David Rutherford Show: Anatomy of a Color Revolution - How They Actually Work | Libertarian Overwatch

Have you ever heard of a color revolution? I have — I used to watch them go off around my old area of operations. This week I'm joined by Patrick Pillow of Libertarian Overwatch, who's built the most documented public anatomy of these US-funded "organic uprisings" I've seen — 25 years of them, from Serbia 2000 forward, with the grant filings attached.

What you'll hear:

• David breaks down how a country gets picked for regime change — and who actually signs off

• Patrick walks through the NGO machine: USAID, NED, Open Society, Freedom House, and the midnight printing press in Kyrgyzstan

• Why pipelines, air bases, and resources keep showing up behind "democracy movements"

• David's Blackwater year in Azerbaijan next to the BTC pipeline

• Venezuela as the test case — and why Cuba looks like the next target

• The uncomfortable question: is a version of this playbook running in America?

Patrick Pillow is an independent researcher whose color-revolution series runs on the Libertarian Overwatch Substack and the Libertarian Institute. He works from primary documents — grant filings, contemporaneous reporting, and archived sources.
