“FASCINATING - KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov reveals Russian Subversion Tactics - Full Interview” at https://youtu.be/zgmg2VFX058. If you have not listened to this 1984 interview, I recommend you do so to learn more about communist tactics and propaganda which has affected modern day society.

This article is an interesting read, “The 1958 "Psychological Warfare" Plan Playing Out Before Us” at https://www.zerohedge.com/political/1958-psychological-warfare-plan-playing-out-us. Below are a few excerpts.

“I recently wrote about an old 1984 interview with former communist Yuri Bezmenov, who described the “ideological subversion” that could eventually take down America.

It sounds like the stuff of conspiracy theories - until one realizes that his predictions of “demoralization,” “destabilization,” and “crisis” are all unfolding before our eyes.”

“Pondering his prophetic words, I hunted up an old book a friend mentioned to me years ago: “The Naked Communist.” The title, I admit, is chuckle-worthy, but the words inside are no laughing matter, particularly when one reads the section titled, “Importance of the Psychological War.””

““Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.””

“Things take a step closer to home by encouraging the use of “student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.” We’ve had not a little experience with riots and protests lately, many of which have been heavily attended by young people. Are they mere tools in the hands of an ideology we don’t realize is pulling the strings?”

““Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression,” item number 22 commands, while number 31 calls for Communists to “[b]elittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history….””

““The document also suggests discrediting both the Constitution and the Founding Fathers.

Of the latter, it says,

“[p]resent them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the ‘common man.’””

““The list is extensive and many of the items listed as eventual goals are now accepted parts of our culture. There is one more, though, that deserves a closer look:

“Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ‘united force’ to solve economic, political or social problems.””

““Do we accept that ideology and allow it to take over America?

If so, it’s time to join the throngs of corporations, politicians, and average citizens in agitating for change.

But if we decide that ideology isn’t in line with what we believe, nor with the direction we want to see America go, then we must be ready to choose the road less traveled.

This road is one of standing up for truth and justice. It also involves warning others of the consequences that come from giving way to an ideology completely opposed to what America has sought to protect and advance over the years.””
