The Long Game to End America
American Thinker ^ | 28 Mar, 2026 | Jay Rogers

The communists’ infiltration plot has succeeded in America. We understand how they did it. It is now our job to fight back.

If you haven’t yet watched Yuri Bezmenov’s 1984 interview with G. Edward Griffin, stop whatever you’re doing and find it. Not because it’s entertaining, though it undeniably is, but because it reads less like a Cold War relic and more like a leaked strategic planning memo from the faculty lounge.

Bezmenov, a former KGB propaganda officer who defected to the West in 1970, laid out with clinical precision how a free society could be destroyed from within: not through tanks or missiles, but through patience, infiltration, and the slow corruption of institutions. Four decades later, the progressive left has not merely drifted toward democratic socialism. It has arrived, unpacked its bags, and redecorated the living room, and is presently debating whether to tear down the load-bearing walls.

Bezmenov described a four-stage process of ideological subversion: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization. The first stage he estimated would require fifteen to twenty years, roughly the time needed to educate one generation inside a corrupted academic framework. By the time that generation reach positions of influence, he warned, no quantity of factual information will alter their perception of reality. They have been conditioned to dismiss inconvenient truths as hate speech, misinformation, or the ravings of extremists.

We have been living inside that first chapter for the better part of three decades. I coached high school football and rugby long enough to watch two full generations of young men graduate into exactly the kind of ideological fog Bezmenov described.

Ayn Rand, writing independently and decades earlier in Atlas Shrugged (1957) and The Virtue of Selfishness (1964), arrived at the same destination by a different road. Rand identified the foundational error

Factual evidence does not matter to leftists. They have their religion and you shut up.

...They have their religion and you shut up....

That pretty much describes what the article says in a whole bunch of words. Don't argue the facts just make anybody who opposes the incoming tyranny into the villains .

Masters of Deceit: The Story of Communism in America and How to Fight it
by J. Edgar Hoover (Author)

1958

“Every citizen has a duty to learn more about the menace that threatens his future, his home, his children, the peace of the world - and that is why I have written this book. Communism is more than an economic, political, social, or philosophical doctrine. It is a way of a false, materialistic “religion.” It would strip a man of his belief in God, his heritage of freedom, his trust in love, justice, and mercy. This book is an attempt to explain communism - what it is, how it works, what its aims are, and, most important of all, what we need to know to combat it.”

America elects presidents who honor homosexuality, our ‘entertainment industry’ supports genital mutilation (Trans) and we’re all about Self-Worship... and we wonder why God is turning away from our once blessed nation? America will ONLY be saved by turning back to God, thru faith in His Son, Jesus Christ the Redeemer.

My only hope is that evolution takes over and future generations will be smarter and less prone to being manipulated.
We have seen glimpses of it with Charlie Kirk and the young peoples support for our president.

Sad thing - mid-terms are coming up and I fear the house and senate will be flipped blue.

As voters vote with their wallets, surging gas prices - and soon everything else - will cause voters to turn their votes to the Democrats - which will stymie, if not end Trump’s immigration policies.

And, that would spell true disaster...

Alas, I suspect you’re right re: upcoming elections. And once the left is back in control you can be sure there’ll be hell to pay.

“Neil Peart observed that if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. Bezmenov gave you the warning. Rand gave you the philosophy. What remains is the will to use them. That part was always on us.”

Nice conclusion. But I think it is overly optimistic to believe, even with extreme patience, that the course can be corrected in this nation.

Like in times past, I think it will be necessary to build a new one.

The problem identified is one of parasites living off their host. Socialists, Communists, and the like cannot build the Utopia they sell. They must bleed dry the nations, like America, that offer life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This is where prosperity, truth, and freedom prevail, and where these leftist political theories can thrive based on an imaginary outcome. But once the reality of the fruits of these poison ideologies become apparent, it is already too late.

I AM CONVINCED THAT THE PAST GENERATIONS ARE ADDICTED STIMULATION OF ALL KINDS....AND THEY HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO THINK OF CONTEMPLATE THEIR ACTIONS....OR BUILD A FUTURE.

INSTANT GRATIFICATION—===
GAMING ON EVERY TOPIC—
“NEW CAR”TO SEEM TO BE “SUCCESSFUL” TO OTHERS
MORE EXPENSIVE HOUSING RENTALS FOR SAME REASONS -—NOT PLANING ON OWNING THEIR OWN HOME.
ALL THE LATEST PHONES & GADGETS.
EAGER TO SPEND HUNDREDS ON A 2 HOUR “CONCERT”.
“VACATIONS” IN “EXOTIC PLACES” TO BRAG ABOUT-—NEVER “STAYCATIONS”.
“DESTINATION WEDDINGS”-—IF THEY ACTUALLY DO GET MARRIED.
NO THOUGHT ABOUT LIVING ‘SMALLER & LESS INTENSE’ SO THEY CAN OWN THEIR OWN HOME...

REALLY NO PLANS FOR A REAL FUTURE.

ONE AD CAUGHT MY EAR-—”I LOVE THAT I CAN REDO MY SHOWER INTO A ‘LUXURY” SHOWER”———

A SHOWER IS TO CLEAN YOUR BODY-—FOR VARIOUS REASONS-—
THAT IT NOW MUST BE A “LUXURY” SHOWER SAYS ALOT.

I RODE THE PONY EXPRESS TRAIL IN 2001-—8 WEEKS—ON HORSEBACK WITH OTHERS. I “SHOWERED” INSIDE MY 4 HORSE TRAILER: STOOD ON A LID FROM A TRASH CAN & HAD A ‘SUNSHOWER’ BAG OF WATER—— WARMED UP ON HOOD OF TRUCK IN SUNLIGHT HUNG ON TRAILER TIE HOOK.

NO THINKING-—AN ELUSIVE FUTURE-—A VERY SAD ENDING.

AND THEY ALREADY REFUSE TO PAY BACK THEIR STUDENT LOANS—I PAID FOR EVERY PENNY OF MY NIGHT CLASSES & SUPPLIES-—WHICH ALLOWED ME TO BE SELF-EMPLOYED & ACTUALLY TAKE 8 WEEKS + TO RIDE THE PONY EXPRESS TRAIL.....A BUCKET LIST ITEM....

“...corruption of institutions...”

Homosexual marriage is destroying one of those institutions. The filthy degenerates were able to pass their freak marriage laws and now proceed to advance transsexuality as normal and desired. They want to groom and mutilate children as young as 2 years old with their insanity.

Next, they want to push group marriage. Anything that is destructive to society and traditional family will be pushed. Their ultimate goal is to legalize child-adult sex and marriage. And never forget, the democrat party embraces every dysfunctional, depraved policy. It all starts with the filthy Rat party and it’s radical members.

If you could show them their state capitol on a map, it would be a huge help getting then started, after they finished a course in remedial reading.

Yup...”fundamental transformation” is the Rat Party's ultimate goal. They know it will take time but they believe that by adhering to Rules For Radicals they can do it.

One tactic in long, protracted wars is for “the enemy to become us” in the words of that great stateman Pogo.

One enemy of freedom was BIG GOVERNMENT. First Nixon authored big government by addicting state and local government to FREE MONEY from the Central government.

Now ICE has become the National Police, bigger than the US Marshalls, bigger than the FBI, bigger than all other Federal Police. Today Tom Homan controls the big central police force and he will not abuse it. But whether in 2029 or 2033 the big central police force will be controlled by Stalin’s descendant.

I hear you completely. But I am not thinking of those past generations. I’m thinking about the ones that haven’t been born yet. Each generation seems to rebel against the previous one.

“ Now ICE has become the National Police, bigger than the US Marshalls, bigger than the FBI…”

Ice is not even allowed in to most cities. So no it is not the national police

Every state governor every city mayor is allowed to, urged to -and actually elected to- utilize local law enforcement to protect law abiding citizens. Many are refusing to do so.

Citizens pay taxes for protection

Of course the democrats would abuse ICE. They would take over. They would punish law abiding citizens with it

Where has ice done so under DJT?
