Ex-KGB Defector on Demoralization in America
http://youtube.com/v/qlpODYhnPEo
This is a very interesting video a reader sent me featuring Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov. He was a KGB man who was trained in subversion and who has some very interesting things to report about how communists work to corrupt the judgment and degrade the will of a targeted population. There is long interview with him (about 90 minutes in duration and presented in segments) on YouTube; I think you'll find the whole thing interesting.

    This is old news. What you must ask is if Bezmenov was lying when when he worked for the KGB or was he lying in the 80’s when he worked for Edward Griffin and made this film. What I must ask dear Selwyn, is how much you lie?

    Bogdan says, “This is old news”
    The Cuban missile crisis id old news, WW2 is old news, the fall of the Roman Empire is old news…The age of the news does not impede its relevance. Does the content of the interview give you pause? Perhaps you are not the free thinker you thought you once were…are you afraid you are merely a conditioned (PC for brainwashed) pawn… a “mind numbed robot”, to quote Limbaugh?
    An old Chinese proverb, “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time, is today”
    Moralists (conservatives) have allowed too many “trees of the knowledge of good and evil” to be planted in our forest. We have failed to care for, fertilize and plant our own trees that bear good fruit. Each of us that still hold true to the Truth, must man a shovel, an axe and a bag of compost.

    Actually Walt,
    I don’t disagree that the techniques described by Mr. Bezmenov were used by the KGB. And, I don’t discount the impact they have on a society. They were nothing new, even back then. Basically, the methods employed are rooted in simple disinformation. They work and are only remarkable to the extent that they were used in the sixties. The former Soviet Union was not alone in their application. They have been applied very effectively by the present day Right in the United States. That is the backdrop to my question to Mr. Duke asking how much he lies.

    A lie in defense of liberty makes freedom itself a lie.

    In keeping with Duke’s theory that you can know a man by the friends he keeps; Edward Griffin, the man who made the movie that features Yuri Bezmenov here was a speech writer for George Wallace’s running mate in the sixties. He was instrumental in the John Birch Society and a prominent member of the radical right who had, to describe them gently; many, varied and all extremely strange opinions.
    I guess you really can tell a man by the friends he keeps.

    Gosh, i guess Sarah Palin, with her Alaska Gubanatorial salary and husband Todd’s snowmobile racing winnings, couldn’t afford someone like Griffin to guide her publicity……
    what a shame! oh well..

    However one may want to characterize Bezmenov, what he states here correlates precisely with Cleon Shousen’s observations, and the observations of other Soviet defectors. However, the greatest evidence of the truth of Bezmenov’s remarks is American society itself.

    Sorry, that should be Skousen. (missed the typo on preview).
