Democrats are doubling down…
In case you haven’t been paying attention, members of the intelligence community, law enforcement, and our military have been involved in a serious operation to cripple the Trump campaign, remove President Trump from office, and delegitimize his presidency. This is not a “conspiracy theory” as the Democrats would have you believe, but a factual finding backed up by evidence and sworn testimony.
Now that President Trump faces re-election, the very same Democrats appear to be doubling down on their efforts to cripple the current campaign and, should president Trump be re-elected, delegitimize the election results for the sole purpose of either manipulating the vote with an attack based on a large “mail-in” turnout or to contest the results so that the Courts or Congress might decide the election.
Even more troubling, we are beginning to see signs that our intelligence community and military are attempting to use strategies formerly used in destabilizing foreign governments here in the United States.
The “color revolution”…
One such strategy is known colloquially as a “color revolution” after foreign movements such as Ukraine’s Orange Revolution in 2004, Kuwait’s Blue Revolution in 2005, and Iran's Green Revolution in 2009. Basically, it is a coordinated attack on a government by contesting its electoral legitimacy, organizing mass street protests, including violent acts of civil disobedience, leveraging friendly media contacts by granting access to stories, exploiting a reporter's ideological bent, coercion (blackmail), or providing direct payments.
The tactics are well-known and are being deployed in the open.
(1) Assemble a coalition of leaders with similar objectives, especially those who can attract a following of “useful idiots.”
(2) Create organizations with fanciful titles and catchy acronyms to disguise the activities of those leaders.
(3) Claim that any evidence of an organized effort to cripple the candidate or delegitimize a campaign as little more than a “conspiracy theory” and denigrate all who suggest that there is a behind-the-scenes effort to interfere with the election and a duly elected official.
(4) Create a “boogeyman” that can serve as an external foreign party that is attempting to influence campaigns or the outcome of the election.
(5) Condition the battlefield with rumors, leaks, false narratives, and speculations that are widely covered in the conventional media, talk radio, cable news, and social media sites. Use anonymous sources or frame harmful material as unattributed “allegations.” Suggest that you have secret knowledge not available to others. Do not hesitate to offer payment to influencers for their efforts or endorsements. Use the power of celebrity and name-brand individuals as a proxy for credibility.
(6) Delay the vote tally using any means at hand and instruct candidates not to concede the election results, even if those results appear to be overwhelming.
(7) Suggest that “voter suppression” or “forged ballots, manipulated counts, or incorrect summaries” were to blame for underwhelming results. Demand a time-delaying recount.
(8) Challenge the legitimacy of any election results using campaign rules and regulations, and shift the fight into the Courts.
(9) Create a popular uprising that appears to be an organic grassroots protest, but is a carefully-guided attempt by paid professional agitators (astroturfing). Violence ensures media coverage and no matter how small the group, camera angles can be used to create a false perception with the assistance of media insiders.
(10) If caught engaging in unethical or illegal activities, attribute those activities to the opposition.
Can this be real, or are these items just a “coincidence?”

Hillary Clinton says Biden should not concede the election ‘under any circumstances’
The former Democratic presidential nominee predicted Republicans could try to “mess up absentee balloting” for a narrow advantage in the Electoral College.
“Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances, because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch, and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.” <Source: NBC News>

Kamala Harris: Biden could lose because of Russian interference
Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala D. Harris said Sunday that she thinks Russian interference could cause Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden to lose the 2020 election.
Ms. Harris told CNN that Russia will be at the “front of the line” to interfere in the 2020 election.
“Could it cost you the White House?” asked CNN personality Dana Bash about Russian election meddling to Ms. Harris.
“Theoretically, of course,” Ms. Harris answered. “Yes.”
Ms. Harris, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she and Mr. Biden are ‘realists’ that refuse to ignore Russian aggression. She did not say what information she explicitly relied on to make her assessment.
“We have classic voter suppression, we have what happened in 2016, which is foreign interference, we have a president who is trying to convince the American people not to believe in the integrity of our election system and compromise their belief that their vote might actually count,” Ms. Harris told CNN. “These things are all at play and I am very realistic, Joe is very realistic, that until we can win…that there will be many obstacles that people are intentionally placing in front of Americans’ ability to vote.” <Source: Washington Times>

Dem PAC to use anti-terror technology to counter Trump’s campaign messages
A Democrat-aligned political action committee is planning to deploy technology initially developed to counter terrorist propaganda to combat President Trump’s campaign messages about the coronavirus — an effort that will benefit his challenger, Joe Biden, according to a report.
The group, Defeat Disinfo, is being advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former head of US forces in Afghanistan, the Washington Post reported Friday.
They will use artificial intelligence to map out Trump’s claims on social media and then attempt to build a counter-narrative through a network of 3.4 million influencers across the country — even paying some users with large followings to oppose the president.
“It’s often said campaigns are a battle of ideas, but they’re really a battle of narratives,” David Eichenbaum, a Democratic media consultant who is a senior adviser to the PAC, told the newspaper. “Today those narratives spread quickly online.”
Tech expert Chiris Hougland, who received initial funding from DARPA, the Pentagon’s research arm, as part of an endeavor to fight terrorism overseas, is heading up the initiative. <Source: New York Post>

Soros strikes again …
A few days ago, I wrote a blog post, MEDIA CONDITIONING THE POLITICAL BATTLEFIELD FOR DEMOCRATS?, mentioning that Transition Integrity Project (TIP), which claimed to be a bi-partisan group that was “wargaming” potential election outcomes to prevent chaos after the November 3, 2020, election. It should surprise nobody that TIP was founded by Rosa Brooks, who has a long-term intimate association with George Soros and the Open Society Foundation.
Of course, the immediate result of this alleged simulation should surprise nobody…
“So we built a series of war games, sought out some of the most accomplished Republicans, Democrats, civil servants, media experts, pollsters and strategists around, and asked them to imagine what they’d do in a range of election and transition scenarios. A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power. Every other scenario we looked at involved street-level violence and political crisis.”
And, then there was the attempt to alienate the military with a false narrative…

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, wrote:
Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’
The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.
When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.
Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

Not only were there emails previously released under the Freedom of Information Act from the weather group and the helicopter pilot-in-command, along with other materials that proved that the story was false and misleading, but the author acknowledged that the could be problems with the story. The author still refused to retract the story.
Even John Bolton, no lover of Donald Trump, said he was there when the decision was made, and the story was false. Even if Jeffrey Goldberg later concedes the report contained errors refuted by factual evidence, the damage has been done because the news was spread far and wide by the media. Goldberg’s job appears to be safe because one of the largest investors in The Atlantic is Steve Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, who is a rabid Biden supporter.
The fact that the Obama/Biden Administration was openly dismissive of the military, its leadership, and severely cut its funding should serve as a counter-narrative if the media were willing to engage in ethical journalism.
Bottom line…
The Democrats are a clear and present danger to America. From selling out to our enemies in China, Russia, and elsewhere to creating domestic chaos. We are, once again, being screwed.
