Years ago, I saw a color revolution up close. I had no idea that’s what was happening at the time which was by design. Color revolutions aren’t staged over fictitious grievances or ambitions. For instance, in Ukraine, they really do hate the Russians and have real historical experiences which instills a deep anger against Russia. Many of them really would rather join the EU than live in Russia’s orbit.
What happens with a color revolution is that the United States takes these grievances and steers them into confrontation that, in turn, produces political change in favor of its agenda. Most of the locals involved don’t need to be aware this is going on, and those who understand the foreign involvement consider the U.S. to be a helpful outside partner instead of themselves as its proxies.
What happened in Ukraine back in 2014 was dramatically violent and neither side backed down, leading to a civil war that’s been going on ever since. It usually doesn’t get this bad. For example, President Evo Morales of Bolivia decided it was better to seek political asylum in Mexico than preside over domestic bloodshed even though he was clearly overthrown in a coup for making resource deals that didn’t benefit the U.S.
The current situation in China is certainly interesting. You’ve got an event (a bunch of people die in a fire) that sparks anger. This is the same thing that happened in Ukraine. This event then turns into protests against the head of the government (which is currently transpiring). It’s probably much bigger than the Chinese are letting on.
There’s a few of things to keep in mind when considering the situation. First, if something really bad happens in China, the government will often pretend like nothing happened if it believes this to be a viable option. Second, they’re up in arms about color revolutions, so I doubt they’d allow NGOs into the country to lay the groundwork for one to happen. It takes infrastructure to pull these things off. There’s no way Xi would allow what was done in Hong Kong to be scaled up nationwide. Third, the Western media will do its best to make hay out of literally anything that will embarrass the Chinese government.
As someone quite familiar with China and who has also been through some pretty serious COVID insanity, my take on the situation is that the population is fed up. The fact that there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight to the dystopia they’ve been put through for years doesn’t exactly have a calming effect. In other words, the Chinese government brought this on itself. It’s simply an intolerable way to live and even a race as compliant to authority as the Chinese are going to lose it eventually. Their “Zero COVID” policy is absolutely insane, even by Asian standards.
From what I’ve seen, none of these protestors have been using the ANTIFA black bloc tactics they were taught in Hong Kong. China isn’t North Korea. When people become agitated, they protest. My take is that it looks pretty organic and, as such, it won’t go anywhere, but hopefully they get some concessions out of the government. It will probably mostly tolerate what it has to tolerate, as long as they don’t try getting a trucker convoy going.
China is an interesting place because much of what’s being done there is what the WEF wants to do to us here in the West. It’s really scary stuff. We’ll be constantly monitored and tracked. Our status could change at any moment, instantly cutting a dissenter off from society. Any appeals process would address your concerns after you’re already a bleached skeleton.
Something to bear in mind is that, in China, things are done which make for great humor articles and then it happens elsewhere. Nearly three years ago, I wrote an article for Identity Dixie making fun of the situation and then found myself detained by a European government in a gulag while on a business trip. It’s a long story, but I sure appreciated the irony when I was sitting there all by myself. I received a hefty bill for the privilege of doing that, it was a really nice experience.
Nowadays, when I hear somebody say “I ain’t going back to jail,” the sentiment resonates. My philosophy on what would happen if the U.S. government tried to do this is pretty simple – I’d never be taken alive. The quarantine gulag thing would be pretty hard to do to Americans because we’re a different species from Europeans and Australians. It would probably only work if they could nab people at chokepoints, like the airport customs line. We also tend to be well armed, which is why they’re pushing so hard to eliminate the Second Amendment.
Knowing what you know about who’s in charge and having seen everything that’s happened over the past few years, do you honestly think they wouldn’t round us all up, throw us in a FEMA camp, and stick things up our asses if they had the power to do so? After that, we’d probably be shot in the head. If anybody asked about why they needed to stick this thing up his ass if they were going to shoot him in the head next, so why don’t they just get to the shootin’, they’d probably become hysterical about trusting the science.
Normal people look at me like I’m insane when I make statement like I’d rather take a bullet to the head than a needle to my arm. They lack the insight to see where this is going, even if it’s already gone there someplace else. Somehow, they can’t understand that there’s already a country where the government is rounding up citizens en mass and sticking things up their asses. That’s why I’ll have zero sympathy when it starts happening to them.
I’ve seen Rambo: First Blood plenty of times. I know exactly what to do. I’ll leave it at that.

When I was a twenty year-old newlywed, I was up late one night watching one of those old UHF channels out of Dallas, when a documentary about the old Soviet Union’s daycare system came on. The Soviet authorities had let these American filmmakers in to document how it worked from the inside. I’ve looked for the documentary on YouTube several times since, but have never been able to find it.
Anyway, and from memory, they had a crib/playpen that was about three feet wide, made in the shape of a half-circle like Jeremy Benton’s Panopticon. In the open space at the center were stationed three “nurses” – one to the left, one to the right, one in the center – and the pen was made so that the children could never be out of physical reach of one or the other of the nurses at any time. They kept them penned up in this thing eight hours a day while their mothers worked at some menial job or other. I remember watching that jaw-dropping documentary and thinking to myself, “that could never happen here,” and laughing about it later when I would tell others what I’d watched with my own eyes. But I was very young and very naive at the time.
Fewer than ten years later, I was at a local H.S. football game with my father and one of my younger sisters (who had two children younger than four). As we were walking to the field from the parking lot, I noticed a new building on campus they had built while I was in Alaska that read above the front entry doors, “Early Childhood Development Center.” I read the sign aloud, then added, “I thought that was in the home.” To which my sister replied, “what do I care, it’s a free babysitter!” The lecture my sister received for that idiotic statement from our father, she has never forgotten. I know, I like to remind her of it from time to time.
I know exactly what you mean about your unwillingness to take the jab. I’ve said many times, all across the interwebz, that me and mine will never take that shot voluntarily. You know what I mean by that, and I will follow your lead and leave it at that.
A few years ago I was in an argument with a woman about our anti-abortion legislation in my state, which she and several others had said they would “never tolerate.” This deteriorated to the point that she said to me that she knows where I live, and that she would come to my house and “cut your nuts out.” LOL. I told her in reply that I had no doubt that she was mentally capable of doing something like that, but also reminded her that it would be a huge mistake on her part if she showed up on my property with those intentions, since bringing a knife to a gunfight is never a good idea.
Twas a good essay, Mr Shackleford. If Americans weren’t the most heavily-armed private citizens in the world, there is no telling what the oligarchs would try. Local sheriff’s departments know better than to attempt door-to-door gun confiscation…a former sheriff in my home county in southeast Mississippi said there was no way he would ever send deputies around to attempt firearms confiscations. He knows what the result would be: the first day, he would have zero deputies remaining. It’s a shame Randy Weaver didn’t have some neighbors who would come to his aid. Rural communities must come together to thwart Uncle Sam’s nefarious schemes.
Thank you for reporting on this.
