    With the lab leak theory gaining mainstream exposure, it's time to review Unrestricted Warfare (1999), written by two Chinese PLA colonels, which is effectively a manual on how to defeat the United States. A thread. /1

    A color revolution succeeds by eroding a government's legitimacy, authority, and capacity. These movements are often developed years before the decisive phase, and usually coincide with national elections. Get your free Color Revolutions 101 ebook in the post below.

    This is so true. Young white men will spend 10+ hours a week watching sports and consuming drivel on ESPN, but can't be bothered to vote for their evaporating future. Yes, they're retarded, but it's also a failure to inform and influence them. Truly bread and circuses.

    Rant: Got last minute travel today, so won't be doing a Democracy Files drop today. But saw that the person at the center of the files posted about "unimaginable horrors." Let me tell you why I got interested in "democracy" in the first place. I've told this story many times, but here again: I was DOGE adjacent from the very beginning. I was recruited by several DOGE teams in January 2025, because I was excited about the opportunity to finally cut spending and taming the national debt. Bu then - Tesla Takedown protests happened. People got so worked up that they were firebombing innocent Tesla owners. A viral website with a Molotov cocktail cursor prominently featured my husband's address. I was doxxed in the middle of that, and forced to flee the state and homeschool my children. That's when I started researching and writing UNELECTED. I quickly found the groups organizing and funding the civil unrest were all about "democracy." It made no sense to me. DOGE wasn't overturning elections. They were cutting obviously silly awards - given our national deficit, who would object to that? Silly me! Turns out "democracy" means diffused rule by unelected people, and all that USAID money going to marginalized groups to build a "civil society" is the foundation of that. So the immune system of "civil unrest" can be activated anytime, and terrorize anyone who dares to step out of line. Such as DOGE employees. Such as me and my family. That research trail led me all the way to DemAID (now DRG), a group of ex-USAID officers. Led by you and Ro Tucci. @iamlisalogan and @SKDoubleDub33 found DemAID on video taking credit for these protests. But this isn't about me. This is about the United States. And about the dozens of countries wrecked by color revolutions. You aren't solving polarization. You are the source of polarization, because in the process of building "civil society," you are displacing people's inborn allegiances and training them up to attack the very foundations a nation are founded upon. Nor is this about revenge or anger. I'm calling on everyone to pray that no more damage is done, and that we can find a path forward that preserves our Constitutional Republic.

    I know because I was once that sportsball guy. The truth is that seasons come and go, and you have nothing to show for it. At least those athletes are out building careers and accolades. You're nothing more than a cheerleader who pays to cheer for them.

    RT @BowTiedMara: Lula da Silva’s party has posted a message stating that more arrests of opposition figures are coming in the next few hours. In this instance, it concerns Senator Deltan Dallagnol. The situation unfolding in Brazil is extremely serious; it is likely that all opposition figures will be imprisoned.

You can generate your own county and neighborhood-level Area Study in minutes with Community S2, our new local intelligence platform. We've already done the work for you, and the layers and workflows are based on my Area Intelligence Handbook. Every county and neighborhood in the United States has its own Hazard Risk Profile which tells you exactly what you should be preparing for. Plus, Community S2 monitors local news and conditions while you sleep. Just log on, check in, and see what's happening around you. Link in next post.

    Excellent point. By the nature of their revolution, they can't just force Trump out, the whole admin has to be replaced. They're already said they'll radically alter our style of government. This may start with a color revolution but it's liable to end with a civil war.

    Just a reminder that the Color Revolution is not actually trying to overthrow President Trump. Nope. What they are actually trying to do is overthrow the Constitutional choice of We the People. That's what this is actually about. These ex-USAID/CIA/State/military cretins are coming after YOU. And they are doing it all to "protect our democracy." GRRRRRRRRR....😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

    This is true - the RRC race is a bellwether. Republican friends - a vote for @bofrench is a vote for a dark future for the GOP, a future in which conservative Indians, Latinos, and reasonable independents abandon our party and consign us to permanent minority status. We can survive a 2-1 majority on the RRC. We cannot survive Bo French.

    The other day, French President Emanuel Macron blamed social media for steering rioters to their targets. I don't know if it was centrally directed or ad hoc, but it just goes to show that during periods of civil unrest, the absolute best early warning can come from local social media accounts the rioters are following. The time to identify those accounts is before the next riot. That's why you do an Area Study. Community S2 makes that easy, and expanding social media coverage is the next big upgrade over there.

    A friend in Brazil tells me that Flavio Bolsonaro could be arrested. As of this morning, Flavio is still contesting the election results, although I doubt the election gets annulled. Flavio's Senate seat currently protects him from lower court prosecution, meaning that only the supreme court can investigate and arrest him. His senate seat is up in February 2027. Lula obviously holds this over his head.
