Joe Rogan Defines Chaos In Minneapolis As “Color Revolution”

February 1, 2026

Left-wing unrest in Minneapolis and elsewhere across the country – whether protests or riots over the past few weeks or over the last decade targeting President Trump and the America First agenda – is being framed as a color revolution operation fueled by dark-money-funded NGOs, and that narrative is now reaching a wider audience.

Democrats are uneasy that this framing is gaining traction after the left-wing revolution was most recently discussed on The Joe Rogan Experience, where host Joe Rogan and guest Andrew Wilson, a conservative podcaster, discussed it.

Rogan discussed how, shortly after Nick Shirley’s investigation into alleged large-scale Somali-linked daycare and autism fraud, there was an immediate “narrative shift” that appeared to coincide with what he described as a coordinated pressure campaign on the ground against federal agents – something Rogan characterized as a “color revolution.”

“For people that don’t, it’s a coordinated effort to cause chaos, and this is a very coordinated thing,” Rogan said.

He continued, “The idea that this is an organic protest, these riots are organic, is nonsense. It’s probably nonsense because now they have access to the Signal chats.” …

The chaos in Minneapolis is part of the left-wing’s protest industrial complex that moves from one high-profile news event to another – from George Floyd protests to pro-Palestinian demonstrations – mobilizing activists with aims at revolution.

There is good news: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sat down with journalist Christopher Rufo earlier this month to discuss plans to investigate dark-money-funded NGOs sowing chaos nationwide. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/joe-rogan-defines-chaos-minneapolis-color-revolution

A color revolution is a term used to describe a mass protest movement that aims to bring about political change—usually the removal of a government—through largely nonmilitary means. These movements often adopt a color or symbol as their name and identity, which helps unify supporters and brand the movement. Supporters generally assert that color revolutions are grassroots democratic uprisings. Critics tend to argue they are foreign-backed and/or NGO backed efforts which help orchestrate them.

The ‘No Kings’ movement is one of many groups supporting the protests in Minneapolis.

It has been suggested that their protests are funded by those looking to cause problems:

during the Antifa roundtable at the White House, Bruner briefed President Trump (read here): “We have identified dozens of radical organizations, not just the decentralized Antifa organizations, but dozens of radical organizations that have received more than $100 million from the Riot Inc investors.” 10/17/25 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fueled-billionaires-no-kings-prepares-color-revolution-style-mobilization-against-trump

In general, the mainstream media has tended to be on the side of the protesters.

And in Minneapolis, the government in that city has repeatedly encouraged people to protest as the following shows:

Jesus taught:

25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)

We are seeing more divide in the USA and parts of it certainly appear to be intentional. Much of it is ideological. The USA is becoming less and less united and more polarized.

Ultimately, this will not end well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11;39; Isaiah 10:5-11; Habakkuk 2:6-8).

Related to the protests and shootings, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

Is 2026 the year the Great Tribulation finally begins? Is this is the start of a Sabbatical cycle some have postulated counts down to the return of Jesus? Is a Sabbatical cycle or Jubilee year even mentioned by Jesus as a leading indicator of the Great Tribulation? Jesus, Himself, pointed to events, including some written by the prophet Daniel. If God has placed some of the understanding of the signs of the beginning of the Great Tribulation in the words of Daniel the prophet till the time of the end, what are those signs? If 2026 is not the year the Great Tribulation begins, could any of the signs mentioned in the book of Daniel begin to take place in 2026? Could this year be the beginning of the end? Do you want to know? In Matthew 24:3,  Jesus’ disciples wanted to know. Of course, we know Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour, but Jesus also told us in Matthew 24:33 that we will know when it is at the very doors! What about the timing of Armageddon? Surely you, just like the disciples, want to know. Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on the future of the possibilities that await us in the new calendar year. Listen as Dr. Thiel explains the scriptures that prophesy a seven year (one week) ‘peace deal’ in Daniel, the breaking of that deal, the rise of the king of the north and the king of the south, the Great Tribulation and the return of our Lord and Savior. The time for the countdown to begin is close at hand.
