Orchestrating a Color Revolution Against the Deep State

Rather than licking our wounds and endlessly bemoaning the Deep State’s war against us, why not turn the tables and use some of their own tactics against them?

By now, it is obvious that the United States has been the target of a color revolution. The term “color revolution” refers to a specific strategy of effective regime change — usually orchestrated discreetly (or not so discreetly) by Washington — in nations by means, not of overt military action, but through “soft” tactics such as propaganda, activism, protests, lawfare, international pressure, and other actions designed to paint the sitting regime as “authoritarian oppressors.”

The end goal is to force the regime to step down due to resignation, abdication, a recall or referendum, arrest, or some similar means.

The fact that it is not an outright French or Bolshevik revolution does not make a color revolution any less of a coup. It is a handy tool for the foreign-policy establishment which allows it to topple a regime while making it appear that it wasn’t Washington, but the people of the country themselves, who took down the government.


And even if Washington is suspected or discovered, the relative nonviolence plays to modern pacifist sensibilities and allows D.C. to avoid the kind of reprisals or public outrage that would arise from organizing a much more blood-filled coup, such as the death squad-involving ones the CIA put together in Latin America decades back.

Recently, the Biden administration has been attempting to employ these tactics to take down Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

In February, Samantha Power, a longtime liberal fixture in Democratic administrations who is currently serving as administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), paid a visit to Budapest. 

While Power was in Hungary with the alleged aim of promoting “independent media” and combating “corruption,” her track record as a rabid left-wing idealist on international affairs and Washington’s pattern of orchestrating media- and activism-driven “color revolutions” in other countries suggests her intentions in Budapest were not so benign.

A USAID press release at the time read: “The Administrator highlighted USAID’s newly launched work to help support democracy in Central Europe, including by bolstering civil society and helping independent media thrive and build new audiences. Administrator Power also held a meeting with advocates for human rights and LGBTQI+ communities, where they discussed the experiences of LGBTQI+ people in Hungary and their efforts to increase understanding, support marginalized groups, and improve the lives of LGBTQI+ people in Hungary.”

Note: Whenever you see globalist organizations talking about promoting “democracy,” that is a tell-tale sign that there is a color revolution afoot.

The Deep State perfected the art of the color revolution abroad, but its true masterpiece was the color revolution launched here at home to remove President Donald Trump.

The various tactics of that color revolution have individually been explained so thoroughly by this and other authors here at The New American that there is no need to delve into it all here, beyond listing some of those components:

  • Creating a false sense of mass opposition to the Trump administration via “grassroots” (in reality, highly funded by leftist financiers such as George Soros) movements such as Women’s March, March for Our Lives, and Black Lives Matter.
  • Fabricating a false legal pretense with which to challenge the legitimacy of the government — the Russia-collusion narrative and subsequent special-counsel probe and impeachment.
  • Creating a national health crisis, Covid-19, which Democrats used as fuel to attack Trump’s competence and as grounds to allow widespread universal mail-in voting, which facilitated voter fraud.

Given all this, it is more than apparent that the federal government of the United States is not legitimate, but an illegitimate regime put in place via a coup. Americans are thus more than justified in working to remove this regime and implement a government in line with the Constitution.

American patriots should carefully study the tactics the Deep State has used against the people and against the once-legitimate government, and develop plans for using these tactics against the usurpers.

The paleoconservative author William S. Lind, in his book 4th Generation Warfare Handbook, explains that one of the characteristics of the fourth generation of warfare, in which we currently find ourselves, is that, as in times in the distant past, the state no longer has a monopoly on warfare. As in ancient times, families, corporations, churches, and other non-state actors can and do wage war.

Moreover, we can combine this principle with the theme of the groundbreaking book Unrestricted Warfare. The thesis of that book, authored by two colonels in the People’s Liberation Army, is that, today, warfare is not limited to traditional military action, but can be any conceivable action and activity — from financial to cultural to information — that weakens the enemy.

Putting these principles together, we come to the conclusion that American patriots, working together as activists to restore our Christian and republican institutions, should apply tactics such as information warfare, protests, fifth columns, lawfare, and other activities normally associated with color revolutions in order shatter the legitimacy and influence of the Deep State.
