How One Man (and One Bible Ban) Made DeSantis Blink

Available For Work

I’m looking for paid, remote-friendly work in IT, systems, automation, and analysis.

SEO, GEO, and AI ... up to speed on that.

I’m a former NASA, Microsoft, and IBM vendor who now finds himself between engagements. This isn’t a pivot away from REVOLT—it’s an honest statement of capacity.

My background is technical. I don’t do vibes. I do systems.

I specialize in diagnosing why things don’t work, then fixing, simplifying, or rebuilding them so they stop breaking. If your operation runs on tribal knowledge or duct tape, I’m useful.

Contract, project-based, or short-term work is fine.
Unpaid, equity-only, or vague ideas aren’t.
If you need competence and results, reach out.

How Chaz Stevens Weaponizes Communication to Burn Systems Down (and Make DeSantis Blink)

Forget influencer fluff. If you want real talk on strategic communication, listen to the guy who made Ron DeSantis rewrite his own law.

Meet Dr. T Chaz Stevens—founder of REVOLT Training, the one-man wrecking ball who filed 62 Bible ban requests across Florida and turned the state’s censorship law into a punchline. But behind the headlines and Festivus poles lies a communication method as precise as a sniper shot—and just as deadly to bullshit.

The Accidental Activist with an Intentional Voice

Stevens didn’t set out to become a public disruptor. Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, he describes his brain as wired for precision, persistence, and a deep-seated intolerance for hypocrisy. That wiring helped send three Florida officials to jail, collapse religious favoritism in public displays, and force a governor to retreat on book bans.

He calls it “malicious compliance.” We call it effective as hell.

5 Communication Tactics That Actually Work

1. Directness Wins
Cut the fluff. If your point can’t survive without buzzwords, it probably sucks. Stevens says: “Say exactly what you mean. Clarity beats cleverness.”

2. Active Listening
Whether you’re interrogating corruption or helping someone in crisis, repeat back what you heard. Don’t just hear—confirm.

3. Structure Matters
Thanks to his OCD and autistic cognition, Chaz builds media pitches and legal filings like battle maps: tight, logical, ruthless.

4. Use Visuals
A hand-sketched Festivus pole application on the back of an envelope once changed Florida policy. Don’t underestimate a sharp visual.

5. Adapt or Die
Chaz shifts tone depending on audience—from federal courtrooms to late-night talk shows. “One size doesn’t fit all, and neither does one voice.”

Stage Fright? Try a Duck Face.

Stevens struggles with anxiety and social cues. So how does he kill it onstage?

Over-prep + authenticity.
He shares stage-fright jokes, breathes deep, and channels his larger-than-life persona—“a duck gliding above water, paddling like hell below.”

Digital Dissonance: Why Tweets Don’t Win Battles

Chaz isn’t a fan of screaming into the social media void. “Clicks don’t make change,” he says. He’s old-school—prefers a front-page Sunday story over going viral. His strategy? Make your actions impossible to ignore. Let the media come to you.

The Big Play: Chaz Stevens College for Disruption Knowledge

His next act? Training one million new disruptors.
Welcome to Disruption U—where the curriculum is weaponized communication, public record jiu-jitsu, and pressure-point activism. It’s not a movement for the faint-hearted. It’s a boot camp for system breakers.

Final Word

From the Florida Capitol to federal court, from satirical invocations to national headlines, Chaz Stevens has proven one thing:

If you can communicate clearly and ruthlessly, you can break the system and build something better.

Exposing Hypocrisy

One Story At A Time.

"Disruption Isn’t Just Necessary—It’s Democratic."

"Chaz Stevens has always embodied a fearless, in-your-face style of activism that cuts through noise and demands attention. His work isn’t just provocative—it’s purposeful. Whether he’s challenging government hypocrisy, exposing corruption, or pushing the boundaries of free expression, Chaz does so with biting humor and unapologetic urgency."

"What makes Chaz especially powerful is that his activism forces people to think—about power dynamics, institutional contradictions, and our collective responsibility to speak out. He doesn’t just push the envelope; he sets it on fire to make his point."

"In Florida, where critical voices are often silenced and sanitized, Chaz Stevens is a powerful reminder that disruption isn’t just necessary—it’s democratic."

Anna Eskamani, Florida State Representative

"Satan Loves the First Amendment. Broward Schools Didn’t."

"The Church of Satanology, run by the Ministry of Chaz the Bropostle, is a more political, constitution-based effort than it is an actual religion. "

Lianna Norman, USA Today

"This “Bite Me Greg” Activist Wants Them in Arabic With a Dash of Satanism."

"It’s a form of protest so ridiculous, it could actually work — and we would expect nothing else from a Florida guy [...] who’s back for a second round — and ready to mess with Texas."

Riya Misra, The Barbed Wire

"Council Braces for Flag Lawsuit Showdown."

"I think [Church of Satanology] is just nudging us to make the correct separation of church and state."

Torrington, CT City Council member Stephan Ivain

"The Law is on His Side."

“This letter was sent to poke the city in the eye for its poor choices ... [Chaz] knows what he's doing and the law is on his side.”

Attorney and Hartford, CT councilmen Joshua Michtom

"Stop Flag Propaganda."

"To help save it from itself, Connecticut could use a few more gadflies like T. Chaz Stevens."

Chris Powell, Columnist, CT Examiner

"It’s peaceful, it’s not violent."

"CHAZ STEVENS, the leader of Revolt Training, is heading out to Fort Lauderdale with 11 other protestors to — wait for it — wear inflatable male genitalia costumes paired with masks of Trump’s face."

Stevens said, "We are there smiling and taking pictures and it’s the absolute essence of our constitutional rights. Plus we’ll have a good time.”

Kimberly Leopard, Politico

“Provocative Activism That Gets Results Beyond Lawsuits.”

"As someone who has covered church/state separation for decades, I know that it's not always enough to make speeches or file lawsuits. Sometimes, you just need to grab the public's attention. No one does that better than Chaz Stevens."

"Yes, he's provocative. Yes, he can be abrasive. Yes, he often rubs traditionalists the wrong way."

"But here's the thing: He gets results. He demands attention through his unique brand of clever, funny, effective activism. That kind of public spotlight on a story can often do more than an entire cadre of lawyers. "

Hemant Mehta, editor of FriendlyAtheist.com

“Chaz Stevens Weaponizes Bureaucracy for Change.”

"As a media disrupter, guerrilla marketer, and all-around political gadfly, Chaz Stevens personifies John Lewis' idea of 'Good Trouble.' Few in Florida know more about weaponizing governmental bureaucracy to achieve tangible positive results."

"South Florida politicos have long admired (or feared) his sharp wit, savvy and doggedness — now, Chaz can show you the best, most effective way to get s**t done."

Phil Ammann, Journalist, Florida Politics

"A Relentless, Fearless, and Brilliantly Satirical Force."

"His unique brand of activism - equal parts performance art and legal precision has led to tangible change: public displays removed, policies reevaluated, and a growing awareness of the need for true governmental neutrality in matters of religion.”

Sharon Baron, editor of ParklandTalk.com

“Defending the Constitution, Not Your Feelings.”

"Chaz Stevens doesn’t care about you or your feelings because he’s defending the U.S. Constitution."

"And he’ll go to the mat to keep it unsullied by those who seek to defile it in the name of any agenda."

Anne Geggis, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

"Sends Politicians Packing."

"There are those who don't know Chaz and those he sent to jail."

Aaron Nevins, GOP Consultant

"Diligent and Brutally Passionate."

"His pursuit of truth is intense and motivated. Love him or hate him, you must respect his work ethic and focus."
