Do you think the subversion we are dealing with is 1) a zombie subversion program that was started by--but outlived--the Soviet commies; 2) a subversion by outside commies like the CCP; 3) an organic homegrown subversion program by domestic commie types; or 4) some combo?

Another great question that I will elaborate further upon in a podcast. My approximatation:

1) Soviet was predominant from post-WWII to the fall of the Berlin Wall. 2) CCP took over from the Soviets, but ramped up over the past decade with woke and Tiktok. 3) Homegrown was seeded by the Soviets and now that Summer of Love Boomer generation has completed its long march through the institutions. They have groomed Millennials and Zoomers to become even more extreme versions of themselves with help from TikTok.

Ok, and how does this relate to the zio Israeli, chabad, freemason NATO USA EU etc kind of covert warfare like false flag terrorism and "astroturfed" social movements for division, self-sabotage or for regime change etc. ...and weaponised mass immigration, ...and the sex trafficking elite/celebrity honey trap blackmail by Israel and the global injection campaign (by usa israel china?)? Its a madhouse.

So many covert warfare methods from apparently separate/related groups all attacking western countries and 5 eyes in particular.

Well the subversion seems to benefit or complement the zionist/globalist covert warfare as if they were one and the same or useful temporary allies with CCP.

Another great work on this topic is the Progressive Era by Murray Rothbard. One really has to engage in the history of ideas to see that the corruption in the West goes back...quite a way. It's not just 'Soviet infiltration.' If it were, then even that would need to explain why people were so susceptible in the first place.

And of course, corruption is always there in any milieu, but healthy societies that do a more consistent job of ordering themselves around the natural law--and historically Christian piety, humility and obligation--can keep corruption of ideas at bay.

If you had to guess the state of our culture in 5 years, what would you say? For example, will speech be more or less policed than it is today? Will the culture war have gotten hotter or cooled off?

Great question. Will have to elaborate more on this in a podcast. Short answer is that I see further bifurcation where we essentially have two parallel countries, economies, cultures, etc. It may cool down because people will continue in a great migration to places that are values aligned, so there will be less clashing due to proximity.

From your lips to God's ears, and I couldn't agree more. Trying to be reasonable in my optimism, the recommended way forward and my prediction as to what people will ultimately do is to separate themselves into different states/blocs. This is why I have long advocated secession of free states as the only proper and realistic answer to federal tyranny. We just need to get conservatives to understand that all they are conserving at this point is old pro-union propaganda that introduced corruption into their ideas and allegiances in the first place.

Some days, secession of the free states sounds so attractive. But, I think it would disastrous. The CCP would immediately take control of the remaining Marxist states--most likely invited in by the brain dead progs. Hot war ensues.

Yuri is a legend. He predicted everything we are seeing now in 1984. The way he outlined the science behind ideological subversion - demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization still sends shivers down my spine. I first saw his hour-long lecture on YouTube ~5 years ago and it stuck with me. Joe Rogan and other prominent commentators mention his name often. He is also the perfect pseudonym because everyone who has heard of Yuri understands the topics I write about.

Here is my post honoring the 30th anniversary of his death with his most poignant lessons: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-reason-with-a-demoralized

I saw the Yuri interview many years ago (15+), on YouTube of all places. IDK if you could find it there now.

Anyway I shared it with as many people as possible back then. Many years later, it was part of a Call of Duty video game trailer. I had a lot of people come to me and say, "You've got to see this, part of that Russian guy's interview is in a video game trailer!"

Yuri flat out told exactly what is happening, why it is happening, and what will come to pass as a result. None of it good, mind you, but all of it accurate.

One of my favorite Yuri quotes is about "grassroots movements."

"It's not grass roots. It's not what most people want. Most people are completely sick & tired by it.

"No political movement is grass roots. Every one is the product of a highly organized & well-funded group of political activists." - Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov aka Tomas Schuman, Soviet journalist, KGB informant, Dissident, interviewed by G. Edward Griffin, 1984

I should add, it was cool because people actually watched the interview, and remembered it from many years back.

It gave me a little hope.

Of course you can find it on YouTube.

Thank you. Unfortunately YB was not saying this out of deep philosophical insight. He was simply describing the KGB plan that he had been instructed to implement (in India) and out of disgust for which he fled. So if his "predictions" have come true it only means that the KGB's plan worked even if they aren't around (as an organization) to experience the fruits of their labors nor capitalize (hah!) on them.

Sadly, I believe that the ChiComs DID take over KGB's plan and that what we are seeing is the hand of the CCP.

A man he was. With experience, understanding and courage to take the responsibility of saying what he knew to be true. A favorite on my device the 1983 lecture on “subversion”.

Did you know T-Mobile is a huge part of the ideological subversion in America?

T-Mobile is a German company that promotes A LOT of DEI and ESG. They will pay 2x more for gender reassignment surgery than for In vitro and they’re one of the most woke companies in America

T-Mobile has A LOT of leaders with ties to the World Economic Forum.

T-Mobile helped the WHO and EU create their vaccine passport systems, and they have a social credit score system ready to go.

T-Mobile violated my American rights by discriminating against me for being unvaccinated. I’m 39 years old and was just laid off by T-Mobile after 17 years of employment.

Thank you! I’m better because I’m free from being a slave for T-Mobile, but they got my X account shut down when I was launching my journalism business. I exposed too much too quickly, but I thought I’d have free speech on X. Lesson learned.

Wow that's a profound one. Will expand upon it in a podcast. Nothing but positive for my life, it's made me a better human, husband, father, friend, son. The biggest difference is that I have much more inner peace and don't get caught up in the chaos out of my control.

Another answer for the podcast. Such a complex subject. One of the worst effects of demoralization is the decline of family formation.

Most people wouldn’t like the answer. You would completely have to change American dating. Basically, men and women would both have to exercise a level of restraint (in general, not just in relationships) that none of us is used to.

Hi Yuri! If you had to compare Joe Biden to a classic Soviet leader, who would you pick and why? Curtis Yarvin compared Biden to Brezhnev before he took office. It would seem to me that Brezhnev was much more competent and at least pretended to care about your average Soviet. Joe Biden seems to be a complete non-actor, non-thinking construct who's there to read a script off a teleprompter. Perhaps he's closer to a Yeltsin. What do you think? Thanks!

I don't know Soviet history well enough, but agree with your assessment. Definitely has the senility of Yeltsin and head of state at a time of its decline. I refer to him as Uncle Joe Brandon to mock the propaganda and farcical bootlicking of his dwindling supporters.

There is a documentary on the Soviet leaders Brezhnev to Gorbachev that I found fascinating. (Wish I could remember where or the title!)

Anyway, Andropov and Chernenko were short term Premiers. One of them, Chernenko I think was so senile they staged everything for him. Put papers in his hands, propped him up at conference tables for photo ops etc. Biden is that guy! A near perfect parallel and among the many reasons we know we live under a regime.

In your professional life or workplace, how many are aware of your journalistic activities, and perhaps your broader views on public controversies? I would assume that circle is small, and that like many of us you might need to exercise much discretion. But curious where on the line you may fall.

I paid a heavy price for expressing my views on my previous employer's BOOSTER mandate. That's one of the reasons why I'm trying to earn income on Substack. I believe all politics should stay out of the workplace, especially DIE and ESG, but the jab was a special case of bodily autonomy. Outside of the workplace, I'm quite vocal and around ~40 readers know who I am IRL. I have made my peace with getting doxxed and hope this gets big enough where I don't have to care or rely on a paycheck again. Appreciate your support!

In "my" workplace (big time Sugar Baby of WEF, for their Plandemic planning & aggressive fascist work the Overseer moved to #1 on the Globalist list) a new letter was added (new to me) 'B' for Belonging. Isn't that what the first letters supposedly represent? Guess they think their masses need everything s p e l l e d out. I was doxxed on the Tird by a rabid open borders "investigative journalist" that lied. But the Tird suspended me before I could reply with proof of my words. At about 1am "it" was able to immediately & publicly contact employer who jumped right on it, and Tird and it suspended me.

Yuri, from my prospective, the destabilization is mostly complete.

Every government agency is captured and dictating policies to enact their end goals. The department of education is spitting out young little Leninists who are regurgitating their divisive talking points and policies.

Same push factor as many defectors. He was disillusioned with the Soviet system. While stationed in India, he made an escape. While he settled in Canada and became a Canadian citizen, he loved America most. Back in the 70s, there was much more of a pull factor to come to the West as there is now. He would marvel at how everything he predicted became true in America.
