An organization of radical left-wing activists has posted an online guide to disruption that outlines a plan to shut down the country and force President Donald Trump from power in the event that the 2020 election is too close to call.
The guide, Stopping the Coup, available as a Google doc, is being circulated by a group called ShutDownDC. It casts its plan for disruption as a response to an imagined coup by the president in the case of a close election.
In an email promoting the guide, ShutDownDC declares: Preventing Donald Trump from stealing the election and remaining in office is likely to take mass, sustained disruptive movements all over the country. The guide is a manual to that disruption.
Parts of the guide are committed to ensuring a fair election. Parts of it, however, read like a manual for staging a coup rather than a guide to preventing one:
In the context of a coup or highly contested election we need to be clear that our actions must directly affect the structures and pillars of power. Our largest asset in this regard utilizes the ideas of non-compliance through massive, broad based direct action. Where we can, we need to be in the streets, on the highways, or at the sites of power and power holders. In our jobs and lives we must refuse to allow those taking control the legitimacy of the power they seek through strikes, slowdowns, and boycotts, and public refusal to accept an illegitimate ruling party.
Another section urges activists to stop American life from continuing if the election does not go their way (original emphasis):
In order to really win we will need to force some pillars of power (business, military, media, or other major institutions) to decide to side with the people, or...

Trump wins in a landslide... The Left loses what little is left of their collective minds and riot everywhere...
We wade in and clean house like we should have done decades ago to these Socialist dirtbags...
I’m good with it.
Not Worried about Trump backing down to these creeps
If these ingrates go too far he will unleash Hell on them to protect the Americans that voted for him.
For example the have an interactive map of protest targets in Philadelphia, so protestors can know how to get to people's homes for the typical Antifa/BLM late night visit.
Here is the map for Philadelphia
A related group is Political Research which produces a variety of materials to support left wing causes, and repeats the usual leftist lies. Their tools for action page is a good compendium of far left operational guides.
A lot of the material isn't what you would need if your purposes and protests weren't oriented to bad purposes.
Thanks JungleGoat77.
Big run on wood chipper rentals before the election.
Democrats are the violent thugs, liars, and criminals of our time.
We aren’t violent unless it’s absolutely necessary. We believe in law. Democrats believe in intimations and force. Have you looked at the numbers? Biden supporters in the form of BLM and Antifa have done two billion dollars worth of damage in the country and killed scores of people this year. THEY are the violent ones...
Democrats are totalitarians.
Our plan is to enforce laws against their violence.
;>)
Where art thou, Pinochet?
People in Florida aren't putting up with that Antifa crap.
Gov. (Ron DeSantis) also said if any Florida city 'de-funds' the police the State will stop sending that city money.(In Florida each city gets money from the State based on population... So it's NOT a minor threat.)
As far as people trapped in democrat hellhole cities with democrat Mayors AND democrat Governors - my suggestion is move out or start electing Republicans
I note BBM called Biden ‘just another white supremacist’. So if Slow Joe is elected expect no letup on the insurgency. The goal is for Joe to fold within a year and Harris will become President. That will go a long way to putting the fetters of real slavery on patriotic or just middle class Americans.
Disruption of voting on Election Day the more likely intent.
More like the Rennie Davis/Arthur Waskow “May Day Manual” of 1971 which was used to try and shut DC down. They did block the 14th Street bridge, a main feed-in to DC from Route 95 for hours by abandoning used cards in the middle of it.
DC police, led by the I ncompetent Chief Jerry Wilson, totally mishandled the demonstrations, arresting thousands of peaceful protestors and got sued, successfully for millions of dollar.
There is a new book out about this, written from a leftist point of view which may not tell the whole story of the communists behind the protests.
I know something about it as I was there covering it as a reporter and just missed getting a serious injury from a large rock thrown by a Maoist psycho, probably from the Progressive Labor Party (and or its VVAW membership).
Even Trump noticed it:
From Trump News The Counterintelligence Investigations of Donald Trump trump-news.orgrealDonaldTrump on Twitter: READ: Left-wing Radicals Post Online Guide to Disrupting the Country if Election is Close breitbart.com/politics/2020/ via @BreitbartNews. They know it is over for them. Law & Order will prevail, strong version!
Well, sometimes “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

We seem to be approaching one of those times.
Went to google drive (yecch).
Did not see a download button.
Help, kemosabe?
Never mind. I figured out how to copy and dump them into word docs.
Not using MyDrive. Not ever.
The Disruption Project is dedicated to supporting uprisings, resistance and mass direct action. Our belief is that when mass numbers of people stand up and take action against the unjust systems of racial capitalism, the heteropatriarchy, white supremacy and settler colonialism, [*giggle*] we have the ability to force ruptures and dismantle these systems. In other countries we have seen uprisings nonviolently topple dictatorships and illegitimate governments. We know that courage and numbers can take us far, but we also need strategy, discipline, tactical acumen, and division of labor. With the mix of skills, thoughtfulness, courage and numbers of folks, we have a shot at real systems change.
Feel free to contribute to this site. Revolutionary people power gets us to a different society where: everyone has what they need to live and adequate leisure time. We can dismantle the systems that uphold structural racism and win reparations for Black folks, win some sort of repatriation of land to indigenous people, create an open US border and an end to imperialism, and a just transition out of a destructive economy. We think we are often told to compartmentalize demands, justice for one family, when we need to be looking at the wealthiest and most powerful people, financiers and corporations who profit from this system. Feel free to reach out at info@disruption-project.org and well be in touch. Thank you for your courage. We know if you are reading this, you share our concern and principle that we do not support harm to other human beings in any way.
Finally, a note on the times in which we live. Some of us are in the streets or doing everything we can to support what is a true citizens rebellion. [Oh rly? A "true citizen's rebellion"? Thugocracy is the best word for it. Just ask Matthew Dolloff.] Others of us see this as an opportunity to win previously unwinnable victories that diminish the power of the prison and police complex. While we are inclined to think that emboldened mass action creates bolder mass action which begets a nonviolent overthrow of these systems, we have the utmost respect for those who are trying to win and consolidate structural reforms at this time. Think about your role and theory of change, but this is no time to be an armchair activist. Show up, however you can and then some. And please stay as safe as you can, the destruction of the pandemic is a mirror of the racist society in which we live.
My comments in red font. 'Pod
There is a legitimate concern that armed white supremacist militias might attempt to scare voters away under the guise of monitoring fraud. Later in this guide, you can find some tips on dealing with militias and white supremacists. Folks working in the Frontline are organizing people to help do poll watching and on the ground de-escalation of people who might attempt to intimidate voters at the polls.
Hmm, who in recent years has tried to intimidate voters? The New Black Panthers.
