"Yep, clears the CIA. But then who is actually backing this?"

Anyone from the US State Dept. passing out cookies to the protesters?

Hong Kong is following the usual color revolution script whether it's been studied and the method copied or is being run by the people who ran Georgia, Egypt, Ukraine, etc. People who don't give a rats butt about the US any more than the Chinese do.

I bet a lot of people in the CIA would get involved just to deliberately get some of those helping them identified thereby embarrassing Trump making it likely the Chinese will would get so pissed they'll never make a deal with him.

I seriously doubt that John Brennan had any shortage of pals at the CIA who have steam coming out of their ears over failing to get rid of Trump and will take any opportunity to make problems for him.

This kind of stuff way pre-dates the color revolutions. For people completely out of power, the way revolutions began in the past was via fiery speeches delivered to anyone who would listen. That translated into mass revolts that took city after city until stopped by superior force, or one of the rebel leaders seized the capital, and the throne. That’s why for most of human history, seditious speech was punished with the swift execution of all involved, including family members if the danger was thought severe enough. Because revolutions that don’t directly topple a regime can weaken it enough that other noble families can seize power and wipe out the royals. The grim reality is that history was not a Disney script - all parties played for keeps.
