Yuri Bezmenov, an individual who recorded a plan for a covert takeover of the United States in the late 1970s, discusses the four-step plan for 'ideological subversion' and its relevance today. The podcast explores demoralization, its impact on institutions and organizations, society, and the strategy of ideological subversion, urging people to question information presented through media and education systems.
The first stage of demoralization involves infiltrating education, media, and culture to promote Marxist ideologies.
Destabilization is achieved through power struggles, economic destruction, and isolation, leading to increased government intervention and encirclement.
Ideological subversion progresses through demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization, with non-transparent global organizations superseding national constitutions and democratic processes.
Deep dives
Demoralization: Educate an entire generation in Marxist ideology
The first stage in the process of demoralization is to educate an entire generation in Marxist ideology. This involves infiltrating educational institutions, media, and cultural establishments to promote ideas that align with Marxist principles. The goal is to shape the perceptions and beliefs of society to create a foundation of Marxist thinking.
Destabilization: Power struggle, economic destruction, and isolation
The second stage, destabilization, focuses on creating power struggles within society, destroying the economy, and isolating the country from external support. Populism, labor unions, and isolationist policies are used as methods for destabilization. The result is the implementation of a big brother government, increased government intervention in the economy, and the encirclement of the country.
Crisis: Loss of trust in legitimate bodies of government, dominance of unelected NGOs, and self-appointed groups
In the crisis stage, legitimate bodies of government become distrusted due to corruption. Unelected NGOs and self-appointed groups start running official policies and claim power. This leads to a loss of sovereignty and the dominance of non-transparent global organizations such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations. These entities supersede national constitutions and democratic processes.
The Four Steps of Ideological Subversion
Yuri describes the four steps of ideological subversion: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization. In demoralization, religion, education, media, and culture are targeted to break down moral values and create ignorance. Destabilization involves manipulating law and order, social relations, security, internal politics, and foreign affairs to create distrust. The crisis stage aims to further weaken society, leading to a desire for a strong leader or acceptance of invasion or civil war. Finally, normalization involves stabilizing the country by force, with the self-proclaimed leaders taking control.
The Impact on Family and Society
Yuri highlights how ideological subversion affects family and society, leading to broken relationships and a lack of loyalty. He also mentions how health, particularly the impact of Medicare and junk food, contributes to an enfeebled population. The process of normalization leads to reduced consumption and curbing of expectations. Yuri emphasizes the importance of resisting propaganda and maintaining faith in religion to provide stability and potentially turn things around.
When Yuri Bezmenov sat down to record a series of interviews with G. Edward Griffin in the late 1970s nobody could have predicted just how relevant those videos would be 40+ years later, except for Yuri, of course. He laid out the plan for a covert takeover of the United States without the need to fire a shot.
His four-step plan for “ideological subversion” reads like a blueprint for enslavement, and unfortunately for those paying attention, it appears that we are taking the fourth step and things are about to get scary in a hurry.
Will the general public ever be able to come to a sensible conclusion in the interest of defending themselves with all of the information at their disposal, or have things deteriorated to the point where facts have been replaced by feelings? Unfortunately, it appears that Yuri was right.
