Well, getting back to life inside the Soviet Union or inside communist countries in general in this country, at the university level primarily, we read and hear that the Soviet system is different from ours but not that different, and that there is a convergence developing between all of the systems of the world. Bezmenov was directed to slowly establish the Soviet sphere of influence in India. 15]. What the hell for should I defect? And, of course, subtle intimidations. Unlike in the United States, where civil defense is virtually nonexistent, zero, in USSR, every student, whatever is major subject, has to go through very extensive four-year military and civil defense training.

She would be shocked if I put her in my van and drove her to the American embassy or elsewhere. So I had a couple of good shotguns in my basement. He was famous because he was the author of the famous poem titled, Rapsody to Lenin. Thats why he was invited to USSR. I mustve been a very dangerous thing. The hard part was keeping the list down to ten. A former KGB agent named Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov claimed in 1984 that Russia has a long-term goal of ideologically subverting the U.S. Wouldnt they be the ones to rely on? This is not the kindergarten for the average person or average family in the USSR. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures or psychological warfare. It may look innocent. You can see myself under the red spot in the middle there with the same businesslike expression. It took me quite a long time to study exactly what they were doing and how to mix with them. he will refuse to believe it That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization. yuri bezmenov psychological warfare All all you have to do, all American mass media has to do, is to unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes, and they can see it. The next stage, of course, is crisis. Forget about these political prostitutes. Many, many former Marxists are in Cuba, I mean in prison. If you give them a machine gun, they will shoot. That is the tragedy of the situation of demoralization. But not before that. The Soviet people, 270 millions of Soviets, will be eternally thankful to you if you stop aiding a bunch of murderers who sit now in the Kremlin and whom President Reagan respectfully calls government. They do not govern anything, least of all such complexity as the Soviet economy. You remember most of these former MarxistLeninists were either put to prison or one of them split and now he is working against the Sandinistas. His most chilling point was that theres a long-term plan put in play by Russia to defeat America through psychological warfare and demoralization. Its a long game that takes decades to achieve but it may already be bearing fruit. 19]. It may last indefinitely. Well, the most vivid memory of my childhood was the Second World War. 31], a great spiritual leader, or maybe a great charlatan and crook, depending on which from which side you are looking at him. 11]. It may take only up to six weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis. They know nothing or next to nothing. Only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage and such. There is not a single explanation. There were no machine gun guards, and well, it looks not very pleasant as you see it. yuri bezmenov sargon of akkad Why that many years? In other words, they they they would consume quite large volumes of alcohol and feel quite uneasy the next morning. The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already. owen benjamin yuri bezmenov If we are talking about capitalists or wealthy businessmen, I think they are selling the rope on which they will hang very soon. This is a picture of my native town, Mytishchi, about 20 miles north from Moscow [Fig. Mr. Bezmenov has brought a series of slides with him that he has taken from the Soviet Union.

On the left is Comrade Medhi, an Indian Communist. A disturbing interview given by a KGB defector in 1984 describes America of today and outlines four stages of mass brainwashing used by the KGB. His defection was reported in the United States, with Soviet sources stating he was "not important" and did "clerical work", and American intelligence openly stating they believed him to be an agent of the KGB. But if someone from the party structure or the KGB structure were to give the orders for a military venture, they would follow them. Demoralization is a process that is irreversible. Bezmenov actually thought (back in 1984) that the process of demoralizing America was already completed. And hell tell us a little bit about how they did this and how they planted information which eventually wound up in the press of the free world. The United States is in the state of war undeclared, total war against the basic principles and the foundations of this system. And the initiator of this war is not Comrade Andropov, of course. Its simplistic. This time the subverter does not care about your ideas and the patterns of your consumption. He was the son of a high-ranking Soviet army officer. Another thing which I had to sometimes risk my life to explain to foreigners. yuri bezmenov audio Its a great brainwashing process which goes very slow, and its divided into four basic stages, the first one being demoralization. And after crisis, with a violent change of power, structure, and economy, you have the so-called period of normalization. Most of the of the guests there, they had security clearance and they were instructed what to say to foreigners. And the gun control is not yet established in Canada. Yuri Bezmenov's appearance in the Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War trailer is taken from this 1984 interview between G. Edward Griffin and Bezmenov: In that interview, Bezmenov downplays the . Mr. Bezmenov was born in 1939 in a suburb of Moscow. Obviously a VIP, say a wife of a congressman or or a prominent Hollywood personality, after after being trained at that school is much more instrumental in the hands of manipulators of public opinion and KGB than a normal person who understands, who looks through this type of fake religious training. There were thousands of young American boys and girls with no shoes, long hair, smoking hash and marijuana, studying sometimes Indian philosophy, sometimes simply pretending that they studied. They let me go first to Germany, then to Canada. I am on the right here on the right. This is how a typical conference in Novosti headquarters in Moscow looks [Fig. And on the left is my schoolmate Vadim Smirnov, who later was an apparatchik in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union Communist Party. Just sit down, look at your navel and meditate. So I would say that those intellectuals who try to convince the American public that the concentration camp system is a thing of the past are either [00:09:15]conscientiously [0.0s] misleading public opinion, or they are not very intellectual people. Lecture by Yuri Bezmenov Transcriber's Notes Ideological Subversion Lecture on YouTube Transcript Subversion is the term if you look in a dictionary, or criminal codes to that matter usually is explained as a part of activity to destroy things like the religion, government system, political economical system of a country. My main motivations to defect had nothing to do with affluence. That my country brings to India not freedom, progress, and friendship between the nations, but racism, exploitation, and slavery and, of course, economical inefficiency to this country. There is not much time left for convulsions and sexual masturbation to the beautiful disco music. In an interview with G. Edward Griffin in 1984, former KGB informant Yuri Bezmenov had exposed the insidious operations of the Soviet Union and how the Communist apparatus viciously overtakes the conscience of a country. However, it was reported by them at the time that he had not bought his ticket, and told them he would join them in a moment and try to purchase one from a scalper outside the theater. To defect with the baby and the wife [Fig. 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. Mr. Bezmenov was a Soviet informant and KGB operative who defected to the United States in the early 70s. By these means, he escaped to Athens, Greece. [2], During that period, increasingly seeing the Soviet system as insidious and ruthless, Bezmenov began careful planning to defect to the West. So they they tried a different approach. When the Soviet tanks moved into Czechoslovakia in 68, Comrade Brezhnev said, Now the situation in brotherly Czechoslovakia is normalized. This is what will happen in the United States if you allow all these schmucks to bring the country to crisis, to promise people all kinds of goodies and the paradise on Earth, to destabilize your economy, to eliminate the principle of free market competition, and to put a Big Brother government in Washington, D.C., with benevolent dictators like Walter Mondale who will promise lots of things. This picture shows the part of the building of USSR embassy and my supervisors [Fig. And American CIA could never figure out how could possibly communists know each individual, where he lives, where to get him, and would be arrested in one night. yuri bezmenov on india My father was he is on the left here [Fig. Edward Kennedy was in Moscow and he thought that he is a popular, charismatic American politician who is easygoing, who can smile, dance at the wedding in Russian Palace of Marriages [Fig. Former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov exposes the four stages of a Communist takeover of a country in rare 1984 interview. In addition to languages, he studied history, literature, and music, and became an expert on Indian culture. Nothing could be further from the truth. Its a fashion to meditate, its a fashion not to be involved. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi [Fig. This is the picture taken at the entrance of my Institute of Oriental Languages [Fig. These were not opinions. 21]. [8] Instead, Bezmenov put on hippie clothes, complete with a beard and wig, before joining a tour group. I started counterculture in India. Were he alive today, most likely he would be inspecting Soviet troops in Nicaragua, Angola, and many other parts of the world. Bezmenov made the point that the work of the KGB mainly does not involve espionage, despite what our popular culture may tell us. And I settled in Canada. I socialized with characters like this, on the left you see is a barefoot American hippie [Fig. I know that the most dangerous part of the Soviet power structures are not military at all. Thats why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: Never bother with leftists. Educate yourself, understand what is going on around you. Well, the immediate thing that comes to my mind is, of course, there must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of real patriotism, number one. Obviously, its more beneficial for the Soviet aggressors to have a bunch of duped Americans than Americans who are self-conscious, healthy, physically fit, and alert to reality. As I described, they approached on the highest level: on the level of Canadian bureaucracy. And Indian government pretended not to see what was going on. Second, most of these schmucks were afraid to lose their jobs because obviously, if you tell truth about my country, you will not last long as a correspondent of the New York Times or Los Angeles Times. The facts tell nothing to him. His father was a high ranking Soviet Army officer, later put in charge of inspecting Soviet troops in foreign countries, such as Mongolia and Cuba. And it was very shocking because all newspapers were trying to present an image of belligerent, aggressive American imperialism. You can see it with your own eyes. Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov (Russian: ; December 11, 1939 January 5, 1993; alias: Tomas David Schuman[1]) was a Soviet journalist for Novosti Press Agency (APN) and a former PGU KGB informant who defected to Canada. Yuri Bezmenov was a Soviet journalist co-opted and trained by the KGB when he defected to the West in 1970. Most of the work, 85% of it, was a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare.. There are hundreds of those gurus who come to your country to capitalize on the naivete and stupidity of Americans. Studying the display of personal wealth across time can help us better understand the history of socioeconomic inequality. He thinks hes very smart. They have to obey, yes, because they are professional military. But they were looking for the wrong person because they obviously tried to stop young Soviet diplomat in a white shirt and tie. And still, I got no message. It was a very interesting experience, but it was necessary because from my own knowledge as a member of Soviet embassy staff, I knew that there were many cases when Soviet defectors were betrayed by Indian police and also some Western embassies played a very dirty role in betraying the Soviet defectors. What do they mean it? They will go back home and write the reports: We were present at a regular Soviet wedding. They were not present at a regular Soviet wedding. He may not be promoted too high, but hes a dependable bureaucrat who will stay forever. When an agent likes a country of assignment more than his own country. However, not for long. There is a great possibility that the system will sooner or later will be destroyed from within. He claimed to know details of a Soviet plan to undermine the U.S., not on the battlefield but in the psyche of the American public. 24]. I changed many professions from farm help and laundry truck driver to language instructor and broadcaster for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Montreal. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. yuri bezmenov atlanta yuri bezmenov deception was my job transcript 27]. In 1984, Bezmenov gave an interview to G. Edward Griffin from which much can be learned today. OK. You can see me here in Kremlin Im second on the left with a group of Pakistani and Indian intellectuals [Fig. I started to talk. Obviously, they are enjoying the situation. 17]. Even about Antarctica I bet you would read penguins. Three, crisis. And of course, what they didnt understand they didnt realize it pretended not to realize that myself who was drinking together with them was not drinking at all. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fan-bottom. Thats why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond-type of thrillers. That was my decision. Most of the American politicians, media, and educational system train another generation of people who think they are leaving in peace time. Mr. Bezmenov, weve read a lot about the concentration camps and the slave labor camps under the Stalin regime. Very soon it will go, just overnight. And since he was drunk and curious, he opened one of the boxes and he discovered not printed matter. The History of Sci Fi - H.G. Unless you want to live in Antarctica with penguins. It took me quite a number of years to realize that what we were bringing to India was a new type of colonialism, a thousand times more oppressive and exploitative than any colonialism or imperialism in the history of mankind. And even if you start right now, here, this minute, you start educating a new generation of Americans. yuri bezmenov deception was my job (complete) The Beatles were trained at his ashram in Haridwar in India how to meditate. So I had to be extremely careful. The immediate impulse to defect was the Bangladesh crisis, which was described by American correspondents as an Islamic grassroots revolution, which is absolute baloney. After several months, Bezmenov claimed he was forced to act as an informer[3] while maintaining his position as a Novosti journalist. Most of the Mukti Fauj leaders Mukti Fauj in Bengali means Peoples Army, same as SWAPO and all kinds of liberation armies all over the world, the same bunch of useful idiots they were trained that Lumumba University and various centers of the KGB in Simferopol, in Crimea, and in Tashkent.
