The phrase “Color Revolutions” has become part of our parlance today. The phrase has been around at least since the mid-80’s when Ferdinand Marcos was run out of the Philippines in what became known as the “Yellow Revolution.” Since then we’ve had Orange Revolution in Ukraine, Blue Revolution in Kuwait, Rose Revolution in Georgia and Velvet Revolution in the former Czechoslovakia, and many others. What these Revolutions all have in common is that they are AstroTurf Revolutions. This means that the Revolutions are not grass-roots (organic) but are being manipulated upon countries from outside interests with deep pockets. A Revolution can be foisted upon a people by a supreme organizing effort wherein as low as 1-2% of the population is activated in order to make it appear that the whole country is dissatisfied and so in unrest.
Some might insist that most Revolutions take on this kind of AstroTurf characterization. Certainly earlier Revolutions like the French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution as well as the Chinese Revolutions were not grass roots but were the result of a well organized and well financed outside manipulative effort. It is little known, for example, that the Bolshevik Revolution was largely financed by wealthy Wall Street Western Jewish interests. (See Anthony Sutton’s “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution”) Likewise the French Revolution has long been suspected to have been financed and manipulated by the wealth of the Duc d’ Orleans.
Another characterization of color Revolutions is that they typically move the country in which they are activated, in a tyrannical direction. The result of such Color Revolutions is, generally speaking, not more freedom for the general population.
With the repetitive success of these Astroturf Color Revolutions sociological experts have begun to recognize a pattern in how these Revolutions progress. Below is a handy dandy answer sheet on how to conduct your own Color Revolution.
1.) A regime that is semi-autocratic must first exist or the party in power must be perceived as at least semi-autocratic.
There must exist oppression or at least the perception of oppression or else the Color Revolution can’t get rolling. In the USA this perception of oppression is perceived as racial. Minorities in America have been convinced by the Cultural Marxists that they have been victimized by White Christians and so are oppressed peoples. As such organization like “Black Lives Matter” rise. Indeed, our Color Revolution occurring here in the States might well be referenced as the Black Revolution.
2.) The head of the regime (President / Prime Minister) must be seen as unpopular.
The media is forever telling us how unpopular Trump is, and this despite that Trump’s popularity ratings are often higher than where Obama’s or Bush’s were at a similar point in their Presidencies.
3.) There must be united and organized opposition. This can be typically done by activists and various front groups unifying in opposition.
Currently in the US leftist minority organizations, as well as Marxist organizations are all connecting to push the Black Lives Matter agenda. This organized opposition has deep pockets as Silicon Valley and Corporate America are writing checks hand over fist for Black Lives Matter.
4.) Effective system to allow for early voting fraud has taken place.
Obviously, the mail in voting system now in place in many States exists for the purpose of creating fraud and confusion. In point of fact it is almost certainly guaranteed already that we will never know for a certainty who will have won the 2020 Presidential election in these US.
5.) Compliant media to alert citizens of putative voter fraud
CNN, MSNBC?
In point of fact there is going to be so much dust in the air, and blackouts of media outlets that report favorably on any Trump vote count following November 03 that it will be hard for anybody to know anything about what is really going on with election tallies.
6.) Political opposition able to mobilize tens of thousands taking to the streets
What has been a squall up to this point in America’s major cities will turn into a raging tempest following 03 November. Keep in mind that these riots are happening because that is exactly what the political powers that be desire.
7.) Divided loyalties in the police and military around country
The Color Revolution can’t succeed without some official muscle in its corner. As such there is a need for the current ongoing Color Revolution to have a large portion of the official enforcement mechanisms in this country supporting them. This is why you’ve heard Joe Biden talk several times now about how Trump is going to be frog marched from the oval office by the US Military. Alzheimer Joe is signalling the US Military on what will need to be done to complete this Color Revolution.
Nothing that you are seeing is real in our cities right now in the sense that this rioting is organic. It is paid for just as it was paid for in Paris in 1789 and just as it was paid for in Moscow in 1918.
Those creating chaos here in the US are a insignificant and criminal percentage of the population. That doesn’t mean they can’t be successful.

A Brief Paean Unto White Privilege
I am thankful to God for growing up with white privilege in the macro culture. I pray that my grandchildren may yet know that white privilege though I’m doubting they will in the macro culture.
White privilege meant that I was able to deliver papers @ 6am in the morning from about 12 years old to 16. I would get up when it was dark out and bicycle into town and then deliver the local afternoon paper again after school. White privilege meant that my parents didn’t have to worry about me being on the city streets of the small city I grew up in by myself at the wee early hours of the mornings slinging newspapers. White privilege meant that I could wander the neighborhood and play around the lake shore of each neighbors house without my folks having to worry if I would be ok. White privilege meant I could forget my ball mitt at the ball park and come back 6 hours later and find it there. White privilege meant that I didn’t have to chain my bike to some tree in order to make sure it wasn’t stolen. White privilege meant that when the little old lady on the paper route offered some apple spice cake I didn’t have to worry that she might have laced it with heroin. White privilege meant that same little old lady would routinely lecture me that “honesty was the best policy.” White privilege meant I learned the Queen’s English in School and not Ebonics. White privilege meant that my friends didn’t rape my sister when they came over to visit. White privilege meant playing pickup ball games that didn’t end with fisticuffs because someone cheated. White privilege meant remembering Doctor house visits when I was ill. White privilege was businesses closed down on Sundays so God’s day would be honored as a “day of rest.” White privilege was addressing one’s elders as “Yes Sir,” and “No Maam.”
White privilege for my family meant my grandparents working from dusk to dawn milking cows and farming, and watching my Mother work herself to the bone to try and keep the all the plates spinning. White privilege, thus meant learning what I would later identify as a Protestant work ethic. White privilege meant learning that there is no such thing as a free lunch and a man deserves only what he works for and earns.
As I look back now knowing far more now then I did then I realize that even then White privilege was being chipped away. School teachers were already in the 70’s advancing the agenda of the New World Order which hates white privilege. I didn’t see it then. I look back and see it now. Already in the 70’s whites were involved in suicidal altruism in their dealings with criminal minorities. There should’ve been more Mayor Daley’s and and fewer Journalist lying about what really happened in Chicago in 1968. There should have been more exposure of the chicanery of Martin Luther King Jr. with his communist roots, his rampant plagiarism, and his gutter character with women. The whole civil rights movement was a Marxist attack on white privilege and the new social order birthed with the success of the civil rights movement has been one which all people — black and white — have suffered grievous injury. The Hart-Celler immigration act was a canon broadside fired and hitting white privilege.
The ironic thing is that at the very point in time when white privilege has been eliminated is the point in time where people are howling about its existence.
A final thing about this idea of white privilege… White privilege only existed because White people were so infused with the remaining fumes of Christianity. White privilege really is, in point of fact, Christian privilege. The complaints about White privilege today are really just a masquerade for hatred of the bare remnants of Christianity which remain in this country. What those who are whining about White privilege really want is license to create a social order where wickedness isn’t checked.
Yes I thank God for the white privilege I grew up with.
Same-Sex Attracted but Celibate
“Allberry’s use of the term ‘same-sex attraction’ is concerning because of the impression it gives that sodomite feelings are in some way to be excused.”
Enoch Burke
Hedonism & Homosexuality — p. 79
I can understand why Paul asked the Galatians… “Who has bewitched you.” In that context St. Paul was dumbfounded that anybody could have returned to the Judaizing doctrine of Justification by works. I would like to say to the modern American church … “Who has bewitched you?” How could anybody be satisfied with the idea that sodomites impulses are just fine as long as they are not acted upon? Queer but celibate is an acceptable category? “American Christians… who has bewitched you?”
Sam Allberry in one of his “I’m same-sex attracted but I am celibate” diatribes faults the Church for too often thinking it needs to challenge a sodomite coupling when they attend church over their lifestyle playing the “but you don’t do that when an unmarried couple who live together show up in Church” card. Allberry is suggesting if we don’t challenge one we shouldn’t challenge the other about their immoral lifestyles.
This willingness to believe this shows that we are bewitched. Would you countenance someone saying, “I am Holstein-cow attracted?” If someone showed up to attend church with their mare horse and confessed that they were sexually attracted to horses would you say to yourself…
“Well, as I wouldn’t question a visiting man and woman about their living together as unmarried when they showed up as visitors to church therefore I shouldn’t question the Man and mare horse that just showed up for Church out of a matter of civility, good manners, and Christian charity. After all, a man and woman living together unmarried and having sex out of wedlock is no more sinful then a man and a mare horse living together unmarried and having sex out of wedlock?”
The fact that we have made peace with sodomy in the Church is seen in that we can treat same-sex attracted but celibate sodomites as if they are not mentally unhinged. We wouldn’t treat someone who confessed to us that they were dead people attracted but celibate as not unhinged. Why do we accept the idea that someone who is same-sex attracted but celibate as not mentally unhinged?
From the Mailbag; Churches Which Don’t Emphasize Doctrine
Dear Pastor,
“Good friends of ours attend a Reformed church near Grand Rapids. John shared with me that doctrine isn’t emphasized, just love for Jesus and others. Isn’t that wonderful?”
Kerry Pauls
Three Rivers, Michigan
Dear Kerry,
Thanks for writing.
Let’s consider this for just a moment.
First we have the problem that apart from doctrine being taught how is it possible to know what love is or looks like? If I don’t have doctrine being taught there is no stable definition of love and each man defines “love” as is right in his own eyes. Apart doctrine how could I determine whether any action is loving or unloving? Bottom line is, one can’t not know what love is apart from doctrine being emphasized.
Second, we have the problem that apart from doctrine being taught how is it possible to know whether the “love for Jesus” is the love for the real Jesus or some impostor Jesus? Without doctrine how do I know if I have the right Jesus or one made up of my own fancy? It is only doctrine that tells me who Jesus is and whether he is worth my love.
Third, as the real Jesus Himself said, “If you love me keep my commandments,” then it is not possible to love the real Jesus without the doctrine that limns out the meaning of His commandments. In other words if you don’t emphasize doctrine then it is not possible to love Jesus because the only way to love Jesus is to understand His commandments and you can’t understand His commandments without emphasizing them.
Fourth, this is not possibly true. I presume that something is said in the pulpit week in and week out. Whatever is said from the pulpit even if it is only “we don’t teach doctrine here but just loving Jesus and others,” then that is the church’s doctrine. (Pathetic as it would be.)
Fifth, this attitude tells me that this Church which does not emphasize doctrine does not “just love Jesus.” Paul tells Timothy explicitly in I Timothy 4,
“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.”
“Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.”
You see here the importance that the Holy Spirit puts on doctrine?
But you know what … I’m willing to bet that what your friend said of his church is true of a overwhelmingly high percentage of “conservative” “Reformed” “churches” in America. I’m willing to stipulate that most Pastors in most “conservative,” “Reformed” “churches” in America don’t teach doctrine and ironically enough it’s probably a good thing they don’t since if they did they would bugger it up so badly that it would be even more damaging to the congregations souls then what is being said now from pulpits. Your better off with a Pastor that doesn’t emphasize doctrine then you would be with a R2K pastor who did emphasize doctrine.
I’ve been around. I’ve sat in on ordination exams. I’ve spoken with ordained conservative ministers frequently. I’ve been in the ministry over 30 years now. And in all that time I personally know (I’ve met them and talked to them and have a relationship with them) only one other Reformed pastor who I would want emphasizing doctrine. I’m sure there are more out there but I’ve not got to know them beyond just an acquaintance status.
Irrationality and R2K
Colossians 1:13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves…
So, Christians believe that with Regeneration the Christ believer has been placed in the New Creation (the age to come). That New Creation is, of course, distinct from this present evil age. This is so much so that the Believer and the unbeliever reside in two different Kingdom with two different Lord’s and two different standards as to what constitutes right and wrong. There is, as such, an inevitable and inescapable anti-thesis. Yet, despite all this commonly accepted Reformed thinking, R2K wants to suggest that those who live in the age to come and those who live in this present wicked age as two contrasting and competing Kingdoms still share a common source of truth and a common ethic as they each, as belonging to two different Lords, interact in what R2K calls the “common realm,” and abide what they call “natural law” a law that is neutral and so can rule both believers and unbelievers in the R2K’s common realm.
Note here also that while R2K insists on two Kingdoms they identify the two Kingdoms as the common realm and the grace realm. But what of the two Kingdoms as identified in Scripture? In Scripture we see the Kingdom of God and the Dominion of Darkness. Has R2K wrongly identified the two Kingdoms in their innovative theology? I think so.
This means that for R2K the one who resides in the new creation vis-a-vis the unregenerate who reside in the un-renewed creation suffer no antithesis in the standard by which their lives are governed in the R2K “common realm.”
How can this be?
