Former Special Forces Officer Warns Of ‘Color Revolution Tactics’ Used Against Trump
USSA ^ | 12-12-2020 | QG Pan and Joshua Philipp

Color revolution tactics that have been used against foreign leaders are now being used by President Donald Trump’s opponents to oust him, a former special forces officer has warned.

“A color revolution is a tactic to affect regime change,” the officer, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Epoch Times.

“What I see happening is a Marxist insurgency that’s using a color revolution to affect regime change.”

The 2019 Transition Integrity Project, according to the officer, is an indicator that the events of this year’s presidential election were “transparently orchestrated” by “Marxist elements within the Democratic Party and their Marxist allies in foreign governments.”

“It may not have fallen out just as they wanted, because anytime you carry out an operation like this, the enemy will get a vote. But the plan was we will not concede the election. The goal here was never the presidency,” the officer said.

“The goal of the opposition was to fundamentally change the country. They are attacking the efficacy of the Constitution.”

To achieve their goal, the anti-Trump opposition focused their main effort on affecting the election, the officer said.

Some of the most notable color revolutions took place amid turmoil sparked by disputed elections. In 2004, mass protests in Ukraine following allegations of a fraudulent presidential election, which initially showed pro-Russia Viktor Yanukovych as the winner, led to a new vote won by Viktor Yushchenko, the candidate backed by the European Union and the United States.

The officer said the tactics used by the anti-Trump opposition can be found in the Special Forces’ guide for overthrowing a government.

“What you’re getting from me, this is supported in all older unconventional warfare doctrines,” the officer said.

“You could go to our manuals and pull from them the information I’m telling you. This isn’t from someone who’s a rabid Trump supporter. This is what’s happening.”

The officer then talked about how President Barack Obama used his eight years in office to “seed his political allies all through the institutions,” created an “underground” or “shadow government” supported by legacy media and rioters.

“With the president being unable to get his own people into the administration, we effectively had a third administration of Obama,” the officer said.

“So we come to what we have today: The underground are the elements within the government. We saw how they opposed the president, how they tried the impeachment.”

This excerpt is taken out of it’s full context, but who can forget what Obama said back in the 2008 campaign?

“...We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set.

We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded...”

Marxists are eroding Trump’s strength. If they succeed there will ne more Space X Technology program, no more American prosperity (wages and jobs). Americans better think twice about demolishing what Trump has built.

For me anyway, that makes his statements much less powerful.

This was Trump’s Achilles heel. He never had personnel loyal to him. He relied upon the GOP and groups like the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation to staff his administration. He needed hatchet men to make sure his work got done, not ivy league credentialed bureaucrats who never supported him subverting his agenda.

We, the people, have experienced rank opposition to our duly-elected president. The cabal even tried but failed at impeachment
due to Speaker Pelosi's utter stupidity. Pres Trump was surrounded by enemies----Obama flunkies----ergo, we the people, were
forced into the servitude of a third Obama administration.

Obama's eight years in office allowed him to “seed his political allies throughout US govt institutions,” creating a “shadow government.”
Obama lies in wait like a common criminal, aided and abetted by the "ask no questions" ***-kissing media, rioters, arsonists, looters, etc.

In another way it makes his statements even more powerful.

If an officer wishes to remain anonymous when speaking out about what is in the manuals and our constitution, it illustrates his very point.

Remember, this officer is retired (or so the article says). And he’s not spilling any secrets. So he has little to lose by identifying himself.

As a side note, I dislike being the devil’s advocate here. But we all have seen those anonymous sources smearing Trump. So I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t trust any anonymous source.

just as well-funded

Which would include ALL of Soros and CCP financial support.

And, the incidentals like $350 million for election official payouts in the key battle states.

He has learned his lesson, and now is more aware of the fact he can't really trust anyone except for his tried and true. Should make for an interesting second term.

I've gotten to the point where I don't trust any sources or anybody. ;-)

“So he has little to lose by identifying himself.”

Probably doesn’t want to get “disappeared” or have any “accidents.”
