From JC

At the risk of offending folks who may think they sympathize with this week’s campus campers and their silly protest tents, hummus s’mores, and schwarma roasts, I would like to offer an alternative working hypothesis. To set the table, allow me to show you just how far we’ve come: you can now rent protestors right on the Internet. Behold “Crowds on Demand:”

It’s not bad work, if you can get it. How else do you expect kids with degrees in feminist themes in filmmaking to pay off their student loans? The team at Crowds on Demand promises all you need is money and a goal, and they’re ready to meet all your astroturf needs. They’ll even provide the ideas:

Crowds on Demand “delivers phenomenal experiences” including “even the most logistically challenging events.” Logistically challenging events? You mean, like CHAZ-style tent cities-on-the-green?

I’m not saying this was procured by Crowds on Demand. Who knows? The point is, if you can now one-click protests on the Internet, just imagine the kinds of resources to which the intelligence agencies and the political parties have access.

My best guess would be businesses like Crowds On Demand were formed by veterans of shady government-adjacent enterprises doing the exact same thing.

And don’t forget our foreign enemies.

………….

What I humbly suggest is that the highly-organized, well-funded campus protests might not actually be a totally organic movement of compassionate students hoping for change. Or at least, the change they are hoping for might not actually be improving the plight of the Gazans.

Instead, the organizers of this national protest movement may be hoping for change closer to home.

To me — and to Chris Rufo — it seems self-evident that the U.S. deep state is running a covert color revolution against us, the U.S. citizens. The most vexing part is that we are paying those nitwits’ salaries, directly or through government grants to the vast, countless constellation of corporate NGO’s and charitable, tax-exempt nonprofits lobbying governments ‘for change’ all over the world.

It needn’t even be the deep state. We are currently poking the eyeballs of world’s largest, most well-armed and well-funded countries. China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran all spring to mind. We have supported similar protests and fomented similar color revolutions in those countries, who are probably at this point feeling like payback is a moral imperative.

The most troubling thing is how difficult it is to tell whether the enemy action arises from our own intelligence agencies or from foreign ones. But either way, spy tactics only work in the dark. The best way to defang or disinfect whatever the spooks are cooking up is by shining a light on them.

In other words, before assuming these well funded, cookie-cutter campus protests are legitimate, consider first whether they might instead be fake, astroturfed, political protests-on-demand. Especially when you consider the proximate election, the stealth World War currently in progress, and the woke occupation of our intelligence services.
