Color Revolutionaries Running Presidential Debates?

The Commission on Presidential Debates has two co-chairs, one nominally a Republican, Frank Fahrenkopf, and a nominal Democrat, Kenneth Wollack. Fahrenkopf was one of the founders of the CPD, co-founded the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and sits on the board of the International Republican Institute (IRI), one of the NED pillars. In 1987, Fahrenkopf had called on the Federal Election Commission to exclude Lyndon LaRouche from the general election. Wollack previously ran the National Democratic Institute (NDI), the other NED pillar. The collection of NED, IRI, and NDI act as something akin to a civil-society/NGO version of the CIA, creating color revolutions overseas to achieve political objectives. Are they now using the experience they’ve gained to create a color revolution in the United States?

C-SPAN Political Editor Steve Scully, a former Biden intern who was to serve as moderator of the second debate, apparently slipped up on Twitter Thursday night, seemingly asking anti-Trump Anthony Scaramucci: “should I respond to trump” perhaps intending to send a direct message. Scaramucci responded: “Ignore. He is having a hard enough time. Some more bad stuff about to go down.”

C-SPAN has claimed that the tweet was not written by Scully and that they’re looking into who hacked his account. Maybe CrowdStrike can investigate — or Joy Ann Reid, who has claimed personal experience of a hacker (apparently with time-traveling capabilities) adding anti-gay posts to her old blog.
