They do not like boiling a color revolution down to a sequence for a few reasons among which:
1) The people participating tend to be siloed (civic engagement isn’t the same as vote tabulation)
2) They depend on the veneer that color revolutions are totally organic
But this is the 7-step sequence which I reverse-engineered.
Here is the truth, lifted from my manuscript.

An important concept to understand is that they don’t consciously sit down and say “hey let’s start a color revolution.”
In fact, they hate talking about color revolutions because it removes moral agency from the people.
Instead, you have multiple NGOs rain down at every…

@Grok What were the different color revolutions in Eastern Europe? What years did they occur? Who funded them?
Major color revolutions in Eastern Europe/post-Soviet states include:
– Bulldozer Revolution (Serbia, 2000)
– Rose Revolution (Georgia, 2003)
– Orange Revolution (Ukraine, 2004)
– Tulip Revolution (Kyrgyzstan, 2005)
Funding often linked to Western orgs like USAID, NED, and Soros’ Open Society Foundations. Views differ: some see organic uprisings with aid, others as externally driven interventions. Sources: Wikipedia, E-IR, Global Times.

@Grok Were there also minor color revolutions? What year and who funded them?
Other lesser-known or attempted color revolutions include:
– Jeans Revolution (Belarus, 2006): Failed protests against election fraud.
– Grape Revolution (Moldova, 2009): Anti-communist unrest.
– Colorful Revolution (North Macedonia, 2016): Protests against government corruption.
– Velvet Revolution (Armenia, 2018): Ousted prime minister.
– 2020 Belarus protests: Challenged Lukashenko’s re-election.
Funding views vary: Western sources see organic movements with NGO support (e.g., NED, USAID, Open Society); critics (Russia, China) claim US-orchestrated interference. Sources: Wikipedia, E-IR, Global Times.

They flood every fragment of civic society with NGOs which is why you have those weird USAID grants. Think of it as like a fractal ecosystem. It’s meant to capture every demographic except white evangelicals.

Here is the idea of the modern color revolution from the man who sequenced it, refined it, and wrote the manual for it, in Burma, in 1993. Meet Gene Sharp.https://t.co/s5jdS19ZVf

@grok Refine the following to clarify: “Color Revolution” – uses the Rule of Law as a weapon against a society with Propaganda ACCEPTED as Legitimate, Unbiased Journalism. Judicial systems employ Anarcho-Tyranny to assist Bureaucrats, “Credentialed Elites” and “Experts.” Feudal.
