Yuri Bezmenov: Deception Was My Job

Yuri Bezmenov was a professional Information Warrior employed by the Soviet Union who for years worked to destabilize and demoralize foreign societies. After deciding to defect he put his knowledge of subcultures to use and disguised himself as a hippie and slipped among the hippies in India and defected to the USA.
In these videos he lays out all the methods of information war that the Soviets employed against their enemies.
He goes into great detail of the success they had subverting Western Academia.
The telling thing about these videos is how so many of these tactics seem to be coming to fruition and we are facing a demoralized West that not only won't defend it's values but people won't even defend themselves from actual physical attacks.

Sort: ย 

These videos should be shown in every high school.

But, govern-cement schools would never show this, because it is the worst culprit when it comes to doing the things said here.

Too true!

nice add. I knew of this first video but never thought of sharing it.

In my discussion with @homerus he questioned my assertion that there were groups with enough power and the will to "seek the complete downfall of our societies" I was going to post this video in his comments with my reply but figured why not post. This of course is just one group.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures

Active measures (Russian: ะฐะบั‚ะธะฒะฝั‹ะต ะผะตั€ะพะฟั€ะธัั‚ะธั) is a Soviet term for the actions of political warfare conducted by the Soviet and Russian security services (Cheka, OGPU, NKVD, KGB, FSB) to influence the course of world events, in addition to collecting intelligence and producing "politically correct" assessment of it.[1] Active measures ranged "from media manipulations to special actions involving various degrees of violence". They were used both abroad and domestically. They included disinformation, propaganda, counterfeiting official documents, assassinations, and political repression, such as penetration into churches, and persecution of political dissidents.[1]

Active measures included the establishment and support of international front organizations (e.g. the World Peace Council); foreign communist, socialist and opposition parties; wars of national liberation in the Third World; and underground, revolutionary, insurgency, criminal, and terrorist groups.[1] The intelligence agencies of Eastern Bloc states also contributed to the program, providing operatives and intelligence for assassinations and other types of covert operations.[1]

I have collected a lot of source info on this, but haven't gotten around to reading it all, or incorporating it into my writing

I've been meaning to bring up the weathermen with you have you ever read Jared Israel's eyewitness account of their original actions?

no, but I do have a lot of source material on them, I'll look him up.

FWIW, I don't think they were controlled by Moscow...they wanted to be the komisars themsleves

I don't think they were controlled by moscow, I think they worked for the deep state from the start. Sounds like another profile is in order of jared israel.
what does FWIW mean?

fwiw = for what it's worth

these were the children of wealthy leftists, so there is overlap with the power structure...i dont hink at Deep State levels, and I need at some point to start looking at "evolution of the deep state" timeline models

By Deep State I really just mean Less visible parts of our system of governance, Cabals and whatnot.

when you get a chance, introduce yourself as a curator on the @informationwar account (dont use the newbie tage, tho ;>)

be ruthless in describing your biases

what I am planning on doing is a post on the account bias, so I'll do the same for myself, and then synthesize into an overall post

there is nothing wrong with having a bias, but we should be upfront about it!

My title will be "Noam Chomsky I'm the Rabid Anti-Communist you warned me about" although this has only been since a few months ago when I read Gulag Achipelago.

chomsky has been about the most devestating of subvervises there are; his "attcks" are not directed at power structures but at librty.

deconstructiionism is one hell of a propaganda tool ;>

I plan on doing some rebuttals of what he taught me.

Yuri is amazing at describing everything they did in detail.

There is a really good documentary on Netflix about how people were in their own little city that was for elites only and it was walled off in Russia. The family could onnly leave with escorts and they had spies follow them everywhere. Russia has so much crazy stuff they did and are still doing to control people and spy on them.
