Mike Benz has a fantastic understanding of the Deep State, which is a complex organism.

Re-upping this CIA riot guide video I did, not because I think the CIA is any way involved in the Minnesota insurgency, but because in a way the problem now is much worse. This CIA riot guide was made in 1983 — the year NED was created, the year before the US Institute of Peace was created, and a few years before USAID would first begin its full-scale color revolution model work.
Each of these NED/USIP/USAID-trained operatives, operating within the NGO space, are trained in these CIA protest --> escalation --> riot techniques, and they accumulate decades of experience and personal connections implementing them — across union groups, media amplifiers, foundation heads, religious leaders, leaders of aggrieved ethnic minority and gender coalitions, and legions of trainers and organizers and allied NGO institutions.
These people, while they built careers helping NED/USIP/USAID foment protests and riots in countries overseas whenever the CIA-favored side loses an election, they live here, in the United States. They witness up close, have strong opinions about, and in some cases have careers that depend on who wins or loses the election here.
When this enormous collective interlocking network of CIA pass-through trained regime change specialists — operating in the US out of the NGO space, and not formally part of the CIA, where it would be subject to CIA internal, legislative & executive branch oversight — sees an election at home it doesn't like, the natural impulse for these career-trained professional regime change specialists is to look at the array of options they have used in the past when an election didn't go their way in Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, Bangladesh, you name it, when they were working there with NED/USIP/USAID.
Since Trump won in 2016 against the fiery and persistent opposition of the US intelligence community, virtually the entirety of this formally NGO-centered side of CIA regime change work migrated into domestic-facing protest work, linking arms with each other to create a giant inward-pointing national network.
Precisely because this was *not* formally CIA, which is prohibited from operating at home, this giant multi-billion dollar dark arts network of CIA technique-trained, CIA democracy promotion-adjacent, not-technically-CIA private NGO swarm army has been able to mobilize and use these CIA techniques without any government or law enforcement oversight, no way to see their private planning or organizational documents, no way to FOIA them, no way to have the ODNI declassify anything, nothing.
The problem is the NGO-ization of CIA work since the 1980s has created a kind of beast network, that after 40 years of massive growth and evolution, now more or less has a mind of its own, regardless of what any given CIA Director, such as John Ratcliffe today, wants to do about it.
