THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 3: AMERICA GETS THE FOREIGN-INTERVENTION TREATMENT 🚨

At what point does this become foreign interference of our elections?

To back up: the main group that Danielle Reiff and the other ex-USAID workers belongs to, Renew To Thrive (R2T) / Renew American Democracy (RAD) have an explicit strategy document. That strategy outlines “preparing for the worst” which includes the Insurrection Act or “election meltdown,” and their goal is to get “structural reform” in place by that – a polite way of saying our Constitutional Republic has to be overhauled.

In July 2026, R2T/RAD invited foreign state actors to share experience with the American community, for the express purpose of operationalizing their expertise right here in the United States. All actors had experience in international community-assisted transitions (I’ll let you figure out what that is a code word for).

The disturbing part, though, is that all of the foreign actors’ recommendations were implemented right here in America.

You may have seen news headlines like:

– Restore trust in processes
– Increased election security, increased legal presence at polls
– Democratic officials hold tabletop exercises
– Judges prepare for post-election challenges

To be clear, this video doesn’t prove that this meeting specifically caused this cascade of escalations. But what it shows is that the democracy-promotion playbook the U.S. spent decades exporting, with situation rooms, observers at every polling place, prebunking and litigation paired with street mobilization, is now being run on America’s own election. The same people are running it, and they’re taking advice from the foreign actors the U.S. once backed.

Now when you look at officials talking about independent watchdogs or tabletop exercises… know that it’s because they are now treating the United States midterms exactly the same as they’d treat elections in a third world country.

And I think more than a small part of them are hoping that it does become a self-fulfilling prophecy as it has in so many of those countries. (For context, my book Unelected documents that so-called “election meltdowns” are precursors to transitions of power via color revolution.)

THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 4: YES, MANY ARE AWARE OF THE GOALS 🚨

This one is a thread because there are multiple materials.

On January 15, 2026, Renew American Democracy (RAD), the strategy built around the Democracy Renewal Group’s (DRG) ex-USAID democracy officers, held planning exercises for “emergency scenarios” and how it’d affect their “strategic objectives.”

RAD’s explicit goal is in catalyzing those so-called “emergency scenarios” to manifest “structural reform” – the rewriting of American governance which the previous drops have covered.

RAD/DRG hold the unique role within the wider blocking / protest alliance of defining what the new government looks like, presumably because they are made of ex-USAID officers who have specialized in installing new governments. As @MikeBenzCyber
last night said on his stream, these DRG members come from the CIA coup parts of USAID.

It’s been suggested that DRG is just a fringe group within the much larger blocking/protest ecosystem. This morning’s interim video mentioning Mike Smith disproved that. And PART 4 disproves that further – the wider network is well aware of DRG and that its goal is to secure a new government.

They will dress it in the language that it’s Trump who will provoke it, and they’re only preventing a true Constitutional crisis. In reality, there’s a million ways to interpret what a “red line” is, and many ways to get Trump to cross it. Already, articles everywhere are telegraphing that Trump *will* cross it in the form of the Insurrection Act or martial law, softening us up for the coup ahead.

The materials I’m showing you are from a RAD/DRG-ran planning exercise in January 2026. Groups represented by participants include:

· National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A)
· Freedom Trainers / Beautiful Trouble
· Team Democracy
· Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy
· Civil Service Strong
· Project 2029
· Braver Angels
· Indivisible
· Better Together America
· Center for Collaborative Democracy
· Democracy Accelerator
· Paths to Understanding
· Co-Intelligence Institute
· Cohesion Strategy
· Community-Vision Solutions

One of the working groups concerned “National Deliberations” – which lays the groundwork for structural reforms post-crisis. So every single participant in this forum was well aware the end point is rewriting our governance.

Even more interesting, Tanya Alfredson of @BraverAngels participated in this particular working group – which should give pause to anyone who believes Braver Angels simply wants better dialogue.

As you watch the videos, watch out for the code language they use to hint towards the ultimate end goal.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
