Line 188: − <!--==U.S. Color Revolution==+ − [[File:Mcfaul-russian-lawyer-veselnitskaya.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|Russian lawyer [[Natalia Veselnitskaya]] (seated behind) was a guest of U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul at the House Foreign Affairs Committee, June 14, 2016, five days after the [[Glenn_Simpson#Trump_Tower_meeting|Trump Tower meeting]] with [[Donald Trump Jr]].]] − :{{See also|Color revolution}} − In the early 2000s, Obama [[apparatchik]] [[Michael McFaul]] studied the so-called color revolutions in the former states of the [[Soviet Union]]. McFaul identified the seven elements of successful [[revolution]]s in these countries.<ref>https://www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/transitions-from-postcommunism/</ref> Reporting from [[far left]] ''[[The Atlantic]]'' and ''[[The New York Times]]'' fits into step number seven. Both publications ran stories highlighting racial, gender, and sexual orientation divisions in the military in early September 2020.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/09/womens-military-friendships-are-unique-and-special/615991/</ref><ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/31/us/politics/marines-race-general.html</ref> − 1.) The first element of a successful color revolution, according to McFaul, is a semi-autocratic rather than fully-autocratic regime. This narrative about [[President Trump]] has been pervasive in the [[liberal media]] and echoed by prominent [[Democrat]]s since before he was elected. Despite all evidence to the contrary, President Trump is consistently painted as walking the line between [[constitutional]] order and [[authoritarianism]]. Over the Summer of 2020, Democrats and the [[fake news]] media resurfaced the narrative that President Trump will not accept the [[2020 presidential election]] results if [[Joe Biden]] wins.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2020/08/11/trump-november-2020-election/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/27/heres-how-prepare-trump-rejecting-election-results-november/</ref> They assert that he will refuse to concede and will have to be forced out of the [[White House]] if he loses the election. + + + + − 2.) According to McFaul, the second requirement is 'an unpopular incumbent'. [[The left]] uses [[identity politics]] to try and make President Trump unpopular with specific constituencies. "Peaceful Protests" are used to create an illusion there are hordes of citizens who oppose President Trump. The fake news [[mainstream media]] and Democrats try to frame the riots as “Trump’s America,” despite all the evidence the [[riot]]s are supported by Democrats in power and even financially supported by members of the [[2020 Biden campaign]].<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-minneapolis-police-biden-bail/biden-staff-donate-to-group-that-pays-bail-in-riot-torn-minneapolis-idUSKBN2360SZ</ref>+ − + − 3.) A third requirement, according to McFaul, is a united and organized opposition. The opposition has a name. The [[NeverTrump Resistance]] started shortly after the [[2016 presidential election]]. Using the hashtag or the phrase is a way to signal you are on the team. Any group can join the broader movement and oppose the president on their own terms. Poorly weighted polls were pushed out by corporate media outlets after the conventions that either oversample specific populations or survey all adults rather than likely voters or registered voters.+ − 4.) McFaul says the fourth ingredient in a successful color revolution is an ability to quickly drive home the point that voting results were falsified. Democrats are setting up 2020 so that either side can make this claim. It has been reported that between 2012 and 2018, at least one in five mail-in ballots went missing in elections nationwide.<ref>https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/04/24/28_million_mail-in_ballots_went_missing_in_last_four_elections_143033.html#!</ref> Democrats are counting on this, and it is why they are pushing so hard for it. When a large number of mail-in votes are missing or thrown out for technical reasons, Democrats will scream disenfranchisement. Yet, Democrats are the ones who set up their own voters to be disenfranchised by pushing COVID-19 panic porn.+ + + − This chaos impacts the way elections typically proceeds as required by [[law]]. Local election results will be challenged in court nationwide, and it will make the Florida Recount controversy in ''[[Bush v. Gore]]'' look like child’s play. Results will be delayed for weeks and threaten the deadlines to confirm results at the state level. According to one analysis in ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'', entire states could be disenfranchised.<ref>https://archive.is/wYesw</ref> Democrats and their allies in the media are willing to destroy faith in a safe and fair election that leads to the peaceful transfer of power the United States has relied on for more than two centuries. These are the lengths they will go to in order to gain power. They pushed mail-in voting despite health experts saying in-person voting is safe.+ − [[File:Atkisson tweet.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|Sharyl Attkisson tweet.]] − 5.) Number five is having enough independent media to inform citizens about the falsified vote. As [[Ben Shapiro]] noted, the media is simply the PR wing for the Biden campaign.<ref>https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1301949370288414720</ref> [[Sharyl Attkisson]] went a step further and outlined the current information operation regarding the military: − Democrat operatives, including [[John Podesta]], did an election war game. The results were published in ''The Washington Post'', and it advanced the idea that the only way to avoid violence is a Biden landslide. It also laid out the Democrats’ response to a loss in 2020, which included having [[California]], [[Oregon]], and [[Washington]] secede from the United States. Then they would wait to see how the [[military]] responded. − + − 6.) McFaul notes, a political opposition capable of mobilizing tens of thousands or more demonstrators to protest electoral fraud is necessary. + − The [[DNC]] partners with two organizations,<ref>https://medium.com/powering-progressive-movements/action-network-partners-with-the-dnc-to-build-sustainable-tech-infrastructure-for-progressives-2f13d1e4199b</ref> [[Act Blue]] and [[Action Network]], who are allied with one another.<ref>https://medium.com/powering-progressive-movements/optimize-your-fundraising-with-the-new-and-greatly-expanded-actblue-sync-f568d8a03ad0</ref> Together these platforms allow [[progressive]] groups, including [[antifa]],<ref>https://noqreport.com/2020/07/19/action-network-bonds-antifa-blm-riots-and-dnc-at-the-hip/</ref> to raise money and organize protests electronically. It gives progressive activist groups the ability to privately and quickly communicate with members of their mailing lists. There is even a degree of list-sharing between the groups. From Action Network’s announcement of the DNC partnership: − {{quotebox|We had hoped to announce our partnership with the DNC under much different circumstances, but now, facing an unprecedented crisis that has forced us all to move our [[community organizing|organizing]] from in-person to digital, our partnership to build robust, safe, and trusted technology for the movement is more important than ever. − − As COVID-19 affects our collective communities and changes the world around us by the hour, we are working to be as responsive as possible to the needs of you, our partners, and your communities. For months now, in partnership with the DNC and through our non-profit, cooperative development model, we’ve been doubling down on our efforts to make sure the Action Network toolset can be there every moment to get your communications in people’s inboxes quickly and effectively.}} − Democrat leaders have openly endorsed the riots and encouraged violence. The radicals in the street have openly supported violence and actively call for a revolution.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/stacey-lennox/2020/08/29/flashback-democrat-leaders-encouraging-violence-beginning-with-barack-obama-n863918</ref> − − 7.) The last requirement McFaul lists is divisions among the regimes’ coercive forces. This element is the most dangerous and sinister one on the list. It has also been going on for four years. The [[intelligence community]] and federal [[law enforcement]] apparatus were weaponized against President Trump before the 2016 election.<ref>http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51571.htm</ref> Leaks from these agencies have been constant and divisive. − − The September 2020 ''Atlantic'' disinformation piece was meant to diminish President Trump with the troops. [[Eric Ciaramella]] and [[Alexander Vindman]] are likely two of the anonymous sources.<ref>https://youtu.be/wqSRimjtXT4</ref> As noted in the war game, Democrats will take drastic action in the case of a loss and wait to see what the military does. This disgusting narrative is meant to encourage them to prefer Biden. Democrats are actually willing to try and politicize the military, a despicable move, to gain power. − − '''Biden Putsch''' − [[File:Stalin-140508 27880t.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." - [[Joseph Stalin]]<ref>https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/joseph_stalin_109571</ref>]] − 2020 Democratic presidential candidate [[Joseph Robinette Biden]] openly hinted at intent to commit [[treason]] and insurrection, with aid from the Democrat Party, by claiming that four former joint chiefs of staff are ready to act,<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/colin-powell-s-criticism-means-four-ex-chairmen-joint-chiefs-n1227101</ref> referring to four ''former'' chairmen of the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff]] and now retired generals and admirals — Retired Navy Admiral [[Mike Mullen]], Retired Army General Martin Dempsey, Retired Air Force General Richard Myers, and Retired Army General [[Colin Powell]] — who have publicly criticized Trump’s notice that he may use federal troops to quell the [[Leftist insurrection]] if necessary, protect lives, and restore calm. − − Biden suggested that retired generals who publicly criticized the current elected president may be pressed into action by Biden to enforce the results of an election. Biden seemed to suggest that Biden can decide if Trump could only be reelected illegitimately. He apparently believes he has the support of the military, active and retired, to depose Trump. As disclosures mounted that outgoing [[Vice President]] Biden himself in 2017 thought that he and his administration had a right to surveil the [[2016 Trump campaign]] and [[Trump transition]]. Biden himself requested the unmasking of an American citizen in subsequent intelligence transcripts; the name had been redacted and was then [[illegal]]ly [[leak]]ed to the press. Biden was part of an Obama team that approved spying on [[General Michael Flynn]], Trump’s designated [[national security adviser]] — all justified on the notion of “[[Russian collusion]]” that at that time had already been debunked by the [[Obama administration]]’s own [[FBI]]. − − Regulations prohibit retired generals and admirals from disparaging the current [[commander in chief]]. The relevant regulations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice are more explicit about what constitutes clearly unacceptable behavior for retired generals still receiving government pay and perks.<ref>http://archive.is/Bh1GI</ref> − − In 1992 [[President George H.W. Bush]] characterized the riots in [[Los Angeles]] over the beating of Rodney King as mob-like: − {{quotebox-float|“What we saw last night and the night before in Los Angeles is not about civil rights. . . . It’s not a message of protest. It’s been the brutality of a mob, pure and simple.”}} − As commander in chief, Bush ordered 4,500 [[Marine]] combat troops into the city to quell the [[violence]]. And he added of the order, {{quotebox|“[[Federal]] effort will not be driven by mob violence, but by respect for [[due process]] and [[law]].”}} − At the time of the 1992 riots, Bush’s chairman of the joint chiefs, who oversaw the dispatch of the federal Marines into Los Angeles, was General Colin Powell. Powell, who now criticized Trump for even considering the use federal troops, reportedly told Bush of his request for federal troops to quell a domestic disturbance, “All you’ve got to do is say it.” − − For the first time in modern memory, lots of media venues and essayists have openly discussed the possibility that the President Trump might be the object of a [[coup]], warnings issued both prior to and after President Trump’s election, from both [[American]]s and foreign observers, and then again in reaction to [[political]]ly [[partisan]] declarations of disdain from the retired generals and admirals. They made no specific charges that the president had violated the [[Constitution]] while daily more evidence surfaced of the Obama administration’s efforts to [[sabotage]] a campaign, a presidential transition, and the early months of the new [[Trump administration]]. − − It is not just retired military officers who voice barely veiled concerns that Trump is beyond the pale and has wrecked the Constitution and should leave “the sooner, the better” (as retired admiral William McRaven put it in 2019). High-ranking intelligence and investigatory officials under the guise of constitutionalism have deemed Donald Trump and his administration, at least in their own individual exalted estimations, existential threats that require extra-constitutional means to defeat. − − Rarely have the former head of the CIA ([[John Brennan]]), the top echelon of the FBI ([[James Comey]] and [[Andrew McCabe]]), and the former director of national intelligence ([[James Clapper]]) — none of them elected officials — become the subject of criminal investigations by federal attorneys for a number of possible federal crimes, whose essence was aborting a presidential transition and later a presidency. − − In 2018, the retired director of the CIA tweeted of the President, in the larger context of [[Russian collusion hoax|the now repudiated Russian hoax]] and, in particular, the firing of Andrew McCabe from the FBI, − {{quotebox|“When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. . . . America will triumph over you”}} − Brennan, prior to Trump’s presidency, admitted to lying under oath to Congress on two occasions. Former U.N. ambassador [[Samantha Power]] tweeted a snarky assent, − {{quotebox|“Not a good idea to piss off John Brennan.”}} − That echoed Senate Minority leader [[Democrat]] Leader [[Chuck Schumer]]’s earlier warning: − {{quotebox|“Let me tell you: You take on the [[intelligence community]] — they have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you.”}} − In an interview with [[HBO]]’s ''The Circus'', [[Hillary Clinton]] said , − {{quotebox-float|"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is. We’ve got to have a massive legal operation. I know the Biden campaign is working on that."<ref> https://creativedestructionmedia.com/news/politics/2020/08/25/hillary-clinton-joe-biden-should-not-concede-under-any-circumstances/</ref>}} − [[Al Gore]] likewise publicly advocated for a Marxist-style military coup to overthrow American [[democracy]].<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/al-gore-says-if-trump-refuses-to-concede-election-the-military-would-run-him-out</ref>-->
→Election disinformation
A similar effort was brought to light after the [[2018 Midterm elections]], including the creation of fake accounts to sway the 2017 Senate election in [[Alabama]] against [[Roy Moore]]. Joe Trippi, a Democratic operative who helped manage the 2017 Senate campaign in Alabama, said the president is partially insulated from the fallout over his own remarks by a "media echo chamber that is very disciplined about just picking up whatever the misdirection of the day is and amplifying it." That protective armor makes it all the more critical for Democrats to turn up the volume on anti-Trump messaging, he said.

===Facebook kill switch===
[[File:Zuck.jpeg|right|250px|thumb|Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg: openly complicit in the Marxist coup plot to subvert American's [[constitutional rights]].]]
In August 2020 it was reported that [[Facebook]] was planning for the possibility that President Trump or his campaign could try to challenge mail in ballot election results. ''[[The New York Times]]'' reported that staffers were already putting together contingency plans in the event Trump tries to use Facebook to dispute the vote by declaring the [[U.S. Postal Service]] lost mail-in ballots or that other groups interfered with the vote. Facebook officials, including [[CEO]] [[Mark Zuckerberg]], were holding daily meetings to discuss how to minimize the platform from being used to cast doubts on the results.
The Times noted that one plan would include a “kill switch” to shut down political ads after Election Day. The company officials believe the ads, which Facebook does not check for truthfulness, could be used to disseminate misinformation.
The corporate media has been framing whatever narrative the Democrats need since 2016. They framed President Trump as an illegitimate leader based on the [[Russia collusion hoax]]. By the Fall of 2020 the fake news media resurfaced the same [[meme]] based on a [[leak]] from a classified briefing and simply ignored the fact that the briefing said [[China]] and [[Iran]] are working hard to get Biden elected and were acting in more overt ways than [[Russia]].
The newspaper said [[YouTube]] and [[Twitter]] also discussed their own plans if the postelection period becomes problematic.<ref>https://www.newsmax.com/politics/facebook-election-results-dispute-social-media/2020/08/21/id/983301/</ref> Michael Anton of the ''American Mind'' observed, "Once the ruling class gives word that the narrative is “Trump lost,” all the president’s social media accounts will be suspended. The T.V. channels, with the likely exception of Fox News, will refuse to cover anything he says. Count on it. He’s going to need a way to talk to the American people and he has to find the means, now."<ref>https://americanmind.org/essays/the-coming-coup/</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/uPNXOFDqD0Q?list=PLNEPP7NLqujVX_zxZbDLeb3zNMjwgjhZB</ref>
Jessica Hertz, a former Associate General Counsel of Regulatory Matters at Facebook, joined the "transition team" of Joe Biden in September 2020. During Hertz’s tenure at the company, Facebook was embroiled in a host of controversies where conservatives – including President Trump – saw their content [[censor]]ed and, in some cases, de-platformed. Hertz worked in the Obama [[White House]] from 2009 to 2014, where, from 2012 to 2014 she served as Principal Deputy Counsel to then-Vice President Biden. She’s also donated over $5,000 to Democratic candidates since the 2016 election cycle, with $2,000 funneled directly to the Biden campaign.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/politics/biden-facebook-team/</ref>
