My sources for the preamble come mostly from here, here, and here.
The thread image depicts Kenyan police, trained by the Zionist entity, in a meeting with President Ruto before being sent to Haiti, sourced from this article.
As has been planned for the last couple years, foreign police officers have been inside Haiti for a few months now. It will surprise nobody to learn that this has not gone very well. Gangs continue to control much of the country, and violence has continued in the form of massacres and forced relocations (approximately 1.3 million). Something like 80% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is under the control of one gang or another.
The aim by the US was to import 2500 police officers to Haiti from a wide variety of countries. One of those was Kenya; President Ruto had to fight his own country’s courts to force this through, and ironically is now apparently considering withdrawing those officers once the UN mandate expires on October 2nd. The issue here is not only the limited manpower (Haiti has a population of 12 million), but also very pedestrian things, like the fact that the officers who arrive don’t even speak the language.
The situation in Haiti appears to be a fairly standard operation of American national control, in which both battling sides are being supported by the US in order to create maximum disorganization and prevent a coherent political force from arising and thus threatening their Caribbean interests. While the US funds foreign forces to arrive in Haiti to “control the situation” or similar justifications, the Haitian gangs get their weapons smuggled in from the US itself. That this is happening alongside escalations against Venezuela is obviously not a coincidence - in a world in which American interests are being gradually shrugged off, and where the American state military is becoming rapidly more impotent and unable to dissuade and defeat even tiny states like Yemen, total imperial dominion of their immediate surrounding territory must be ensured by any means necessary.
The police and the gangs are likely designed to be mutually reinforcing, without even much kayfabe of fighting each other. As an example, once the Kenyan police arrived, they immediately began brutalizing anti-government protestors instead of focussing on gang activity. They were trained by the Zionist entity, after all.

Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.

Another Gen-Z protest is taking place. This time in Morocco
https://apnews.com/article/morocco-protests-youth-corruption-912ca1a9dbc42e6d3d2f8a1067eb12f9
Interesting. I dont recall if Morocco strayed recently, but they host several blacksites, run their own settler enterprise, are close to the EU and support israhell - so there technically should not be a need for a colour revolution.
Not every movement is a colour revolution. Material conditions are shitty in many countries people will voice their displeasure. I mean even in the case of Nepal I don’t think it was started by the CIA from what I read on people’s dispatch website, however of course once the movement is rolling countries like the US might want to co-opt and steer the movements in a way that suits them.
We also see such protests happening in Réunion. Again it is not a colour revolution. Many people around the world saw what happened in Nepal and thought “why not in my country as well?”. We’ll see which of those will be co-opted in the coming months I guess. Most of them however lack the direction a vanguard party could provide which makes them easily vulnerable to being co-opted or basically not changing anything in the grand scheme of things.
And yes Morocco is politically and financially firmly in the US hands at the moment.
The “leaderless” “organic” “gen z” protests are definitely colour revolutions. Besides where did I state that “every movement is a colour revolution”? In fact what was written should actually suggest the opposite.
This was speculation if the current Moroccan government warrants replacement from an american POV.
This might have been me misunderstanding English. To me it read as if you were saying “This is clearly a colour revolution but I dont understand why there would be a need for one in Morocco”
Nepal was absolutely NED funded NGOs. Watch Brian Berletic’s video, there’s like a thousand different concrete proofs
How does it this contradict what qcop said? They just said that it was an organic movement, like all colour revilutuons, that might have been cooped by western elements. You’re not seriously suggesting there was no genuine outrage in Nepal?
Don’t know the guy but I’ll have a look.

Thanks!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
My semi-informed take is that color revolutions are less about what starts the revolution, and more about how the revolution is managed or co-opted as it proceeds. Meaning that you can’t really know if it’s going to be a color revolution until it’s finished. Although the less organized left forces are involved, and the more western NGOs are present, the more vulnerable it is
Ah thanks I was working with a wrong definition of what a color revolution was.
As others have noted it’s not so much the CIA goes to their color revolution program and clicks a given country after deciding “hmm time for a change”. Sometimes there’s an organic protest and the choice at a certain intensity becomes either the US co-opts it to ensure their continued control and to perhaps give a facelift because their old puppet regime is unpopular or the US sits it out and from their perspective that risks people with the genuine interests of the people there gaining power which is bad for the US.
So if:
It is a fact that unless a revolution is run by an ideologically disciplined central group with clear aims and goals, internal discipline, organization, etc which they maintain throughout that these types of protests have no protection against co-opting and it’s often very easy and the US is almost always the one behind it because of their massive global infrastructure for this stuff.
Morocco recently normalized relations with the Zionist entity and their shitty monarchy is overall pro-US. I’m not sure how much more pro-West you can get. NATOpedia says that Morocco is a semi-constitutional monarchy, so if the king isn’t overthrown or about to be overthrown, then nothing much will happen politically speaking.
Ok this one I’m fully on board regardless of what it is fuck the moroccan regime
Sounds more valid than the vague anti-corruption slogans of most ‘Gen-Z’ protests.
I saw some reporting about protests in Peru, interviewing some young guy on the street, talking about marching under the flag from ine piece, i stopped paying attention after that
I thought the Straw Hat flag thing was cool when it was in Palestine but now I see more doing it as some kind of rebuke to the traditionally union or leftist run protests. A way of saying “we belong to no political organization and only want to end corruption” without any real plan.
It really demonstrates the differences between the pre-modern, modern and late-modern (I refuse to use the word post modern because it is meaningless) revolutions. Pre-modem revolutions used abstract colors and shapes to represent their ideals, modern revolutions used more concrete symbols representing their production and trade, and late modern use the symbols of their consumption.
