    Some key quotes:

    “What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.”

    “Bezmenov described this process as “a great brainwashing” that has four basic stages. The first stage is called “demoralization” which takes from 15 to 20 years to achieve…minimum number of years it takes to re-educate one generation of students that is normally exposed to the ideology of its country — in other words, the time it takes to change what the people are thinking.”

    “As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore,” said Bezmenov. “A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him…show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he receives a kick in his fan-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that."

    “Once demoralization is completed, the second stage of ideological brainwashing is “destabilization”. During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (Russia) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it.”

    “The third stage would be “crisis.” It would take only up to six weeks to send a country into crisis, explained Bezmenov. The crisis would bring “a violent change of power, structure, and economy” and will be followed by the last stage, “normalization.” That’s when your country is basically taken over, living under a new ideology and reality.”

    This is naive. Russia has been waging psychological warfare on us for literally decades. They are open about this. They’ve written books about it. It is LITERALLY Russian military doctrine.

    I am NOT advocating for marching on Moscow. But to ignore the psychological warfare that was amplified by, yes willing conspirators which does indicate we DO have a root problem here too, is to ignore the circumstances that brought us here.

    We are only here because of the combination of old-school crazies in the Heritage Foundation controlling Fox News/trad. media and our 4chan billionaires pushing all sorts of propaganda from the depths of the internet & 4chan, which is pretty much all Russian/chinese/iranian propaganda aimed at destabilizing trust within the west.

    Sure people are stupid and like conspiracies — but the conspiracy sphere is EXACTLY a target of Russian propaganda because the user base already distrusts the government and they’re a user base that’s willing to push their beliefs onto others if you can convince them… see QANON. Qanon has deep ties to both Russia AND to the tech bros, namely Thiel and Musk.

    This is only possible because of the MARRIAGE OF THESE IDEAS. They are equally to blame. We are at war with Russia as much as we are at war with our own traitorous billionaires.

    Yes, I know - but the revolution is happening because people are angry and they believe the system is broken.

    I’m all for a short return to normalcy if actual change follows.

    If actual change does not follow, I promise you we will be right back in this position before you know it.

    I completely agree that what’s coming is worse. But if you don’t have a plan, the ensuing chaos is EXACTLY what Silicon Valley is hoping for so they can grab power. They have said it out loud.

    No one said that. As the others pointed out, I’m saying have a plan.

    The go-to example is the French Revolution. There was no plan for after they eliminated the “bad guys,” and they ended up executing mostly non-rich folk. Saw a stat elsewhere that it may have been as few as 20% of victims were the rich.

    Do we really want 80% of the people hurt by a revolution to be the common folk? If that’s what you wanted you might as well stick with the current status quo. You’re getting it.

    I’m not going to argue further with you as the others have already done so well enough. I am only saying: have a plan, or things very well could go even worse

    The top couple comments of this Reddit post explain just how deeply imbedded Russia is with Trump. He’s literally been laundering money for them since the 80s

    Trump was close friends with pedo Epstein. He may have stolen the first election with the help of Paul Manafort, who we put in federal prison

    I cannot say with 100% certainty… but I think it goes just a little beyond respect with Russia. I agree with your assessment for other countries - we know he’s put tariffs on China for example but I think conversations between himself and Xi would work as you do

    I know many that share how you feel. Someone in real life was literally just explaining a similar sentiment to me. I completely disagree. Everything has been designed to screw Ukraine and empower Russia. He claimed he would be the “toughest ever” on Russia, but he’d rather concede Ukraine and watch the entirety of Europe begin to rearm for war with Russia - per Emmanuel Macron

    I have already made other comments about “The Foundations of Geopolitics,” which calls for the UK to leave EU, for Russia to annex Ukraine, and for Russia to cause instability in Canada and the USA to pull away from “globalism” (notice Trump’s claim that it was globalists behind stock market issues? 100% straight Kremlin propaganda)

    Here’s are the quotes from the Wiki

    "The United Kingdom merely described as an “extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.”, should be cut off from the European Union

    Ukraine (except Western Ukraine) should be annexed by Russia

    Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal GLOBALIST Western hegemony"

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

    Here’s a quote from this Washington Spectator article

    ‘Between 2005 and 2010, a set of books called “Project Russia was distributed to high-ranking officials in the Russian government and other influential thought leaders. The books offered a detailed program of spiritual warfare against Western democracies culminating in “controlled global collapse"’

    We are at war with Russia. They have worked to infiltrate and destroy us from within. They told us in the 90s they would dismantle us without firing a shot – what better way than to corrupt our very system and even install a compromised president? The sooner everyone in the West accepts that the Cold War never ended and we are still at war with Russia to this very moment, the sooner we can rip out this infection

    What’s worse is the billionaires playing along with this like Musk, Thiel, Andersson, and so on, that are pushing AI as a semi-religion behind the scenes and are happy to do Russia’s bidding as it aligns with their dreams of collapsing the US and creating their own, billionaire run countries. Along side the religious right, there’s essentially 3 temporarily aligned factions completely dismantling our government for different purposes - but all backed and aided by Russia

    Everything is against us. People must see and think clearly
