🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 11: NOT-SO-INDEPENDENT SENATE CAMPAIGNS OF DAN OSBORN (NE) AND BRIAN BENGS (SD) 🚨
Two Senate candidates running as independents have ties to Renew American Democracy, the project ran by ex-USAID workers to restructure d one of them admits on video they've been "coordinating."
According to the polls, "independent" Dan Osborn is in a toss-up race with Ricketts in Nebraska.
Emerson has South Dakota "independent" Brian Bengs within single digits of Mike Rounds.
The strategy is to elect enough independents to deny either party a governing majority—and use their votes as leverage for structural reforms.
Osborn's 2024 field director, Austen Campbell, laid out the plan:
"We have a goal for 2026 to run a slate of independents and deny both political parties the majority in the House of Representatives in hopes of getting an independent speaker."
Bengs said echoed that on a September 2026 Renew to Thrive call:
"We don't need to get 50 or 51 to change things. We just need a handful."
In their words, this handful is to do "arm-twisting" to get the structural reforms they want.
➡️ Paul Zeitz's May 2026 Concept Note: open primaries, ranked-choice voting, and "independent" redistricting.
➡️ RAD's Constitution Emergency Response draft: an Article V convention with amendments on "campaign finance and voting rights restoration, healthcare, education, and economic security, and ecological rights and climate accountability."
The draft calls that the MODERATE strategy.
And the political objective extends beyond reforming elections.
In 2023, Walt Roberts told the man who now runs the Independent National Convention that stopping the MAGA GOP was "job one."
As for ending the two-party duopoly?
"That's very secondary right now."
Put those statements together.
A plan to deny both parties a majority. Candidates running as independents. A small voting bloc positioned to extract concessions. A documented list of proposed constitutional and electoral changes. And a stated priority of stopping the MAGA GOP.
The question for Nebraska and South Dakota voters is whether they know what these candidates' political allies have been planning... and whether Osborn and Bengs share those objectives.

@uneedsoapa@DataRepublican @SKDoubleDub331@iamlisalogan was the only one we’ve had. Been wondering when folks would realize two governors can’t make this plan work. There’s no way they’ll get 34 to agree to convene a convention, and the idea of 38 agreeing to pass an amendment is preposterous. Ultimately, their entire strategy with this idea of declaring the federal government to be invalid is a non sequitur.

In Part 8, she exposed discussions involving the Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy, including a message about consulting federal workers on “blocking” inside government agencies during emergency situations.
Those posts explain the crisis side of the strategy.
The document in this post helps explain the constitutional side.
It contains a ready-made state resolution for opening an Article V convention, while the comments consider an Article VII national convention and a Citizens’ Assembly that could help design the process.
Put together, the picture becomes clearer.
They were discussing when the existing government could be treated as illegitimate, who might hold authority afterward, and what process could be used to pursue a new constitutional structure.

🚨@DataRepublican has been documenting the network discussing a “Fourth Founding,” with a political crisis potentially creating an opening for major structural reform.
I have been reviewing the Democracy Files exposed by @DataRepublican, @SKDoubleDub33, and @iamlisalogan. While tumbled upon this document.
It matters because it shows what one possible legal vehicle looks like.
It is a ready made “Emergency Application” for a state legislature to invoke Article V:
“Be it resolved by the legislature of the State of ______”
If 34 state legislatures submit qualifying applications, Congress must call a convention to propose constitutional amendments. Any amendment would still need approval from 38 states.
The draft proposes changes involving federal power, spending, term limits, checks and balances, and Citizens’ Assemblies.
It also says convention delegates would be elected by popular vote, instructed through state Citizens’ Assemblies, and subject to immediate recall if they departed from their mandate.
No Article V convention has taken place, and the Constitution does not answer many of the procedural questions raised by this proposal.
An attached comment then suggests launching a January 2026 campaign for an Article VII “National Citizens’ and Constitutional Convention.”
That creates an even larger legal question..
Article VII was used to ratify the Constitution written in 1787. It does not provide a modern process for calling another convention or replacing the current Constitution.
This document adds an important piece to what @DataRepublican has been reporting.
The “Fourth Founding” discussion was not limited to just rhetoric about a future crisis. The documents include reusable legislative language for opening the constitutional amendment process, along with comments exploring an “Article VII” route that the Constitution does not actually provide.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 10: THE ROLE OF FOREIGN STATES🚨
(First post deleted for typo)
How is an old government declared illegitimate and a new government declared the true successor?
Months before the actual transition, the following are • Civil society and activists get prepared for big uprisings.
• Media narratives are pre-seeded.
• Foreign officials provide cover.
The last point is what this drop is all about. You saw it last night - as soon as Lula "won" the election, EU officials and Alex Soros immediately swept in with their congratulations. That is a deliberate strategy to grant Lula legitimacy, not an organic congratulations.
The idea is to saturate the people with the idea that "this is the legitimate government, and you will accept it."
In these files, we see the various NGOs strategize on how to reach out to governments in advance and prepare them for what is coming. We also revisit how USAID OTI, the regime change arm of USAID, allegedly re-organized themselves inside the country.
We record one meeting taking place between Horizons Project and Catalonia officials. That we were able to document a meeting at all is unusual, because I'm told that these meetings are generally arranged at the highest levels and kept off the record (think Jake Sullivan, Norm Eisen level).

🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 7: THE SECRET MEGA-ALLIANCE WAITING FOR A RED LINE TO BE CROSSED 🚨
What do you call a mega-alliance that:
• Covers hundreds, if not thousands, of protest organizations
• Covers all the lawfare-related organizations
• when a Constitutional crisis is crossed
• Consults federal workers on how to block emergency efforts
• Runs a situation room for the midterms and beyond
• Is credited to regime change expert and professor Erica Chenoweth
• Is operationalized by National Security Leaders for America, an organization of 1,600 retired officers, spies, and diplomats
• ... and determines the "red lines" for mobilization of the above?
Meet the United Democracy Alliance (UDA).
UDA is the secret alliance behind the messaging we saw this week:
• JB Pritzker's warning that states will "strongly resist"
• Governor Newsom's office declaring a "CODE RED"
• Norm Eisen talking about "war rooms"
• Slotkin predicting a "national security incident"
You will not find any mentions of the United Democracy Alliance (UDA) on the web. It is a mega-alliance of resistance NGOs ready to deploy on a moment's notice, monitoring every action President Trump takes and monitoring every polling place.
We only can put together the pieces by recordings. Some key quotes:
• "if there's a moment where there's a constitutional crisis, like one of the UDA four red lines, if they get crossed… governors then become the kind of lead anchor for political power." (Zeitz, Aug 6)
• "the big, big, big, big, big tent that's being organized in the blocking community so that if there is a red line crossed in terms of a constitutional crisis, like, everybody's already pre-organized." (Reiff, Aug 5)
• "We are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations" (Eric Manton, Zoom chat, Aug 6)
According to @JeffClarkUS , the last point above about federal workers conspiring to block emergency responses may violate serious statutes. More on federal workers involvement in Drop 8.

FIRST ON FOX: A Fox News Digital investigation by senior editor of investigations @AsraNomani has identified 50 militant Antifa cells across France mobilizing agitators to descend on the city of Orléans Saturday to protest the National Rally party congress of conservative Marianne Le Pen.
The Antifa organizations are part of a wider coalition of 287 groups that are backing the national mobilization. The network spans explicit Antifa chapters, communist and socialist groups, labor unions, student organizations, migrant-rights activists, feminist groups and Palestine-solidarity organizations. Organizers have raised money for leaflets, posters and a truck with a sound system for a mass procession.
The mobilization comes one week after France was rocked by nationwide unrest and days after Fox News Digital reported exclusively that an internal State Department assessment warned antifascist groups could participate in a "potentially more confrontational protest" this weekend that could "expose further security shortcomings and deepen political tensions."

Last night on Monica Matthews’ X Space I listened as sharp voices walked through the latest material @DataRepublican has surfaced on those private planning sessions, and the pattern that kept hitting me was how little attention the planners gave to anything beyond the initial move. These are the same circles whose earlier efforts left entire countries without working ministries, fuel, or basic services, and who then relied on outside help to claw back even partial function. Watching them now treat the United States as the next case made the gap obvious: they have mapped the declaration in detail and left the morning after it almost entirely blank. I wrote up what that blank actually contains. (Four-minute read)

I’m still looking into all of these leaks from Data Republican and others, and whether or not it can be determined that their actions are legally treasonous, it is quite clear that in actuality their plan is to foment violent protest against “authoritarianism” in order to illicit a law enforcement response to protect communities and citizens from violence, and then use that action as evidence of authoritarianism and to further fuel protests with the express intent of delegitimizing the government so that they can further their revolutionary aims.
Why I don’t simply roll my eyes and treat this as commie activists just cosplaying to make themselves sound important… people who have worked at USAID and networks who have field color revolutions abroad are actively involved with this at the organizational level.
This is a serious ploy by people who have professional experience advancing color revolutions.
Americans should get spun up on what is going on here. It’s serious and it should be taken seriously and not just dismissed as some conspiratorial thing that exists on X.
When the left does this, it will be fore the purposes of creating the predicate for impeachments and an all hands radical movement to cause violent protest and then spin it as righteous uprisings against authoritarianism.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 5: Washington state's Secretary of State weighs in 🚨
The below clip shows Danielle Reiff of DRG pitching her vision to an audience including Washington state's Secretary of State, Steve Hobbs.
She explains the red-line y a vision of creating a "cross-partisan" government in the wake of an illegitimate federal government.
Her three "democratic emergency" scenarios should be familiar by now:
· Election meltdown - which includes a widespread public loss of trust in election results
· Insurrection Act deployed against protesters
· An attempt to delay seating of legitimately elected officials post-election
If the federal government becomes illegitimate in her view because of the above, then she proposes a cross-partisan system of transitional governance. She names a cross-partisan board of governors, as well President Obama and President Bush as potential transitional leaders.
WA SoS Hobbs replies to Reiff that he has had the exact same conversation with German and Japanese officials regarding how to deal with AfD and right-wing nationalist parties. Now, to be fair, he does not want to commit because, in his words, "we're winning." But he doesn't disagree either.
Note also that here and in other recordings, "election meltdown" does not mean some sort of flashy media crisis. It means, simply, a large segment of the population doesn't believe the election results are legitimate.

🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 4: YES, MANY ARE AWARE OF THE GOALS 🚨
This one is a thread because there are multiple materials.
On January 15, 2026, Renew American Democracy (RAD), the strategy built around the Democracy Renewal Group's (DRG) ex-USAID d planning exercises for "emergency scenarios" and how it'd affect their "strategic objectives."
RAD's explicit goal is in catalyzing those so-called "emergency scenarios" to manifest "structural reform" - the rewriting of American governance which the previous drops have covered.
RAD/DRG hold the unique role within the wider blocking / protest alliance of defining what the new government looks like, presumably because they are made of ex-USAID officers who have specialized in installing new governments. As @MikeBenzCyber last night said on his stream, these DRG members come from the CIA coup parts of USAID.
It's been suggested that DRG is just a fringe group within the much larger blocking/protest ecosystem. This morning's interim video mentioning Mike Smith disproved that. And PART 4 disproves that further - the wider network is well aware of DRG and that its goal is to secure a new government.
They will dress it in the language that it's Trump who will provoke it, and they're only preventing a true Constitutional crisis. In reality, there's a million ways to interpret what a "red line" is, and many ways to get Trump to cross it. Already, articles everywhere are telegraphing that Trump *will* cross it in the form of the Insurrection Act or martial law, softening us up for the coup ahead.
The materials I'm showing you are from a RAD/DRG-ran planning exercise in January 2026. Groups represented by participants include:
· National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A)
· Freedom Trainers / Beautiful Trouble
· Team Democracy
· Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy
· Civil Service Strong
· Project 2029
· Braver Angels
· Indivisible
· Better Together America
· Center for Collaborative Democracy
· Democracy Accelerator
· Paths to Understanding
· Co-Intelligence Institute
· Cohesion Strategy
· Community-Vision Solutions
One of the working groups concerned "National Deliberations" - which lays the groundwork for structural reforms post-crisis. So every single participant in this forum was well aware the end point is rewriting our governance.
Even more interesting, Tanya Alfredson of @BraverAngels participated in this particular working group - which should give pause to anyone who believes Braver Angels simply wants better dialogue.
As you watch the videos, watch out for the code language they use to hint towards the ultimate end goal.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 3: AMERICA GETS THE FOREIGN-INTERVENTION TREATMENT 🚨
At what point does this become foreign interference of our elections?
To back up: the main group that Danielle Reiff and the other ex-USAID workers belongs to, Renew To Thrive (R2T) / Renew ) have an explicit strategy document. That strategy outlines "preparing for the worst" which includes the Insurrection Act or "election meltdown," and their goal is to get "structural reform" in place by that - a polite way of saying our Constitutional Republic has to be overhauled.
In July 2026, R2T/RAD invited foreign state actors to share experience with the American community, for the express purpose of operationalizing their expertise right here in the United States. All actors had experience in international community assisted transitions (I'll let you figure out what that is a code word for).
The disturbing part, though, is that all of the foreign actors' recommendations were implemented right here in America.
You may have seen news headlines like:
- Restore trust in processes
- Increased election security, increased legal presence at polls
- Democratic officials hold tabletop exercises
- Judges prepare for post-election challenges
To be clear, this video doesn't prove that this meeting specifically caused this cascade of escalations. But what it shows is that the democracy-promotion playbook the U.S. spent decades exporting, with situation rooms, observers at every polling place, prebunking and litigation paired with street mobilization, is now being run on America's own election. The same people are running it, and they're taking advice from the foreign actors the U.S. once backed.
Now when you look at officials talking about independent watchdogs or tabletop exercises... know that it's because they are now treating the United States midterms exactly the same as they'd treat elections in a third world country.
And I think more than a small part of them are hoping that it does become a self-fulfilling prophecy as it has in so many of those countries. (For context, my book Unelected documents that so-called "election meltdowns" are precursors to transitions of power via color revolution.)
At what point does this become foreign interference of our elections?
To back up: the main group that Danielle Reiff and the other ex-USAID workers belongs to, Renew To Thrive (R2T) / Renew ) have an explicit strategy document. That strategy outlines "preparing for the worst" which includes the Insurrection Act or "election meltdown," and their goal is to get "structural reform" in place by that - a polite way of saying our Constitutional Republic has to be overhauled.
