Yuri Bezmenov: The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Uncensored Report, LLC
Call me crazy, but did this ex-KGB hit the nail on the head when it comes to changing America over 15-20 years? A video of him talking about it, is at the bottom of this post.
Demoralization. It takes 15 – 20 years to demoralize a society. It includes influencing (infiltration, propaganda, etc.) of various areas where public opinion is shaped: Religion, educational system, social life, administration, law enforcement systems, military and labor-employer relations.
Exploit the people within the society who are ideologically opposed to the system. Use small groups of agents from foreign nations. Distract people from real faith and replace it with artificial faiths in other systems.
In education, distract them from learning something constructive, pragmatic and efficient. Instead of mathematics, chemistry, history, teach them sexuality, home economy, anything to distract.
In social life, replace traditionally established institutions with fake organizations. Take away the initiative from people, take away the natural links between individuals and replace them with bureaucratically controlled systems. Establish social workers’ institutions ruled by bureaucracy. Eliminate the family and replace the main concern with the paycheck from the government.
In government, replace elected officials with un-elected bureaucrats who control the people.
In the major media like the New York Times, you don’t have to be an excellent journalist. You have to be exactly a mediocre journalist.
For the power structure: It is slowly eroded by those who do not have qualifications nor the will of the people.
Law enforcement: Put into place a slow substitution of basic moral principles, where someone who used to be a criminal is now considered a victim.
Labor relations: Destroy the traditionally established links of bargaining between employer and employee. Obedient workers follow their leaders.
Democracy is not a system of equality. It is a system where diverse people of different backgrounds have the chance to compete and thrive.
Destabilization. Destabilize all the accepted institutions and organizations of your enemy.
There is no crime if a professor introduces a course of communism or Marxism into a California college.
The radicalization of negotiations between labor and employers. “Normalizing” violent protests.
The media places itself in opposition to society, to alienate the people.
Subversive “sleepers” now become leaders in society and actively include themselves in the political process. Now, homosexuals make it a political issue to “demand human rights” and instigate violent clashes. Black against white. It doesn’t matter, it’s about creating antagonistic clashes. This is destabilization.
The sleepers are KGB agents. They become leaders to destabilize the targeted nation. Thus, the agent is already a respected citizen of the United States. He even gets money from the government for his struggle labeled “human rights.”
Crisis. The process starts when the legitimate bodies of power cannot function anymore. Instead, artificial bodies are injected into society, such as non-elected committees. They claim power on how to run your life. If power is denied to them, they take it by force. They are often half-baked intellectuals from Harvard or somewhere, they think they know the answers to social problems.
The population at large is looking for a savior to solve the crisis that has been artificially created. They call for socialist government, centralized power. A savior is needed. The savior is then provided as the foreign nation, or the sleeper agents, they call it a revolution. They say, “I will lead you.”
The two alternatives here are: 1) Civil war. 2) Invasion.
Normalization. This stage is to make the subversion results seem “normal” to the people. “Your country is normalized.”
At this point, the workers don’t demand a revolution anymore. This is stabilizing the country by force. Activists, liberals, social workers, homosexuals, professors and Marxists are being eliminated because they are not needed anymore.
The new owners need stability to exploit the nation and take advantage of the victory. The Marxists shoot their own revolutionaries.
Once the subverted culture is “normalized,” the only way to reverse the course of the country is through military intervention.
The most difficult and simplest answer against subversion is to start it before the “demoralization” stage. Bring back religion to restore stability to society. (Halt “cultural Marxism” from marching forward.)
As part of normalization, allow the criminals to have “civil rights” and bring crisis to the country. To defend against this, do not allow them to take political power… do not elect them into power. It must be driven into the heads of the American voters that a person like that is an enemy of the state.
Restriction of certain freedoms would prevent sliding into crisis. To curb unlimited power of the trade unions would save the economy from collapse. To introduce a law to stop private companies of raping public opinions in the direction of consumerism. No company must have a right to force you into buying more unless you want.
Demoralization is the easiest thing to reverse. Restrict the import of propaganda. The unrestrained import of Soviet journalists… it has to be stopped. They won’t be offended, they will respect America more. My colleague appears on Nightline and Ted Koppel asks him, “What do you think?” What can he think? He is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Soviet empire.
The process of demoralization will not start at all if the country prevents the importation of foreign ideology. You don’t have to shoot every foreigner… but when he offers you junk in the disguise of shiny something, you have to tell him, “No. We have our own junk.”
If the country is strong enough to stop the importation of ideas which are foreign, then the whole chain of subversion can be prevented.
Many societies throughout history collapsed the moment they lost religion. The idea of human beings as intelligent, moral agents of God can prevent collapse. But all the technology and computers will not prevent collapse. No one will fight to defend “2+2=4″ but millions will fight to protect God and religious faith.
The answer to ideological subversion is very simple. You don’t have to shoot people. You simply have to have faith and prevent subversion… not to be a victim of subversion. Strike not with force but with the superiority of your intellect.
