WHY I Write "How To Subvert Subversion" + How To Reason with a Demoralized Person
Kicking off 2024 by honoring the real Yuri and sharing the reasons why I started this Substack, plus a note on audience capture and a new Pokemon theme song
Comrades: Happy New Year!
Yuri Bezmenov passed away 31 years ago and gave his famous speech about subversion 40 years ago. If he were alive today, he would marvel that everything he predicted in 1984 came true. He tried to warn us. All honor to his name.
Here is a compilation of his most legendary quotes:
Today is also my second anniversary on Substack. All of my posts started with “How To” except for this one. Here are the reasons why I picked up a pen and started writing as Yuri on Substack:
***As this samizdat’s brilliant audience continues to grow, so does my responsibility to truth and authenticity. I will take proactive measures to avoid audience capture. If you find anything I write to be factually incorrect or a net negative for civil society, please let me know and explain your reasoning. I value open discourse, integrity, and challenging each other so that we are able to change our minds when presented with new facts or opinions.
As an example, hat tip to
for pointing out a minor error in my Harvard Corporation piece:“Yuri, I passed your excellent piece to a few alums. We all appreciate your insights. Someone pointed out that Ackman knows Tracy, as well. The minor quibbles are that Diana is a billionaire in her own right and Buckley's quote references the Boston phone book, not Manhattan's. But perhaps he said it more than once in different ways. Thank you for writing this. The pressure has to stay on the University until everyone responsible for this fiasco has been escorted from the Yard.”
What topics would you like to see me go deeper on in 2024? Sound off in the comments!
And don’t worry, there will still be plenty of spicy memes and commentary:
For all my fellow Pokemon nerds out there, enjoy the new Yuri theme song:
I wanna be so very based
Like no one ever was
To meme them is my real test
To mock them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach subversion to understand
The power that's inside
Subversion!
Gotta catch 'em all
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Bezmenov!
Oh, you're my best fren
In a world we must defend
Subversion!
Gotta catch 'em all
A poast so true
Our courage will pull us through
You read me and I'll read you
Subversion!
Gotta catch 'em all
Bumping Trump off state ballots with no due process needs more attention. Dems are going Full Banana republic on this one. Must destroy democracy to save it.
So does J6 show trials. There is more work to be done than just that of Julie Kelly. The solitary imprisonment of non violent Trump supporters with otherwise clean records is a travesty.
Emerging consensus of 17 million dead from the Covid jab. This should be the bombshell story of the year, exposing the thick corruption poisoning our health policy. The virus was created in a lab, escaped, killed millions primarily through wrong treatment, prompted horrible policy responses, and a ‘vaccine’ with a negative efficacy that is also much more deadly than the disease. And the coverup continues.
And stay on Claudine Gay, the poster child for DEI corruption. Of course she plagiarized. Of course Harvard will deny without investigation. She was selected based on ideological narrative conformity, which is absolutely antithetical to scholarship.
Lot to cover this year.
I'm so glad I found this Substack as soon as I joined. As an interesting coincidence, I also wrote my first article on the subject (not counting my introduction) titled "Propaganda and Subversion, Part 1: Deception" on the 5th of January, 2023 as well. I'll be kicking off the new year with some white pills on Thursday before I resume my usual mockery of the blue pill narratives. With any luck, maybe I'll get some of my libertarian friends from Hive (the same Hive that @FrancesLeader came from) to join us.
