is, what its key strategies consist of, and how those strategies relate to what we are seeing being unleashed in the USA today.
What is a Color Revolution?
Wikipedia defines a “color revolution” as follows:
“[Color revolutions] are a series of often non-violent protests and accompanying (attempted or successful) changes of government and society taking place in post-Soviet states (particularly Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan) and the former Yugoslavia during the 21st century. The aim of the color revolutions is to establish Western-style democracies. They were primarily triggered by election results widely viewed as falsified. The color revolutions are marked by the use of the internet as a method of communication, as well as a strong role of non-governmental organizations [(“NGOs”)] in the protests.”
USAID and the CIA were instrumental in fomenting the color revolutions in Serbia (the “Bulldozer Revolution,” 2000), Georgia (the “Rose Revolution,” 2003), Ukraine (the “Orange Revolution,” 2004-2005), Kyrgyzstan (the “Tulip Revolution,” 2005), Lebanon (the “Cedar Revolution”, 2005), Belarus (the “Jeans Revolution,” 2006), Ukraine again (the “Revolution of Dignity,” 2013-2014) and Armenia (the “Velvet Revolution,” 2018). These are only the ones we know about publicly, and there are also suspicions that similar U.S. governmental actions took place in the “Arab Spring” of 2010 to 2012.
While the main government players in all of this on the U.S. side were the CIA and USAID, “non-profit” NGOs like the National Endowment for Democracy (“NED,” directly congressionally funded), the National Democratic Institute (“NDI,” funded by grants from USAID, the Department of State and NED), the International Republican Institute (“IRI,” similarly funded by grants from USAID, the Department of State and NED), Freedom House (also similarly funded by grants from USAID, the Department of State and NED), and a plethora of other NGOs (many funded by George Soros’s infamous Open Society network) have done most of the dirty work.
Understanding the role of NGOs in all of this is crucial—NGOs provide a way for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund foreign policy actions that are difficult to track and often run counter to the intent of a majority of American voters.
These NGOs all have one thing in common—they are all vocally dedicated to “protecting democracy.” However, when examining their track record of fomenting revolution, it’s arguable that many of the regimes they overthrew were, in fact, democratically elected (at least to standards no more corrupt than America’s 2020 Presidential election). This is particularly true with respect to the Revolution of Dignity and the overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically-elected President, Viktor Yanukovych. Far be it for me to uphold ex-Soviet oligarchs, but it appears that the devotion of these NGOs to “democracy” is actually to “democracies we approve of.”
We will come back to the NGOs.
How Do Color Revolutions Work?
There are numerous academic treatises on the features of color revolutions, but my personal research suggests that they rely upon six lines of attack:
1. Funding.
Those U.S. NGOs you see listed above operate by funding other NGOs and individuals inside the targeted nation. Dark U.S. money becomes even darker money inside the targeted nation. These organizations build parallel structures that can operate outside national control and coordinate/sustain protest capacity at a tightly-organized, high level.
2. Training.
The well-funded NGOs and individuals then engage in highly structured activist training programs. Often pyramidal in nature (i.e., “train the trainers”), these programs cover branding, the processing of parallel vote counts, actions that erode the legitimacy of existing governmental institutions and maintaining ostensibly nonviolent discipline to maximize activist legitimacy.
3. Narrative and Symbolism.
The narrative of government illegitimacy must be pushed and repeated over and over and over. Complicit media sources are essential to creating and sustaining this narrative (often with cash changing hands to publish a particular story). Very basic symbolism is also vital. The name “color revolution” itself refers to the use of an inspiring color to unify the activists and present a constant reminder of the surge of activism engulfing the country via clothing, signs and banners—the “Orange Revolution” is a perfect example. Logos, slogans, hashtags and similarly pithy symbolic expressions are essential in delegitimizing the targeted regime and present regime change as the only “democratic” outcome.
4. Electoral Trigger.
A big part of the dark money is used to deploy “independent” election monitors, create fake pre-election polling and fake exit polling, and rapidly publicize perceived “irregularities” to create a clear trigger for mass protests. NGO networks then convert the disputed vote into sustained mass street action. While the architects of color revolutions consistently highlight the “non-violent” nature of their protests, certain groups are designated to engage in covert (i.e., masked) violent action, and other groups are essentially sent to the slaughter in hopes that the government will violently crack down and create martyrs. (Although this name pre-dates color revolutions, such deliberate martyrdom is what I call the “Horst Wessel Strategy.”)
5. Elite pressure.
This is the process of relying on outside agents of high legitimacy to create public statements of support for the protestors and activists, create targeted sanctions or incentives for the current government to step down, and to quietly engage with military, bureaucratic, and business elites in the targeted government. The aim is to isolate the current government internationally and signal that cooperation with the old regime carries higher costs than accommodation with the protesters.
6. Defection of Security Forces and Military.
One of the main purposes of all of the above is to convince a nation’s military and security/police forces that they are a part of an illegitimate regime and that the only moral choice is to defect to the opposition. Ramping up violent protests such that these people must choose between firing on their own countrymen or defecting is a fundamental tenet of color revolutions, supposed “non-violent” practices notwithstanding. In high-trust societies where the military is well-respected, this is perhaps the most important tool in the color revolutionary’s tool box. When the military and police defect, the color revolution is over, and it wins.
These are the tools the U.S. government and its well-funded network of NGOs have been using for decades to foment the overthrow of disfavored national governments, all without approval or knowledge of the electorate. Then Donald Trump dismantled USAID, and it all stopped.
Or did it? All those ex-USAID employees had to go find something to do, and boy oh boy did they ever.
Our American Color Revolution
Hopefully by now you are already seeing the parallels between our overseas color revolutions and what we are seeing and experiencing in the USA in 2026.
USAID? Note how many of the videos and audios that @DataRepublican posted involve ex-USAID employees who know their color revolution toolbox cold.
NGOs? All of the actions @DataRepublican has uncovered involve NGOs with specific, compartmentalized, plausibly deniable roles: the United Democracy Alliance; 50501; Indivisible; National Security Leaders for America (this one is particularly troubling as it has ~1,600 former military, intelligence and State Department officials behind it); and many more. Some are still relying on funding they derived from U.S. taxpayers before President Trump shut it all down. George Soros funds many of them. Foreign power funding? Maybe—money laundering is a thing.
It’s the NGOs.
It’s always the NGOs.
Democracy? Sure, sure, sure. Those NGO plotters are all there to “protect our democracy.” In reality, they are there to overthrow any democratically-elected American they disapprove of, just like happened to some of the democratically-elected regimes we overthrew off our shores. To these people, “democracy” means the right of unelected bureaucrats and well-funded NGOs to control our national destiny. In reality, “democracy” is the very last thing they want.
As to the color revolution toolbox, the similarities to what we are seeing now are simply undeniable:
Funding? Do I even need to explain this one? The NGOs fomenting insurrection in the USA are incredibly well-funded, many by George Soros’ network.
Training? Since 2020 we have seen so many examples of training programs for Antifa and similar groups, all NGO funded. These training programs are designed to train protestors on how to effectively foment civil unrest and, at times, violence. For example, Indivisible’s “One Million Rising” project focuses on training to be able to analyze “pillars of support” for the Trump Administration (business, labor, faith, civil service, law enforcement, etc.) and tactics to weaken them. Specific examples include pressuring local sheriffs not to cooperate with ICE, “Signs of Solidarity” campaigns targeting businesses, and sustained local campaigns against lawful Trump Administration actions. Sign-up language for such training has included “Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump." Indivisible materials state the goal of mobilizing people “to defeat MAGA” and disrupt policy through noncooperation and active protest. (This effort has received up to $7,600,000 in Soros funding, by the way.)
Narrative and Symbolism? Again, do I really need to elaborate? The legacy media cannot report on election integrity without stating that Donald Trump’s complaints about the 2020 election are “baseless.” We are awash in stories about how the Trump Administration’s efforts to ensure election integrity are instead a nefarious plot to steal the midterm elections. Today, the Washington Post—obviously in a hurried and desperate effort to get out in front of the revelations from @DataRepublican—published an anonymously-sourced article favorably describing the coup efforts she uncovered. If you read this article, it does not talk about a coup conspiracy. Instead it talks about a bunch of well-meaning, patriotic, anonymous ex-national security officials simply trying to protect America from the evil dictator Trump destroying “our democracy.” This article itself is straight out of the color revolution toolbox—it is propaganda designed to condition a populace to accept illegitimate actions. The Washington Post is part of the plot. As to symbolism, do “No Kings” and the “Resistance” mean anything to you? Again, these slogans/symbols are straight out of the color revolution toolbox.
Electoral Trigger? When you listen to the videos and audios released by @DataRepublican, the plotters consistently speak of the midterms as being the trigger for action. Again, these ex-USAID diplomats could not possibly speak more clearly in their intent to overthrow the Trump Presidency via the color revolution tactics they learned in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. (Oh yeah, as to the trigger creating useful idiot martyrs, do the names Renée Good and Alex Pretti ring a bell?)
Elite Pressure? While we see European Union nations constantly decrying Trump—which is actually part of the plot—the twist in a domestic color revolution is that the elite pressure will come directly from Democrat governors. The uncovered plot relies on the idea that rampant street protests will result in a crisis in legitimacy via Trump needing to invoke the Insurrection Act, such that Democrat and RINO governors declare themselves the only legitimate U.S. authority, up to and including reaching out to foreign powers for recognition. (Geez, that kind of feels like the Confederacy asking Queen Victoria to acknowledge their sovereignty, doesn’t it?) The final step here will be to overthrow the Constitution as we know it—they said so.
Defection of Security Forces and Military? This is another one I feel like I really do not need to explain. Seditious Six, anyone? This feature of the domestic color revolution has been in plain sight for quite some time. Our nation's survival really depends on this not working. Given the institutional resistance to Department of War reforms from some of the senior military brass and the cabal of senior, unelected bureaucrats in the Senior Executive Service who have trashed their oaths via passive resistance to the electoral will of the American people, this is a real issue of concern. If the plotters can turn some of the generals and bureaucrats actively against their Commander-in-Chief, we are in real trouble. Fortunately, I think this is the weak point of the plot and why it will ultimately fail. Our military ranks are still filled almost totally with patriots who will honor their oath to the Constitution.
The plot is afoot. It’s real. It’s here. A color revolution is currently being attempted in the USA by the same people who so adroitly manipulated the fates of millions of Eastern Europeans and Central Asians some twenty years ago.
What Can We Do?
My X feed is awash with concerned patriots asking this same question. All of us—everyone of us—can do these three things:
1. Pray.
2. Call your Congressman/woman and Senators and demand an investigation. Light up the switchboards. MAKE THEM pay attention.
3. Tell everyone you know. Make them listen to this shocking audio, if nothing else. The time is past caring if midwit Cousin Susie or face tattoo Nephew Timmy will cut you off because you support our President. Make them listen. The time is late. Our nation and our freedoms are at risk.
One more thing—for some of us, the answer is to be prepared. Most of you know what I mean, I’ll leave it there.
This modern American Gunpowder Plot cannot and will not succeed.
*In case you doubt the veracity of @DataRepublican's materials, here is how she obtained them. Some doofus involved in the plot used an AI agent to record and archive everything that went on, all the way back to 2023, and them stupidly let the agent archive them in a publicly available Google Drive. DR got a tip as to the URL. Further, the man President Trump appointed to play a key role in USAID and shut it down (Pete Marocco) publicly vouched for their authenticity. Here is the link where he said so.

There Was a Secret Coup Plan but then Elissa Slotkin Opened Her Big Mouth
The Federalist–
Slotkin Doubles Down On Threat To Destroy Young GOP Staffers:
Slotkin has a history of calling to jail her political enemies.
Last week, Slotkin said she wanted a tacit threat of personal and professional ruin for any young conservative contemplating working for the Trump administration, stating, “I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him. I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity.’ I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that.’ I want that deterrence message.”
After she got caught, the CIA Gun Moll tried to clean it up:
"And all I said was that if you've done something illegal, if you've used the government inappropriately and against the law, you should be held accountable.”
That’s a bald-faced lie from a dirty Nazi Skank.
Frau Blucher said young staffers should be given the full-Gestapo treatment for daring to go to work for a duly-three-elected President of the United States.
Like the rest of her Drug and Child Trafficking CIA Election Thieves, she believes in One-Party Rule.
And you’re not in it.
But they are:
“Children of the Same Foul Spirit”
