So in the third hour of the program yesterday, I began detailing the research and the audio that has been published by a Twitter user named Data Republican. Smaller Republican. That's in her name. And she uses like AI tools. She uses FOIA requests and she uses programming skills. She was like, she was a data analyst programmer type of a person. And, And I mentioned this yesterday. She kind of really made a name for herself at the beginning of the Trump second term with a lot of the Doge stuff when they started dumping, when the government started dumping a lot of the files and stuff. And she was going through and running these things through computer programs and identifying all these organizations, connecting all of these dots. She's been doing this for several years prior to even Trump coming into office. but that's really where a lot of people started following her, uh, her work. And starting on Monday, she began posting chunks of, excuse me, of, uh, of research. She's calling them. Oh, hang on. She's calling them the democracy files. Okay. It, If it sounds familiar, that was also the name of the Twitter file or the theme of the Twitter files. But I feel like it's applicable here because it is on Twitter. So she started posting this stuff. And I will say this. I am not a conspiracy theory kind of a guy. People call in with conspiracy theories. I usually ask one or two basic questions, just logical questions. And the conspiracy theory crumbles. They can't really defend it or support it. And that's generally how this stuff goes. So I am not a conspiracy theory guy. That being said, I do not believe that conspiracies don't exist. They, of course, exist. But the grander the conspiracy, the bigger the conspiracy, the more people that you have involved in any conspiracy... the less likely it is to work because you have just more points of entry basically from the outside to figure out something is amiss. And that being said, this is not a conspiracy theory. And the reason I am confident in saying that is because I can watch a Zoom call OK, and generally speaking, if I can watch a Zoom call where the conspirators lay out the conspiracy, then that is generally what we like to call proof of the conspiracy. Now, that's not to say that the conspiracy will work. It's not to say the conspiracy is a good idea or it's a good conspiracy at all. Right. It could be a terrible idea, much like crime. OK, so. I've told the story before in one of the closing arguments at the Ray Carruth murder trial, I believe it was, where the prosecutor said to the jury, like, we're not arguing that this was a good murder for hire plan. It was a terrible plan. But that was not our plan. That was Ray Carruth's plan, right? He came up with this plan. So please don't penalize us because his plan was trash, right? Now, that being said, I'm not so sure that this plan that has been the focus of the Democracy Files. I'm not so sure that this plan is a bad plan, like from an operational standpoint. It sure does seem like the people know what they're doing. And the people know what they're doing, in my opinion, because they've done it. This is actually what they are trained and have been trained to do. So let me first start with Doug Ross. And he writes a Substack newsletter called Director Blue. He says, it started with a recording, a Zoom call on March 25th, 2026, a forum called the Democratic Constitution Forum. Now, lest you start thinking that, oh, Democrats talking about the Constitution? Yeah, okay. No, they're talking about the Constitution in so much as how they can get around the Constitution and undermine it. That's the key here. Because what the conspiracy lays out is a pathway to destroy the U.S. Constitution and to do it through a quote-unquote illegitimacy crisis. That's the plan. DSA is involved in this. And so that's their end state. So when remember over the summer and we were playing audio clips and reading their comments and watching their zoom calls where they were talking about abolishing the second amendment, abolishing the electoral college, abolishing the U S Senate, right? Doing all of these things. And we were like, well, that would require constitutional amendments that they're not going to be able to do that. Aha. Unless of course you can create a basically a constitutional crisis and reorder the entire system of government, which is apparently what the goal is in this conspiracy. And it involves people, like I said, who have led and been involved in color revolutions in other countries. people that used to work for USAID, who were very angry that they got let go by the Trump administration. And they literally told us this. While they were walking out with their box from their desk, with all their belongings and stuff, and they walked out, they literally said this. So this is not a surprise. So this Zoom call, the Democratic Constitution Forum, the host, John Mulkins, And he is on the Democratic Constitution Forum. And they recorded this Zoom call. And it's now been released by Data Republican. And you can hear someone on the call saying, so I think this is a plan. Data Republican published it in the Democracy Files, part one. The leads came from a couple of other accounts, IamLisaLogan and SKDoubleDub33. What they found appears to be nothing less than an anti-fossile plan for a revolution in the United States. The call was hosted by John Mulkens. On it, Danielle Rafe of the Democracy Renewal Group, that's the name of the group, the D, there are so many different groups, but like they all have democracy in their name. Democracy Renewal Group, and she is a former USAID hand, talks about a coming, quote, crisis of legitimacy. This is why I keep hammering this term. This is the phrase they're using, and this is what we all need to be on the lookout for. When you hear somebody start using this language about illegitimacy or a legitimacy crisis, when you start hearing these terms, recognize that is the operation. OK. Luke Pickrell. Oh, she was the one, by the way, who said, I think this is a plan. Luke Pickrell, a DSA member in the Marxist Unity Group caucus. He's on the line, too. Data Republicans key point comes from her book called Unelected. And it is this. I mentioned this yesterday. It is shared epistemology. Nobody has to sign anything. The, you know, the, the, the boomer granny out there at the no Kings March with her four friends on the, on the corner, right? She, she thinks all of that's real and she's just doing her part for democracy, right? The governor thinks he's just being a governor. In other words, everybody holds a single piece of the puzzle. And the people on calls like this one, this Zoom call, only they know the full picture of the puzzle. Everybody plays their own little role. They are, in large part, unaware of the larger operation. That's the point. The holidays will be here before you know it, and so now is the time to create precious and priceless family heirlooms that will last for generations.

He says, according to internal documents, signal group chats formed within days of Donald Trump's 2024 victory. Ex-USAID staff moved off of government systems before January 20th, then linked with NGOs and foreign partners. Danielle Reif of the Democracy Renewal Group and Roe Tucci, ex-director of a USAID arm, built an organization called Democracy A.I.D. That group ran workshops on non-cooperation. They passed around the old CIA manual called Simple Sabotage, and they studied the Danish underground. The manual's advice? Dull the tools and slow the work. Sound familiar? Marsha Mund, formerly of USAID and the U.S. Institute of Peace, explains that the Democracy Assessment Tool, or the DAT, decided where to invest against what they called backsliding abroad. By the way, you've seen, we've covered this also, all of the victories of non-leftists in Central and South America. And people have wondered, huh, did this have anything to do with the lack of USAID intervention in those countries? Is that the backsliding tool? That they were so worried about. She says it was never allowed. In the US. Because of quote. This big dividing line. Between foreign assistance. And domestic work. Yeah. You're not allowed to run a coup. In America. Like that's the idea there. Lady. She then lost her job. And now she uses. The. Her skill set for quote, whatever I want, including to measure the no Kings rallies. I mentioned Erica Chenoweth yesterday and her three and a half percent rule. She wrote about it in a book called why civil resistance works. This is the idea that all you need is three and a half percent of the population to to project the image of instability and an uprising, and if you can get 3.5%, then you can overthrow systems. That's what they're working on. That's who they are quoting. That's who they are working with. November 9th, 2025, so almost a year ago, Data Republican was posting about groups like 50501, as well as Indivisible, and their links to George Soros, saying at the time, Protesters don't see the ordered police stand-downs, the prearranged. Legal help, or the foundation-funded bail bonds. And then there's the lawfare. See, what I'm outlining here, what Doug Ross is outlining, all of these are different organizations and different efforts. It's a movement of movements is what these people call themselves. So you have the individual movements that are then aligned under a larger movement, which is anti-American. Then there's the lawfare. On October 18th, Data Republican wrote they're working with Mark Elias. Mark Elias. Bag man for the Hillary Clinton campaign, pusher of the collusion hoax, litigator against North Carolina on voter ID laws, redistricting stuff. The guy is everywhere where there is just an attack on the republic, attack on election integrity. This guy is at the heart of it. He also, his firm, wrote the letter telling a news organization to shut up and stop asking questions about Roy Cooper's health. wrote a cease and desist threat. So that's who they've been working with. Norm Eisen co-wrote Brookings Institute's Democracy Playbook. Senator Alyssa Slotkin, more on her in the next hour, organized the infamous Seditious Six video. You see all of these little pieces and you could start putting them together to see the bigger image of the puzzle. And what it looks like is a plan to overthrow the U.S. government so they can seize control. That's what it looks like. Again, it's not a conspiracy theory when you're talking about it on a Zoom call. And I can watch the Zoom call. All right, real quick. Every government number gets revised, right? Every projection gets walked back. Gold does not file corrections like GovCo. Revelation Gold Group helps families hold physical gold and silver, including in a tax-advantaged gold IRA. It's real, it's in your name, and 10 minutes tells you if your retirement account qualifies. If you want to learn more, go to calendarmetals.com. That's calendarmetals.com. There is a link in the podcast description. Or if you want to talk to somebody, you can call 888-465-3049. So Democrats apparently are planning basically the overthrow of the federal government. And I know what that sounds like when I say it. Part of me is cringing as I say it, too, because like, oh, come on, Pete, that's crazy. Again, they're talking about it on a Zoom call. So they're running the playbook of a color revolution, which is what the people on the Zoom call used to do in other countries before Trump fired them all. Okay? And by the way, they said that, like, you've made a big mistake. We have all this skill set. Now we're going to use it against you. And when you have a solid decade of, you know, calling Republicans fascists and tyrants and authoritarians and Nazis and all these other names, right, you then, you're seeding the field And you now have people who are so unhinged. I see it all the time. I hear it all the time. People who are so unhinged, they think that the country is going to be taken over. There was one neighbor I had a couple years ago, and she was convinced that if Donald Trump won re-election, then that would be the last election because he would then take over the country and be a king. And I said, well, if that's the case, why didn't he do it? And she says, what do you mean? Like, well, like, why didn't he do that in 2020? Like if what your fear that you're expressing to me, if, if that is actually a real thing that you think could happen, why didn't it happen? And she had no answer for that because she could not, this is the cognitive dissonance. She could not, uh, keep it in her mind that the opinion she has might be wrong, despite evidence to the contrary, that dissonance and the brain just shuts down. Can't think. But here's the proof in the Zoom call and in the planning documents, thousands of documents that are being dumped by data Republican. DSA pushes structural reform. If Democrats sweep 2026, DSA activists become the foot soldiers in sustained clashes, which are designed to get the administration to cross a, quote, red line. A red line is any kind of action taken against the, quote, peaceful protesters. And we all know what the left considers peaceful protesting. That would be what they call in their documents the doomsday scenario. Trump invokes the Insurrection Act. They think this could happen next year, 2027. Fingers crossed. Coordinated responses then cast Democrat governors as the new source of legitimacy. And then 2028 becomes a referendum that on whether the system survives or gets burned down. And that's where the DSA comes in. Like that's, so they will, they'll provide the shock troops. Antifa will assist in that. You tear down the, the institutions, you tear down the systems and then 2028 comes around and it's like, okay, you either give us the power or, or everything, like this is the status quo now where the federal government is illegitimate under any Republican. And then maybe people are like, you know what, throw out the whole system, we'll start over. Luke Pickrell, with the Democratic Constitution blog, he fills in the endgame. A constituent assembly, proportional representation, A single legislative body, no Senate anymore. The Senate is too slow, which was, of course, by design by the founders. You don't want government moving very rapidly, adopting laws all willy nilly. You want it to be a. Slow process so as to give people time to think about the stuff, but also to avoid passing bad laws in the heat of passions. Right. Oh, also the amendment process, that gets tossed out too. So in other words, it is a disemboweling of the U.S. Constitution. This is what they are actually describing. The writer over at hotair.com, David Strom, he points out for years, the NGO, the non-government organization, the NGO complex, told us that it existed to protect democracy. Now we get recordings of the Renew Democracy crowd drawing up red lines for when to declare the federal government illegitimate. Funny how saving democracy always ends with them deciding which results count. This is what we are up against. Data Republican says, in her latest information dump today, talking about this woman, Danielle Reif, that the main group that she and other former USAID workers belong to is called Renew to Thrive, or R2T, slash Renew American Democracy, or RAD. And they have an explicit strategy document This is the thing about bureaucrats, you know, like you got to love them and hate them. But yes, you got to love them in the fact that they write down everything. You know, you got to have multiple forms for all the stuff. You got to have a planning document, action items and all that stuff. So the strategy outlines, quote, preparing for the worst, which includes the Insurrection Act being invoked or what they call an election meltdown. An election meltdown. That's where, oh my gosh, there's all this stuff going on. The elections don't matter. Rigged. Rigged, rigged, rigged. Which I guess now is, that's okay to say. If you're a Democrat, there's your Democrat privilege again where you get to call all sorts of elections rigged and it's not treasonous. It doesn't undermine democracy or anything like that. But these are the triggers that they say will happen and they'll be the ones to alert us when the trigger trips, they will be uniquely positioned to tell us and their friends in the media when the triggers are met, you see. So if there's any kind of problem with an election, any kind of problem with a polling station or a state or something, then that's a trigger point. That's the worst. That's an election meltdown, which by the way, That is one of the triggers that we see and have seen over the years in foreign countries where USAID, working with the intel agencies, have enacted these color revolutions. Exact same thing. The election meltdown. Their goal then is to get structural reform in place by that. By whatever that meltdown is or the invocation of the Insurrection Act, which is a polite way of saying that the Constitutional Republic has to be overhauled. It's got to be scrapped. And then what comes in its place? Well, judging by the fact that every single organization has this word in its name, democracy, which the founders explicitly rejected. Let me jump over to the text line. Okay, that's a lie. I'm not actually jumping. I'm just clicking a different tab. Let me click over to the text line. Uh, Dave says this is precisely what Adolf Hitler did with his emergency order, except he was the one creating the legitimacy crisis. Yeah. Well, we talked about this also with the, um, the promotion of the idea of an illegitimate court, the U S Supreme court. Democrats have been engaged in that project for several years, right? And this is the reason why you do it. You undermine the legitimacy of the institutions and, And when you have an echo chamber apparatus at your disposal, as the left does via the legacy media outlets, it may take time, but it eventually takes hold. It's another long march through an institution. It takes time. And this is why I get kind of frustrated with, you know, impatient people on the right that are like, you know, We're pushing back against all of this and yay, we won an election. And now why, why, why haven't we achieved all these victories? Like, well, we achieved one victory. Like now you have to systematically go through and dismantle all of this infrastructure. And that takes time because the other team gets an at bat, right? The opponent gets a say in how long the fight goes. Oscar says, food for thought, would states having more power be bad? No, generally speaking. If you're talking about the dissolution of the republic, yeah, that's probably going to be a bad thing. Alan says, in my mind, arrests can be made today based on the things you've been posting. Scott says, I can't tell if you are saying data republican or data republica. Data Republican. No, there's an N. Uh, Steve says, okay, sure. Cure. Okay. I'm not going to go into the hiccup cures. Okay. Um, Bain says what you're talking about. Dovetails with Atlanta talk show host, Eric Erickson's recent shows about the Omnicause. Yes, that's correct. I've done this. This is, The omnic cause, Ben Shapiro uses this term. People on the left use this term as well. The omnic cause is a singular word to describe the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. It's the omnic cause. Everything is under this cause. And it's an anti-Western, anti-American, anti-free market ideology. That's the omnic cause. The details slash breadcrumbs for a takeover trace back to March 22nd, 1991 and the Muslim Brotherhood. In some ways, this is also akin to the fourth turning. Yeah, well, the fourth turning talks about a, you know, this constitutional crisis. Nullification crisis, and that's what the left is inducing, because that's what they're describing. In these zoom calls. It's a nullification crisis. It is your illegitimate federal government because orange man is Hitler. And so you're illegitimate. So we're going to take power ourselves. We nullify you as a federal authority. That's the fourth turning. Um, Mitch says, love you, man. Uh, I get to catch small parts of your show. My sister and aunt got involved in the no Kings. I have tried to explain to them they're being used, Can you direct me to any print articles that I could send them about the DSA? As a matter of fact, I have. A Patreon account, a Patreon page, and I post all of my show prep there every day. So all the links to everything I talk about, it all gets posted on Patreon. Just go to patreon.com, type in my name. If you can spell it, I'll spell it for you. It's K-A-L-I-N-E-R. And you type in my name, run the search, I'll pop up, and then you can see all of the links to all of this stuff. That I've covered. And I use tags, too, so you can run a search for all DSA-related stuff. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening. I could not do the show without your support and the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast so if you'd like please support them too and tell them you heard it here you can also become a patron at my patreon page or go to the pete calendar show.com again thank you so much for listening and don't break anything while i'm gone
