Overview

Yuri Bezmenov’s exposé on subversion dives deep into the ways societies can be destabilized through psychological warfare. Far from the smoke and mirrors of espionage as portrayed in Hollywood, Bezmenov uncovers a more insidious form of subversion that involves manipulating cultural and political institutions. This strategy, used extensively by the KGB, aims to undermine and ultimately control societies from within without leaving a trace of direct aggression.

The process of subversion outlined by Bezmenov unfolds in distinct stages, beginning with demoralization that takes years of subtle manipulation of educational, religious, and social systems. This spirals into destabilization, escalating societal conflicts until a crisis emerges, setting the stage for a new ideological control to take root. Throughout his analysis, Bezmenov emphasizes the reliance on non-violent means and the strategic use of media and education to reshape public perception and values.

Bezmenov warns of the potential vulnerabilities within open societies, stressing the importance of vigilance and cultural resilience to counteract subversive influences. His insights serve as both a wake-up call and a guide to maintaining the ideological integrity and sovereignty of nations in an increasingly interconnected world. The lecture culminates in a poignant reminder: the ultimate defense against subversion is maintaining faith, cultural identity, and vigilance against foreign ideological impositions.

Chapters

• 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction to Subversion Subversion is defined as activities aimed at destroying or disrupting systems such as religion, government, political, or economic systems of a country. It is commonly associated with espionage and actions like blowing up bridges and side-tracking trains.
• 00:30 - 01:30: Misconceptions About the KGB This chapter aims to debunk common misconceptions about the KGB, particularly the dramatized depiction often portrayed in Hollywood. It emphasizes that the real activities of the KGB were far removed from the stereotypical espionage or intelligence-gathering missions. The discussion focuses on clarifying these misunderstandings and providing a more accurate portrayal of the KGB's functions.
• 01:30 - 02:30: The True Mission of Subversion The chapter begins by addressing common misconceptions about the priorities of Soviet intelligence. Many believe that their main goal is to acquire technological secrets like blueprints for advanced jets to aid their military-industrial complex. However, this understanding only partially captures the broader agenda at play.
• 02:30 - 04:30: Mechanisms of Subversion The chapter discusses the allocation of resources by the Soviet Union and specifically the KGB for operations outside of the USSR. It notes the absence of official statistics for these activities, contrasting it with similar operations by agencies like the CIA or FBI. However, it highlights that espionage only constitutes a small percentage, approximately 10 to 15 percent, of these operations.
• 04:30 - 06:00: Demoralization and Its Impact The chapter discusses the concept of demoralization and its effects, focusing on how it relates to subversive activities. It highlights that only 15% of the KGB's efforts involve direct action, while 85% are dedicated to subversion. Subversion, in Soviet terminology, is defined as a destructive and aggressive activity aimed at overthrowing a nation.
• 06:00 - 09:30: Destabilization and Radicalization The chapter titled 'Destabilization and Radicalization' discusses the concept and methods of destabilizing and radicalizing a nation or geographical area identified as the enemy. The transcript highlights that the tactics involved are not the dramatic, spy-like activities as often portrayed in media such as blowing up bridges or hiding microfilms in Coke cans. Instead, these activities are usually legitimate, overt, and easily observable if one takes the time to look. They operate within the boundaries of law and law enforcement systems, making them a subversive yet lawful approach to destabilization.
• 09:30 - 12:00: Crises and the Need for a Savior The chapter explores the concept that Western civilization faces crises stemming from misunderstood and manipulated terms. It challenges the notion of a "subverter," traditionally seen as someone committing overt acts of sabotage, by redefining it as individuals who subtly influence cultural or political environments, such as students, diplomats, actors, artists, or journalists. The narrative draws from a personal anecdote of the speaker's experience as a journalist to illustrate this point.
• 12:00 - 14:30: Normalization and Control The chapter discusses the concept of normalization and control as a mutual process. It highlights that subversion requires consent from both sides, using historical Japan as an example of a society that resisted external influence by rejecting foreign intervention strongly.
• 14:30 - 16:00: Preventing Subversion This chapter discusses how Japan has managed to resist cultural subversion by maintaining its own cultural identity and rejecting foreign influences, such as American industrial products, in order to preserve its traditions and values. The example given is of an American salesman trying to sell vacuum cleaners in Japan, and how the Japanese people's resistance to adopting such foreign influences has kept their culture intact.

• 00:00 - 00:30 subversion is the term if if you look in in a dictionary or criminal code to that matter usually is ex is explained as a part of activity to destroy things like religion government system political economical system of a country and usually it's linked to espionage and such romantic things as blowing up bridges side tracking trains
• 00:30 - 01:00 clock and dagger activity in hollywood style when what i'm going to talk about now has absolutely nothing to do with the cliche of espionage or kgb activity of collecting information so the greatest mistake or mis misconception i think is that whenever we are talking about kgb for some strange reason
• 01:00 - 01:30 uh starting from hollywood movie makers to professors of political science and quote-unquote experts on soviet affairs or cremonologists as they call themselves they think that the most desirable thing for andropov and the whole kgb is to steal blueprints of some supersonic jet bring it back to soviet union and sell it to the soviet military industrial complex it's only partly true if if we take
• 01:30 - 02:00 the whole time money and manpower that the soviet union and kgb in particular spends outside of ussr border we will discover of course there are no official statistics unlike with cia or fbi but the espionage as such occupies only 10 to 15
• 02:00 - 02:30 of money time and manpower 15 of the activity kgb the rest 85 is always subversion and unlike a dictionary of english oxford dictionary subversion in soviet terminology means always a destructive aggressive activity aimed to destroy the country
• 02:30 - 03:00 nation or geographical area of your enemy so there's no romantics in there absolutely no blowing up bridges no microfilms in coca-cola cans nothing of that sort no james bond nonsense it's most of the this activity is overt legitimate and easily observable if you give yourself time and trouble to observe it but according to the law and and law enforcement systems of the
• 03:00 - 03:30 western civilization it's not a crime exactly because of misconception manipulation of terms we think that subverter is a person who is going to blow up our beautiful bridges no subverter is a student who come for exchange a diplomat an actor an artist a journalist like myself was 10 years ago now subversion
• 03:30 - 04:00 is an activity which is a two-way traffic you cannot subvert an enemy which doesn't want to be subverted if you know history of japan for example before 20th century japan was a closed society the moment a foreign boat comes to the shores of japan the imperial japanese army politely tell them to get lost
• 04:00 - 04:30 and if american salesman comes to the shore of japan let's say 60 or 70 years from now back and says oh i have a very beautiful vacuum cleaner for you you know with the good financing please leave us we don't need your vacuum cleaner if they don't leave they shoot them to preserve their culture ideology traditions values impact you were not able to subvert japan
• 04:30 - 05:00 you cannot subvert soviet union because the borders are closed the media is censored by the government the population is controlled by the kgb and internal police with all the beautiful glossy pictures of time magazine and magazine america which is published by by the uh american embassy in moscow you cannot subvert soviet citizens because the magazine never reaches soviet citizens it's collected from the
• 05:00 - 05:30 new stamps and thrown to garbage can subversion can be only successful when the initiator the actor the act the agent of subversion has a responsive target it's a two-way traffic united states is a receptive target of subversion there is no response similar to that one
• 05:30 - 06:00 from united states to the soviet union it stops halfway somewhere it never reaches here the theory of subversion goes all the way back 2 500 years ago the first human being who formulated the tactics of subversion was a chinese philosopher by the name of sunset
• 06:00 - 06:30 to 3500 years bc it was an advisor for several imperial courts in ancient china and he said after long meditation that to implement foreign to implement state policy in a warlike manner it's the most counterproductive barbaric and inefficient to fight on a battlefield
• 06:30 - 07:00 you know that war is continuation of state policy right so if you want successfully to implement your state policy and you start fighting this is the most idiotic way to do it the highest arc of warfare is not to fight at all but to subvert anything of value in the country of your enemy until such time that the perception of reality of your enemy is screwed up to such an extent that he
• 07:00 - 07:30 does not perceive you as an enemy and that your system your civilization and your for ambitions look to your enemy as an alternative if not desirable then at least visible better red than dead that's the ultimate purpose the final stage of subversion after which you can simply take your enemy without a single shot being fired
• 07:30 - 08:00 if the subversion is successful this is basically what subversion means as you see not the single mentioning of blowing up bridges of course sunset didn't know about blowing up bridges maybe there were not that many bridges at that time but the basics of subversion is being taught to every student of kgb school in ussr and to offices of military academies
• 08:00 - 08:30 i'm not sure if the same author is included in the list of breeding for american officers to say nothing about ordinary students of political science i had difficulty to find the translation of sunset in in the library of a university in toronto and later on here in los angeles but it's a it's a book which is not available it is forced to every student
• 08:30 - 09:00 in ussr every student who is who is taught to be dealing further in in his future career with foreigners what subversion is basically it consists of four periods time wise if we start from here and go this way time right this is the beginning point the first stage of subversion is the process which is called basically demoralization says for itself what it is
• 09:00 - 09:30 it takes from um say 15 to 20 years to demoralize a society why why 15 or 20 years this is the time sufficient to educate one generation of students or children one generation
• 09:30 - 10:00 one lifetime span of a person a human being which is dedicated to study to shaping up the outlook ideology personality no more no less usually it takes from 15 to 20 years what it includes it includes influencing or by various matters infiltration uh propaganda methods direct contacts
• 10:00 - 10:30 doesn't really matter i will describe them later of various areas where public opinion is formulated or shaped religion educational system social life administration law enforcement system military of course and labor and employer relations economy okay five areas
• 10:30 - 11:00 uh i will not write them down because will not have enough space some sometimes when i describe all the methods uh students ask me question are you sure this is the result of the soviet influence not necessarily you see the tactic of subversion about which i'm talking is similar to the martial art the japanese martial art if you're if some of you familiar with
• 11:00 - 11:30 that tactic probably you will remember that if an enemy is bigger and heavier than yourself it would be very painful to resist his direct strike if a heavier person wants to strike me in the face it would be very naive and counterproductive to stop his blow the chinese and japanese judo art tells us what to do first to avoid the strike then to grab the fist and continue his
• 11:30 - 12:00 movement in the direction where it was before right until the enemy crashes in the wall you see so what happens here the target country obviously does something wrong if it's a free democratic society there are many different movements within the society that obviously in every society
• 12:00 - 12:30 there are people who are against this society they may be simple criminals ideologically in disagreement with with the state policy conscientious enemies simply psychotic personalities who are against anything right and finally they're a small group of agents of a foreign nation bought subverted recruited right the moment all these movements will be directed in one direction
• 12:30 - 13:00 right this is the time to catch that movement and to continue it until the movement forces the whole society into collapse into crisis right so that's exactly the martial art tactic we don't stop an enemy we let him go we help him to go in the direction we want them to go okay so on the stage of demoralization obviously there are tendencies in each society in each country which are going
• 13:00 - 13:30 to opposite direction from the basic moral values and principles to take advantage of these movements to capitalize on them is the main purpose of the originator of subversion so we have religion we have education we have social life we have power structure we have labor relations unions and finally we have
• 13:30 - 14:00 law and order one two three four five six okay these are the areas of application of subversion what it means exactly in case of religion destroy it ridicule it replace it with various sex cults which bring people's attention faith whether it is naive primitive doesn't really matter as long as the basically accepted religious dogma is being slowly eroded
• 14:00 - 14:30 and taken away from the supreme purpose of religion to keep people in touch with with the supreme being that serves the purpose therefore replaced accepted respected religious organizations with fake organizations distract people attention from the real faith and attract them to various different faiths education distract them from learning
• 14:30 - 15:00 something which is constructive pragmatic efficient instead of mathematics physics foreign languages chemistry teach them history of urban warfare natural food uh home economy your sexuality anything as long as it takes you away okay uh social life
• 15:00 - 15:30 replace traditionally established institutions and organizations with fake organizations take away the initiative from people take away the responsibility from naturally established links between individuals group of individuals and society at large and replace them with artificially bureaucratically controlled bodies instead of social life and friendship between neighbors establish social workers
• 15:30 - 16:00 institutions the people who are on payroll of whom society no bureaucracy the main concern of social workers is not your family not you not social relations between groups of people the main concern is to get the paycheck from the government what will be the result of their social work doesn't really matter they can develop all kind of concepts to show them to show to the government and to the people that they're used for
• 16:00 - 16:30 okay away from the natural links power structure okay the natural bodies of administration which are traditionally either elected by by people at large or appointed by elected leaders of society are being actively substituted by artificial bodies the bodies of people groups of people whom nobody elected never as a matter of fact most of the
• 16:30 - 17:00 people don't like them at all and yet they exist one of the such group is media who elected them how come how come they they face they have so much power almost monopolistic power on your mind they can rape your mind but who elected them how come they are they have a nerve to decide what is good and what is bad for for the elected by you president and his
• 17:00 - 17:30 administration who the hell are they who was hated by the liberal left called them a bunch of enfield snobs and that's exactly what they are they think they know they don't say the level of mediocracy in a big establishment like new york times los angeles time major television network you don't have to be excellent journalist
• 17:30 - 18:00 you have to be exactly a mediocre journalist that's easier to survive there's no competition anymore you have your good nice income 100 000 a year that's it whether you're better or worse doesn't really matter anymore as soon as you're smiling to the camera and do your job that's it no more no more competition power structure slowly is eroded by the bodies and groups of people who
• 18:00 - 18:30 do not have neither qualification nor the will of people to keep them in power and yet they do have power okay together with that there is another process law enforcement law and order uh organization and structure is being eroded for the last 20 25 years you you if you see old movies and new movies you can see that in new movies a policeman an officer of the united states army looks dumb angry psychotic paranoid
• 18:30 - 19:00 a criminal looks nice kind of well he smokes hash and shoots the whatever drug but basically he's a nice human being he's creative and he's unproductive only because society oppresses him whereby a general pentagon is always by definition a dumb a war maniac a policeman is a big rude policeman he abuses his power
• 19:00 - 19:30 you know a generality generalization like that the hatred the mistrust to the people who supposed to protect you and enforce law and order moral relativity the angel of warner process lasted two years in los angeles relativity the angel of warner process lasted two years in los angeles and yet there are still some lawyers who say look he's a nice character as a matter of fact there was some witness who said also a
• 19:30 - 20:00 criminal who said well he's a nice guy i ask him one day to burn a house of my enemy and he wouldn't do it [Laughter] a slow substitution of basic moral principles whereby a criminal is not a criminal actually he's a defendant even if his guilt is proven there is still a doubt to kill or not to
• 20:00 - 20:30 kill to be or not to be thai shall not kill yes but this line may not necessarily be applicable to a murderer but i shall not murder that should be the the presumption not not that i shall not kill okay labor relations at this stage within 15 to 20 years we destroy the traditionally established links of
• 20:30 - 21:00 bargaining between employer and employee the classical marxist leninist theory of natural exchange of goods a person a has five sacks of grain and person b has five pairs of shoes and the natural exchange without money is when they bargain between each other and only with the introduction of the third four c
• 21:00 - 21:30 an entirely third foreign stranger who says no don't give him five sacks of drink give it to me and you give me your five pairs of shoes and i will distribute it accordingly so the economy will go this is the death of natural exchange and that death of natural bargaining well trade unions were established 100 years ago the objective was to improve working conditions and to protect the rights of workers
• 21:30 - 22:00 from those employers who were abusing their their right because they had more money objectively at that time initially the trade union movement did work what we see now is that the bargaining process is no longer resulting into in the compromise which is leading objectively to betterment of working conditions and increase of salary what we see
• 22:00 - 22:30 is that after each prolonged strike the workers lose even if they have 10 increase of their salaries they cannot catch up due to inflation and due to missed time more than that millions of people suffer from that strike because economy now is interdependent it's intertwined like one body if previously still workers say 100 years ago could strike and nobody would suffer now it's impossible anymore
• 22:30 - 23:00 if a garbage collector strikes today the rest of the multi-million city is stinking i mean that there's no more service in quebec for example we had the electricians who were on strike in the middle of winter you can freeze your bottom and they still weren't strike did they catch up with the celery no they lost who benefited the leaders of trade union what is the motivation for strike
• 23:00 - 23:30 improving improving of a worker's condition no obviously it's not then what is it ideology to prove to these capitalists and the obedient horde of workers like sheep follow these people and they cannot disobey why because if they do you know what happens to them tickets murders shooting truck drivers by picketers in montreal for example i saw with my own eyes when i was
• 23:30 - 24:00 correspondent of cbc international canadian broadcasting calculation when the workers of aircraft factory destroyed computers and and the equipment in the factory and they the administration employed strike breakers their cars were turned upside down and burned their houses were burned their kids were intimidated and some victims were there of that you can be sure why to improve conditions of workers
• 24:00 - 24:30 no ideology okay so this is what happens basically it may or may not happen without the help of the soviet union but the natural tendencies are being greatly taken advantage of and capitalized by the soviet propaganda systems how whenever trade union strikes we have influx of propaganda mass media ideological dissemination the workers right and we repeat it like
• 24:30 - 25:00 parrots yes workers right who's right workers no the the only freedom of worker to sell his labor according to his own desire and will is taken away from him by whom by trade union boss unlimited power is given responsibility i want to sell my labor not for 250 an hour but for two dollars i don't have right my freedom is denied to me i know that if i sell my work for 200 for two dollars an hour
• 25:00 - 25:30 not for three dollars now i will compete better with the other guy who is lazy and more greedy i don't need two three dollars i need only two dollars no i was made to believe by media by business by advertising agencies that i need more and more and more have you ever heard any advertising on tv to consume less no no way whether you need a six cylinder car or not you have to buy it and hurry up
• 25:30 - 26:00 when i was driving here on the local radio station an excited announcer said you hurry up rush and save save save there is a plenty houses sale save by buying more of course of course it would be too naive to expect that kgb makes that advertising agency to do such a crazy commercial no of
• 26:00 - 26:30 course not but what we did when i was working for novelist ukraine we would snow plow editorial offices student organizations religious group with literature of class struggle may if if not directly marxism is propaganda then a propaganda of of a legitimate aspirations of working class betterment of life equality equality mind you president kennedy once said
• 26:30 - 27:00 people we will make america to believe that people are born equal are people born equal is there any mentioning in the bible or any other holy scripture in any religion any religion if you don't believe me go to library and check it there is not a single word about equality just the opposite by your deeds god will judge you what you do is important
• 27:00 - 27:30 the merit of your personality you cannot legislate equality if you want to be equal you have to be equal you have to deserve it and yet we build our society on the principle of equality we say people are equal we know it is false it's a lie some people are tall and stupid others are short bold and clever
• 27:30 - 28:00 if we make them [Laughter] if we make them equal by force if we put the principle of equality in the basis of our social political structure it's the same thing as building a house on sand
• 28:00 - 28:30 sooner or later it will collapse and that's exactly what happens and we as soviet propaganda makers are trying to push you in the direction which you go yourself equality yes equality people are equal land of equal opportunities is it true or not think about it equal opportunities should there be equal opportunities for me and for a lazy bastard who come here
• 28:30 - 29:00 from some other country and immediately registers as a welfare uh recipient benefits i never received a single no sorry i did this once but i never applied for welfare for the 13 years i took any job security guard journalist taxi driver anything well i was restless but some people don't like it they immediately so why should we be why should we have equal opportunities
• 29:00 - 29:30 why the equal opportunity to excel equal opportunity in equal circumstances yes but we know people are different to excel yes provided we reach the same level of excellency perfection which is hypothetical distant future yes maybe but we know perfectly well that even the best intentions people could not be equal why should we have equality in
• 29:30 - 30:00 in the say legal system myself i'm considering myself a law abiding citizen and the person who comes here to rob and shoot say the united states administration on the card imported thousands of cuban criminals they were non-criminals yet they were accepted do you think it's fair if myself and my wife from philippines who work like
• 30:00 - 30:30 excuse me horace as a lab technician in the hospital should have the same rights as a criminal film from cuba why and yet we repeat as parents equality equality equality and the soviet propaganda system helps us to believe that equality is something which is desirable democracy as it was established by fathers of this country of the system in the last century is is not equality
• 30:30 - 31:00 is the system where different people unequal people have a chance to survive and help each other in constant competition in constant perfection not inequality which is superimposed from from a godfather or a nice person in washington dc and the absolute equality exists in soviet union quote unquote equality everybody is
• 31:00 - 31:30 equally in dirt except some people are more equal than the others in politburo [Laughter] so the moment you you bring a country to the point of almost total demoralization when nothing works anymore when you are not sure that it is right or or wrong good and bad but there is no division between evil and good when even the leaders of church
• 31:30 - 32:00 sometimes say well violence for the sake of justice especially social justice is justified in the countries like nicaragua el salvador well maybe rhodesia and we listen to them and say yeah probably it's true is it true no it is not true violence is not justified especially for the sake of quote-unquote social justice introduced by marxist levines that is my former colleagues from noaa's depressed agency
• 32:00 - 32:30 okay so where is that point the next step is destabilization again this word says for itself what it is to destabilize all the relations all the accepted institutions and organizations in the country of your enemy how you do it you don't have to send up a battalion of kgb agents to blow up bridges no you let them do it themselves
• 32:30 - 33:00 the area of application is again it's it's narrower now not like the previous case the overt legitimate actions of the of the kgb in this case would be hardly noticeable there is no crime if a professor who recently went to ussr introduces a course of marxism leninism in a californian college for example nobody is going to to come to his doorstep and say okay mister come you're under arrest no it's
• 33:00 - 33:30 not a crime it's not even considered a moral crime against your country so the area of application here is narrowing down to economy again labor relations right to law and order plus military and the economy law and order yes and again the uh media but
• 33:30 - 34:00 uh wider scope little bit different i'll explain when okay basically three areas economy the radicalization of bargaining process if on that stage we still could achieve theoretically some positive compromise between the negotiating sides with with uh say our arbitrary
• 34:00 - 34:30 introduction of arbitrary judges third side objectively judging the demands of both sides here it's radicalization on this on the stage of destabilization we cannot come to compromise even within a family the husband and wife couldn't figure out which is better husband wants his kids to eat at the table and wife wants him a child to roam around the room and and drop food all over the floor they cannot come to compromise
• 34:30 - 35:00 unless they start a fight it's impossible to reach a compromise constructive compromise between neighbors some people say i don't like you to watering you alone at that time because exactly at that time i'm walking my dog and he's getting nervous he cannot pass his bowels you know so they cannot compromise they go to a a civil court or something like that radicalization of human relations no more compromise fight fight fight
• 35:00 - 35:30 the normal traditionally accepted relations are destabilized the relations between teachers and students in schools and colleges fight the the relations between in economical sphere between laborers and and employers are further radicalized no more acceptance of the legitimacy of demands of workers
• 35:30 - 36:00 unlike japanese with the theory if you ever heard about it where the workers are involved in decision-making process therefore they don't have uh moral incentive to to fight their uh their bosses in the united states is just the opposite the harder is the the fight the better the more heroic they look when the greyhound network was on strike recently the correspondence of local tv networks uh all over the united states were
• 36:00 - 36:30 approaching these strikers and they say oh yes we are doing something nice they look like heroes and they were proud there was some family the husband was a bus driver now they decided in in in the protest against the uh bosses to camp somewhere in the forest and they were presented to the to the audience as as a heroic nice people you see the violent clashes between
• 36:30 - 37:00 passengers ticketers and and the strikers are presented as something normal 10 15 20 years ago we would we would be we would be angry say why why why so much hatred today we are not we say well commonplace radicalization militarization sometimes as i explained on that stage i took a step a little bit further shooting people okay law and order now
• 37:00 - 37:30 also is uh pushed into the area where previously people settle their differences uh peacefully and legitimately now we are getting with this uh court cases in this smallest irrelevant cases we cannot solve our problems anymore the society at large becomes more and more antagonistic
• 37:30 - 38:00 between individuals between groups of individuals and the society at large the media puts himself in the opposition to the society in general at large separate alienated okay on that stage you remember i was talking uh a couple of hours ago about the sleepers that's when the students from say united states if they're trained in lumumba university
• 38:00 - 38:30 or developing nations that's the students i was dealing with are being sent back from the soviet union here or if they were already in the united states in the country which is the object of subversion they spring to action the sleepers go up they slept for 15 to 20 years now they become leaders of groups preachers uh
• 38:30 - 39:00 i don't know public public figures prominently they act in they actively include themselves in a political process all of a sudden we see a homosexual 15 years ago he did his dirty job and nobody cared now he makes it a political issue a political issue he demands recognition respect human rights and hiral is a large group of people and their violent clashes
• 39:00 - 39:30 between him and police his group and ordinary people no matter what it's black against white yellows again green doesn't matter where's the vision line goes as long as this group come into antagonistic clash sometimes militantly sometimes with firearms that is the stabilization process the sleepers many of whom are simply kgb agents become leaders of the process of this civilization
• 39:30 - 40:00 doesn't mean that comrade and drop off sends comrades off the united states the person who takes care is already here he's a respected citizen of united states sometimes he he gets money from various foundations for his legitimate struggle for i don't know human rights women rights kid lib prison lib whatever there are sympathetic americans who donate their money to him this to be like this stabilization
• 40:00 - 40:30 process usually leads directly to the process of crisis in case of developing nations there's the area where i i was active the process starts when when the legitimate bodies of power the social structure collapse it cannot function anymore
• 40:30 - 41:00 so instead we have artificial body injected into society such as non-elected committees you remember i was talking about them here social workers who are not elected by people media who sell who are self-appointed rulers of your opinion uh some strange groups uh which claim that they know how to lead society forward they don't usually all they care is how to collect the nations and
• 41:00 - 41:30 and from and sell their own concocted ideology mixture of religion and ideology here we have all this artificial body claiming power if the power is denied to them they take it by force in case of iran for example all of a sudden we have revolutionary communities who were what what kind of revolution there was no revolution yet and yet they had the committees they were taking power of
• 41:30 - 42:00 of judgement they had they had the power of execution they had the power of of legislation and that they had the power of judicial all of them combined in one person who is half-baked intellectual sometimes graduated from harvard university or berkeley he comes back to his country and he thinks that he knows the answer to all the social economical problems okay crisis is when society cannot
• 42:00 - 42:30 function any more productively it collapses obviously that's the word for crisis so therefore the population at large is looking for a savior the religious groups are expecting a messiah to come the workers say we have family to feed let's have a strong government maybe socialist government centralized when when somebody put put their employers on their place and let us work we are sick and tired of
• 42:30 - 43:00 going to strike and missing overtime and all that stuff we need some strong man strong government a leader a savior is needed population is sick and tired already and here we are we have a savior either a foreign nation comes in or the local group of leftists marxist no matter what they call themselves sandinista a reverend or some sort
• 43:00 - 43:30 bishop mozareva like in zimbabwe doesn't matter a savior comes and says i will lead you so we have two alternatives here civil war and invasion okay see how it goes civil war we know what it is lebanon is the best example
• 43:30 - 44:00 the civil war which was artificially implanted in lebanon by injection of force of plo palestinian liberation organization invasion we have in many other countries like afghanistan name any east european country it was invaded by the soviet army but the result is the same the next stage is normalization normalization
• 44:00 - 44:30 is a very ironic word of course it is bordered from 1968 situation in czechoslovakia when the soviet propaganda and after them new york times declared the country is normalized the tanks moved into prague so there is no more prague spring there is no more violence normal normalization at that stage the self-appointed rulers of the society
• 44:30 - 45:00 don't need any revolution anymore they don't need any radicalism anymore so this is the reverse from destabilization basically it is stabilizing the country by force so all these sleepers and activists and social workers and liberals and homosexuals and professors and marxists and letting us are being eliminated physically sometimes they've done their job already okay they
• 45:00 - 45:30 are not needed anymore the new rulers need stability to exploit the nation to exploit the country to take advantages of the victory okay so no more revolutionaries please and that's exactly what happens in number of countries you remember bangladesh this is the crisis in which i was instrumental first they had mujibur rahman in 1971 he was the leader of people's
• 45:30 - 46:00 party league with mustache like stalin he was in in russia many times in five years he was shot by his former colleagues marxists he fulfilled his function in afghanistan it happened three times because there was taraki then there was amin nowadays they killed each other successively one after another the moment he fulfills his duty the first one demoralized country the second distabilized the third one brought it to crisis
• 46:00 - 46:30 goodbye comrades carmilla comes from moscow and put him into the seat of power same thing happened in granada recently maurice bishop marxist was killed by austin what's his name general something it was also a marxism right so no more revolutions please normalization now from now on no more strikes no more homosexual sexuals no more women leave no more kidney
• 46:30 - 47:00 no more lib period good solid democratic proletarian freedom now to reverse this process takes enormous effort when today united states had to invade granada to reverse the process of subversion some people say boy this is not good it's not kosher to
• 47:00 - 47:30 invade the beautiful country island of granada well why didn't you stop the process here when granada was just approached by leftists why not to prevent maurice bishop to come in power in the first place did grenadas want him very questionable they didn't know who was mortis bishop in the first place he came to power by kudeta himself okay now we let the situation develop further and further and further until the crisis and normalization very soon
• 47:30 - 48:00 and then united states decided to invade country discovering that the country was absolutely a military base for the soviet union of course it's a drastic measure of course it's it's repeated that marine corps had to to lose what 17 lives very bad why not to stop the process before it comes to crisis or no intellectuals will not let you it's interference into domestic affairs they're very careful not to not not to
• 48:00 - 48:30 let american administration to interfere in domestic affairs of latin american characters they don't mind soviet union interfere in this affair so to reverse this process from here it takes only and always military force no other force on earth can reverse this process at this point at this point it does not take military invasion of united states army it takes strong action like in chile
• 48:30 - 49:00 as cia covert involvement to prevent the savior from outside to come into power and to stabilize country before it erupts into civil war country before it erupts into civil war okay support the right-wing conservative forces buy money by crooks so love doesn't matter stabilize and don't let the crisis develop into into civil war or invasion
• 49:00 - 49:30 oh no your liberals will say it's against the law the congress will not appropriate money for covert actions of cia why not should we wait till the normalization come and soviet tanks landed in in los angeles airport now at that point at the point of destabilization also the process could be reversed again easily than this no cia involvement at this point you know what it takes here
• 49:30 - 50:00 restriction of some liberties for small groups which are self-declared enemies of the society as simple as that oh no the median liberals will tell you this is against the american constitution how can we by force deny the civil rights to criminals for example it's not good okay so we allow them to okay if you allow the criminals to have
• 50:00 - 50:30 civil rights go on and bring the country to the crisis this is a bloodless way to do curb the rights i mean not to put them in prison no no i'm not talking about putting all the gates from san francisco in the concentration camp do not allow them to take political force do not elect them to the seats of power whether it is municipality state level or federal level it has to be bitten in the heads of american voters
• 50:30 - 51:00 that the person like that in the cities of power is an enemy do not be afraid of this word it is an enemy if he is not an enemy here he will be here later on he will be shot of course but at this point he is an enemy okay you are doing great service by denying him a right to capitalize on his own crazy ideas and
• 51:00 - 51:30 become a powerful man a man who uses the seat of power restriction of certain freedoms and permissiveness at that point would prevent sliding into crisis and probably will return the process of destabilization to curb unlimited power monopolistic power of trade unions here at that point would save economy from collapsing to introduce a law to stop
• 51:30 - 52:00 private companies of raping public opinions mind income in the in the direction of consumerism no company must have a right to force you into buying more unless you want it there must be a law you want to advertise your car okay but not a single mentioning of buying it now and saving
• 52:00 - 52:30 it money be against the law to force people to consume more self-restraint previously before this process started the self-restraint was the business of church religion because our preachers the fathers of church would tell us material values are good but it's not the prime function of human being because you have
• 52:30 - 53:00 to live with something obviously the design for our life is not to consume more deodorant there must be something greater if such a complicated instrument this human body was created obviously there must be some higher purpose for that and it's very easy to avoid destabilization by denying the greedy companies one little freedom one little liberty forcing you into
• 53:00 - 53:30 turning yourself into processors of unwanted products and goods they turn you into machines like a the worm who there is inlet and outlet so and how long an average appliance lasts these days less than a year why where's workmanship we want you to buy more okay this stabilization process
• 53:30 - 54:00 could be easily overcome if as i say the society by its own will or after persuasion by the leaders will come to the idea of self-restraint it's so hard we want to consume more but you have to unless you will come to this stage when as we say in russia if sahara desert ever becomes a communist state there will be shortage of sand
• 54:00 - 54:30 so you have to curb your [Laughter] you have to you have to curb your expectations at this point before it's too late but no we don't want to do it demoralization process again it's the easiest thing to reverse first of all by restricting import of propaganda the easiest thing to do unlimited unrestrained import of
• 54:30 - 55:00 soviet literature soviet journalists uh giving soviet propaganda and ideological agitators equal time on american tv network it has to be stopped and it's easy they won't they won't be offended minded as a matter of fact they will respect america more but then my former colleague vladimir posner appears on nightline and ted koppel asking well vladimir what
• 55:00 - 55:30 do you think about this what can he think he is an instrument of propaganda he thinks what what what comrade andropov tells him to think he is just a nice articulate mouthpiece of the soviet uh uh subversion system and ted cottle makes you believe that my friend vladimir posner thinks the process of demoralization may not
• 55:30 - 56:00 have started at all if at that point the country which is a recipient of subversion actively not violently but actively prevents importation of foreign ideology i don't want america to follow the pattern of ancient japan you don't have to shoot every foreigner when it approaches the sacred borders of the united states but when he offers you a junk in the
• 56:00 - 56:30 disguise of very shiny something we have to tell him no we have our own [Laughter] junk if at that point the society is strong brave and conscientious enough to stop importation of ideas which are foreign
• 56:30 - 57:00 then the whole chain of events could be prevented recently i've been to philippines and i was shocked how in big cities like manila children listen to deafening music a melodious nation with long traditions of good nice ethnic music introduced by spanish long time ago maybe two centuries three centuries ago i don't remember
• 57:00 - 57:30 all of a sudden listen to musical garbage blasting their radios at full blast at the full volume why in india i spent many years watching the reactions of indians walking out of movie theaters after seeing hollywood production they they couldn't figure out why americans are so wasteful they smash their cars
• 57:30 - 58:00 their shiny cars every five minutes how come they shoot each other for half a million dollars is it true that they are so sex sex i mean obsessed with sex can you imagine showing a movie where each five minutes there's a copulation on the screen to a country like india with long traditions tradition of of respect to this private matters or to pakistan
• 58:00 - 58:30 and united states expect these people to respect you no way oh yes they will see the movie they'll pay five rupees to see that garbage but they walk out and will tell their kids don't respect americans don't be like americans see so the process of demoralization could be stopped right here both as an expert and as an import
• 58:30 - 59:00 and that takes one step one very important thing to do you don't have to expel all the kgb agents from washington dc the most difficult and at the same time the simplest answer to the subversion is to start it here and even before by bringing back the society to religion something that you cannot touch and eat and put on yourself but
• 59:00 - 59:30 something that rules society and makes it move and preserve it a soviet scientist who has nothing to do with religion he is a computer scientist did a very intensive research on the history of socialist countries he called socialist or communist any country with a centralized economy and the pyramidal style of power structure and he discovered actually he didn't discover it he just
• 59:30 - 60:00 brought to attention of his readers that civilizations like mohan jodaro in the river hindus area like egypt like maya incas like below but the bologna culture collapsed and disappeared from the surface of earth the moment they lost religion as simple as that they disintegrated nobody remembers about them anymore well distantly so
• 60:00 - 60:30 the ideas are moving society and keeping mankind as a society of human beings intelligent moral agents of god the facts the truth the exact knowledge may not all the sophisticated technology and computers will not prevent society from disintegrating and eventually dying out
• 60:30 - 61:00 have you ever met a person who would sacrifice his life freedom for the truth like that this is truth i never met the person who said this is truth and i'm ready to shoot me to defend the truth right but millions sacrifice their life freedom comfort everything
• 61:00 - 61:30 for things like god like jesus christ it's an honor some markers in in the soviet concentration camp died and they died in peace unlike those who shouted longleaf stalin knowing perfectly well that he may not live long something which is something which is not material
• 61:30 - 62:00 moves society and helps it to survive and the other way around the moment we turn into two by two is four and make it a guiding principle of our life our existence we die even though this is true and this we cannot prove we only can feel and have faith in it so the answer to ideological subversion strangely enough is very simple you
• 62:00 - 62:30 don't have to shoot people you don't have to aim missiles and pershings and cruise missiles at androple's headquarters you simply have to have faith and prevent subversion in other words not to be a victim of subversion don't try to be a person who in judo is trying to smash your enemy and being caught by your hand
• 62:30 - 63:00 don't strike like that strike with power you have spirit and moral superiority if you don't have the power it's high time to develop it and that's the only answer that's it [Applause]
• 63:00 - 63:30 you
