Speaker 0: People have to understand, our democracy is being taken away from us, and we only have about a year. You know, just to be clear about this. And people you know, you're doing a great job, and a lot of other people are doing a good job to tell people what is actually happening in this country. But make no mistake, we have a year before this country becomes a full on autocracy and democracy completely leaves us. And we're looking at the at the election in in in in 2026. And Donald Trump knows, he knows that in a free and fair election, he will lose. He will lose the house. The house will flip and will become into democratic hands. There'll be committee chairs that'll be able to hold hearings. And this is the last thing he wants. So this little, you know, these ICE agents and the National Guard, and now he's called the military in from all over the world to talk to them about don't be surprised when polling booths are surrounded by American military in the guise of making sure that the elections are fair and that nobody is tampering with anything. And when you see violence breaking out, which there will be protests, there will be inciting violence, there'll be some violence, and they'll keep back then they'll you'll see the commandeering of voting machines, ballot boxes to make sure that that election is secure. Well, what that means is that he will then commandeer the election. So we have to make the public absolutely aware that their democracy is being taken from them, and we have to do everything we can to make sure people understand that. People don't It's a vague term, democracy. It's like, what does that mean? The constitution, we don't know what that means. People care about their pocketbook issues, the price of eggs, they care about their health care, and they should. Those are the things that directly affect them. But if they lose their democracy, all of these rights, the freedom of speech, the freedom to pray the way you want, the freedom to protest and not go to jail, not be sent out of the country with no due process. All these things will be taken away from And we have to educate the public that this is what's happening right now in America.

Norm Eisen, former US ambassador and legal figure, described the Trump administration as an autocratic regime and suggested using tools designed to displace such regimes via "people powered revolutions." Eisen, who spearheaded lawfare against Trump, from impeachments to Ukraine affairs, also ran a group that sued the Trump administration hundreds of times. He wrote a playbook on orchestrating color revolutions against populist movements in Europe while at the Brookings Institution. Eisen is now advocating applying that same playbook domestically, emphasizing a legal and media fight to win hearts and minds. A concerning warning sign is the element of on-the-street action, which is a fundamental part of these color revolutions. This destabilizes countries and provides a veneer of democratic uprising against an autocratic government.

We gathered in Washington, D.C., with millions of patriots to protest against what we believe is an overthrow of our government. While some claim there was violence, it was largely a peaceful demonstration. The real agitators were likely deep state assets manipulating the situation. The events were misrepresented, and many senators backed down from their objections due to the chaos. This is part of a larger global takeover, and we must recognize the reality of our situation. Freedom requires vigilance, and we did our duty to stand against the Senate's actions. We must continue to seek the truth and protect our freedoms, as history shows that sometimes drastic measures are necessary. The blockchain community represents this truth, and we must remain united in our pursuit of freedom, even as we strive for peaceful solutions.

The left is allegedly using a "color revolution" playbook to remove President Trump, after being caught off guard in 2016. These color revolution specialists, like Michael McFaul and Norman Eisen, allegedly honed their skills in Eastern Europe during the Obama administration. Eisen wrote "The Democracy Playbook," which includes impeachment as a strategy. Eisen and David Brock of Media Matters allegedly collaborated on a plan to remove Trump before he was even sworn in. Their action plan stated that Trump's election put the nation "under siege" and that their "infrastructure groups" would be the first line of defense. The speaker claims that the media has pushed the narrative of Trump's unpopularity to create the perception that he cannot win a legitimate election. Democrats are allegedly setting the stage to claim election results were falsified. Fact-checking organizations like PolitiFact are funded by groups with a left-wing agenda, such as George Soros' Open Society Foundations and Facebook. Steve Dace believes poll numbers are part of a spin to set up a narrative to challenge the election.

USAID and State Department officials are allegedly using skills developed over decades to undermine Trump's power, according to anonymous and on-the-record sources. These officials, some currently employed by the federal government, are reportedly frustrated after the disbanding of USAID and are now engaging in "minor acts of rebellion" within the office, aiming for a nationwide general strike. They are allegedly hosting secret workshops promoting "noncooperation" and circulating a CIA pamphlet called "Simple Sabotage." The speaker claims foreign interventionism has been a training ground for tactics now deployed domestically. This apparatus, funded by taxpayer dollars to influence foreign elections, is now being turned inward. A new group called Democracy Aid is holding invite-only workshops for federal employees, shifting from salvaging foreign assistance to redeploying it inside the U.S. The Brennan Center, linked to Judge Mershon's daughter and funded by Soros, released a poll about election officials fearing politically motivated investigations. Norm Eisen, an architect of USAID and State Department color revolutions, is allegedly behind a lawsuit challenging Trump's policies on birthright citizenship.

Right now, Americans are stressed. It feels like policy isn't the main conversation, but rather an autocratic power grab that's making Congress and the rule of law irrelevant. We understand the scale of the threat. The CBC understands, definitively, the scale of the threat. Our communities have been under siege since before the Civil War. We launched a rapid response task force and litigation working group, led by Joe Nagous and Jamie Raskin, to respond, and work with our allies. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are flooding the zone, creating distress, and a sense of inevitability. However, there have been 75+ lawsuits filed by democracy reform groups, civil rights groups, and attorney generals, and we're winning in court. There has been a forceful pushback, and the congressional battles and community mobilization will continue.

Resistance strategies are evolving, focusing on three main areas: judicial influence, NGO activism, and state-level actions by Democratic governors. Key players like the Democracy Alliance, backed by prominent left-wing billionaires, are strategizing on issues like abortion rights and immigration. They are also planning new dark money organizations to combat disinformation, targeting figures like Elon Musk. The legal side is represented by Democracy Forward, which has a significant war chest and is prepared to file lawsuits against the Trump administration. Additionally, groups like Indivisible are mobilizing grassroots efforts to challenge Republican policies. The Democratic National Committee is also gearing up to counter Trump nominees with opposition research. Overall, the resistance is well-organized and poised to be more powerful than in previous years.

State Democracy Defenders Fund formed after stopping the attempted coup of twenty twenty and began on January 7, 2021, combining the most successful coup fighters with anti-autocracy experts. They studied Hungary, Turkey, Poland, Brazil, and the Czech Republic to understand why autocracy failed or succeeded there. They emphasize that "It's not just litigation. Litigation is very important in our peaceful, lawful, vigorous effort." They describe three guardrails: "Think of litigation, the courts as the first guardrail"; "The next one is political leadership"; and "the third and maybe the most important... The people." They note protests doubling in 2025 versus 2021, and launched The Contrarian, with Jen Rubin quitting the Washington Post and I quitting CNN, reaching "600,000 subscribers" in two months. They recount cases like blocking Elon Musk out of the Treasury, which produced an order. They forecast a 2026 ballot wipeout and argue Trump and Musk are unpopular.

The administrative state is rapidly being dismantled, particularly in relation to President Trump. Before his inauguration, Norm Eisen's Democracy Playbook outlined strategies to counter Trump, labeling him an autocrat. This playbook emphasizes the role of USAID in funding independent media and civil society to resist Trump’s administration. The focus is on building international alliances and networks to oppose him, as they lack influence domestically. Recent actions have limited their ability to leak information and organize resistance, leading to a decline in their power. Marjorie Taylor Greene is proposing legislation to further dismantle these efforts, indicating a strong push from the White House to eliminate these resistance structures permanently.

Speaker 0 asks about the organizing principle behind the activism, noting a lack of a specific list of grievances beyond longtime Democratic criticisms, and wonders if there is something truly animating the movement. Speaker 1 responds with the hammer analogy: for thirty years since the end of the Cold War, the instrument used to overthrow democratically elected governments has been that a country with an autocracy may have voted for its leader, but it functions like an autocracy. This justifies overthrowing governments that people voted for in the name of democracy, with examples including Hungary under Orban, which is hugely popular but autocratic, and El Salvador, where protests faded once USAID money stopped. The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, embraced the shutdown of USAID, which has been used to influence internal politics there. A notable article in Notice about four months earlier defended USAID employees and warned the Trump administration that shutting down USAID would be a big mistake because it would unleash professional government toppling specialists. This professional class is described as a career path to learn how to network with organizations that topple governments on behalf of the State Department, the CIA, USAID, and their donor-drafted class in private equity, hedge funds, and multinational corporations that profit from post-coup governments. Speaker 1 explains that activists label these efforts as “no kings,” attempting to frame the issue as autocracy. He notes the irony that these activists are partnered with global networks in Canada and the United Kingdom that have kings, and they have had to rebrand in different countries. He recounts a scene in London where their network protested outside the US embassy, shouting “no US kings,” while in the same context they themselves are connected to monarchies. He emphasizes the incoherence of the current stance, especially given that we are less than a year out from a sweeping democratic victory—control of the House, the Senate, the electoral college, and a popular vote—defined as the opposite of a king-like monarchy. Speaker 1 concludes by saying that with only a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and that all these NGOs are set up for democracy promotion against autocracy, which is how they obtain 501(c)(3) tax-deductible status. They must label regimes as autocracies even if they are far from that description.

Speaker 0 says he began in 2020 to combine the most successful coup fighters with experts who helped study or defeat autocracy internationally, visiting Hungary, Poland, Brazil, Czech Republic, and forming a plan over four years. "twice as many protests in 2025 as there were in 2021." Speaker 2 outlines Norm Eisen’s "democracy playbook" with seven pillars: "controlling elections, controlling the courts, fighting corruption, basically, painting Trump as an autocrat, reinforcing civic and media space," and pillar six: "controlling disinformation," noting that "states may find partners in allied regulators over social media such as the EU and Brazil." Eisen recruited people for his new blob shop from folks who overturned basically regimes that he called autocratic. "All these people get paid to fight autocracy abroad through the State Department, USAID, the US Institute of Peace, the Department of Defense, Civil Military." The playbook cites USAID "37 times," funding "media allies for the blob" and projects like "the corruption reporting project in Ukraine" and "a billion dollar USAID loan guarantee" to remove Victor Shokin. It also discusses "designating elections as critical infrastructure" and a "slush fund" to pay state secretaries, plus "strategic non cooperation."

The narrative shifted from viewing Russian disinformation as a threat to recognizing domestic disinformation as a danger to democracy. This led to calls for censoring Americans to protect democratic values. The definition of democracy was reinterpreted to prioritize institutional consensus over individual voices. Following Trump's 2016 election and the rise of right-wing populism, there was a belief that populism posed a similar authoritarian threat as left-wing ideologies. The argument emerged that democracy requires safeguards against demagoguery, suggesting that institutional protections are necessary to prevent voters from choosing undesirable leaders. This discussion took place at U.S. government conferences as early as 2017, advocating for these "guardrails" in democracy.

A group of public interest organizations and lawmakers are quietly planning to prevent former President Trump from pressuring the US military to carry out his political agenda. The concern is that this could undermine civilian control of the government. The article specifically mentions Trump potentially using the military to suppress domestic protests, similar to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. The groups involved in this plan were also involved in previous protests against Trump. The fear is that if Trump were to win the election, these tactics would be used to destabilize his entire term and prevent him from stopping protests, even if they turned violent or occupied federal buildings. The speaker warns people to watch a movie about the Serbian revolution to understand how these tactics work.

The discussion centers on a sequence of events and documents that connect pipe-bomb material purchases in 2020 to a high-level, bipartisan war game and contingency planning around the 2020 election, with implications for how the transition away from Trump was imagined by prominent officials. Key facts cited: - Cole purchased pipe-bomb parts in June 2020 in two phases: June 1 and June 8, with additional purchases around June 20 and timers bought on June 3. - The timing aligns with the Transition Integrity Project, a war game exercise organized in June 2020 by Rosa Brooks, a former Obama administration senior official who led the project, and involved figures from both parties including Michael Steele (former head of the Republican National Committee), Donna Brazile (former head of the DNC), and John Podesta (Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager). The participants allegedly included other high-ranking political, military, and intelligence figures from both sides. - The project is described as a bipartisan “war game” that examined how to handle a contested election and to plan for preventing Trump’s inauguration if he won, or managing Trumpism after a loss. The document referenced is a 22-page memo with an annex (appendix C) focusing on “clear Trump win” scenarios and alternatives to ensure a Biden victory or to defeat Trumpism permanently. - The narrative asserts that the Transition Integrity Project produced recommendations for handling a contested election through street protests, electoral strategies, and political pressure, with emphasis on mass mobilization, particularly with Black Lives Matter, to influence outcomes or to force changes in leadership if necessary. - The participants allegedly discussed provocative strategies to destabilize outcomes through street actions, including plans to mobilize protests and to leverage or fund Black Lives Matter and other networks to pressure the political process. They also allegedly discussed concepts such as alternate slates of electors, secession discussions in Western states, and the possibility of arresting Trump and his associates under various circumstances. - The discussion references a sequence of events and media coverage surrounding the 2020 election, including the “Red Mirage Blue Shift” concept (the idea that results might shift after Election Night) and the goal of mitigating perceptions of illegitimacy through censorship measures and strategic messaging. - The speakers connect the June 2020 war game to events around January 6, including the notion that the plan contemplated provoking a breakdown in the joint session of Congress and coordinating demonstrations that could impact the certification process. - The dialogue also ties the Transition Integrity Project to broader discussions about preventing Trumpism from enduring post-election and to “robust, intentional, and specific strategies” to dismantle networks associated with Trump’s rise to power. They discuss the role of mass protests, the potential use of the National Guard, and concerns about preventing or countering demonstrations in the lead-up to and during the certification of the election results. - The conversations reference mainstream outlets (e.g., The New York Times, Molly Ball’s Time Magazine piece) and insist that the Transition Integrity Project’s work was widely discussed and reported, with emphasis on its admission of planning to test receptivity of protests and to coordinate with foundations, corporations, and donor networks to fund and sustain street action if needed. - Throughout, there is an emphasis on not allowing Trump or Trumpism to demobilize automatically after the election and on preparing a comprehensive, multi-front strategy to address a perceived threat to democratic order. Notable participants named or implied include Rosa Brooks; Michael Steele; Donna Brazile; John Podesta; Bill Crystal; David Fromm; and Hillary Clinton’s campaign apparatus. The discussion ties these figures to both the June 2020 pipe-bomb purchases and the broader Transition Integrity Project, framing the war game as a blueprint for how to stop Trump, manage protests, and dismantle the networks that supported Trump’s rise.

In 2020, battleground states faced a nationally coordinated effort to undermine the will of the people before, during, and after election day. Secretaries of State began to coordinate with each other. In 2022, a team was built in six states: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia. These states are now working together, and are clear about what they're up against. The battle over the future of democracy isn't going to be in the post-election process only, it starts now with court battles. These states anticipate getting hit with the same types of sham lawsuits. By working together, they can develop common strategies and be more powerful as a united team across party lines.

An ex-Data Republican has identified seven NGOs, partially funded by American taxpayers, as key players in the "deep state Uniparty." These organizations have allegedly shaped public discourse, portraying Trump as a threat to democracy, when actually, he challenged their political regime. These NGOs receive substantial funding from USAID/State Department and frame their mission as protecting democracy. They were originally created to support US Democratic efforts abroad but redefined their mission after the Soviet Union's fall. These NGOs function as a shadow US government, with the National Endowment for Democracy unifying efforts against perceived enemies. Recent actions by Trump, like sending Elon Musk into federal agencies, have disrupted the Uniparty's alleged grift and misuse of taxpayer funds. As the Uniparty panics, the deep state will become more desperate.

The MAGA movement is ascendant. Mark Zuckerberg, a major offender, is trying to infiltrate our movement. Last week, I showed how Zuckerberg funneled money to groups tied to lawsuits via a Twitter thread. The Chan Zuckerberg initiative has since altered its website, removing grants prior to 2024, conveniently erasing their actions to influence the 2020 election. Zuckerberg's Forward US, founded in 2013, along with the Chan Zuckerberg initiative, funds over a dozen organizations actively resisting President Trump through lawsuits, lobbying, protests, and more. Examples include Casa, suing over birthright citizenship; Make the Road New York, aiding illegal aliens in avoiding deportation; Vote Vets Action, opposing HECSAF confirmation; and the Center for American Progress, initiating numerous lawsuits. Even radical groups like the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, which smeared the Lake and Riley act, receive funding.

Cole notes that he purchased six galvanized pipes of this size on June 1, June 8, and November 16, and asks for receipts. The discussion shifts to what questions a point person in 2021 would face and to a theory of the case, with speculation about how individuals could be drawn into a plan to influence events, including the possibility of a “pipe bomb” plot and manipulation of associates. Speaker 1 explains that, as a federal investigator, one would use a speculative investigative lens to broaden the search to cover various permutations of the case, including the idea that there was a so-called Red Mirage Blue Shift scenario surrounding the 2020 election. They reference CNN’s 2020 reporting on deciphering red mirage and blue shift uncertainty, including pre censorship by DHS/CISA in June 2020 to suppress any social media criticism of mass mail-in ballots, so as to prevent questions about legitimacy of an upcoming Biden victory. The discussion asserts that the goal was to preempt perceptions of illegitimacy and manage the narrative around the election results. The conversation then turns to Rosa Brooks, a high-ranking Obama administration official who headed the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) and wrote about pathways to remove Trump from power. Speaker 1 cites Brooks’ article “Three ways to stop President Trump before the 2020 election” and notes an assertion, reportedly in a Diet of Lisa-like coverage, that she later discussed a fourth, insurrectionary possibility: a military coup. They claim TIP was a war game conducted in June 2020 and then in November 2020, involving senior military, intelligence, diplomatic, and political operatives, with participants from both parties including Michael Steele (former RNC head), Donna Brazile (former DNC head), John Podesta (Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager), Bill Kristol, and others. The summary asserts that TIP’s appendix, “Will Trumpism survive a Trump loss?” warned that Trumpism could persist even after a loss, necessitating a robust strategy to eliminate Trump supporters and networks that enabled Trump’s rise. It is claimed the document discusses how to mobilize mass street protests, especially via Black Lives Matter and allied groups, to pressure a Biden administration to act against Trump, including funding and resource provisioning of protest movements to ensure their alignment with Democratic objectives. The dialogue alleges that, in June 2020, TIP proposed measures to de- legitimize Trump, including not letting Trump use the National Guard or invoke the Insurrection Act to quell protests. It is asserted that the plan contemplated mass demonstrations, the use of “street protests” as decisive leverage, and the establishment of communications infrastructure to support mass mobilization for street action if Trump won, or to counter him if he did not. The participants allegedly favored aligning with groups like Soros-funded Indivisible and Hold the Line, and urged resourcing new racial justice leaders and major philanthropic/foundation channels to fund these movements, including a claimed $50 billion in funding to Black Lives Matter. The transcript claims that TIP’s War Game included explicit scenarios about alternate electors, secession moves, and the potential for mass prosecutions of Trump and his associates, as well as strategic recommendations on how to proceed if Trump refused to concede. It is further asserted that a June 2020 war game considered provoking an “January 6” breakdown in Congress as a central move to prevent a contested inauguration, with participants pondering agent provocateurs and avenues to postpone certification. Throughout, the speakers connect the pipe-bomb purchases in June 2020 to the TIP war games and the broader plan to undermine Trump through street mobilization, legal maneuvers, and potential mass arrests of Trump supporters and networks, while noting the January 6 events as a focal point of these discussions.

Speaker 0 presents the argument that what is unfolding in the United States is a color revolution, described as a communist globalist playbook to take over a country without tanks, previously used in Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, and others. The speaker outlines the four-step manual: 1) demonize the leader of the people who were voted for; 2) flood the country with chaos such as riots, open borders, and economic pain; 3) weaponize the courts, the media, and big tech to finish him off; 4) install a puppet who sells the country out to China and the UN. Applying this to the United States, the speaker cites events from 2016 to 2020: the Russia collusion hoax, FBI spying, two fake impeachments, Antifa rioting with coverage described as “fiery but mostly peaceful” by CNN, and the aim of making people hate the voted-for leader. In 2020, the speaker alleges two ballot dumps, boarded-up windows, 51 intel agents lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, and Zuckerberg spending $400,000,000 to help count votes in Democrat cities, with the goal of stealing the election while labeling dissent as conspiracy theory. From 2021 to 2024, the speaker asserts Biden opened the border on day one, bringing over 12,000,000 illegals, including military-age men from China and Venezuela, with free flights, hotels, and EBT cards, all at American expense. The resulting consequences are claimed as city collapse, rising crime, and strained schools and hospitals, with the goal of making Americans feel like strangers in their own country. From 2021 to 2025, the speaker lists 91 felony charges, the Mar-a-Lago raid, gag orders, and mugshots, arguing the intent was not merely to defeat Trump but to break him and other patriots who challenge the system. The treatment of Charlie Kirk is cited as a textbook color revolution. On 11/05/2024, the speaker proclaims the American people delivered a counterrevolution: 312 electoral votes, a popular vote landslide, and unprecedented turnout among Hispanic and Black Republicans, described as the greatest peaceful counterrevolution in world history. The speaker notes that the same “snakes” who funded BLM riots, the Ukraine coup, and the Arab Spring still sit in the FBI, CIA, big tech, and universities, and warns they will try again in 2026 or 2028, asserting that every time there is another mostly peaceful riot, a new crisis before an election, and a wave of experts using scripted language, you are witnessing the Color Revolution Playbook live on American soil. The message concludes with reminders of past attempts such as back mass deportations and border failures, urging continued defense of the border, teaching children the truth, and supporting the president to take all necessary measures to restore the republic. The speaker ends with blessings for the United States of America.

The anti-democracy strategy in America has four main pillars. First, it undermines public trust in elections through misinformation and fake audits, leading to significant disbelief in election outcomes. Second, it attacks voting rights with numerous voter suppression bills targeting mail-in voting and drop boxes. Third, it criminalizes opposition, instilling fear in election officials and voters through laws that restrict basic election administration tasks. Finally, it hijacks elections by shifting control from nonpartisan officials to partisan actors, including dark money groups. To counter this, a proactive strategy is essential, focusing on enhancing public trust, expanding voting access, holding violators accountable, and protecting elections through comprehensive measures.

The Supreme Court protects freedoms when Congress and presidents overreach, but those freedoms are currently under threat. Government officials have pressured tech companies to censor alleged misinformation, much of which has proven true. Authoritarian governments control the press, speech, and legal processes, using courts to stifle opponents. America is rapidly becoming a one-party state. The Supreme Court has so far restrained the "censorship industrial complex" run by the Democrats, but a Democratic victory in the upcoming election could lead to the appointment of judges who would end democracy. The only hope is a populist movement, including "foreign democrats," to defend the republic. Therefore, everyone should vote Trump to protect the Constitution.

The State Democracy Defenders Fund was created after the failed 2020 coup attempt, combining experts who fought the coup with those who studied successful and unsuccessful ousters of autocratic regimes in places like Hungary, Turkey, Poland, Brazil, and the Czech Republic. Their plan involves litigation as the first guardrail against autocracy, with over 150 wins in court. The "banging" against this guardrail is waking up political leadership and the American people. Elected officials are increasingly vocal, and protests have doubled since 2021. The organization also incubated The Contrarian, a publication covering the democracy movement, with 600,000 subscribers. These protests range from town halls to spontaneous demonstrations, like one supporting a case against Elon Musk. The combination of litigation, political opposition, and grassroots movements is key to defeating authoritarianism. A "wipeout" at the ballot box is predicted in 2026 due to Trump's unpopularity and Musk's low approval ratings.
