There are three phases to a Color Revolution. It's important to understand this so you can see how the actions of the Sedition 6 fit into this pattern.

There are three phases to a Color Revolution. It's important to understand this so you can see how the actions of the Sedition 6 fit into this pattern.
PHASE ONE:1⃣
-Form underground opposition networks.
-Create strong slogans and powerful information operations as recruitment tools.
-Upon a certain well-coordinated signal, well-funded, well-organized mass protests “spontaneously” appear.
-The armed wing of the movement conducts carefully coordinated, precision attacks on certain government infrastructure.
PHASE TWO: 2⃣
-Discredit military, security, and law enforcement forces through information operations, coordination with friendly media (Jimmy Kimmel? Talkin' to you, Komrade Kelly), strikes, civil disobedience, rioting, and sabotage.
🔥🔥🔥 YOU ARE HERE🔥🔥🔥
-Occupy civic facilities and refuse to leave until your demands are met.
-Strengthen and grow a highly organized logistics support network.
-Issue ultimatums to the government, threatening violent uprisings if demands are unmet. The goal is to either have the government acquiesce or engage in violent repression, in each case thereby delegitimizing itself.
PHASE THREE: 3⃣
-Overthrow the government in a “non-violent” manner that is actually quite violent.
-Open attacks on authorities, seizure of government buildings, destruction of government symbols.
-Coordinate media messaging. If the government attacks, media will accuse the government of attacking "peaceful protestors.” If the government makes concessions, it will appear impotent because protestors will not compromise.
-Widespread delegitimization of the government is effective in the minds of the populace; the government either willingly cedes power or is violently removed.
-The once underground opposition forces' leadership now seizes control of the government.
