This is a Color Revolution. This is Insurrection.
A “radiant poet mom” weaponizes her two-ton Honda Pilot against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With her predictable demise, she becomes a martyr for a subversive campaign, organized by the corporate state, against the American Republic.
Three weeks later, in that same city, Border Patrol agents kill a “cheerful ICU nurse” brandishing a firearm. Predictably, the mayor accuses “masked agents” of “pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death.” The Minnesota governor, persisting in his defiance of the US Constitution, tells the national government to quit enforcing law and order.
Neoconfederates don’t wait for the facts. It’s all anti-American propaganda all the time. The corporate state media and anti-American forces exploit these and other instances of violence provoked by rebels to fuel a conflagration across a nation now submerged in a historic deep freeze. The incessant blowing of whistles deafening reason. “ICE Out” is yet another installment of a decade-long color revolution.
A color revolution refers to waves of mass protest movements that challenge or cripple—or even replace—elected governments through the appearance of nonviolent demonstrations and symbolic branding designed to mobilize public support against established authority, often under the banner of democracy.
These movements typically present themselves as spontaneous grassroots struggles for democracy and transparency. In reality, such uprisings are rarely organic; they are encouraged, funded, and strategically guided by transnational corporate interests, opposition parties, NGOs, intelligence services, and the broader cultural, educational, and media apparatus to reshape a country’s political system.
Thus, “color revolution” serves as shorthand for elite-backed regime change. It does not represent an authentic uprising by the masses but instead mobilizes radicalized elements of a population to thwart the popular will by destabilizing society.
In the US context, movements such as the Women’s March, March for Our Lives, Families Belong Together, Climate Justice, Trans Rights advocacy, Quiet Quitting, Black Lives Matter, Free Palestine, No Kings, and ICE Out are not isolated, spontaneous grassroots efforts. Rather, they form a series of manufactured uprisings in an ongoing revolution-from-above.
Parallel to these street-level actions, forces seeking to delegitimize and overthrow governments weaponize corporate-controlled law firms, corrupted government agencies, and partisan judicial bodies to remove—or block from power—representatives of the genuine popular will and defenders of liberal and republican ideals and institutions.
These same forces manufacture successive crises—environmental, political, public-health-related—to keep populations in a perpetual state of fear and subjection. This strategy relies on large segments of the population primed to obey elite-selected experts, self-styled saviors, and manufactured martyrs. The result is recurring waves of mass hysteria and moral panic, often characterized by mass formation psychosis or mass psychogenic illness, which spread through social contagion.
The reservoir of irrational dissent is cultivated by elite-captured cultural and educational institutions that revise history: exaggerating past injustices (while glorifying past rebellions ostensibly aimed at addressing them) and memory-holing the accomplishments and virtues of righteous movements and nations. This tactic is known as engineering a legitimation crisis.
Mass manipulation also involves enforcing a double standard, in which legitimate government actions—law enforcement, military operations, and the like—are deemed acceptable only when exercised by corporate-backed movements and parties. A police riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, is portrayed as an insurrection, while lawful enforcement action is condemned as fascism.
American citizens are now taking up arms against the federal government. They’re martyring themselves in a ritual of altruistic suicide. And Democrats want more than this. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is giving permission for illegal alien invaders to use that state’s Stand Your Ground law to fire upon federal agents. This is insurrection.
Ultimately, what underlies this multifaceted class war on populations is transnational corporate power seeking to establish a new world order. It aims to deconstruct the interstate system emerging from the Enlightenment and replace it with a neofeudal network of elite-controlled estates, where the fractured masses are administered by cultural and technocratic managers. Donald Trump is the bulwark against the New Fascism. He must be brought to heel.
Since the summer of 2018, the resurrected Freedom and Reason platform has chronicled the elite war on America. You have a front row seat. Stay tuned. Stay frosty.
