“Once a population has been #demoralized, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true #information.” —Ex-KGB Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov on the four stages of transforming the thinking and behavior of a population, over generations.
Yuri was trained to be a #subversive agent for the #KGB in the 60s. He carried out his duties by working as a journalist in India (#AndersonCooper, anyone?).
He grew disgusted with the #SovietUnion and fled in the 70s to the West and became a top expert in Soviet #propaganda and #ideological subversion.
In 1985, he did an interview in which he outlined the 4 stages of #brainwashing an entire nation.
Some excerpts from this interview:
The main activities of KGB was not on #espionage. 85% of efforts was spent on #psychologicalwarfare: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, and their country.
First stage is #demoralization: #Marxist/Leninist ideology is being pumped into the education of Americans via professors and #civilrights leaders.
