Is What's Going On In Minneapolis An Organized Color Revolution By Deep State Actors? The Evidence Is Frightening

Barbara Boyd of Promethean Action is making that case in a recent video that has been circulating online, framing the chaos in Minneapolis as a deliberate, coordinated campaign modeled on foreign “color revolution” tactics traditionally used overseas. According to Boyd, the same playbook once deployed in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America is now being turned inward against the United States.

Boyd points directly to figures with deep ties to regime-change efforts abroad, including Dr. Maria Stephan, a longtime advocate of so-called nonviolent resistance strategies. Stephan has previously worked with organizations linked to U.S.-funded democracy promotion efforts, including the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID. Boyd argues those methods, originally sold as tools for undermining authoritarian governments, are now being repurposed to destabilize domestic political leadership.

The video also highlights Rachel Sayre, another activist Boyd says is connected to networks that receive funding from NED-backed institutions. Boyd’s broader claim is that these organizations function less as neutral promoters of democracy and more as pipelines for political influence, shaping protest movements through funding, messaging, and strategic coordination.

Former State Department official Mike Benz appears in the discussion, adding context about how government-adjacent NGOs have historically worked alongside intelligence agencies to influence political outcomes abroad. Benz argues the patterns seen in Minneapolis mirror earlier operations overseas, including rapid mobilization, coordinated media narratives, and the use of civil unrest to apply pressure on elected leaders.

Investigative journalist James O’Keefe is also cited for his past work exposing activist networks and donor pipelines, which Boyd says further supports the idea that these protests are not simply grassroots expressions of anger, but carefully managed political pressure campaigns.

Boyd ultimately calls on conservatives and Trump supporters to take the allegations seriously and respond in an organized way. She argues that ignoring the structure, funding, and strategy behind the unrest only allows these networks to operate unchecked. In her view, defending President Trump and the stability of the constitutional system requires exposing how these movements are built, funded, and directed.
