Former Soviet KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov, who defected from the Soviet Union in 1970, was interviewed in 1984 about Soviet infiltration methods. Bezmenov said that by 1970 the Soviet Union already had infiltrated the US through brainwashing left-leaning people in the news media, entertainment, politics, business, education, and religion. He said the Soviet Union used a brainwashing strategy called ideological subversion designed to change the perception of reality of every American so “no one is able to come to sensible conclusions” to defend themselves, their families, or their country. Sadly, Bezmenov was prophetic as many socialists, now called progressives, hold key positions in American society.

Bezmenov said there are four stages of ideological subversion:

The first stage, demoralization, which takes 15-30 years according to Bezmenov, was completed before 1985.

The second stage, also completed, is destabilization. This is where people destabilize the entire nation through actions that are counter to common sense and sound practices.

The third stage is creating crisis.

And the fourth stage is normalization. Bezmenov said that the leftists that help create these stages are the first to be executed by a communist dictatorship because once they find out they have perpetrated a lie, they become the most ardent opposition. Those who stand against communism by warning others are also executed.

Bezmenov said that the Soviets used brainwashed leftists to teach Marxism-Leninism ideology to several generations of American students. He said that these teachings included:

• feminism
• sexual liberation
• hedonism
• anti-war sentiments
• liberation theology
• and globalism

He said these students are now the people who are the business, religious, political, educational, media, and entertainment leaders of American society. He said, “You are stuck with them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli… You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information… the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible.”

To reverse this process, Bezmenov said writing letters will not work. He said:

“There must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of real patriotism, number one. Number two, to explain to them the real danger of socialist, communist, welfare state, big brother government… The moment at least part of the United States population is convinced that the danger is real, they have to force their government…to stop aiding communism.”

I will add another way to reverse the process:

Mark 16:15, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”

And Ephesians 6:20, “…that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”

Christian Americans must see clearly and act decisively.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Breitbart  vs Google

There is so much information available to us every day that it is increasingly difficult to discern the truth. The big high-tech firms are manipulating the news that you see and what you learn from your search results. Politicians, like always, twist the facts to their benefit. Propaganda is probably at an all-time high. So how do you discern the truth? How do you make decisions in your life based on good information? What guides you?

These are questions that are becoming increasingly important, because deception is free and enticing while truth is expensive and fleeting. Fact of the matter is that we are living in an information age where free speech is so abused that lies affect who we are and what we do.

Breitbart News turned up an internal communication at Google admitting that there are huge teams in the organization working to censure information they deem is not appropriate for the public.

Breitbart reports:

“The comments came to light in a leaked internal discussion thread, started by a Google employee who noticed that the company had recently changed search results for “abortion” on its YouTube video platform, a change which caused pro-life videos to largely disappear from the top ten results. In addition to the “manual approach,” [Daniel] Aaronson (Google’s “trust and safety” team) explained that Google also trained automated “classifiers” – algorithms or “scalable solutions” that correct “problems” in search results.“

This was just one example. The communication, according to Breitbart, also showed interventions on “search results related to progressive activist David Hogg and Democrat politician Maxine Waters.” A Google spokeswoman, however, insisted to Breitbart that “Google has never manipulated or modified the search results or content in any of its products to promote a particular political ideology.” Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai emphatically testified to Congress that there was no manipulation by Google, but the internal communication “took issue with Pichai’s remarks, stating that it “seems like we are pretty eager to cater our search results to the social and political agenda of left-wing journalists.”

People are influenced by what they read, hear and see. Decisions are made. Beliefs are developed. Powers are using the information superhighway to manipulate politics, shape values, and control decisions. The scale of this manipulation is historic because never before have people been so connected with so few companies controlling the information.

So how do you discern the truth?

As Christ said in John 16:13, “But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.”

Know your values and weigh everything against them. If it doesn’t align, it is likely not true. That inner voice of the Holy Spirit guides us if we so allow it. In society the scales of truth are compromised; but, in the Holy Spirit, truth is pure.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
