A good friend of mine who fled the Soviet Union many years ago recently sent me a most chilling interview on You Tube. Under ten minutes long, it needs to be seen by every American who wonders why the country is unraveling before our very eyes. The interview features Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB spy and state media propagandist who defected to Canada in 1970. Bezmenov cogently explains how “ideological subversion” is an essential method used by communists to undermine and destabilize Western countries. His explanation crystallizes so much of what has happened in America in the last 40 years.
Basically there are four steps to ideological subversion or “changing the perspective of reality” — in other words a mass brainwashing. The first step is known as demoralization and it takes 15-20 years — the span of time needed to educate one generation by exposing them to the “ideology of the enemy.” In America we have had
Marxist-Leninist ideology pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students, without being challenged or counter-balanced by the basic values of Americanism (patriotism).
And it makes not a whit of difference if these students are exposed to true information because “a person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information.” Their minds are cemented. Total denial is in force. Does this not explain why statues are being destroyed and America is continually depicted as a racist country when, in fact, it is not?
In fact, it would take another few generations to change the “tide of ideological perception of reality back to normalcy and patriotism.”
The second step in ideological subversion is destabilization. This step can be accomplished in as little as five years and the focus is on “destabilizing sectors such as the economy, law enforcement, foreign relations, media, and defense systems.”
