" The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before,
exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it.... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization. "
--Yuri Bezmenov, defector and ex-KGB propagandist
Here is another good quote:
From the “The Committee of 300 by Dr John Coleman”
A State of Perpetual Imbalance. By artificially manufacturing crises that will put people under continual duress - physically, mentally, and emotionally - it is possible to keep people in a perpetual state of imbalance. Too tired and strung-out to decide their own destinies, populations will be confused and demoralized to the extent that, “faced with too many choices, apathy on a massive scale will result.”
