Harvard Professor Erica Chenoweth’s Pillar Strategy
Erica Chenoweth’s research highlights that nonviolent movements succeed by inducing defections within an opponent's "pillars of support"—institutions upholding the regime, such as economic elites, business leaders, media, and security forces. Targeting these pillars with economic pressure (strikes, boycotts) weakens regime loyalty, forcing structural change.
Key Aspects of Chenoweth’s Pillar Strategy:
• Definition: Pillars of support are the essential institutions (e.g., police, military, civil servants, media, organized labor, business leaders, educational systems) that maintain an authoritarian or unjust system.
• The Goal (Defection): Rather than directly attacking the regime, successful campaigns target these pillars to cause, in Chenoweth's term, "defections" - where key stakeholders stop supporting the leadership.
• Economic Tactics: Key actions include labor actions, consumer boycotts, and targeted pressure on economic elites and business leaders.
• Informed Pillar Strategy: Research suggests that identifying and focusing on the least loyal or most "low-hanging" pillars is more effective for small-to-medium movements than broad, random, or only massive mobilization.
• Disruptive Power: The goal is to break the perception that supporting the regime is in the best interest of these institutions.
The approach emphasizes that, while mass participation is crucial, specific, strategic action against the pillars of support is a more effective way to create, in Chenoweth's terms, a "cascade of defections".

From The Peaceful Solution:
The Repugnant-ones regard this political conflict as a street brawl and use the corresponding rules (none) and tactics.
The Dems regard it as a board game played in the parlor. That sort of “Resistance “ will not prevail.
Those of us in The Resistance must think beyond the midterms, about how to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of the country.
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending, except on essentials. Stop the fascist takeover.

W O W. !!! That walk really put your brain in overdrive today.
Walking and typing at same time. ???
How long have we worked on getting republicans to walk and chew gum at same time??? Would they ever be amazed at you !!!!
Great detailed information today.
Regarding FAA issue: the Trump, no response, mute, reminds me of Bush and 911. Did either know before hand or did the ruling Republican politiboros/cabals have them so in the dark that neither had any understanding and therefore no briefings so going into hiding was only choice.
Keep digging on FAA….and just after the Microsoft communication disaster and just before the communist summit this week with Trump, Xi, Putin and Elon. Real danger in that meeting. Possibly announcement of New World Order before U S government changes to Democrat majority.
I am so grateful for you Ben, everyone at MTN, and all the Meidas mighty! I appreciate all you do to bring the truth every day. I really hope that there is generational change as a result of this election - the people have spoken! No one wants this shit anymore. It is infuriating to be led by a bunch of unqualified, evil grifters. I can’t wait until they are all out of office, investigated, and hopefully paying for their crimes for many, many years.
It's not even him posting 😂 😂 😂 😂 we can't trust it's not his whore posting
Did he have yet ANOTHER stroke? What have his doctors been doing the last 5 days? Track them—there’s your answer!
Apparently, trump is blaming Biden for the airport grounding. Of course.

Recent photos of the WH are shocking
The worlds premier symbol of strength, resolve, democracy and freedom is being overshadowed by a warehouse called s ballroom.
Altering America's most symbolic monument is akin to doing a touchup on the Mona Lisa
Historic desecration
Architecture is as permanent as most things...and it's what all authoritarian 'leaders' do, according to experts.
China and Russia are not redoing the Forbidden City or the Kremlin
Architecture is not permanent - it can be torn down, burned down, whatever.
Especially ballrooms and self-serving arches!

They used the same contractor who did the Reflecting Pool. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dick-tater tramp is surrounded by spys manipulating him like a marionette.
IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH, CONVICT, CONVICT, CONVICT, straight jacket.
in a padded room!
I’m in total agreement with everything you say. But I do have one question. How do you walk talk and type on your phone at the same time?
W O W. !!! That walk really put your brain in overdrive today.

How long have we worked on getting republicans to walk and chew gum at same time??? Would they ever be amazed at you !!!!

I can’t wait to see Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff called before Congress. I hope they’re wearing their puffer jackets.
