These "Resistance Labs" researching the most effective tactics for full-blown “regime change."

They’re analyzing whether terrorism or violence are useful tactics.

Harvard’s Nonviolent Action Lab partnered with Rep. Jayapal on “Resistance Labs,” hosting virtual trainings for activists.

She told reporters she wants protestors “strike ready,” suggesting violence is “coming.”

Jayapal pledged she would share the trainings with colleagues.

Erica Chenoweth, Nonviolent Action Lab leader, joined the training.

The lab is part of Harvard’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance. Deleted webpages reveal USAID and the State Department among its top donors.

Chenoweth uses “they/them” pronouns.

Chenoweth’s personal resume show she has lectured at USAID in 2015, 2016, and 2022

She has also authored several reports and memos for USAID as a Lead Investigator funded by 5-figure grants including:

- Youth and LGBTQ+ Participation in Nonviolent Action - Struggles from Below: Human Rights Struggles by Domestic Actors - Civil Resistance and Corporate Behavior: Mapping Trends and Assessing Impact

As recent as 2022, Chenoweth was lecturing at USAID's Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance Center.

Chenoweth has written extensively on terrorism and evaluating whether violent protests are effective. Papers/books she has authored include the following.

These are the raw materials for truly radical regime change, analyzing terrorism and violent protest through the lens of what is most successful - not moral, safe, or just.

- How to Topple a Dictator

- The Role of Violence in Nonviolent Resistance

- Resilient Republics: Why Terrorism Does Not Destroy Democracy

- The Study of Terrorism: Achievements and Analytical Challenges Ahead

- To Bribe or to Bomb: Do Corruption and Terrorism Go Together?”

- Democratic Competition and Terrorist Activity

- Is Terrorism Still a Democratic Phenomenon?

- Oxford Handbook on Terrorism

- Terrorism and Democracy

- Democratic Pieces: Democratization and the Origins of Terrorism

- Political Violence and Terrorism in Modern America: A Chronology

Some of Chenoweth’s other speaking events include Yale University’s Public Policy Program Panel on “Is Terrorism Ever Legitimate?”, a “Workshop on Nonviolent Strategies in Violent Settings,” and organizing the “Paths to Violence Workshop” at Harvard.

USAID was basically a source of endless corrupt cash for the Democrats.

That’s why they are so upset. Like the monkey in the experiment:

Wonder what this idiot would think if, oh say, Moody Bible Institute were to partner with pro-life Republicans to set up a training program for pro-life activists on how to stage “activities” against PP and other abortionists.
