Charts: The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion

Former KBG agent, Yuri Bezmenov, who defected to the U.S. in 1970, embarked on a personal mission to warn America exactly how the USSR was subverting our Nation.  Famous during the 1980’s for his G. Edward Griffin interviews and the lectures he later offered, Bezmenov also wrote a handful of books on the same topic under the name Tomas Schuman.  The tactics he laid out are a very old playbook that can be used by anyone, which is precisely what’s been going down.

We are going to draw upon the information that Bezmenov provided in his book, Love Letter to America (1984).  Even though it is 40 years later, you will be shocked how dead-on Bezmenov was in most of his predictions – almost every issue our nation faces today is described in this book. It’s very important you pay attention to the details – each detail represents one of those threads that needs to be either preserved or rewoven back into the fabric of our Nation.  Please commit to educating yourself with the content of this book.  If not here, then download the book – it is only 24 pages long and it is free.  Read it – share it – and learn from it.  The future of America depends on every man, woman and child who loves our country.

In this post we need to briefly cover two charts.

The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion

Prelude
Chart 1. The Movement from an Open Society to a Closed Society
Chart 2. The Subversion Process
Part I – Demoralization
Part II – Destabilization
Part III – Crisis
Part IV – Normalization


Chart 1: The Movement From An Open Society To A Closed Society (click to open pdf in new tab).  Based on current events it is our estimation that America is presently struggling in the highlighted areas in the chart below.

 

Chart 2: The Subversion Process (click to open pdf in new tab).  Based on current events it is our estimation that America is generally in the Destabilization phase of the chart below.  We do not believe that every item under “Demoralization” has been successfully completed:

When studying these charts we believe it is necessary to consider the following essential points:

1.  None of the items in either chart happen one at a time nor in the very exact order presented; they would happen simultaneously, in various orders, and with much overlap.

2.  In regards to the estimates that Bezmenov (Schuman) predicts on how many each stage lasts, it is presumed that his time-scale is based on how long it took for the USSR to successfully and completely take-over other countries.  Because Americans do not quickly succumb to negative changes, we believe that some stages (if fulfilled) would most likely take longer.

3.  Because Americans do not readily succumb to negative changes, citizen-driven self-correction has been taking place in some areas for decades.  Examples:
*Main stream Media has been gradually being replaced with alternatives.  With distrust of the media up significantly (Rasmussen: 58% Of Voters Agree: Media Are ‘Enemy of the People’), alternatives are now becoming main stream.  Digital news is in, and traditional news sources were thrown out along with their physical print papers (good riddance);
*Regarding Security – For at least the last twenty years Americans have increasingly become more heavily armed (and educated) for personal defense measures (gun-owner statistics here);
*Regarding Labor – A majority of states (28) are now Right-To-Work States, rather than forced union membership; seventeen states have been added to the list since 1950, with six having passed their RTW laws since 2000 (map here).
*Regarding Education – We are currently witnessing a beautiful and historic surge of citizen-driven self-correction in public schools across the Nation in response to: Lock-downs, masks and experimental vaccines; critical race theory; transgender issues; and overall over-reach of teachers, unions and school boards.  Additionally, there has also been a significant increase in home schooling.  In addition to Education, home-schooling is known to have a very positive influence on family, family loyalty, faith and individual responsibility.

4.  While many components in this subversive communist process have clearly been attempted in our Nation’s history, America is truly the only free country in the world that has never undergone this entire process successfully.  Generally speaking, we have managed to somewhat recover from various half-hearted attempts.  We have gained some of the lost ground back, but definitely not all of it.

5.  The natural spirit and mindset of the average American does not consciously succumb to any process of subversion ever.  It is not in our DNA – even with those that we might accurately consider lazy or apathetic.  Obvious subversion is extremely offensive and despicable to all Americans, even to those who are completely ignorant in standard civics, history and current political events.
Example:  Imagine the door-to-door vaccine police knocking on doors in Venezuela or China – those (captive) citizens would never consider saying No.  However here in America, it is almost certain that the vast majority of citizens will either aggressively oppose, shockingly recoil, or politely resist such a person showing up on their doorstop.  Americans are instinctively wired to defend, resent and resist any obvious action that threatens the personal freedom they have experienced all their lives.  We believe the only real exceptions would be physically or mentally vulnerable people who are incapable of resisting.  We do count cowards as mentally vulnerable people.  And we do not count Marxists as average Americans.

6.  Despite the natural spirit and mindset of the average American, we can also have weaknesses that enable Ideological Subversion:
a. Ignorance.  Of history, and ignorance of our civic duty.
b. Short attention span.  Most of the phases in this strategy play out gradually over years, not months.
c. Naivety.  That ‘most of those in charge’ will ultimately do their job legally and correctly.
d. Disbelief.  That our freedoms in America could really be taken away.
e. Insecurity.  Of how, when and where to be proactive.
f.  Most of the above weaknesses will contribute to a herd-mentality.

7.  The internet and technology has increased the speed of this process significantly.  It is worth mentioning that there are well-meaning Americans who do not know how to use technology, and others that do not know how to use it effectively.  Mounting a coordinated and effective patriotic defense against this process that is playing out increasingly faster is a weakness that must be addressed.
