In every conspiracy, there's always a guy who talks too much.
In the ongoing #SuckersAndLosers #DisinformationCampaign against #realDonaldTrump, that guy turns out to be Michael McFaul.

Last Friday, McFaul tweeted that @realDonaldTrump had "lost" the military and intel community, and was therefore unfit to be President.
Apparently McFaul didn't realize how this sounds to normal Americans who don't want spies and generals choosing our presidents.

McFaul got a smackdown from former Ambassador to Germany @RichardGrenell, who told him to,"Stop subverting the people's vote" and decried the "undermining of our Democracy by your side." https://twitter.com/RichardGrenell/status/1302269512079769600

An outraged McFaul replied, "Byron, you know DAMN well that I was not advocating a coup! You know damn well that I support democracy 100%, at home and abroad." https://twitter.com/McFaul/status/1302349570639368193

McFaul's definition of "democracy" is different than most people's, however.
He is a leading promoter of #ColorRevolutions, a skill he honed while serving as a national security advisor to Obama (2009-2012) and Ambassador to Russia (2012-2014). https://fsi.stanford.edu/people/michael_a_mcfaul

#ColorRevolution is a technique for stealing elections, using mobs of paid protesters to intimidate the opposition into conceding.
#ColorRevolutions are often employed overseas by U.S. and British intelligence services. https://twitter.com/RealRichardPoe/status/1303804493587460099

McFaul vehemently denies that he has ever been involved in a #ColorRevolution.
But he doth protest too much.
See, for instance, this Twitter discussion between McFaul and @dreyfus_michael. https://twitter.com/mcfaul/status/504327640237371394

In fact, Prof. McFaul is one of the most-cited authorities on bloodless coups, which he calls "democratic breakthroughs."
His 2005 paper "Transitions from Postcommunism," outlined 7 factors for a successful color revolution. https://www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/transitions-from-postcommunism/

McFaul's 7th Factor is to create and exploit "divisions among the regime's coercive forces."

By "coercive forces," McFaul means "the state's military, police, and security forces."
McFaul calls them the "guys with guns."
The trick is to divide them, so they will be hesitant and indecisive when the rioting starts, and will agree to stand down.

This is the purpose of the #SuckersAndLosers #DisinformationCampaign.
It is to sow doubt among the "guys with guns."
Last Friday, McFaul prematurely announced that the "guys with guns" had already abandoned Trump.
He deleted the tweet when the blowback started.

Despite his protestations of innocence, McFaul is no friend of democracy.
He has spent his entire career promoting and defending #ColorRevolutions.

McFaul has strong ties with #GeorgeSoros and his Open Society Foundations, as evidenced by the personnel at the Freeman Spogli Institute, which McFaul heads. https://fsi.stanford.edu/people/institute-faculty

McFaul was an early supporter and apologist for #Soros's controversial role in Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution.

McFaul and his fellow "democracy" crusaders have a long way to go before they succeed in neutralizing America's "military, police, and security forces."
But they're making progress. They've plainly gotten to Gen. Mark Milley. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/28/politics/milley-2020-election/index.html
