The Not-So-Subtle War on Americanism

I had an interesting conversation with a doctor from Michigan today. I have lots of conversations with doctors, but this was another sort of doctor. A Ph.D doctor, a chemical engineer who had worked for one of the biggest chemical manufacturers in the world. How we ended up meeting I can’t say, (because it would be borderline illegal) but our conversation quickly morphed into something I feel is worth sharing, in fact, something that I’m afraid must be shared.

Being in his mid 80s, Dr. Moore has seen a lot come and go within the sphere of American culture. Lots of fads, TV shows, politicians, massive shifts in geo-political relations. He saw the end of the Berlin wall. He saw an American president assassinated. But what he has seen in his own home, in the course of raising his two teenage grand-daughters, has been more earth shattering than any event we could read about in history books.

We walked down empty hallways talking about his growing up in Michigan, his recent unexpected trip to California, and somehow or another I ended up steering the conversation (as I have a habit of doing) onto the subject of the ongoing socialist subversion of America, naturally. I never quite know how a given conversational partner will respond to this. To me it feels kind of like walking along a tightrope; a slow and exacting approach is best, as rushing head-long toward the intended end will throw off the delicate conversational balance and send the entire thing crashing to the ground. Anyway, in this case my anti-communist sentiments were reciprocated, and in fact, with an almost tragic enthusiasm.

He told me a story about a conversation he had had with two of his grand daughters (both in high school) about Christopher Columbus. The poignant portion being when one of them said, after he had finished a brief digression into the exploits of Columbus, “You know Christopher Columbus was a rapist and a murderer, right?” He asked them where they had heard that, and one replied that in the 7th grade they both had taken a class on American history, and in it they were taught that Columbus was a ruthless, racist, and blood thirsty ravager of the peaceful native villages of the Americas.

So, whether or not this is actually true is not my point, but I’d like to direct your attention to the de facto position of the purveyors of this information, the American academic orthodoxy. Because despite the fact that there exist widely divergent scholarly positions on the issue of Christopher Columbus and his relations with natives in the Americas, these girls had only heard one. Who cares, you ask? Every American citizen, and I believe, every free citizen of the world should care. Because in a country who’s citizens claim to be the freest in the world, rather than be exposed to the variance of historical events that would present the pupil with the real separation of opinions and beliefs with regard to American history, what these and many millions of young Americans experience in school is a systematic and organized selection of historical accounts that all support a singular perspective: That America, at all points along it’s gruesome, violent and racist history is, basically evil. So, what is the big picture here? What does it mean when the public education system of a given country systematically denigrates, maligns, and rejects the very soil in which it is rooted? For the purpose of bringing these pieces together we must take a brief detour to 1960s India, and examine a sharp young KGB agent named Yuri Bezmenov.

Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov was the son of a high ranking officer in the Soviet Army. He attended the Institute of Oriental Languages, a pipeline program for the KGB, established at Moscow State University . He excelled in his understanding of Indian culture and language, which made him a prime contender for various KGB field positions in India.

A few years after graduating in 1963, he was assigned to work for the Soviet news network, RAI Novosti, under the auspices of the KGB. After years of service to the USSR in his capacity as a foreign journalist and KGB informant in India, he defected to Athens, and was eventually granted asylum in Canada. He then became one of the loudest anti-communist voices on the global stage. In a story he published under the alias Thomas Shuman, titled “No Novosti Is Good News” Bezmenov writes that around two thirds of Novosti staffers were in fact KGB officers. He discusses in great detail his exploits in service to the USSR while working at RAI and other publications.

His entire story is fascinating and well documented in various publications, video interviews and lectures available online, but there is a part of his story that is increasingly relevant in this era of anti-capitalist upheaval in the US. Namely, his incredible insights into the techniques of ideological subversion that have been employed in the United States, for decades. In a now famous 1984 interview with an American journalist, Bezmenov sits back in an armchair, relaxed, legs crossed, plainly dressed in a suit and a skinny tie. His large tinted glasses rest neatly on the bridge of his nose as he speaks pristine English with a charming Russian timbre.

“I know that intelligence gathering looks more romantic... That’s probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. In reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all… Only about 15% of time money and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures, or aktivniye meropriyatiya in the language of the KGB, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is, to change the perception of reality of every American, to such an extent that despite the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It’s a great brainwashing process which goes very slow, and is divided into four basic stages. The first one being demoralization.”

“ It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the number of years which is required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words Marxism/Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism. “

He goes on to describe the three other stages on the road to communist subversion: destabilization, crisis, and normalization. The demoralization process in America, says Bezmenov, had been complete for many years by 1984, the year of this interview. The evidence of this is abundantly clear in the era of “social justice” ,“equality” and “cancel culture”. And if you’ve ever had a conversation with a BLM activist or Antifa member, you likely have come up against an impenetrable wall of indoctrination, an intellectual deadzone in which no volume of factual information bears any influence. Bezmenov explains this phenomenon thusly:

Exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information, the facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures, even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camp[s] he will refuse to believe it, until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom, when a military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand. But not before that, that’s the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization.”

What my friend Dr. Moore the Ph.D was saying about his teenage grand daughters brings startling evidence of how far along we are in this process, that the very first hints that something has gone seriously awry are starting to be noticed by the general public. To many it may seem like this shift has occurred suddenly, a perplexing turn toward socialism and communist sympathy among younger generations that arrived seemingly out of nowhere. But in truth this transformation has been underway for decades. It is not organic, it is not “grass-roots”, it has not arisen out of a miraculous enlightenment, it is playing out exactly as planned, just as Mr. Bezmenov and other soviet defectors had warned over thirty years ago.

An actual CNN headline

The internal tensions plaguing the country are evident to everyone. But what you must understand is that it is by design, and not by choice or by chance, that the principles and values of Americanism are left withering to revolution. To see this for yourself all you have to do it is turn on the TV. The language of the legacy media, and thus the public, has become one of contradictions. We call freedom “selfishness”, poverty “equality”, tolerance “racism”, riots “peaceful”, silence “violence” and patriotism “bigotry”. America is a country where you can be attacked for waving an American flag, where violence against strangers with whom you disagree is now socially accepted, and where dissenting voices are readily silenced by our technocratic overlords. What I mean to communicate here, is that we have arrived at a contentious cross-roads in American history, with further progress toward a true communist State, a “new normal” if you will, looming on the left, and a return to a patriotic, prosperous and free normality on the right. The world is watching, the choice is all of ours, and I sincerely hope we make the right one.
