Joe Rogan Defines Chaos In Minneapolis As "Color Revolution"

 Left-wing unrest in Minneapolis and elsewhere across the country - whether protests or riots over the past few weeks or over the last decade targeting President Trump and the America First agenda - is being framed as a color revolution operation fueled by dark-money-funded NGOs, and that narrative is now reaching a wider audience.

Democrats are uneasy that this framing is gaining traction after the left-wing revolution was most recently discussed on The Joe Rogan Experience, where host Joe Rogan and guest Andrew Wilson, a conservative podcaster, discussed it.

Rogan discussed how, shortly after Nick Shirley’s investigation into alleged large-scale Somali-linked daycare and autism fraud, there was an immediate “narrative shift” that appeared to coincide with what he described as a coordinated pressure campaign on the ground against federal agents - something Rogan characterized as a “color revolution.”

"For people that don't, it's a coordinated effort to cause chaos, and this is a very coordinated thing," Rogan said.

He continued, "The idea that this is an organic protest, these riots are organic, is nonsense. It's probably nonsense because now they have access to the Signal chats."

From the beginning, we have framed much of the left-wing pressure campaigns as far from organic, pointing instead to dark-money-funded NGOs supporting activist groups on the ground opposing federal deportation operations. It was not until “Signal Gate,” however, that the nation could see how heavily coordinated these efforts allegedly were...

Now these left-wing NGOs are seeking spring protests, as they have riled up young people to carry out their anti-ICE agenda.

They also plan to launch campaigns nationwide:

• NYC Socialists Prepare Mass Mobilization Of 4,000 Anti-ICE Army

As well as targeting critical economic chokepoints.

• Left-Wing NGOs Transition To Targeting 'Critical Economic Chokepoints' In Minneapolis

The chaos in Minneapolis is part of the left-wing's protest industrial complex that moves from one high-profile news event to another - from George Floyd protests to pro-Palestinian demonstrations - mobilizing activists with aims at revolution.

There is good news: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sat down with journalist Christopher Rufo earlier this month to discuss plans to investigate dark-money-funded NGOs sowing chaos nationwide.

EXCLUSIVE: Treasury ⁦@SecScottBessent⁩ tells me that the Trump Administration will launch investigations into left-wing nonprofits that serve as a front for violent protests and criminal obstruction of ICE operations. It’s time to stop left-wing terrorism in America. pic.twitter.com/roorsk4XLA

Let's remind readers about retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn's comments in late November:

• General Flynn Calls For National Address From Trump On Color Revolution Threat

As warmer weather approaches, the protest industrial complex will be operating at full steam. Rogan’s characterization of the chaos in Minneapolis as resembling a color revolution presents optically displeasing headlines for Democrats, as that framing increasingly circulates to wider and wider audiences.
