One other thing about the American Color Revolution.
I'm hearing a lot of very sober conservatives saying that there is no there there in the various videos from the @DataRepublican drops, and that these people are LARPers fantasizing about events that can never, ever happen in the USA.
I have two rebuttals to that sentiment:
1. These are serious people. Ex-USAID employees. Admirals and generals. Ex-State Department. Ex-CIA. Big donors. While some of them may look like goofy LARPers on Zoom, IRL they are serious, highly credentialed leftists with skills, education and experience that should not be taken lightly.
2. Underestimate these people at your own peril. "They could never pull this off in the USA!" Oh really? Exhibit A that they absolutely could pull something this extreme off is how they crippled the Trump 45 Presidency with a totally fake, totally fabricated "Trump/Russia Collusion" hoax, a hoax that started at the Oval Office of Mr. Community Organizer himself, Barack Obama.
Do not underestimate these plotters, please.
I just came across this in an Open Society Foundations document about how to fix public “mistrust” of liberal "democracy," and I honestly feel sick reading it. I've read many alarming quotes, but few are so "mask off" like this.
"I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate… can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections—will be able to justify public trust and spearhead... our struggle to survive.""
Read that again. The proposed solution to the public's distrust in democracy... is less democracy.
An unelected "elite" to whom the public should cede sovereignty.
Abolish democracy to save democracy. This kind of thinking is what we're up against.

The image of the person deciding the future of the United States. (Yeah... I don't remember electing her either.)
Say "Hello" to Danielle M. Reiff: Retired U.S. diplomat who spent roughly 20 years with USAID. She and her friends know better than you about how the country should be run.
You better get to know her and pay attention to what she and her comrades are doing.
🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution "how-to" 🚨🚨
His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis.
The day after Trump's 2016 election, Cash co-founded "The Steady State" — a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an "existential threat".
When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden's DHS. His own words: "we disappeared."
Then Trump won again. "Suddenly the existential threat was back." The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends "Bringing Down a Dictator" — the Otpor documentary about toppling Milošević — as "a how-to."
Meanwhile, Cash's company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration — our nuclear weapons program — justified because "disclosure would compromise national security."
His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active.
I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
It’s not every day you stumble across a recording in which U.S. citizens discuss plans to declare the federal government illegitimate.
Here’s one particularly alarming excerpt:
“If the federal government’s deemed to be illegitimate … then the governors become the leading governing authority under the current republic framework of our Constitution.”
And then there’s this one:
“I really want to emphasize this is not a concept for a secession. No one is talking about leaving the United States.”
Of course they’re not “talking about leaving the United States”; they’re talking about a planned transfer of governing authority outside the constitutional process—replacing the authority of the federal government with governors and outside networks.
I hope this turns out to be a deep fake or a bad practical joke—because if it’s real, it’s unbelievably frightening.
Either way, it’s a good reminder to vote carefully in November.
Every American needs to be aware of what @DataRepublican has uncovered👇🏻
The media cartel may ignore or minimize it, but the American people must not be kept in the dark on something like this
@X gives us the ability to spread the word, even if the media cartel refuses to do so
🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 1: THE PLAN 🚨
I am working on gathering all the documents.
Now, here's something to understand about the "democracy" and protest ecosystem: almost nobody knows the 'grand plan' so to speak. They simply agree to play a role.
For example, 99% of people breaking stuff on the streets believe they're doing it out of an organic uprising. They don't see that the police have been ordered to stand down. They don't see that legal services have already been arranged for them. They don't see that foundations are paying for their bonds.
Similarly here, governors aren't participating in a pact to destroy the Constitution. Governors simply have agreed to push back on the Insurrection Act. The effect is the same: the governors end up playing a role in a grander plan.
I call this "shared epistemology" in my book Unelected. Motivations differ, people rarely agree to the big evil supervillain framing, but incentives all converge in the same end goal.
No Kings might not agree to explicitly tear down the Constitution, but they nonetheless work with DSA and will turn out millions of people if the right phone call is put in.
Here is one articulation of the plan - and crucially, since then, they have put many NGOs in their places to execute their proper role at all levels when the time is right.
Many more coming.
