More like Normalization, thus Bezmenov had put another sense into it. Let’s call it Rationalization.

Maybe you're right, what I was thinking though was the portion where he talks about making it impossible for them to people to be able to process truth/reality -- the truth is:

There are an estimated 270 million total guns in the US's civilian population, an average of 89 firearms for every 100 residents -- that average is rather a useless metric because many gun owners own multiple guns -- Ted Nugent would skew the average of his city all by himself.

So we have to jump off a little bit, let's assume there's 10% of the population armed (that's ~30 Million), now let's say that only half of that will have any will to resist (~15 million) -- there are 675,734 Law Enforcement officers [source, add in the full force of the US Armed forces 1,429,995 [wikipedia] and we have 15,000,000 : 2,105,729 or approximately 15:2 odds.

Now that makes some admittedly bad assumptions -- (1) that more population wouldn't get involved when personal losses hit, (2) that all Law Enforcement Officers would comply, and (3) that all the Armed Forces would comply. If we assume a 50/50 split that becomes a 16:1 odds against the government.

So, given such hugely lopsided odds it certainly is possible to do something about it.
Would it be bloody? Yes.
Would it be uncomfortable? Yes.
Would it be tragic? Yes.
Would it be useless? Only if we are not fighting on God's side, but why would God side with those lawless people who want to murder and destroy the freedom of the people -- is not God on the side of the oppressed??
