Following the latest disclosures from @DataRepublican, I see many conservative and right wing influencers saying that the way to defeat a Color Revolution is through public awareness. Color Revolutions don't depend on secrecy. It's a form of POPULAR revolution, meaning they need the masses on board. IT'S NO SECRET. Defeating secrecy helps us understand the threat, but that alone will NOT stop what's coming. Color Revolutions run on ORGANIZATION. It's not the secrecy that matters, it's the connective tissue of people, money, and strategy that force a decisive phase and tipping point. So it's the organization -- the act of getting individuals organized into groups that can be mobilized -- that you have to target. And you do that through counter-organization. REMEMBER: The crux of ALL revolutionary and counter-revolutionary strategy is to organize yourself and disorganize your opponents. The Viet Minh perfected this strategy with what they called Dau Tranh, or struggle or political struggle. It had three lines of effort, two of which are of supreme importance: Action among your own people. The total mobilization of propaganda, motivational, and organizational measures to build, organize, and sustain yourself. Action among the enemy’s people. The total propaganda effort to sow discontent, defeatism, dissent, and disloyalty among the enemy’s population. Organize yourself and disorganize your opponents. That's the strategy to win. That's how you defeat an organized effort to topple a government. The side that is better organized and wins greater support is going to win. Next Tuesday night, I will livestream and hold a Spaces here to discuss this in greater detail and provide a path to defeating this burgeoning Color Revolution movement. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
