From Wikipedia.org:
Bezmenov became a deputy chief of that department, which gathered intelligence from sources like Indian informers and agents, on influential or politically significant citizens of India.
Those politicians who favoured Soviet expansionist policy into India were promoted to higher positions of power, affluence, and prestige through various KGB/Novosti operations. Those who refused to cooperate with Soviet plans were the target of character assassination in the media and press.[citation needed]
Bezmenov stated that he was also instructed not to waste time with idealistic leftists, as these would become disillusioned, bitter, and adversarial when they realized the true nature of Soviet Communism. To his surprise, he discovered that many such were listed for execution once the Soviets achieved control. Instead, Bezmenov was encouraged to recruit from large circulation, established conservative media, rich filmmakers, intellectuals in academic circles, and cynical, egocentric people who lacked moral principles.
Yuri describes in great detail exactly what is happening in the US right now. A Democratic politician will not get positive press coverage unless they tow the line of the Radical Leftist agenda. Communism and Socialism are socially acceptable now. Look at Bernie Sander’s popularity and AOC’s nearly constant press coverage. AOC also was placed in powerful House sub-committees. Pelosi did not place or allow AOC to be placed in these House Committees for her looks, expertise, or intelligence. AOC was placed for political reason to benefit a entity that has a well defined agenda.
Paraphrasing Yuri Bezmenov, once the United States falls, the is no other place worth defecting to.
I suspect some of the Leftist posters in ET’s political forum are directly or indirectly furthering the Russian agenda. These posters will not answer questions along the lines of what they like about the United States. They will also continue with their arguments even after they have been thoroughly refuted. One such poster in particular displayed a YouTube video of Putin’s life and seemed reverent to it. I remember taking a picture of that post with my iphone for future reference. If anyone cares, I will look for it out of thousands of stored photos.
There should be a requirement for all public servants, including politicians, as a part of an ongoing position qualification process, to publicly renounce Communism, Socialism, and Putin. We also should not do business with those who are anti-American, anti-Capitalistic, or who constantly promotes dissension.
The United States and the freedom of its citizens may be just one President away from falling.
