Democrat War Games: Could They Try for a Color Revolution After a Trump Victory? By Lambert Strether
I think it’s fair to say that if the Democrats believe what they say about Trump, then they cannot possibly allow him to take office. And yet, there has been curiously little public discussion about what they might actually do to prevent that event, should Trump be in a position to win the Electoral College (EC) vote, the day after Election Day.
I would speculate that discussion of “The Day After” has taken place — like so many matters of importance, these days — in rooms we will never enter. And so — again as like so many matters of importance — we don’t really know what anyone is after. But it would be irresponsible not to speculate. In this post, I’m going to focus on what the Democrats might do, partly because I came up through the Democrats, so I’m more familiar with the players and their collective mentality. More importantly, from 2016 (RussiaGate) – 2020 (lawfare), the Democrats have form...
..A Color Revolution in 2024?
So, assuming that we have (1) a model for a Color Revolution in the election 2016 Women’s March, and (2) a mobilized populatiion very demographically similar to the Women’s March, plus (3) the non-violent ideology, the heavy NGO involvement, the election trigger, and color (to come: blue?), how would we improve on the Women’s March to yeild a “better” outcome, ideally preventing him from taking office, but certainly punishing his base?
Let’s turn to Gene Sharp, the architect of color revolutions[6], and his famous “198 METHODS OF NONVIOLENT ACTION“[7] (all the methods are numbered, which is really neat).
The Women’s March clearly used the following methods:
Formal statements of all kinds (#1-#6)
Communications With A Wider Audience (#7-#12), but most importantly:
#19 Wearing of symbols (the “pink pussy hats”)
#38 Marches
And that’s basically it. No economic non-cooperation; no political non-cooperation; no non-violent interventions.
Now let’s fast forward to 2024, and realize that (1) our “mobilized population” is the PMC, and that it’s class-conscious, and that (2) the NGOs include, as the Women’s March did not, members of the intelligence community (remember this is an autogolpe by a hegemonic class):
#50 Teach-ins (on Constitutional issues)
#55 Social boycott (of Trumpists)
#57 Lysistratic nonaction (we’ve seen this from Kamala already) ["Sex Boycott"]
#76 National consumers’ boycott (of Trump-supporting entities)
#143 Blocking of lines of command and information (by the organs of state security)
#173 Nonviolent occupation (perhaps not the capital, this time)
#187 Seizure of assets (bank employees, as with the Canadian truckers)
#86 Withdrawal of bank deposits (major corporations, from big banks)
#198 Dual sovereignty and parallel government (why not?)
This “Color Revolution” would have, as the Women’s March did not, but previous color revolutions in foreign countries did, the weight of the entire Democratic apparatus behind it (Democrat electeds, the press, NGOs, the organs of state security, etc.) So if you want to establish a “permission structure” for overthrowing a government that you regard as fascist. the above methods could be very helpful, particularly if they appeared to be outpourings from a spontaneous movement, as the press would surely present it.
Conclusion
“We’re bringing the war back home!” as Firesign Theatre sang. https://genius.com/Firesign-theatre-were-bringing-the-war-back-home-annotated In the case of a Trump victory, it would certainly seem odd if the Democratic apparatus, allied with the Blob, did not use same tools to “defend democracy” here at home that they have used with such success abroad. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/10/democrat_war_games_could_they_try_for_a_color_revolution_after_a_trump_victory.html

The US cut off aid last year, but I have been donating monthly... In fatal blow to Palestinian aid, 'Israel' bans UNRWA Earlier this month, the head of the UN relief agency for Palestinians stated that its operations in the Gaza Strip are nearing a breaking point due to increasingly challengingconditions. "Israel" passed a law on Monday laws prohibiting the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) from working in "Israel", further hindering its efforts to aid the Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip.
The proposal has upset the United Nations and some of "Israel's" Western allies who believe it would exacerbate the already grave humanitarian situation in Gaza, where "Israel" has ruthlessly and repeatedly bombed civilians for the last year. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/in-fatal-blow-to-palestinian-aid---israel--bans-unrwa--chief
UNRWA keeps the original records of where Palestinian families lived, so that they may return. Israel passes 2 laws restricting UN agency that distributes aid in Gaza The laws, which do not immediately go into effect, signal a new low for a long-troubled relationship between Israel and the UN Israel’s international allies said they were deeply worried about its potential impact on Palestinians as the war’s humanitarian toll is worsening.
Under the first law, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA, would be banned from conducting “any activity” or providing any service inside Israel, while the second would sever diplomatic ties with it. The legislation risks collapsing the already fragile process for distributing aid in Gaza at a moment when Israel is under increased US pressure to ramp up aid.
Israel has alleged that some of UNRWA’s thousands of staff members participated in the Hamas attacks last year that sparked the war in Gaza. It also has said hundreds of UNRWA staff have militant ties and that it has found Hamas military assets near or under the agency’s facilities.
The agency fired nine employees after an investigation but denies it knowingly aids armed groups and says it acts quickly to purge any suspected militants from its ranks. Some of Israel’s allegations prompted major international donors to cut funding to the agency, although some of it has been restored. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2577124/middle-east

FS sends this Alastair Crooke essay about the corner which Israeli society is being painted into: A “heroic” preference for self-destruction is taking hold in Israel Maj. Gen. (Res.) Itzhak Brik, a former senior IDF commander and a former long-serving IDF ombudsman – has warned again of Israel’s looming fall:
Netanyahu, Gallant and Halevi are gambling with Israel’s very existence… they never think for a moment about the day after. They are disconnected from reality and exercise no judgment … When the catastrophe strikes, it will already be too late … These three megalomaniacs imagine that they are capable of destroying both Hamas and Hizbullah and ending the ayatollahs’ regime in Iran … They want to accomplish everything through military pressure, but in the end, they won’t accomplish anything. They have put Israel on the brink of two impossible situations [–] the outbreak of a full-fledged war in the Middle East, [and secondly] continuing the war of attrition. In either situation, Israel won’t be able to survive for long. Only a diplomatic agreement has the power to extricate us from the quagmire into which these three men have dragged us. Israel teeters at the edge: It doesn’t have the necessary forces; it doesn’t have a culture of tolerating persistent suffering; and it will not be able to impose itself over the plurality of resistance that it faces. Reason already is cast aside, its opponents are ridiculed: a ‘heroic’ preference for self-destruction has taken hold. ‘Masada’ is being spoken of. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/10/29/a-heroic-preference-for-self-destruction-is-taking-hold-in-israel/

US ‘Played Critical Support Role’ in Israel’s Strike on Iran – Analyst "The US and Israel appear to have been in full coordination for the recent Israeli strike on Iranian territory. High-level meetings and discussions between the two countries’ political and military leaders preceded the attack, underscoring a collaborative approach," Salamey argued.
He insisted on Washington playing "a critical support role" in last week’s strikes by "reportedly providing safe passages over Iraqi airspace, installing THAAD missile defense systems in Israel, and placing its destroyer ships in the region on high alert." https://sputnikglobe.com/20241028/us-played-critical-support-role-in-israels-strike-on-iran--analyst-1120708837.html

South Africa files fresh evidence to UN Court that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza South Africa, on Monday, filed fresh evidence to the top UN Court to bolster its charges that Israel is committing genocide in the besieged Palestinian enclave of Gaza, Anadolu Agency reports.
The memorial, as it is known in legal language, includes new evidence that Israel has “violated the Genocide Convention by promoting the destruction of Palestinians living in Gaza, physically killing them with an assortment of destructive weapons, depriving them access to humanitarian assistance,” said Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africa’s President.
The evidence shows Israel’s actions are aimed at the physical destruction of Palestinians as well as “ignoring and defying” several provisional measures ordered earlier by the International Court of Justice.
Israel is “using starvation as a weapon of war and to further Israel’s aims to depopulate Gaza through mass death and forced displacement of Palestinians,” he said, referring to the evidence detailed in over 750 pages of text, supported by exhibits and annexes of over 4,000 pages. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241028-south-africa-files-fresh-evidence-to-un-court-that-israel-is-committing-genocide-in-gaza/

Pepe Escobar: BRICS Make History - Can They Maintain The Momentum? Kazan proved that the driving force of BRICS is actually the notorious Primakov triangle – or RIC (Russia, India, China). It’s now possible to add Iran, and that would make it RIIC. Everything of substance in the inter-connected processes of BRICS integration and Afro-Eurasia integration depends on RIIC.
Saudi Arabia remains an open proposition. Not even Putin answered whether Riyadh is in, out, or over the wall. Diplomatic sources hint MbS is waiting for the result of the US presidential elections. As much as Saudi Arabia’s wealth is invested in the Anglo-American sphere – and can be stolen in no time – relations with the Russia-China strategic partnership at the highest level are excellent.
RIC scored a major hit right before the Kazan summit with Beijing and New Delhi announcing their Ladakh normalization. That was achieved by Russian mediation. Then there’s Turkiye; Erdogan was adamant to stress his BRICS enthusiasm in the few hours he spent in Kazan. Later in Istanbul, scholars confirmed he’s dead serious about Turkiye’s partner status and eventual admission as a full member. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/escobar-brics-make-history-can-they-maintain-momentum

Ukrainian militants killed civilians and domestic animals, while retreating from Ukrainsk The residents, who managed to evacuate recently, described that the soldiers showed no regard for the remaining townspeople.
“In one neighborhood, they shot seven men dead and killed around ten dogs. Then they warned the residents that the same would happen to them if they didn’t leave for Ukraine,” stated a local woman named Natalia.
Another resident, Ella, added that the soldiers allegedly threatened to leave no survivors among the townspeople if they were to retreat.
“In the area with new housing, they killed several people who were hiding in a basement. Soldiers threw several grenades in there, set the door on fire, and locked it to prevent anyone from escaping,” she said. https://eu.eot.su/2024/10/28/ukrainian-militants-killed-civilians-and-domestic-animals-while-retreating-from-ukrainsk/

'76% of Americans are worried about post-election violence. Poll'... A Fake poll ?
The such polls are used to create perceptions...
The mass media has done much to link Trump and violence: notice the 'Trump =
Hitler' campaign...
Polls claiming the likelihood of violence are more likely to suppress voter support
for Trump than for whoever the Democrat party candidate is... In all likelihood they
encourage Democrat supporters to vote to "Stop Trump/Hitler" !
Coupling polls about possible violence with claims '45 million have already voted'
subtly informs they may have voted early to avoid any possible election day violence...
