“Decades ago, KGB spy Yuri Bezmenov”
Yuri was not a spy. Espionage was not his forte.
It was similar in the University of Texas system in the early 70’s, though it came from a minority of professors. It took some years to throw off the brainwashing. Years of exposure to the real world was the cure.
Interestingly, while there was various survival collaboration among Korean War and Viet Nam War US pow’s the ideological propaganda attempts were an almost complete failure. From what I have read, the nork approach was of such a simplistic one that the generally literate (and in the case of Viet Nam almost all POW’s were officers with STEM degrees) target populations found inculcation with propaganda geared to illiterate peasants to be totally unconvincing if not silly.
The Chinese have only gotten more sophisticated over the years and I would expect if they capture a number of US personnel in the next war that they will try a more subtle and persuasive approach as is described here. That along with the decay of US culture should produce a good many real collaborators. Separation of POW’s into ethnic and sexual groups and segregating officers and career enlisted personnel will also be done.
No way we're going to unring that bell.
Like cancer it spreads
Excellent read this morning. This guys parents did good. I hope this essay gets distributed far and wide.
If I could make every student read a book it would be 1984.
If I could make every student and American watch a video it would be Yuri Bezmenof. It explains almost everything happening with the left…nothing else really makes sense.

I graduated from CU in ‘82. I attended eight years after graduating HS, after four years of army service and two years of community college. Needless to say, my perspective was much different than the 18 to 20 year olds in my classes. I did have positive experiences with a few professors but most were leftists. The take home for me was that independent thought was largely forbotten.
Demoralization was the first and most critical step, and it involved infiltrating the institutions.
Many never notice the ring placed in their nose
Grown-ups accept today's Leftist indoctrination w/o thinking or challenging. I can't tell you how many people believe that all of Biden's policies, like shutting down drilling, have nothing to do with energy prices. They all say it's Putin's price hike and blame the "war" in Ukraine for that and inflation and high food prices etc.

explained that to my kids starting in first grade..... believe the truth and love your country, God and family. “A bunch of losers are going to try and trick you... don’t fall for it. But tell them what they want to hear and move on.”
As they got older, I directed them to books and just sat and talked to them. Worked well.... family is the key... and that’s why they want the parents to be minimally involved in a student’s education.
The important point here is that the cost of education is way overpriced.
Throwing it back at the leftist professors, there needs to be price controls on how much a professor makes. Cut their salaries in half or maybe even down to a third.
Next up. A university should provide an education first. And that means, minimalist dorm and campus. You don’t need a billion dollar campus to teach students math and science.
Also, the education’s primary goal should be to prep a person for a career and give them the ability to make a living. Fluff degrees should be cut or at least not subsidized by the rest of the university. Make the gender studies majors pay more... but that would be sexist.
