DISINFO: Democratic Party planners use the strategy of "programmed chaos" in their own country

SUMMARY

Strategists of the Democratic Party want to deliver a blow to Donald Trump, diverting the violence, riots, looting, anarchy and chaos that took over the US after the murder of George Floyd by policemen to prevent the president’s reelection. It is paradoxical that the US strategists and planners who promoted coups in 70 countries during the Cold War and later promoted ‘colour revolutions’ in Yugoslavia, Egypt, Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine and many other countries, decided, in their despair, to use the same strategy of ‘programmed chaos’ in their own country.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory claiming that US racial justice protests after the death of George Floyd are actually a ‘colour revolution’. It is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative framing every protest in the world as staged from the outside. The widespread protests against racial injustice and police brutality broke out in the US after the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis on the 25th of May, 2020. The protests followed several high-profile incidents involving African Americans and the police, invoking debates about racism in the US. You can see other examples of this disinformation narrative, such as allegations that the US riots follow the manuals created by Democrats and Obama; that this will end with Nazism, radicalism and separatism as Ukraine’s protests in 2014; that George Soros is funding a far-left organisation aiming to oust Trump; that US unrest is a second civil war; or that the systemic collapse of American society is now obvious.
