In this video, Mike Benz says the protests against king d0n0ld are from the "color revolution playbook" and an effort to impart on donald trump the "astroturfed patina of an authoritarian government not representing its people".
Apr 9, 2025. The Role Of Mass Street Protests In Color Revolutions -- And They're Taking The Playbook To Tesla.
YouTube Description: The role of riots and large-scale street protests in The Blob's standard toolkit for toppling popular democratically elected governments -- and how they're taking that toolkit to Tesla. Today on Vince Coglianese. Transcript Vince: Mike Benz joins us now. He's the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online and such a wise expert on all things Intel community and what's going on in our country. Mike, good to have you back with us, sir. 0:00 to 0:15. Mike: Yeah great to talk to you. Vince: Uh, okay let me let me start with those lefty protests we saw over the weekend. The uh, the group Indivisible, which has received millions upon millions of dollars of funding from George Soros and a lot of other uh, wealthy Democrats. Um, they they mobilized a bunch of lefties to get into the streets with a lot of incoherent messages this weekend. They were advocating for Ukraine transgenderism, Hamas, more abortions What was that? What did we all witness this weekend? 0:16 to 0:42. Mike: Well you witnessed the the color revolution playbook [1]. Which is to get people into the streets in mass demonstrations in order to create an astroturfed patina of an authoritarian government not representing the will of its people. In order to parlay that into destabilization of that government. Delegitimization of it. And therefore making it easier for the international community to pile on. Making it easier for the media to credibly portray that person [d0n0ld tRump or Marine La Pen] as corrupt [2]. Making it easier for juries to convict. Making it uh, more pressurized for judges to rule in their favor. This is, this is part of a strategy that that the US State Department and Central Intelligence Agency have been doing since the 1940s when we moved from, you know, hard war into this sort of, you know... used to try to poach military generals to do this. Uh, but you know, now that's sort of the top down way of doing a coup. The bottom up way is you work with the unions. You work with the civil society organizations. You work with the trade workers. You work with the with the agrieved ethnic minority groups and and gender minorities. And uh, and sexual orientation minorities. And you basically get everyone who doesn't like the government in the streets and in the faces of police. You provoke a crackdown. And so that's what they're doing now. That you've actually seen for months before this, uh, them saying why aren't we in the streets. We need to get more in the streets. And this is there's so much on this. But I'll I'll pause it there. 0:42 to 2:15. Vince: Well what it sounds like, as you're describing this. It sounds like they're grooming people at a populationwide level for revolution. 2:15 to 2:23. Mike: Oh that's exactly. That's exactly it. I mean, that is that is the whole purpose of it is. To uh, you know, is to eventually topple the government. And that's a that's a process that's slow. If the government starts off as being perceived as legitimate. And so this is the process of delegitimizing. And then once enough people feel that the government is illegitimate, then extraordinary actions can be taken. 2:23 to 2:45. Vince: And they co-opt the language of, uh, of our constitution to act as if they're on the side of it. So they'll use things like, uh, they're defending democracy. They're fighting back against tyranny. Uh, these are all in in my view cases of just immense projection. And we could obviously we could argue the specifics on the word "democracy". We live in a constitutional republic but under undergurted by democratic principles. But they use these words, uh, as if they're on the side of decency. 2:45 to 3:10. Mike: Well, you're being very generous when you, when you, when you even say that, in my view. You know, to me it is. Democracy, it is... Does not if you ask any one of those people to define what democracy is, they would probably look at you crosseyed and simply ask why you're asking the question. They don't know what it means. It can mean anything and everything. And that's because you have to understand, at the top of the, you know, the sort of power pyramid here is this color revolution cadre. Which is a professional class of political operatives corporate interests. Uh, civil society organizations, state department personnel, intelligence community folks whose professional jobs is so-called toppling dem... autocracies in the name of democracy. And so everything has to funnel into this dichotomy of autocracy/democracy. And, and that just means bad guy/good guy. Bad guy is an autocrat dictator. Good guy is a liberated group of people. If you, if you say, "Well is democracy elections?" -- They'll say "Yeah democracy is elections". Then you say, "Well Ukraine canceled elections. Why are we defending democracy there?" They say "Oh well, not in that case". And there's there's no... All it means is Blob control the foreign policy establishment. That is who's at the top here. You look at who's coordinating these protests. Indivisible goes back to Soros. Soros is you know the the sidearm of NATO and the State Department who co-invests all of his uh, properties and all of his funds along the lines of what the State Department is going to do in a particular industry or region Norm Eisen is speaking at these protests and has been calling for them. He has you know he's coordinating the lawfare side of this. He was the former State Department ambassador to the Czech Republic [3]. Michael McFaul is involved in this. He was the US ambassador to Russia. He actually wrote a whole seven step color revolution playbook for how to overthrow democratically elected governments where he bragged about how people ri... people in the streets rioting and doing mass protests has an impact on judges and gets judges to nullify election results [4]. Or gets judges to uh pass favorable rulings. Because they don't want to anger the mob. So the first step is creating the mob. 3:10 to 5:23. Vince: Yeah. And we saw that, um, with the Dobbs decision. When the Dobbs decision was leaked the left sent its foot soldiers to the homes of the Supreme Court justices to try to intimidate them into compliance ahead of the actual ruling coming out. Uh, so that that tactic was was very much on display [5]. You know these protests on Saturday, um, there were, uh, of course internet graphics going around on all of the things they wanted that Trump to quote keep his hands off. Hands off. And one of the things that was in the list was NATO. Hands off NATO. How do you interpret that Mike Benz? 5:23 to 5:57. Mike: Well it's exactly what we're talking about. You know, this is, you have this transatlantic foreign policy establishment. It's not just the US. It's, it's the entire stakeholder set. And this is where you get Brussels. This is where you get the EU. This is where you get, you know, George Soros and Bill Browder and all these guys [6]. They are international financeers. They are inter... the multinational corporations. And they have a plan to seize Eurasia from Russia. Russia has 75 trillion worth of natural resources. 75 trillion. That's the most of any country on Earth, by far. The US only has about 36 or so trillion in terms of total potential harvest And so if you can seize Eurasia, you seize Ukraine, you seize Kazakhstan and Usbekistsan and Turkiststan. You do regime change in Russia... you, re you know, they all go back to this 1990s glory days when we had just won the cold war and we had begun the process of gobbling up Russia. When we had installed Boris Yeltson [7]. Uh, it was basically a coup in the 1996 election that we orchestrated there. We plundered off uh trillions of dollars of their assets by uh, using USAID and USAID contracting out to the Harvard endowment. the Harvard, uh, Institute of International Development, got half a billion dollars from the US Agency for International Development to privatize that. And then it all came to a stop when when Putin came to power after Yeltson. And then began reasserting Russian nationalism. But all the corporations have begun have been skating towards where the puck was going, which was NATO expansion. All the way to the moon. And, and the and the effective vassal state control of all of central and eastern Europe. And then all the way. Eventually into Moscow itself [8]. And so Trump running on neutrality. Basically threw a monkey wrench in all of that. And so that's how you have this sort of, you know, this NATO function in there. Because NATO is the international police force that secures those investments. 5:57 to 8:02. Notes [1] Mike Benz's use of the term "color revolution" often carries a critical tone, framing these movements as orchestrated efforts by Western powers to destabilize governments. While he doesn't explicitly express nostalgia for the Soviet Union, his framing could resonate with those who view the breakup of the USSR as a loss of geopolitical stability or power. It’s an interesting angle to consider, especially given how loaded the term has become in political discourse. As per wikipedia, color revolutions are caused by "Authoritarianism, Electoral fraud, Human rights violations, Kleptocracy and Political corruption". Yet Mike Benz frames them as being bad. If color revolutions arise in response to issues like authoritarianism and corruption, you'd think they'd be seen as a positive force for change. Mike Benz’s framing, however, seems to focus on portraying these movements as tools of foreign interference rather than organic responses to injustice. This perspective aligns with his broader narrative about "The Blob" and alleged efforts to destabilize governments. [2] "The radical left uses the justice system to eliminate its opponents". Re-shared by Mike Benz, his message draws parallels between Marine Le Pen, Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro, and other conservative or nationalist figures, who they believe are targeted by political proceedings around the world. link. [3] Mike Benz has been critical of Norm Eisen, often framing him as a key figure in what Benz describes as "deep state" activities. For instance, Benz highlighted Eisen’s connections to Chief Justice John Roberts, claiming they worked together on "American and European Rule of Law issues" during Eisen's time as an ambassador. He has also commented on Eisen's "transitional justice" plans, suggesting they are part of a broader strategy to undermine conservative leaders like Donald Trump. Benz's critiques align with his narrative about systemic efforts to destabilize certain political figures. [4] Mike Benz has criticized Michael McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador to Russia, for his role in promoting "color revolutions" and transitional justice strategies. Benz has claimed that McFaul's work, including his book Transitions from Postcommunism, serves as a blueprint for orchestrating regime changes in countries like Russia. He has framed McFaul as a key figure in what Benz calls "The Blob", a term he uses to describe the foreign policy establishment. Benz's commentary often ties McFaul's academic and diplomatic efforts to broader narratives about undermining conservative leaders and nationalist movements. It’s clear Benz sees McFaul as emblematic of the strategies he critiques. [5] The Dobbs decision refers to the leaked draft opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case. This draft, leaked in May 2022, revealed the Supreme Court's intention to overturn Roe v. Wade. The leak led to widespread protests, including demonstrations outside the homes of some Supreme Court justices. Coglianese's framing of the protests as "intimidation tactics" aligns with a broader narrative that seeks to portray such demonstrations as coercive rather than expressions of public dissent. It's a charged interpretation, especially given the high stakes and emotions surrounding the case. [6] Bill Browder, a financier turned anti-corruption activist, doesn't have a formal role within NATO but has been vocal about issues that align with NATO's interests, particularly regarding Russia. Browder has been a prominent critic of Vladimir Putin and has advocated for stronger measures against Russian aggression, including sanctions and support for Ukraine. His work on the Magnitsky Act, which imposes sanctions on human rights abusers, has influenced international policies, some of which resonate with NATO's stance on promoting security and democracy. He's also spoken about NATO's role in countering threats from Russia, emphasizing the importance of unity among member states. While not directly tied to NATO, his advocacy and insights often intersect with the alliance’s broader goals. Mike Benz has been critical of figures like Bill Browder, often framing them as part of a broader narrative involving Western influence and alleged efforts to destabilize governments. Browder's advocacy for sanctions against Russia and his role in promoting the Magnitsky Act likely clash with Benz's views on global politics and sovereignty. It's clear there's a significant ideological divide between the two. [7] The U.S. didn't "install" Boris Yeltsin in the literal sense, but there is evidence suggesting significant American involvement in supporting his presidency, particularly during the 1996 Russian elections. Reports indicate that the US provided financial aid through international institutions like the IMF and sent political consultants to assist Yeltsin's campaign. This was motivated by a desire to prevent a Communist resurgence in Russia, which the US saw as counter to its interests. [8] Mike Benz appears to be discussing allegations that U.S. agencies, like USAID, played a role in privatizing Russian assets during Boris Yeltsin's presidency. He specifically mentions the Harvard Institute for International Development, which reportedly received funding from USAID to assist in Russia's transition to a market economy. Critics argue that this privatization process led to the concentration of wealth among a small group of oligarchs, while much of Russia's assets were sold off at undervalued prices. Benz seems to suggest that this was a form of exploitation, benefiting foreign interests rather than the Russian people. |
Mike Benz spouts pure propaganda in an attempt to legitimize his White Supremacist führer. What makes me say this, you may ask?
"Benz, under the pseudonym Frame Game, [was an] alt-right content creator who courted and interacted with white nationalists and posted videos espousing racist conspiracy theories, including the Great Replacement Theory that posits the white race is being eradicated in America for politics and profits".
As per Frame Game, "If you were to remove the Jewish influence on the West, white people would not face the threat of white genocide that they currently do".
Although I guess his excuse is that "Frame Game" was a persona he used to try to reach out to antisemites and convince them to change their ways?
"Mike Benz has acknowledged that he was behind the Frame Game persona, which was active during the rise of the alt-right around 2016. He has claimed that his intent was to engage with antisemitic individuals and groups as part of a deradicalization effort, aiming to shift their focus from hate and division toward unity. Benz has also stated that he does not endorse the views he expressed as Frame Game and would not repeat such tactics today" (via Copilot).
I call BS. BS proven by the fact that he fully endorses and advocates for the White Supremacist leader d0n0ld tRump. Also, "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time". Also, you don't need to pretend to be something you're not to try to convince them to change their views.
For example, Daryl Davis "convinced dozens of Klansmen to leave and denounce the KKK". He didn't do this by pretending to be a White Supremacist. Mike Benz is a White Supremacist, which is why he supports a White Supremacist leader who is rolling back DEI, firing government workers for not being White and Male, and erasing the accomplishments of minorities from government websites.

Mike Benz is a grifter. He's not an expert in anything. He spent two months at the state department and that's his "expertise". He either quit or got fired or couldn't get a security clearance or something but before he could even get his picture on the website, before he likely figured out where the restrooms were in the building, he was out. Here's his experience: He's an altright YouTuber that made hundreds of videos blaming Jews for "white genocide" and now he's doing the same thing but has changed the subject to "censorship" and "the blob". I truly cannot believe how many people are swallowing this nonsense. But here's the thing. When he spins these ridiculous conspiracy theories and makes up monsters out of researchers or now USAID, some people are gonna believe him. Not just politicians or the worlds richest man who use Benz's fever dream content as propaganda and justification for dismantling the government or weaponizing it against their perceived political enemies -- but people who may be unwell or looking for a cause. We saw it with pizzagate. And Qanon. Mike Benz and his dumb videos are gonna put actual people in danger. It's insane that we've allowed this charlatan to attain this kind of success. |
I say that Mike's Foundation for Freedom Online advocates for the "freedom" to spread disinformation online. It does bigly explain how d0n0ld "won" the election. Many morons are now surprised that d0n0ld is tanking the stock market and driving UP prices. They say this isn't what they voted for. They voted for the guy who said, "when I win I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one".
Mike Benz is another White Supremacist tinfoil hat wearing Turd. Just like Pete Hegseth. People protesting the fascist d0n0ld regime are not astroturf. They are people that voted for Kamala Harris. As well as nonvoters who regret not voting. And likely some people who stupidly voted for d0n0ld but "didn't know" he would do what he's currently doing. Because they believed d0n0ld's lies.
Will there be a violent revolt to try and remove d0n0ld? Mike seems to think it's a possibility. I don't know. It depends on how bad things get. If Democrats don't take back at least the House, I think we are in big trouble. Or worse trouble. We're already in big trouble.
The White Supremacists are back in power and they aren't going to give up power without a fight. I'm sure of that. Democrats believe in the peaceful transfer of power. trumpers DO NOT. As proven by the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Wow, Mike sounds like a real baddie... He should definitely run for office.
ReplyDeleteI'll take that as your concession that what I wrote about Mike aka "Frame Game" is true. Given that you gave zero pushback.
DeleteYou can assume that, but you'd be making an ASS of U & Me.
Delete,,,cuz if I had to refute every error you make, I'd need 100 assistants working full time just to stay up with you.
DeleteMike never called himself "Frame Game"? He admitted he did, but he was wrong? How do you know? Was "Frame Game" actually you? You believe in "White genocide"? Sounds like something you'd believe. Though that has now been averted, thanks to d0n0ld, the savior of the White Race.
DeleteEverything in existence is ultimately impermenant. Sooner or later the malignant narcissist Felon of the USA and his MAGA con will face an inglorious ending.
ReplyDeleteUntil then stay cool and fight on to bring the evil down.
