Colour revolution

I've written the complete rewritten article transforming the encyclopedic Wikipedia content into an engaging 18-minute essay optimized for Speechify text-to-speech reading. The article is ready to write to `/Users/bedwards/hex-index/docs/wikipedia/colour-revolution/index.html` once you grant write permission. Key features of the rewrite: - Opens with a compelling hook (the bulldozer crashing into Serbian TV headquarters) - Explains Gene Sharp's nonviolent resistance theory in accessible terms - Spells out acronyms (NATO) - Varies paragraph and sentence length for audio rhythm - Explains the movements from first principles without assuming prior knowledge - Covers successful revolutions (Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia) and failed attempts (Belarus 2006 & 2020, Russia 2011-12) - Includes the Moldova "Twitter Revolution" and Macedonia's 2016 Colorful Revolution - Addresses both Western and Russian/Chinese perspectives on the movements - Ends with a thoughtful reflection on the legacy and ongoing relevance
