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.
