Demos Caught Staging Another 'Inorganic' Color Revolution Operation Against Trump

 Far-left, billionaire-funded NGOs—closely aligned with the rudderless and imploding Democratic Party—have been waging a psychological warfare operation against the American people. Framed as "grassroots," the party of hate and violence—evident in their "Tesla Takedown" color revolution aimed at killing Tesla to pressure Elon Musk on DOGE—has been building momentum in recent weeks to segue into anti-Trump protests this weekend. The goal is to manufacture the illusion that Trump is wildly unpopular, leveraging a vast network of dark money-funded NGOs that supply rent-a-protesters to rallies nationwide. 

Ahead of anti-Trump protests, we uncovered the Democratic Party's NGO war machine, totaling 186 NGOs, unions, and other radical leftist groups that supported Saturday's mass mobilization efforts of rent-a-protesters and, of course, a grassroots component of the protests (mainly old white angry liberals). 

Late Friday, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow openly boasted about the Democratic Party's color revolution operation, even giving airtime to Ezra Levin of the NGO Indivisible Project, who attempted to convince the audience that the anti-Musk and anti-Trump protests are organic...

Listen to this Dem warrior speak. 

…but as data analyst Tony Seruga revealed, the protest in Chicago drew only 7,500 attendees, with "92% having attended five or more Kamala Harris rallies, Antifa/BLM events, or pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests." He noted that CBS News attempted to claim "thousands" were present while organizers inflated the number to 30,000.

Here's more about Seruga's data: 

Organizers are claiming 30,000. CBS states a vague 'thousands'.

92% having attended 5 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests.

For more insight into what data we also look at in addition to GPS location data would be demographic and psychographic data using over 6,000 different databases, i.e., like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Pew Research Center, market research firms like YouGov, Experian, specialized tools like ESRI's Tapestry Segmentation, consumer surveys, social media platforms like 𝕏, Facebook, Linkedin.

Demographic data includes basic characteristics like age, gender, income, education level, occupation, marital status, family size, ethnicity, and where people live (e.g., city, state).

Psychographic data dives deeper into people's lifestyles, values, attitudes, interests, personality traits, social class, activities, and how they make purchasing decisions. For example, it might show if someone values sustainability, enjoys outdoor activities, participates in community activism.

While demographic data is straightforward, psychographic data can reveal sensitive personal details, like beliefs even life goals.

Additionally, by cross pollinating each device with other devices regularly within close proximity to the target device we are able to build a detailed profile for each target.

We have identified these six groups.

Once again, this is based a very sophisticated algorithm that looks at the behavioral metrics for each device, including the physical 1:1 proximity to leaders and paymasters from these groups in the past.

Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, Troublemakers, the Democratic Socialists of America and the Muslim Brotherhood.

  • Disruption Project: Legal status is unclear, likely operating illegally.

  • Rise & Resist: 501c4 non-profit

  • Indivisible Project: 501c4 non-profit

  • Troublemakers: Legal status is for profit.

  • Democratic Socialists of America: 501c4 non-profit

  • Muslim Brotherhood: 501c4 non-profit

We have also identified 11 additional groups paying for protests, demonstrations and riots, many are linked to foreign bad actors in countries funding terrorism.

Seruga's data from the Chicago rally closely mirrors the protest in Denver a few weeks earlier, in which he pointed out: "84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests, 31% had attended over 20."

Seruga warned the Democratic Party: "GPS—We have geofenced every event. This is not going to end well for the NGOs and non-profits below." 

The American people need to understand that the Democratic Party has deployed color revolutions—psychological operations disguised as popular uprisings—using rent-a-protesters to manufacture artificial sentiment. It's important to note that U.S. intelligence agencies use these same statecraft operations to topple governments overseas.

The problem here is that the Democratic Party's color revolution operation could gain enough momentum—just like their Color Revolution 1.0: the BLM riots. As Seruga warned: "This summer there 100% will be massive riots, anarchy, looting, burning and violent attacks," adding, "Our nation will soon be under a brutal attack by filthy, communist, scumbag, satanic, evil, traitors. Prepare! They are organizing now!" 

However, those waging the color revolution with regime change as their end goal—and who are willing to unleash chaos across the nation—now face a significant problem. We've already seen crazed Democrats resort to domestic terrorism by firebombing Tesla vehicles and showroom locations...

The days of taxpayer-funded color revolutions—think BLM riots—are over for now, and million-person marches may be more challenging to achieve. Yet leftist billionaires continue pouring money into these dark NGOs. 

If these color revolutions aim to sway public perception and manufacture consent for regime change, then the latest polling data from  DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners show failure: 

President Donald Trump is more popular now than before he sent the global markets into a frenzy by enacting sweeping new tariffs.

An exclusive DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey of over 1,000 registered voters conducted from March 31 to April 3 found that the Republican remains largely popular in the U.S.

The poll found that Trump's approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase over last week when it was 49 percent.

Trump's rising approval rating is surprising given the flak the White House has received over the tariff order signed Wednesday.

It is up by 13 points since March 7 among those aged 18 to 29.

Trump also saw a six-point increase in favorability among Democrats and independents, according to the survey.

The Republican's support among black voters skyrocketed 17 points since last week, the poll found.

When it comes to Trump's universal 10 percent tariff on all goods coming in from other countries, more Americans support the policy than oppose it.

As the nation witnessed during the Democratic Party's BLM riots under Trump's first term, this psychological warfare—fueled by controlled leftist MSM narratives, emotion-driven activism, and rent-a-protester networks—is extremely dangerous and often engineered to create chaos.

There should be an investigation into whether the billionaire-funded leftist NGOs—currently attempting to stage destabilization in the U.S., similar to the BLM riots—are backed by foreign interests, including governments, intelligence agencies, or NGOs with sinister anti-American motives. This raises serious national security concerns, as such movements could escalate into widespread unrest, leading to riots, violence, economic disruption, and even civil conflict.

"You Can't Just Live For Free Off Us": Trump Commerce Secretary

 by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

Trump administration Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick defended new tariffs announced Friday, noting “Today was the day of the beginning of saying, I’m sorry, you can’t just live for free off of us.”

In a CNN interview, Lutnick explained that “the largest tariff and trade barrier country in the world is China. And they don’t have inflation.”

“So these things don’t occur the way people suggest they do. This is a reordering of global trade for the benefit of America,” Lutnick continued.

He further urged, “these people have all been living in our house. They have been driving our car. They come by and visit, open our fridge and eat our food whenever they want.”

“They have taken advantage of us,” he emphasised.

“You have to pay,” Lutnick reiterated, adding “And what’s going to happen is, the United States of America will get stronger. Our economy will grow much, much faster than the rest of the world, right?”

Watch:

President Trump declared Friday that the tariff policy is already working and that every country has already contacted him looking to make a better trade deal.

“Every country has called us, that’s the beauty of what we do, we’ve put ourselves in the driving seat,” Trump declared.

He added, “If we’d asked most of these countries to do us a favour, they’d have said no, now they’ll do almost anything for us… the tariffs give us great power to negotiate”.

Trump rejected the assertion that the tariffs will be damaging, saying ” We inherited a terrible economy, as you know, with a lot of problems, including the loss of manufacturing and plants closed up and down the country.”

“We’ve lost 90,000 plants since NAFTA… and about six million jobs, it’s a sick patient that went through an operation on liberation day, it’s going to be a booming country,” he further proclaimed.

Liberals’ license: How the left finds release in an age of rage

 Those words from author Elie Mystal, a regular commentator on MSNBC, are hardly surprising from someone who previously called the Constitution “trash” and urged not just the abolition of the U.S. Senate but also of “all voter registration laws.”

But Mystal’s radical rhetoric is becoming mainstream on the left, as shown by his best-selling books and popular media appearances.

There is a counter-constitutional movement building in law schools and across the country. And although Mystal has not advocated violence, some on the left are turning to political violence and criminal acts. It is part of the “righteous rage” that many of them see as absolving them from the basic demands not only of civility but of legality.

They are part of a rising class of American Jacobins — bourgeois revolutionaries increasingly prepared to trash everything, from cars to the Constitution.

The Jacobins were a radical group in France that propelled that country into the worst excesses of the French Revolution. They were largely affluent citizens, including journalists, professors, lawyers, and others who shredded existing laws and destroyed property. It would ultimately lead not only to the blood-soaked “Reign of Terror” but also to the demise of the Jacobins themselves as more radical groups turned against them.

Of course, it is not revolution on the minds of most of these individuals. It is rage.

Rage is the ultimate drug. It offers a release from longstanding social norms — a license to do those things long repressed by individuals who viewed themselves as decent, law-abiding citizens.

Across the country, liberals are destroying Tesla cars, torching dealerships and charging stations, and even allegedly hitting political dissenters with their cars.

Last week, affluent liberal shoppers admitted that they are shoplifting from Whole Foods to strike back at Jeff Bezos for working with the Trump administration and moving the Washington Post back to the political center. They are also enraged at Mark Zuckerberg for restoring free speech protections at Meta.

One “20-something communications professional” in Washington explained “If a billionaire can steal from me, I can scrape a little off the top, too.”  These affluent shoplifters portrayed themselves as Robin Hoods.

Of course, that is assuming Robin Hood was stealing organic fruit from the rich and giving it to himself.

On college campuses, affluent students and even professors are engaging in political violence.

Just this week, University of Wisconsin Professor José Felipe Alvergue, head of the English Department, turned over the table of College Republicans supporting a conservative for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. He reportedly declared, “The time for this is over!”

Likewise, a mob this week attacked a conservative display and tent on the campus of the University of California-Davis as campus police passively watched. The Antifa protesters, carrying a large banner with the slogan “ACAB” or “all cops are bastards,” trashed the tent and carried it off.

Antifa is a violent and vehemently anti-free speech group that thrives on U.S. college campuses. In his book “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” Mark Bray explains that “most Americans in Antifa have been anarchists or antiauthoritarian communists. … From that standpoint, ‘free speech’ as such is merely a bourgeois fantasy unworthy of consideration.”

Of course, many of the American Jacobins are themselves bourgeois or even affluent figures. And they are finding a host of enablers telling them that the Constitution itself is a threat and that the legal system has been corrupted by oligarchs, white supremacists, or reactionaries.

This includes leading academics and commentators who are denouncing the Constitution and core American values. Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley Law School, is the author of “No Democracy Lasts Forever: How the Constitution Threatens the United States.”

In a New York Times op-ed, “The Constitution Is Broken and Should Not Be Reclaimed,” law professors Ryan D. Doerfler of Harvard and Samuel Moyn of Yale called for the nation to “reclaim America from constitutionalism.”

Commentator Jennifer Szalai has scoffed at what she called “Constitution worship.” “Americans have long assumed that the Constitution could save us,” she wrote. “A growing chorus now wonders whether we need to be saved from it.”

As intellectuals knock down our laws and Constitution, radicals are pouring into the breach. Political violence and rage rhetoric are becoming more common. Some liberals embraced groups like Antifa, while others shrugged off property damage and violent threats against political opponents. It is the very type of incitement or rage rhetoric that Democrats once accused Trump of fostering in groups like the Proud Boys.

Members of Congress such as Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) have called for Tesla CEO Elon Musk to be “taken down” and said that Democrats have to be “OK with punching.”

Some take such words as a justification to violently attack a system supposedly advancing the white supremacy or fascism. Fortunately, such violence has been confined so far to a minority of radicalized individuals, but there is an undeniable increase in such violent, threatening speech and in actual violence.

The one thing the American Jacobins will not admit is that they like the rage and the release that it brings them. From shoplifting to arson to attempted assassination, the rejection of our legal system brings them freedom to act outside of morality and to take whatever they want.

Democratic leaders see these “protests” as needed popularism to combat Trump — to make followers “strike ready” and “to stand up and fight back.”

For a politician, a mob can become irresistible if you can steer it against your opponents. The problem is controlling the mob once it has broken free of the bounds of legal and personal accountability.

Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University and the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.

India unlikely to retaliate against Trump's tariffs as deal talks progress, sources say

  India does not plan to retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump's 26% tariff on imports from the Asian nation, an Indian government official said, citing ongoing talks for a deal between the countries.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration has looked into a clause of Trump's tariff order that offers a possible reprieve for trading partners who "take significant steps to remedy non-reciprocal trade arrangements", said the official, who declined to be named as the details of the talks are confidential.

New Delhi sees an advantage in being one of the first nations to have started talks over a trade deal with Washington, and is better placed than Asian peers like China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which have been hit by higher U.S. tariffs, a second government official said, also declining to be named.

In the days after Trump's tariff announcement that has shaken global markets to their core, India joined nations like Taiwan and Indonesia in ruling out counter tariffs, even as the European Commission prepares to hit U.S. products with extra duties following China's retaliation.

India and the U.S. agreed in February to clinch an early trade deal by autumn 2025 to resolve their standoff on tariffs.

The Indian prime minister's office did not immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment.

Reuters reported last month that New Delhi is open to cutting tariffs on U.S. imports worth $23 billion.

Modi's administration has taken a number of steps to win over Trump, including lowering tariffs on high-end bikes and bourbon, and dropping a tax on digital services that affected U.S. tech giants.

Indonesia will not retaliate against Trump tariff, official says

 Indonesia will not retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump's 32% trade tariff on Southeast Asia's largest economy, its senior economic minister said on Sunday in the government's first response to the levy.

Chief Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto said in a statement that Indonesia would pursue diplomacy and negotiations to find mutually beneficial solutions after Trump announced sweeping global tariffs on Wednesday.

"The approach was taken by considering the long-term interest of bilateral trade relation, as well as to maintain the investment climate and national economic stability," Airlangga said, adding that Jakarta will support potentially impacted sectors, such as apparel and footwear industry.

Trump's tariff on Indonesia, one of six hard-hit Southeast Asian countries, is set to take effect on Wednesday.

The Indonesian government will gather inputs from businesses on Monday to help formulate strategy to address the U.S. tariff, and will find ways to increase trade with European countries as an alternative to the U.S. and China, Airlangga said.

Jakarta has said it would send a high-level delegation to the U.S. for direct negotiations with the government.

Indonesia posted a $16.8 billion trade surplus last year with the U.S., which was its third-biggest export destination, receiving shipments worth $26.3 billion in 2024, according to Indonesian government data.

Indonesia’s main exports to the U.S. include electronics, apparel and clothing, and footwear.

Venezuela warns of 'false flag operation' to 'attack' ExxonMobil platform

 Venezuela warned on Saturday of an alleged “false flag operation” to “attack” a platform belonging to the United States oil company ExxonMobil, which is producing crude oil with Guyana’s permission in waters that Caracas considers to be still demarcated.

In a broadcast on state-run VTV, Venezuela’s Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez linked ExxonMobil, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, opposition leader María Corina Machado, and US businessman Erik Prince to the operation.

“They thought and planned to attack this ExxonMobil platform in order to justify some kind of retaliation and action against Venezuela,” Rodriguez claimed.

“New evidence of this operation by ExxonMobil, Erik Prince, Machado, and Marco Rubio has reached our hands,” the Caribbean country’s hydrocarbons minister added.

The remarks come after Rubio warned Venezuela in March that a military attack on Guyana or ExxonMobil would be a big mistake and “a very bad day” for the government of Nicolás Maduro, backing Georgetown in its territorial dispute with Caracas over the Essequibo, an area of some 160,000 square kilometers (99,419 square miles) rich in oil and other natural resources.

Rubio then warned that the US “has a big navy and can go almost anywhere, anywhere in the world,” adding that he would not go into detail about what the US would do if Venezuela attacked Guyana.

On Saturday, Rodríguez stressed that Venezuela is the only country that is the “legitimate owner” of the Essequibo region and that the rest is “an invention.”

“This territorial dispute does not exist, it is an invention. We inherited this territory from Simón Bolívar, and we will defend it,” she said.

The official also called the Guyanese authorities “insolent and thieves” who are “stealing the oil and gas that belongs to Venezuelan men and women.”

“We are not afraid of them. Let them come, but if they dare, they will bite the dust,” she said.

On Saturday, the Venezuelan government presented Admiral Neil Villamizar as their candidate for governor of the Essequibo for the regional elections on May 25.

Villamizar noted that the “struggle is to regain sovereignty in this territory” and confirmed that Venezuela would achieve this “sooner or later.”

The border dispute over the Essequibo began with the Paris Arbitration Award of 1899, which gave sovereignty over the area to then-British Guyana.

Decades later, Venezuela annulled this ruling and signed the Geneva Agreement of 1966 with the United Kingdom, creating a commission to resolve the historical controversy, which has yet to materialize

CBP enforces tariffs, collected over $200M per day in additional associated revenue

 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is already collecting over $200 million per day in extra revenue as it enforces a massive new wave of tariffs under President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" plan.

"CBP has successfully implemented 13 tariff-related presidential actions during this Administration," a CBP spokesperson said in a statement to FOX Business. "Serving on America’s frontline, CBP strictly enforces all laws and Presidential directives to secure our economic sovereignty."

Using powers under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the Trump administration is targeting goods from dozens of countries, including China.

On April 3, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on all passenger vehicles and light trucks imported from any country, and on Saturday, a 10% global tariff took effect under IEEPA, with certain exclusions, CBP said.

Beginning April 9, 86 countries will face new reciprocal tariffs ranging from 11% to 50%, with some exclusions, and on May 2, products from China and Hong Kong valued at or under $800 and shipped outside the international postal system will no longer be eligible for duty-free treatment and will be subject to standard duties, according to CBP.

Meanwhile, postal shipments from China and Hong Kong will face a 30% duty or $25 per item, whichever is greater, starting in May. That rate will increase to $50 per item after June 1.

CBP says it’s working closely with other agencies to roll out these changes and will keep the trade community updated through its online messaging system.

The agency has already pulled in billions from earlier Trump executive orders

That includes $4.8 billion under EO 14195, which targets synthetic opioids from China; $861 million under EO 14193, aimed at stopping drug flows from Canada; over $2 billion under EO 14194, addressing trade issues at the southern border; and $1 billion collected under Section 232 duties on steel and aluminum.

"CBP is uniquely positioned to implement and enforce the President’s tariffs," the CBP spokesperson said. "We are fully equipped and ready to collect duties owed."

Tariff rates for specific goods can be found in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S.
