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.

So our own tax dollars were being used to overthrow our own government?!

This....this is why that change in ‘authorizing’ propaganda against the American people was so dangerous.

This is really, really bad and borders on the very brink of treason.

“ Brink of treason...”

Every single leftist (democrat) will see nothing wrong with this. That’s roughly half of the population. At the moment, we’re in a lifeboat with Trump.

in any other country the perpetrators would have already been lined up and properly dispatched. these United States of America have been trained to just accept terrorists, foreign enemies, domestic enemies, the greedy politicians screaming out for more, the crazy people running loose in the streets, the nuts who tell you what to eat and think...life is a war thanks to demanding socialist progressives and their do nothing rino accomplices in conjunction with the American voters accepting of the qwap shoveled on them every day. even horseshit doesn’t smell any more after being around it long enough.

Harvard doesn’t need Federal funding.

Last I heard several years ago, they had endowments in excess of 8 BILLION DOLLARS.................

What’s missing from all these revelations is how these asshats are communicating with their sheeple.

We all damned well know that NSA has this info.

How about that, Gen. Haugh???

Nope, he was wrong.

We are giving them rope with the knot already tied.

And we are obediently lining up at the foot of the gallows.

Yes, that has occurred to me, suggested in part by my comments that perhaps ceasing government use of the app was the intent of the ‘event’ all along.

Besides, I believe NSA ‘reads’ all of those messages.

But I’ve yet to see anything about them shutting Signal down completely...
