RE: Color Revolutions
There are three phases to a Color Revolution. It's important to understand
this so you can see how the actions of the Sedition 6 fit into this pattern.
PHASE ONE:
-Form underground opposition networks.
-Create strong slogans and powerful information operations as recruitment tools.
-Upon a certain well-coordinated signal, well-funded, well-organized
mass protests “spontaneously” appear.
-The armed wing of the movement conducts carefully coordinated, precision
attacks on certain government infrastructure.
PHASE TWO:
-Discredit military, security, and law enforcement forces through information
operations, coordination with friendly media (Jimmy Kimmel? Talkin' to you,
Komrade Kelly), strikes, civil disobedience, rioting, and sabotage.
YOU ARE HERE
-Occupy civic facilities and refuse to leave until your demands are met.
-Strengthen and grow a highly organized logistics support network.
-Issue ultimatums to the government, threatening violent uprisings if demands
are unmet. The goal is to either have the government acquiesce or engage
in violent repression, in each case thereby delegitimizing itself.
PHASE THREE:
-Overthrow the government in a “non-violent” manner that is actually quite violent.
-Open attacks on authorities, seizure of government buildings, destruction of
government symbols.
-Coordinate media messaging. If the government attacks, media will accuse
the government of attacking "peaceful protestors.” If the government makes
concessions, it will appear impotent because protestors will not compromise.
-Widespread delegitimization of the government is effective in the minds of the
populace; the government either willingly cedes power or is violently removed.
-The once underground opposition forces' leadership now seizes control of the government.
