- Dispatch CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), MI6 (Military Intelligence, Section 6) and other intelligence officers as students, tourists, volunteers, businessmen, reporters to the target country.
- Set up non-governmental organizations (NGO) under the guise of humanitarianism to fight for “democracy” and “human rights” in order to attract advocates of freedom and ideals.
- Attract Local Traitors, especially academics, politicians, reporters, soldiers, etc. through bribery or threaten those who have some stain in their life.
- If the target country has labour unions, bribe them.
- Pick a catchy theme or colour for the revolution. Examples include Prague Spring (1968), Velvet Revolution (Eastern Europe 1989), Rose Revolution (Georgia 2003), Cedar Revolution (Lebanon 2005), Orange Revolution (Ukraine), Green Revolution (Iran), Jasmine Revolution, Arab Spring and even Hong Kong’s Umbrella Revolution.
- Start protests for whatever reason to kick off the revolution. It could be human rights, democracy, government corruption or electoral fraud. Evidence isn’t necessary; an excuse will do.
- Write protest signs and banners in English to let Americans see and get American politicians and civilians involved.
- Let those corrupted politicians, intellectuals and union leaders join the protests and call upon all people with grievances to join.
- The US and Europe mainstream media help continuously emphasize that the revolution is caused by injustice thereby gaining the support of the majority.
- When the whole world is watching stage a false-flag action. The target government will soon be destabilized and lose support among its people.
- Add in violent agent provocateurs to provoke the police to use force. This will cause the target government to lose the support of other countries and become “delegitimized” by the international community.
- Send politicians to the US, EU, UN to petition so that the target government will face the threat of economic sanctions, no-fly zones and even air strikes and an armed rebel uprising.
If the above 12 steps do not work the US will then find an excuse to intervene militarily and overthrow the target government by force. In fact, these 12 steps have proven to be very effective. In 2007 Wesley Kanne Clark, a retired US Army four-star general and former NATO supreme allied commander mentioned in a speech that shortly after the 911 incident in 2001 the Department of Defence issued a directive about attacking and overthrowing seven countries including Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Somali, Sudan, Iran within five years.
Although the plan wasn’t completed in five years after more than a dozen year the US applied these 12 steps in the Arab Spring and war against terrorism for more than a decade. Among these seven countries, some have been overthrown, some mired in a civil war and some on the edge of collapse. Therefore, it is not by spontaneous civil movements that countries are overthrown. On the contrary, the revolts are carefully planned and plotted. In fact, overthrowing a country by means of civil unrest is far cheaper than sending troops to attack and destroy it. That’s why the US kept applying these 12 steps against countries it deems as enemies.
